As opposed to capitalism where the less fortunate live in tents under overpasses and wait in lines for soup and bread. While the slightly less fortunate toil away for their entire lives while their boss sits on his ass and makes billions doing nothing, none of which will go to bettering the human condition for anybody but himself. Capitalism is a failure and none of you have the imagination to conceive any alternative because you view selflessness as some sort of cardinal sin.

I feel like I fall somewhere under this umbrella. Like a free market with government programs to help the less fortunate and socialized medicine.

TLDR: Atlas Shrugged and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race, go watch hypernormalization and all watched over by machines of loving grace, both are by adam curtis

Oh to be so privileged that you think there’s nothing stopping them from getting a job

It’s kinda hard to get a job when your prospective employers are replacing you with machines, because they don’t ask for raises and go on strikes. Also most jobs don’t even pay enough for you to afford rent. I don’t blame them for doing drugs when this world is such a shitheap either

precisely, because i worked with underprivileged people and most of our clients received public benefits to some capacity. and those that didn’t struggled to receive stuff like medical care and even therapy to deal with serious trauma

Socialism relies on the idea that people are willing to share, people or more potently Americans do not like that. They are selfish and willing to drown anyone to get above someone else. So true socialism is unachievable because someone will always rally for capitalism. So provide a concession, many countries work well as a sudo socialistic and capitalistic society.

Houses, property, cars. It’s a sore thumb of the right. They will not vote for better conditions for everyone if they believe their own stuff would be for all

Okay well then you don’t understand Marxist theory. Your house, cars, and property (as long as you’re not owning property to rent to others) is PERSONAL property. You will not have to “share” these items under socialism or communism. PRIVATE property is what will be redistributed. Meaning the means of production. I don’t think you know as much about socialism as you think you do.

I’m not saying that I do but you’re right. That is what I learned is sociology. I just also don’t think marketing that to all will work

That’s all personal property. That’s 100% allowed under socialism.

no major country that was completely socialist worked out in the end, for socialism to work out it has to be small scale. people get too greedy and expect more power and resources and it just creates a cycle of greed, corruption and abuse of the system

If I’m not mistaken, isn’t this just social democracy? Just a little more economically right than democratic socialism? A lot of Nordic economies implement it currently
