: : The proponents of socialism go on and on about the fact that there has never been a system like the one you invision. The fact is none of us know this for sure. I'll grant you that maybe none exist in our history books, but it shows the arrogance of our generation when we act like we are the only humans who have ever been able to imagine a more congruous way of life.

Forget addressing this issue. You are being asked to disprove a negative concept. An underhanded tactic in an honest discussion.

(i.e., When did you stop beating your wife?)
