Socialism is best because under socialism. No one has to worry about being poor or starving to death. No one is poor, unemployed, discriminated, everyone is equal reguardless or race or creed. Today such ideas are condemned as evil. Any attempt to protest against slavery and genocide and human rights violations are met with the cries of COMMUNISM! By the religious right and then they conjure up stories about Stalin, Gulags, tortue, police state etc. So therefore we must stick with the current system of sweat shop slavery, poverty and racism while rich people who already have all they will ever need in life continue to thrive off our blood sweat and tears.
CAPITALISM KILLS:
Amazing how they criticize socialism and incorrectly lump Socialism with communism especially when capitalism has murdered more people than any other ideology. One forgets how capitalism starves the poor, about how beggars are thrown in jail, how native indiginous populations are exterminated so the rich can make an extral million bucks! They dont mention about how they control and oppress the people and how the masses are enslaved 48 hours a day in big factories so the rich can make money. They dont talk about women being abused and mistreated and discriminated. The Ku Klux Klan were Capitalists, the Nazis were capitalists, Augusto Pinochet was a capitalist, Ronald Reagan, Pol Pot, Queen Victoria, Columbus, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Pat Buchanan, the pope, Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists they are all capitalists. Why dont we scream about the ills of their "system" of whatever!
COMMUNISM VS SOCIALISM
There is a big difference between socialism and communism. Communism is where the state controls everything. This is very similar to capitalism. The state controls the lives and destinies of everyone. Under socialism, everyone controls everything and everything belongs to everyone. We dont need to worry about stealing or going hungry or any of that stuff.
You might say, but hey! Who is going to have to work and whats the incentive for work?
Well of course that is somthing else but not to worry! Everyone will be working rich and poor. The workers however will decide everything and we can let the filthy stinkin rich worry wome other time. Everyone will have a job and be paid lots of money. I propose a minimum wage of $20.00 an hour for all workers. A maximum hour work week of 30 hours in a 8 day work week. Every company must hire unemployed workers reguardless of age sex race creed or education and we should also have an education system run by the people who will decide as a whole what to learn and if all else fails, we should can the rich and redistribute their weatlh. dont worry. They have plenty more where that comes from ;) YES! SOCIALISM! IT IS THE BESTEST GOVERNMENT EVER! I CANT WAIT! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
Is it just me, or is their a reason that none of these moronic trolls know spelling or proper grammer?
Soylent Green? Only I don't think it came in cans......
Socialism is not the answer.
Unless the question is, "What is not the answer?"
It's the "new" spelling.

I guess that's why they were called the National Socialist Party!
I laughed like heck at "you make kitty scared " !!!
Government soon begins to demand more and more from the idiots who become more and more stupid as they do less and less for themselves. Soon the government becomes the man made god that it is: fascist, totalitarian, and communistic.
I cannot believe that this admittedly heavy-handed satire was zotted.
It reads like an over-anxious spoofer.
Hand out - good luck in first year college!
LOL!

There are natural laws that govern the universe. They operate regardless of whether or not you believe in them.
Those who espouse socialism think they can ignore those laws. Obviously not a stretch for you since you believe you can also ignore those which govern time. Perhaps you should try the law of gravity next. I'm sure your community still has some high buildings somewhere. But hurry! They'll be replaced by mud huts very soon if you get your way.
You need to read some history before we can give you a response that you'll understand, but perhaps this is a good start;
"Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried".
Winston Churchill
Essentially it comes down to exactly that - Capitalism isn't very good, but it's better than any of the alternatives that we've seen.
