“Socialism contends that capitalist societies unjustly concentrate wealth and power within a small group...”

And, there can be no valid conclusion out of an argument that starts on such a flawed premise...

It is the very success so decried by the socialists that creates the OPPORTUNITIES for individuals to be EQUALLY as successful.

Socialism appeals to the lowest common denominator across the spectrum of society. It punishes success, and rewards mediocrity (at best), while encouraging acquiescence in governmental control of not only the means of production but the entire support structure of the broader community.

No...socialism is not a proper model of government of free people. The only equality requiring government support is equality of opportunity. Any and all attempts to assure equality of outcome are affronts to freedom.

She’s an idiot.

Capitalism keeps the corrupt bass turds COMPETING against each other.
It is not the “centralization” of wealth — that’s GOV’T!

She’s totally clueless....
