Socialism just doesn't work

Americans who say socialism is good are fucking idiots.

In socialist countries, here is what actually happens

  • A small group of powerful people control most of the economy

  • People struggle to make a living due to high living costs and low wages

  • Most folks can't afford medical care

You seem to have mistaken socialism for capitalism there mate. But no shock there seeing as you are a 17 min old account posting something like this.

Not brave enough to post from your main?

You sound like my 79 year old mother who is against socialism. But would be homeless or dead without all the social programs paying for her healthcare, house repairs, food, hospice, surgeries, etc. No critical thinking skills at all.

Troll? Sounds like capitalism to me.

Go to Sweden and see how oppressed people are under socialism.
