When the bodybags are brought out and the corpses have to be cleared away. The country concerned has collapsed and the familiar narrative begins: the leaders of this country were not socialist after all! They were, in the words of the bbc and its hired apologists for evil: self serving elites ( Today prog on Venezuela). Ditto Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Polpot Castro, Chavez, presumably - ad infinitum.
In fact it turns out - there has never been any socialists leaders -ever! Not one. We were just fooled. When the fellow travellers were lauding them, arguing for similar programmes at home they were just getting carried away, full of ideological zeal they had not noticed all the flaws in the character of the socialist leader in question -they had been 'misled'. It could not possibly have been a flaw in socialism - that of course as we know is not possible - it was just done wrong. But when the fellow travellers get into power then socialism will have arrived and the lambs will lie down with the lion etc etc.
Have you noticed folks that promised land, that promised day never arrives - it's always next year not this year. It's the promise that keeps on giving. There's always more human fodder, an inexhaustible supply of corpses and of people willing to keep the lie going.
