Where's the vacuum you'd like to test it in?

If you can't test in a vacuum you can't make a ruling on if it can work. In this case, you need to test in as many conditions as possible to get as representative a sample as possible.

I'm not claiming it should be tested in a vacuum. I'm saying the times it's been tried were while the US would do everything possible to kill any communist or socialist experiment. We should try more times, and also try to influence the US to not intervene.
