The only reason that socialism appears to work for any length of time is because it's riding on the back of capitalism. The only reason that socialism works is because it has capitalism to support it. And once that socialism verges into full blown communism, totalitarianism, it quickly becomes apparent that it doesn't.

There are no communist countries that have become more prosperous because of communism. Communism has not made one single country more prosperous. It's never happened.

Capitalism has made the entire world more prosperous. Capitalism has allowed for some countries to operate under some guise of socialism for at least a little while. But communism always ends in death. It always ends in destruction.

The most retarded take on nostr.

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production and has nothing to do with welfare.

But a liberal retard can't understand the difference.

Capitalism relies on the exploitation of working people.

And war mongering cowards like Walker will call everything they see as a threat to the bankers as socialism.

Like how he justified the attacks against Venezuela, Venezuela being nationalists who used bitcoin to get past USA sanctions.

Venezuela was a threat to fiat money.

And you can't make a profit trading Bitcoin for fiat if the fiat becomes worthless, that's why fake bitcoiners like Walker will always defend the banking cartels against Bitcoin.

Socialism is retarded. We should try capitalism for once.

Do you know what socialism is? Have you lived at least a week in socialism (not on vacation)?

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production.

Workers being the people who work as opposed to an owning class that doesn't work.

And means of production being the farms, factories etc.

Just because Venezuela had nationalised resources and free healthcare doesn't make them socialist.

They were nationalists.

Libertarians, nationalists, socialists, all provide free healthcare and nationalise their resources.

Even some capitalist countries have nationalised resources and most have social welfare programs and subsidized healthcare.

None of that stuff is exclusive to socialism.

Socialism is just about removing the parasites who make their wealth by exploiting working people instead of working for their money like everyone else.

You could say that Venezuela was trying to build socialism. They did have a lot of socialist inspired policies, their revolution was originally based on Marxism or something similar I think but even under Chavez they were leaning more towards nationalism.

Truth be told it's hard for a socialist country to defend themselves.

Cuba and Vietnam have been the exceptions.

China isn't even socialist anymore, they have a "reestablish socialism by 2050" plan in place now that they've been working towards for years after their economy was liberalised in the late 80s through the 90s.
