Why was the global liberal revolution more successful than the global socialist revolution?

Both were radical shake-ups of the social order that strip power from the elites. Did socialism simply come too soon?

Political history is history. But this thread isn't just about political history, it is also about revolutions, which have military and social aspects to them, which are definitely history.

You il/lit/erate retards can just fuck off back to your leftist containment board.

Was it really though? The "global liberal revolution" only really affected a few countries directly, like France and the New World countries. Any other country that was liberalized by this "revolution" had either done it gradually, like the UK, or was forced into it, like Germany.

This is the result of liberal democracy being a clearly superior system to feudalism and the shit-tier political systems of Europe at the time. Liberal democracies could out-produce, out-match, and provide higher standards of living then their monarchist rivals. That is why some countries became more liberal gradually. Additionally, liberal democracies could create more powerful armies, which is how it spread across to other European countries who were forced into it.

Now compare this "global liberal revolution" to the "global socialist revolution." Socialism took hold in Russia and China, two of the worlds most populous nations. Already this "revolution" is more successful than that of the liberal revolutions, it took hold in a far larger portion of the world. However, over time, it became obvious that socialism was a blatantly weaker system than liberal democracy, so the concept did not spread to most of the world.

Socialism is just the scientific application of liberal democratic ideals desu senpai

The USSR and Chips failed to build socialism because Marxism can't be applied to an illiberal environment

In the United States, at least, the liberal revolution wasn't a shake up at all. Institutions of representative government had existed in the thirteen colonies since the beginning, and in Britain since the 13th century.

Socialism turns out to not work as well as capitalism for creating prosperity. Capitalism combined with a liberal social order (like no hereditary nobility) creates good societies, so that's what haooened.

Socialism is the best way to lift the abject poor out of their situation, just look at Cuba.

Problem is that there's little way to catch up to the most developed capitalist economies, especially with a centrally planned economy that offers less room for innovation.
