Why is the left pushing the idea of socialism/comunism so much even tho it showed that it doesn't work many times in the past?
Socialism makes sure not to give power in hands of private players and large players who contribute to GDP of the nation. While any government wont want that , socialism also makes sure to keep price under control , handle inflation and related unemployment. It also protects the people of the country by safegaurding land and labor laws.
Although the country was controlled by the govt the zamindars within the villages usually exploited the poor and helpless people in various ways To evict them up to the land. during this situation socialism helps to enhance their condition.
