You haven't seen much of the world, have you. What you say is patently untrue.

Access to housing is nowhere in leftist countries (also what does that mean, failed social experiments in South America, France or someplace else? russia and China are highly capitalistic dictatorship, nothing left leaning there). Liveable salary guarantee - nope not true check how folks serving you at mcdonalds live. Healthcare ain't completely free anywhere, ie dental care is super expensive all across Europe. But this past point is closest to truth in some places.

I should have said "should have...", maybe this was not clear. I am not claiming tha there's a "perfect" country. Some countries come pretty close though, where you have affordable public transportation, affordable housing and affordable health care. For example and Germany and Switzerland (two countries where I have lived for long periods of time), nobody will die because they can't afford health care. Nobody will be homeless because they can't afford an apartment (yes, I know, there is also homelessness in these countries, but for a variety of other reasons).

Doe that mean it's perfect? No, of course not, there is always room for improvement.

The place he described exists only in the mind of avowed leftists, who refuse to accept that it will never be realized but are more than willing to force others to suffer in order to try yet again.
