Correction, Socialism is a authoritarian system of state control over peoples lives.

I liked your metaphor with salad names! Thank you for the video, it was very useful and interesting!
-
to sum it up: socialism is FAILURE
-
It's all Collectivism, it's all a LIE, it's all Slavery in modern form....all this shit is.

the best country; hands down in the history of humanity: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is capitalist, but then again; for socialists, left wingers and liberals, facts don't matter. I thank God for the opportunity I was given to live in this wonderful country, GOD BLESS AMERICA. p.s all the European countries always burned with envy of the u.s.

Lmao sanders is no socialist.
-
Fascism (right wing) =/= Socialism (left wing) @ the Nazi Party! USSR =/= Socialism. Stalinist =/= Leninist, Marxist, nor Trotskyist. Leninism, Marxism, and Trotskyism are good, Stalinism is good. Kinda tired of Capitalists tbh. With real socialism, comes real equal rights, and thus no oppression, nor hunman rights abuses. This video is dumb and has a western ideology. aka an under educated opinion.

The funny thing is that Northern European countries have a rough past (have a look back into the 70s, 80s and 90s). Only through liberating and deregulating the economy and de-socializing other policies they achieved the success status as of now.
But hey, for leftist scum all the success of capitalism is the success of socialism and all the failures of socialism are the failures of of capitalism. It's not your fault, you're only born braindamaged. -
"Socialism leads to Communism" -Marx and Lenin
it means that if the National Socialist Party won WWII they would have eventually transformed over a long period of time into total control and ownership of everything and everyone which is Communism. something that Hitler didn't even knew. -

"Happiest countries in the world".. Screw you, idiot! Do some math, once in a while, will you?

bernie sanders and the Scandinavian nation are social democratic, not socialist. soviet union was totalitarian state capitalist, nazis are not socialist. there are not any socialist nations. the defection of socialism is where the community owns the means of production distribution and exchange. social democracy is not socialsim marxism leninism is not socialism.

rednecks hate socialism
but they idolize the nazis -
Capitalism with socialism programmes is the way to go. You just can't use socialism in society of individuals. We are all selfish in nature. In socialism, the society has to work to their full potential to achieve collective goals. Why would a person work an extra hour if the rest doesn't and still get the same amount of profit? Instead people will work for minimum effort. Socialism only works in a Utopian world, where everybody is selfless decent human being.
However we need socialism aspects for our daily life. For example, healthcare and education. People with extra money, yes we know they worked for their money, have to sacrifice a bit more for the unfortunate people. The children of the poor should be given equal chances of getting education, hey it's not their choice to be born in such a unfortunate condition with no money to get education, is it?
So capitalism keeps motivating people to work, something that socialism lacks, and socialism closes the gap between classes by giving equal opportunity for all classes to achieve things. -
Using "seeker daily's" definition of socialism then socialism has NEVER existed since there has NEVER been a case where "benefits have been distributed proportionately". Since socialism involves government intervention then it is ALWAYS the case that those who are politically connected benefit more than others. Not only is the free market a more morale system than socialism but it is also a fairer system since government force is not involved (I'm talking about REAL free markets...not "crony-capitalism").

What if we eliminate ALL taxes and only have a 70%-90% tax on inherited wealth with a regular market economy? Then all rich people have to be competent and there is still enough wealth to help level the playing field. DID I SOLVE THE SOCIALIST UTOPIA?
-
Leninism also advocated a single party political system --> the ruling party is always the Communist party, hence the monopolies of political power in so-called "Communist" states.
