i mean, dont ask me........ ask the people in Cuba, Venezuala, countries of the former USSR.

my opinion dont mean shit. ask the people who lived it.

Socialisms end of the rainbow

Yes and it’s a stepping stone for Communism.

In EVERY single country where it has been tried.

It worked just fine for the Nomenklatura, until...

Its utopia and makes everyone poor and kills talents and human effort.

Ain't Socialism like seasoning in your recipe...you need just the right amount. And a side-dish on your plate not the main course? 🍲

We have seen the limits of capitalism
The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer

It's good if you use it for little programs like disability or roads etc. It'll gut your ecconomy if you try absurd schemes like "free" health care.

They keep pushing for it, but it's never worked anywhere it's been tried .
But don't let history stop you kids because nowadays if you believe something it's so...

Without a doubt. It has never worked as promised, ever.

I'm too broke to worry about that shit.

They promise that everyone will have a full belly. In Cuba they set the wages and it’s barely enough to buy enough food to survive (if they can even find enough to buy, they can stand in line for hours to do it and it may be sold out by the time it’s their turn to go into the store), the government gives them a tiny bit of food on the side but even that doesn’t help all that much. Cubans can fish from shore but not get in a boat and do some serious sea fishing. They are forbidden to consume lobster if they can catch one but the government has lobster boats and sells the lobsters to other countries and keeps the money. Socialism and Communism is a bloody scam on the common people.

I think its more successful at small scale where the people actually have control over the process. it's when applied at large scale that it loses focus. Oddly enough it's the same problem with democracy..

There is no incentive to innovate.
When the state sticks its beak into and dictates your bizzness and profits..

Communism.. or whatever the kids are calling it these days..
is fantastic if your in the leadership /elite positions..

Not so much as a worker ant comrade ✊

it's irrational

Social welfare works. It’s a Christian virtue towards the weak and vulnerable. Butsocialism as a whole is a recipe for failure.

It is when its critics move the goalposts

It's never appropriate for Americans. Never.
