this is not the case, this is not the place
Thanks for proving my point for me. Socialists always try to tell others what they may or may not talk about, even when they do not have the authority to do so. It is a free country, so I will say whatever I want, to whomever I want, even if a few leftists get hurt feelings in the process.
socialist Goverments had been in power in many countries, as France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Brazil, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and many others
Nice try but, France, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Brazil, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands have always had capitalist economies, they have never engaged in collectivism, and they were never declared to be socialist countries by the people living in them. The only possible exception might be East Germany, but look at what happened when the East German people were given a chance to change their country, they tossed out the communists.
In my opinion, socialism is the most evil, vile, and corrupt system ever imagined by the mind of mankind. Why? Because below is how it really works.
High IQ person: Just give up all your rights, agree to let us run everything for you, and then you'll be living in a worker's paradise where the workers control the means of production.
Low IQ person: Duhh, gee, that sounds great. Okay, you can run everything from now on.
High IQ person: You've made a great choice, and you won't have any complaints later on.
(One year later)
Low IQ person: Hey, you said that we'd control the means of production, and that we'd be living in a worker's paradise. How come I'm working six days a week, and I have to stand in line for hours to buy basic necessities? What gives?
High IQ person: Uh-uh! You gave up your right to complain when you agreed to let us rule everything for you, so now you have no complaints. Also, we never clearly stated what a worker's paradise would look like, so maybe this is at least partially your fault for being so naive and gullible.
I have immediate family who escaped Yugoslavia during the Cold War, so not really interested in hearing a lecture from someone who has no real life experience in the area.
