left wing policies have proven time and again to make nations and everyone in them generally poorer as business, entrepreneurship, enterprise and innovation suffer, exports become uncompetitive, currency weakens and vital imports become ever more expensive. How would this be good for anyone?

Well quite. Centrist Capitalism may have its flaws, but it does encourage people to work hard, lets them reap and retain the bulk of the rewards for their hard work, allows business and the economy to thrive, puts food on the table, and keeps the lights on.

If people *really* want popular socialism, I can suggest moving to Venezuela or Greece. (The traditional destination to recommend was the Soviet Union, one of the largest experiments with communism ever attempted, but we all know how well that worked.)
