Take a look as many countries as you like, keep into consideration the fact that changes shouldn't be evident immediately, but the preeminence of a political and social ideology should take some time to show its fruits, and decide for yourselves: does socialism have an effect on athletic performance? --Maquissar 19:03, 24 February 2010 (EST)

:TK raises a critical point which seems to have gone overlooked. Totalitarian regimes can and will employ the most brutal of tactics to "motivate" their subjects; this can, to some extent, mask the weakness of their system. This principle holds true whether discussing economics or athletics; fear is a powerful motivator. However, ultimately, it is a self-destructive one, and "successful" systems built on fear are doomed to topple. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 19:43, 24 February 2010 (EST)
