So where has the left functioned successfully in the real world?

Many countries have implemented left wing policies with success.

The government of Norway owns a large percent of its resource extraction and oil industry. The revenues are used to provide social services such as free healthcare and education to its citizens.

You obviously won't find Norway on this list, but feel free to scroll through and see if you can find a pattern.
