Nonsense.
Individual corruption is what harmed Venezuela, and socialism had nothing at all to do with it.
The US also illegally caused a great deal of harm.
Most of the world is socialist, and all the good parts of the US are, like public transportation, education, social security, disability, ADC, food stamps, unemployment compensation, etc.
hahaha that's the problem isn't it? people are corrupt, people aren't angels....socialism just allows for it to flow widely, and always ends with the vast majority poor, and eating dogs.
China, USSR, Venezula, Cuba, Vietnam, every nation that has adopted Socialism.
Why do you think people being unemployment and getting UE benefits, and food stamps is a good part of America? I think it's horrible...we need less of it, and more people working.
Wrong.
China, USSR, Venezuela, Cuba were Stalinist, which is state capitalism.
Nothing socialist about them.
You can't have anything collaborative, cooperative, and communal without also being democratic.
Vietnam was not so Stalinist I believe.
Social welfare programs are always going to be temporary needs.
Without them you will have far more desperation and crime.
So they are always good to have as back up.
Without government, we would have far less work, such as no internet.
No private company could have invested what the internet took.
hahaa State Capitalism is socialism. It’s just another way to brand it that socialist came up with the deflect from the harms of socialism
The Govt owns the means and production. That’s socialism.
Social programs like welfare aren’t socialism…they don’t work the best, but they aren’t socialism
There is no difference between government "owning" the means of production and controlling it.
Yes, redistribution of wealth is a socialist policy. That alone doesn't make a government entirely socialist, but government is raping producers, that directly impacts the means of production and forces them into supporting government social policy
The National Socialist Hitler perfected the modern day socialist approach to controlling corporations.
He said, "Why nationalize industry when you can nationalize the people?" Hitler understood that bureaucrats can't even run government efficiently, let alone corporations. The only issue is controlling what those corporations do or do not do. Just let the experts be experts and mind your own business, unless you need them for something or need them to stop something. But the old style socialists like Cuba and North Korea still don't get it.
Hitler was an anti-socialist appointed Chancellor by the wealthy elite, in order to murder all the socialists and communists.
He never controlled any corporation except Junkers, whose CEO refused to support the war.
Military contracts were awarded on a capitalist bidding scheme just like the US now.
When you need to control people you just lie and claim there is some sort of threat, like Saddam having tons of anthrax and weeks away from nuclear weapons.
Hitler was a socialist...he formed his own socialist party, the National Socialist, and killed any threat to his power. He then took control over all private industry, and allowed some to remain, so long as they only worked for the good of the state. That's what Facsism is all about.
Wrong.
Earnst Rohem started the SA, (Sturm Abteilung) with vets unhappy with their being ignored after WWI.
He then started the National Socialists are an anti communist and anti socialist party because that is what "nationalist" means.
It mean anti whatever comes next.
Hitler was never a socialist and never started any political party.
He was poor and stupid.
Hitler took control over nothing.
The wealthy elite oligarchy was looking for a good talker and finally decided on Hitler, but only if he ditched the SA, so he killed them all.
Hitler controlled no businesses and socialized nothing.
Hitler worked for the oligarchs, did only what they told him to do, and it was always only the wealthy elite, the aristorcracy, banks, corporations, and military, who were in control.
Hitler was more of a patsy who they could later use to take the blame.
Fascism is never about socialism.
Fascism was created by ancient Rome, using the fascia that was the axe handle symbol of office of the lictors, that showed strength in unity by being tied together in bundles, as a representation of the strength of collaboration of the oligarchs.
