Name a Pro of Socialism, for this exercise sake, try to argue for Socialism:

I'll start,


Crime will decrease because no one can afford drugs and no one has private property to have stolen.

Theft has gone down because eating trash out of trash cans isn’t technically stealing.

I guess I could come up with something in theory, but in real life, socialism doesn’t work.

***Every citizen will have access to education and health care.

***It allows for balance in wealth and earnings.

***It eradicates monopolies in corporations.

Every citizen currently has access to healthcare and education.

What do you mean “balance”?

There are already laws enforced to prevent monopolies.

Well, our obesity epidemic will go away pretty fast, because food won't be nearly as abundant.

Socialism provides better minimum outcomes for those in the lowest social classes in the short term. Cuba had almost zero homelessness and illiteracy before the Soviet Union collapsed. However, in the long run, everyone suffers.

We will finally be our own masters, instead of toiling for the oligarch class.

Yes, shitty education and even shittier healthcare. Rationing, death panels, no elective surguries. Sounds great.

Balance, yes. Everyone will be broke, but hey, we'll all be equal!

Yes, because there will be no more corporations, just government entities. But those aren't monopolies thank God.
