Untried ideas??
Lab experiments on capitalism vs. socialism:
East Germany and West Germany
North Korea and South Korea
North Vietnam and South Vietnam
China and Hong Kong
China and Taiwan
Each of these were split geographically, with common cultures, common ethnicities, common languages, and common histories. The only difference was how they ran their social and economic systems. The results would be obvious to a lobotomy patient. In the case of China, tiny nations with few or no resources blew the economic doors off of huge mainland China.
Your suggestion that my ideas have never been tested in reality is, frankly, stupid.
