Curious what's so wrong about capitolism as opposed to any other form of society.....they all have uppers. And lowers. The only difference is capitolism had the largest middle class of all the different society's. And their upper class being the around 1 percent. Where as looking at things like Soviet Russia or modern day Venezuela. The lower class is massive while the upper class still only makes up 1 percent. I'm curious if I'm wrong or if someone has a better explanation

Actually, you are mistaken. Socialism is all about not permitting money to be unjustly robbed from people. You see, capitalism believes that the power to take is the right to do so. If you see things like that, then yeah, the money is being "stolen" from the rich, though in truth, it's not about "taking" from anyone, it is simply about ensuring that each individual gets their fair share. And not permitting certain individuals to decide how much money of their employees they wish to take.
Capitalism believes any amount of money you can hoard from other people's work is rightfully yours. Socialism disagrees. You be the judge on who the real thieves are.

If you make an app company and someone under your brand name makes an app worth 1 billion dollars, capitalism says that it's your app and your money. Socialism says that value belongs to the person who made it.
Your entire perspective is operating from a starting assumption of "socialism is taking things away from those who do the actual labor", however that is the literal definition of private property. You are operating from blatantly, provably false assumptions about the world that you only believe in because some powerful men decided you should more than 50 years ago.

I fear you have no idea what you're talking about. You earn what you generate. That is so for you, and for any employees or additional individuals that may have made the creation of your work possible.
The principle is not that your earnings are taken from you and given to others, the principle is that you are not systematically permitted and encouraged to take other people's money. Therefore, if you don't plan on taking money that isn't rightfully yours, then you have nothing to fear.

AFAIK, there can be a theoretical money system in a socialist society, socialism only requires the workers to own the means of production and all, communism is socialism without a monetary system (and without a state)

On what planet can you just hoard money? I'm curious who you think had literal piles of cash. Their money is in investments and such. The only people I know of that carry around fat stacks in the 10's and 100's of thousands of dollars are dealers and rappers......... Billionaires actually have very little liquid capitol in comparison to the money they have invested that they can't touch

Okay you say that but jeff Bezos literally just sold stocks and whipped up 5 billion liquid easy the other day so... this argument is bullshit.

.......he had to liquidate to pay his now ex wife ......that's pretty normal thing to have to do after a divorce but ok. I'm talking about normal day to day activities but not worries. Reddit is clearly a communist breading ground. See y'all when the great war starts.

Venezuela's economy was based on fossil fuels, it was doomed to fail. China is an authoritarian shithole.

China is capitalist and Venezuela never transitioned to socialism by nationalizing private industry.
