i think socialism is much better than capitalism
|
Why?
|
more beneficial for the people, everyone can afford healthcare and education, taxation is fairer, better regulated financial sector and stuff
|
Well, the most economically socialistic countries today are Cuba, North Korea, China, Vietnam, Syria, and Turkmenistan. I would rather be poor and living in the UK or USA before I would want to live in any of those.
So while socialism makes everyone equal, the luxuries provided by the rich for the poor in a capitalistic society outweigh the negatives.
We have better roads, air quality, safety, food, medical facilities, education, and so on.
In the US, if you are dirt poor and get sick, you go to a hospital, get treatment, file bankruptcy if need be, and move on. In China, you die.
I will take the US over China any day.

youre confusing socialism with communism, a common mistake, but one that most capitalists make, youre also forgetting that thoose countrys are also either very poor and undeveloped or in the case of china, have incredibly authoritarian governments, im a libertarian (using the terminology of thepoliticalcompass.org not US political party)
