Listen to what they have been taught about Socialism…


WILD: University of Michigan students PROVE just how STUPID and BRAINWASHED they truly are when they were asked to define what socialism is, while a Fox poll shows nearly half of young Americans still view it favorably.

“Socialism doesn't mean like anti-capitalism. Based off what I learned in my Gov class, it's basically like spending more money on helping society.”

“Socialism to me is a concept in politics where everybody gets a little bit of everything. Everybody benefits and everybody is really taking care of kind of that social net that you see in other types of politics.”
?“I think a lot of people get the economic system of Socialism confused with the government system of Communism.”

We are SCREWED if we do not change how the younger generations views capitalism.

Yes, they are vapid and they cannot explain their ideas. I have never met a progressive who can. They can only explain their feelings. It's the complete feminization of culture and politics. I have a feeling-my feeling is a fact-and I am uninterested in anything other than my feelings-which are by the nature of being my feelings by definition correct. After all-they are MY FEELINGS. No data you present can or will change that. In fact, any reasoned refutation would just be seen as further proof that you are a horrible person.

The psychologically interesting thing for me is how their handlers PREEMPTIVELY prepare them with the answers to any critical inquiry. "Oh it's not communism"-"oh it's not state ownership" etc. They have literally been indoctrinated.

I do not think I have a literal definition of socialism.

But I see it as France.
Socialism is a redistribution of assets through the government.
It is essentially a welfare state where the more the government takes over the services, the lower quality the services become (in addition to more expensive).

At some point (given the punitive nature to capitalists and entrepreneurs and fraud/mismanagement of government and government workers), the system becomes unsustainable and the populace revolts over the broken system.

And the communists are happily there as a remedy to the socialist hellscape that crept through society.

This is part of a deliberate bait-and-switch. Rhetoric praises the Nordic model, which is really welfare capitalism, while blurring the line between social democracy and true socialism. By the time a real socialist agenda is on the ballot, voters are confused. They think they’re voting for taxes on the rich and better safety nets, but they’re actually voting to replace private property with total state control.

Socialism is well done in Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

I had an allergic reaction to something in Helsinki 10 years ago. Amnulance was there in five minues (granted, I was in the center of Helsinki), doctor cleared me in 20 minutes. On my way. Cost to me - zero (and I am not a Finnish citizen).

I was like........not bad.....not bad at all.....

The problem is these losers will bring their "bright ideas" to the government job they are given. Then they will decide how the taxes they collect from the productive class are wasted.

We dont need to go 100 pages into the economic, tax, and demographic differences of those countries and the US.

Do you agree?

Everyone acts like there is a productive class. Where is it?

When I hear the term productive class I thin blood sucking insurance companies that make me pay ten times more for Ozempic than I would if I lived in Belgium.

Do you guys not realize another word for it is "private equity"? Trust me, you do not want to work for private equity.

They have nothing to contribute to the system so would rather take and distribute from everyone else

Certainly that can't be the norm of the campus, yet there was the first brainless young lady who stated her professor explained it that was it was "helping society".


The last young man was crossed eyed and on the spectrum. Back in the day we called the spectrum the R word. Yes Retarded. My apologies if that offends anyone, but rational decisions should not be decided on a "spectrum" of the R word.

My assumption is the professors and most definitely the interviewed have never worked a hard day in their life.

Many just don’t understand what socialism is. Many seem to confuse it with what are really capitalist/free enterprise systems with varying levels of regulation and social safety net programs. This can be dangerous because can allow real socialists—who despite free markets—to pose as those who just want a more robust social safety net. Sweden, for example, does not consider their system to be socialist. They tried that and it didn’t work. They’re a free market economy but with high taxes and abundant social services provided by the government.

All of these places were homogeneous societies that built socialism based societies, with the generous help of the USA WW2 victor dividend.

Are you really naive enough to think this will continue now that they have introduced multiple cultures who come from extremely corrupt societies and much lower IQ? And we won't be propping them up anymore.
