Give a man a fish and he'll be on your front porch every morning expecting his free fish. Socialism is best described as reducing everyone to the lowest common denominator.
Not discussed here is the REAL problem in many countries. The real problem is that the Capitalists running the world such as sellers of goods and services and many landlords have increased rents and the prices of goods and services to an astronomical level worldwide. In many places on the planet even if you make a decent salary, you have to spend most of your earning on cost of living. That applies to cities that have jobs. The rich AND governments charge the poor and middle class based on what the minimum wage is or the median salary is. Thereby, fleecing society of any chance to save money. That is why the Federal Reserve (basically rich banks somehow allowed to control the nation's interest rates) raise and lower the national interest rates constantly so the rich can continuously overcharge anyone with any semblance of savings or that has a better chance to save money based on economic conditions. To save the world economically, there should be a FLAT tax across the board of 14 percent that ALSO applies to rich people. That way, the burden is not on the poor and middle class to carry the nation. That would balance the economy. But, the problem is that the rich have bought off federal politicians through lobbyists so that they don't have to pay any taxes with the help of Tax Loops, Tax Rebates and Off Shore Accounts. In Maryland, there is an actual building the rich use as an address so they don't have to pay taxes. Google it if you don't believe me. That is the problem in the world. The rich are the ones enjoying Socialism through these laws that only benefit them and put a strain on the rest of the nation. Trump has not payed taxes for years and when he does, he only pays 700 dollars. Google that if you don't believe me. Yet, he is worth over 3 billion dollars. So, somehow Socialism is bad for the poor, but great for the rich in the form of subsidies and tax loops. GET THE F** OUT OF HERE !!!!!!!!!
..The rich force the poor to carry the nation on their backs by paying the majority of taxes while the rich fleece not only the USA, but other countries by exporting goods and services and NOT paying taxes there either because they also buy off other governments so that the rich can live tax free. How in the world could a person making minimum wage have to pay twice as much in taxes as Donald Trump. American voters are too lazy to force change by not going on strike against the rich companies like Amazon, Walmart, Iphone, etc. Americans are just sucked into being distracted by the clowns each party puts forth that are there just to act like they are helping the nation, but are in fact only helping themselves and the rich that pay the politicians millions to keep laws off their backs. So in a sense, Americans voters are getting what they reap by not standing up to these thieves not only in Washington but also on a state level and so called capitalistic level. The rich are the ones benefiting from Socialism the most because Tax Write-Offs, Tax Rebates and Off Shore Accounts are socialism programs designed to help the rich while republican politicians yell that they are against socialism, big government and all they do is pass socialism laws to help the rich. Ironic isn't it !!!
I used to like Naval… he’s flat out wrong here though. Socialism needs to usurp capitalism for a fairer world.

Socialism never worked because Capitalism never ever fought it spending billions of dollars and literally made sure it wouldn't.
