Actually, democratic socialism is working quite well in many countries, including this one. You obviously are confusing it with a terribly-practiced Communism that had failed almost everywhere. The feudalism we are hurtling towards has indeed failed everywhere, also. And yes, I agree, republicans do think history is stupid. The ones I know isolate context-free factoids to support whatever it is they believe, and ignore the rest.
