Reminds me of that officer cadet from West Point a few years ago. He posted on social media of his graduation day, pulling his tunic up to show he had a T-shirt with a big pic of a hammer and sickle and Che Guevara underneath.

Everyone on this thread explaining why socialism doesn’t work is wrong. Socialism works great if you understand what it is actually supposed to do.

The essential point is that all substantial economic effort and production requires capital. Should capital then be controlled by government or by private individuals? Yet the question nearly answers itself in that it is hard to find any economic activity that requires or benefits from being capitalized and fully run and controlled by government instead of private individuals. Even the apparent examples like road building and weapons development fall apart on examination because they work best when government acts as the contracting agency and hires private companies to do the work.
