I’ve been trying to find the information about how socialism has been tried, but its hard to find some solid information about the subject that does not have a strong capitalist bias. Apologies if I have failed in my search.

    Cuba is probably the best example. The DPRK, though they removed mentions of “socialism” and “communism” from their constitution, I think are still considered socialist with no private ownership.

      The DPRK didn’t remove mentions of socialism from their constitution. Article 1 of the DPRK constitution, for example, already says:

      The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is an independent socialist State representing the interests of all the Korean people.

      You can read an English translation of the DPRK constitution here: http://naenara.com.kp/main/index/en/politics?arg_val=constitution.

      It’s true that they removed the mentions of communism from there, and for some years that word was very rarely used in DPRK media. However, since 2020 or 2021 they’re mentioning communism rather often again in political discourse.

      I honestly don’t know why these changes happened. But that’s all just a lengthy discussion about words, it’s true that the DPRK is still socialist.
