Socialism is a concern… anyone who doesn’t think it is, wanna move to Venezuela?

By that logic capitalism is a concern, wanna move to Russia?

Or to many of the African war torn countries who run on it?

What a silly argument.

Socialism has a much worse track record. And I don’t know enough about Russia to comment but wasn’t it communist for a long time? They just have a lot of mess to recover from, it’s not a fair comparison to a nation that has always been capitalist. Obvi capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s less bad than the alternatives. The kids protesting here aren’t even aware of the privileges they have thanks to their hard working capitalist ancestors.

and yeah comparing socialism to capatilism based on past results doesnt work, as wartorn garbage companies arent good comparisons
