There's more than a whiff of the 'no true Scotsman' about it all.
That goes both ways though.
Whenever I get into similar discussion about socialism, colleague always say; "give me an example of where it's worked", followed by, "no, that isn't socialism".
I've now taken to; "give me an example where capitalism has worked" followed by listing examples of why whatever country isn't truly capitalist.
