Hey I agree the morons who voted for those people are accountable as are the establishment conservatives who allowed Trotskyites to hijack their party because they bought into a conservative branding scheme. What does that have to do with a proven failure of an economic theory like socialism?
You are saying that people ran under the premise of implementing fiscal conservatism but its easily shown that they did not implement those policies where as the soviets and other socialist systems did implement socialism and it lead to the corruption you use as an excuse for their undoing because long term socialism isnt a viable system.

The "socialism" implemented by FDR during the New Deal, and defended/sustained by Eisenhower in the 1950's, was arguably more socialist than the kleptocracy they had going in the Soviet Union.
Get it through your head that people advocating for Democratic Socialism is much different than they socialism they
tried to implement in Russia. Nobody is advocating that workers own the means of production as a rule, only that we have a mixed market that is a little more mixed and a little less market.
