Socialism is not the workers being their own bosses.
That's called capitalism.
They're so uninformed.
That was hilarious when they said that. 🤣
@George Washington But Biden has all the power right now
@George Washington "Most voted for president in history" MY ASS
im not in favor of socialism and ur also wrong u wrote that in an attempt to poke fun at their ignorance yet urnt so informed either
"I'm a socialist myself" - Kid wearing a $500 Apple Watch, and carrying a $1200+ iPhone.
"Capitalism is kind of the driver for a lot of the problems we have in America' - Girl carrying an iPhone and Airpods.
It is amazing how ignorant these kids are of the horrendous brutality and deaths that socialism has brought to the world.
Morbidly obese girl carrying an iPhone and Airpods, meaning she surely hasn't redistributed any of her food to the hungry. .
You're mixing up socialism with communism. Individuals do own personal property in socialism.
@@hyeung1 I believe the point is, under a socialist regime you would not have the money to purchase expensive items such as the iPhones. You would be concentrating on not starving. See Cuba, China, USSR, Venezuela, etc, etc, etc, etc……
@@heisenhammer LOL. This game me a good laugh.
One of my first jobs was waitressing at a café where they pooled tips. If you worked a shift w/ two other go getters it was great, but when you worked a shift w/one or 2 slow-pokes or a lazy loser who didn't take care of their customers you got shafted. I learned at 17yrs old that redistributing wealth does not and cannot work.
Thanks, you have given us a great example.
That's an excellent example of how redistribution of wealth works! Well said.
Yup, that’s why at my old restaurant job we all decided to not pool tips. Works much better that way
Well said! GREAT EXPLANITION.
yep. the idea of socialism works great on paper. in reality, why do people work hard when the incentive is not there?
"I'm a socialist myself" yet he can't even define what socialism is.... talk about being brainwashed
MSM is doing a great job convincing citizens. Some are protesting in the streets but have no ideal why they are protesting.
"Socialism is a good thing." from privileged American college students. "Socialism, Hell no." from people that lived in actual communist and socialist countries.
Then need to ask them why so many people are in such a rush to leave socialist countries and come here if they're so good and America is so bad.
@@MrClobbertime "They just haven't implemented socialism correctly." That's their answer to that
As an Argentinian that produces me a lot of anger
Which one did you live in? Oh none of them? Idiot.
@@spaminacan100 just like we haven't implemented capitalism correctly. How is that too complicated for you to grasp?
Socialism is basically sharing what you earned with people who dont deserve it
Forced to share.
@@joecooper8527 Theft, basically
Why work.... its what everyone on socialist thinks... why buy property if you can just have someone elses property...
Theft
@@abarrolugos8818 sounds like california in a nutshell.
I love how they say “redistribution of wealth” instead of theft from people who earned money and handed out to the lazy.
Socialism 101
Research surplus value
Socialism - redistribute poverty 😂 Students! Work your asses out to school. If not, leave school and earn your living.
Workers will stop working, and redistribution will fail. Bad idea, and this they shall see.
yeah they dont understand at all that billionare business owners do more to fight homelessness successfully than the government every could.
"When you put it that way"
It baffles me how these students never thought of that themselves.
Boy, kids are getting dumbed down. Have them ask their professors how much money they make...then ask for some of their money
well that's how it worked in almost all socialist countries and Nazi countries- the public education systems were influenced which led the kids to believe things that weren't true which inevitably led to the fall of the country. We NEED to be in our local schools reforming the lies being taught and maintaining the real education kids are supposed to receive.
Not dumbed down. Brainwashed. Deliberately. It’s a tactic.
ask hell, take their money and then thank them for sharing
I love this idea.
@@haghendowdy4750 it's in the churches too
I love how they are all for redistribution of other peoples money, but as soon as it comes to their money “oh no no, I don’t like it”
Lmao
1 redistributing anything isnt socialism 2 ofc why would u redistribute something from poor its from rich to poor
@@otarisuxiashvili22 Bye troll 🤣 👋🏼
Yup. It’s because they’ve lived in a bubble their whole life being groomed by the system than has been convincing collectivism is great. No one really believes it and everyone stops in their tracks when socialism is starts. Ask anyone who lived through it. These kids have been brain washed. So sad
If they do get the socialism they think they want they'll find out the only wealth redistribution will be their money to the ruling class.
@@otarisuxiashvili22 you’ll find out soon enough. It will be too late then. Please look at all the socialist countries and see who’s it worked and ended. The only people this works for are the political elites. I was born in a communist country. It’s started off from socialism.
A friend of mine has a teenage son who came to him asking his father to donate money to some local cause. When my friend declined the son got indignant. My friend changed the subject and told his son he needed the garage cleaned out and he would pay him to do it. The son agreed and when the work was complete went to his dad to get paid. My friend said instead of giving the money to his son, he was going to donate it to the local cause the son had requested his dad fund. Needless to say the son went into a tirade about how he had been robbed and how unfair it was. The kid is sharp and he quickly realized that when you take money from Peter to pay Paul, you are not helping Paul and you are hurting Peter.
Understanding their faulty point of view is an important step in engaging with people on their level to help them learn truth.
I like what you folks are doing.
Good job!
“As an individual...”
There is no individual in communism, dear.
Good point!
Bam.
It is US not I ..
*socialism, but correct anyway
Exactly!!!!!
Those who have never earned or created any wealth are in the favour of re-distribution of wealth.
More than that, they are in a debt hole. At most, their thinking process is: "we vote for socialism, make our debts 'redistributed' and then vote back, debt free, if we don't like it." But there is a catch! xD
Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
Yes rich white kids
truth
Those who never have to take risk r in favor of re-distribution. Imagine, wanting someone to risk their livelihood, their saving just to give u a secure paycheck. Bet you they never heard of the fact that more than 50% of businesses fail in the first 10 years.
"I will take some of yours because I think you have too much"...that's called stealing and is a wicked thing to force on a society.
Ask them about their GPA and to describe how hard it was to make those As and Bs. Once they’re finished telling about their grueling endeavors, ask them to sign a petition that calls for the redistribution of A and B grades to those who are failing or barely getting by so that everyone gets a C. See which high GPA students sign.
Try to think of brilliant new idea that came from any of the 3 communist countries, China produces cheap garbage because they are slaves to the government, Russia produce cars & motorcycle & aircraft that are substandard that are only used in Russia, the only things that are reasonable are for the military, Cuba produces Cigars & Rum, they are now completely broke.
I think what bothers me most about all this fundamentally is how passionate someone can be about something they know nothing about.
Good point 💯👍
I believe Lenin referred to students like these as, “Useful Idiots.” You couldn’t get someone who has actual work and life experience to think that socialism is a good idea. First off, these students don’t differentiate ‘economic socialist policies’ with free stuff that has the monicker of ‘social programs.’ They tout the Scandinavian countries as these great examples of socialism, when in reality they have all (Exception is Norway with its oil fields) rejected socialism and are cutting back their social programs.
Amen
I liked the idea in kindergarden but when you learn peoples true nature that system can't work if all people were good and would work and help all for the betterment of everyone that it would workout but most people are greedy most people don't work unless they are getting something from it. that will lead to things falling apart no one will do hard work quality sill suffer.
Maybe if you build a closed off community of people with certain personality type they might do ok
@@bunnyboo6295 It's an ideal; An impossible, perfect reality. An ideology is chasing perfection at any cost. In the last century the pursuit of an ideal cost 100 million+ people.
Socialists are always more generous with OTHER people's time, money, and patience..... I've never seen a socialist ready and willing to fork over their own money.
@@MR-to4yp Sorry man, not a socialist you gotta make your own like the rest of us.
@@MR-to4yp Forgive me, I'd like to assume that you're decent human being and not a leech
That's a bingo!
@@MR-to4yp Yeah I thought you were.
Basically everyone in any government position. They create nothing just tax you and spend your money creating more ways to tax you to take even more of your money
The population that has no wealth and property wants to get rid of them.
Shocking.
The only one person using her brain, she knows.she doesn’t regurgitate like all the other one, same language , they don t think by themself.
This Russian girl was brilliant !
These children who think that Socialism is fine and dandy and want to get rid of personal property...then take their stuff and give it to a homeless person...they will quickly change their minds...
"If you want wealth redistribution so bad take that hoodie off and go give it to the homeless person over there." I was waiting the whole vid for him to say that
Guess that means when they drive up in the Jag Mommy and Daddy bought for them I can take the keys and drive off in my new car.
They don't have anything to give, so they don't want anyone else to have anything. These are VERY stupid people that should be sent to Venezuela and never be allowed to return.
What stuff .they have nothing to begin with .even a homeless person knows that live is hard and that you have to put some effort into it if you want to survive.
@@haghendowdy4750 I wish Campus Reform would be more direct or even more aggressive like your comment for example when they talk to these kids. They're too llenient, soft-spoken with their questions. They need to state hard facts instead of just hinting to them to get them to see what socialism really is and for them to truly see how idiotic they sound.
Socialism is great when it means other people who work hard have to give me free stuff, but it's bad if it means the results of my hard work get distributed to other people.
right so why dont we all just stop working and take the wealth- oh wait
Thats it, thats how it does not work.
Socialists love to give the shirt off of YOUR back to someone else.
Scandinavia is socialist so you’re thinking of the wrong kind of socialism.
Selfish and greedy much
I was a confused kid 50 years ago too . Thanks Campus Reform for your work in pointing them in the right direction.
What I like about these videos is that the students still have an open mind and aren't so stubborn that they can't change.
Start asking them hard questions: Name a government that Socialism succeeded.
China....Cuba...Germany....it succeeded for it's dictator...if u are that one person it's great..course u have to kill a bunch of people
EXACTLY!
They always use sweeden, Denmark and Norway...it's stupid.
Better yet, when they say that socialism is "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need" and "the public ownership of the means of production" ask them to describe how the means of production would be operated in a way that doesn't also describe slavery.
@@clauc.5981 germany wasn't socialist lol they were nationalist.
"That's a poor analogy"
No young lady, that is a PERFECT analogy.
Yup...I thought the same thing lol
haha she knows it is just dont wanna acept it
I wish they wouldn't have cut the video at that point. Her tone sounded to me like she was about to elaborate further, and I was really curious to hear what criticism she had of the analogy. I suspect her criticism wasn't valid, but I am still really curious what it was.
@@David-xo5qq same.
@@David-xo5qq yeah same as well.
I was impressed with how open-minded and non-defensive they were, even when they realised they didn’t understand what socialism was or that their initial views didn’t sound so great when questioned.
That’s what we need in our conversations. It is the only way good ideas can spread and have a positive impact.
Lots of ideologies, but when I heard someone from Russia say how he was hated by his cummunity for wanting to earn extra by working harder.... that's when I understood the nature of 'Socialism/Communism'.
What's wrong with earning more if you work smarter, better, harder, longer??? Nothing... except to those that want more... but don't want to work. "How dare you get more than me!!!"
"When it's presented like that, it certainly sounds worse..." THAT'S SOCIALISM HONEY!!!!
Haha yeah, when socialism is presented as socialism and not whatever fantasy they cooked up in their head, it sounds pretty bad.
I was willing him to say that!
These kids are just plain dumb.
With so much passion for wealth redistribution, you would think these kids would be more generous in sharing their high grades with fellow students.
Interviewing thieves. Good stuff.
Ignorant thieves who've been brainwashed by even more ignorant teachers. Wealthy teachers who likely spit on the homeless they pass if they dare ask for change. Everyone is an idiot now and days. There's an ESPECIALLY large population of them on campuses apparently.
Hello and thank you!
Aspiring slave owners. But actually future slaves
@@travincal1 a few weeks to p
Brain dead and Brainwashed spoiled brats who were told how special they are their whole life.
Good analogies. The hunter gatherer food analogy is also a close one, but with food one can figure out when they have had their fill. I’ve always wondered how these people figure out when someone else has had their fill of money, though. Food doesn’t last, so as to save for years later, but money does. Seems complicated! Glad to live where I live.
I’d love to bump into you guys on campus
Whenever someone says "abolish private property" we should just take their phone and start walking away... if they shout "give me back my phone", we should reply "that's not YOUR phone, it's OUR phone, you said you don't believe in private property, right?"
exactly
@@a.wadderphiltyr1559 personal property and private property are synonymous which makes the stupidity of their mindset ever worse
Got to love how they want to redistribute wealth but not hate for the wealth they have to be given to the very poor in forieng countries, take the phones computers and stuff see how they respond
Yeah or go out to a restaurant and some random just walks up and eats your shrimp. And by the way what gives these restaurants the right to sell you these shrimp they don't own?
Great analogy. That would be the worst imaginable thing to them. They would understand that in a heartbeat
Education should never be equated with intelligence. If you doubt that, please watch this again.
Exactly. They're never encouraged to think for themselves.They just spout regurgitated garbage and think they're smart.
Some of the dumbest people that I have ever met have been college graduates.
🤣😂😂🤣👏👏👏❤️
I went to a charter high school way back in the 90s that required critical thinking, having evidence for your theories and citing your sources, also knowing what potential biases the sources might have. Looking at this terrifies me.
They just pass people you really don’t have to do anything. Participation points lol yeah they still have that in college
Haven't laughed this hard in a good while, thanks.
Every interview I've seen with university kids reminds me of that Miss South Carolina video.

Man these people are something else.
And note that later, he doesn’t even know what it is!
Actually that would be common for a socialist because they have bad money management
@@jlall4467 l’m not socialist, maybe because l really don’t know what that is. I don’t think anyone does. Anyways, back what you were saying that they have bad money management. If l was a socialist, me having an iPad, apple pen, with everything included, iPhone 11 with brought storage weekly, with a brand new blue iMac included with everything they had there and bigger qualities. You would think l would have bad money management?
Your argument just very odd to me and maybe ignorant because l think if a conservative person were to be seen with an Apple Watch you would said they had “good money management” yes?
How does ideology match wealth?
Yes, their is people that spend their checks on the first day and there people like me that can have everything in time and saving. It is just werid for you to assume which one is him?
@@cassandramuniz7056 no I wouldn't. I have a conservative friend who has bad money management.
If he has an Apple watch and an Apple phone can I have one of them please. I don't have either and I would like his to be redistributed. Why would he argue? 🙄
I love how the only person who actually lived in a socialized environment knows that it’s wrong. The other entitled little babies have no idea what they’re talking about… Then, when the interviewer asks about their toys being taken and given to others, they have issues with it. Wake up children
I grew up in a socialist country and I´m really shocked how d..umb these kids are. They have no idea what they talk about.
@@morgana2006freemail in all sincerity, I believe it’s people like you that need to be giving any type of opinion on this subject. You truly are the only ones with actual knowledge on the subject.
@@Breitman123, I knew friends that grew up in USSR, Poland, Czech when those countries were communist and had over 100 years experience among them living under communism. These guys would go to communist rallies and parades in the USA and tell the wannbe commies what communism is really like and they do not want a communist country. The results? They were told they did not know what they were talking about, told they were lying about communism and were physically attacked.
Then there is my daughters sister in law who is a socialist/communist. Said sister in law married a man who escaped from a communist country. What do they do? Run around telling everyone that the USA needs to become a communist country. Met him once and it went like this:
Him: " The USA needs to become a communist country, it would be better off."
Me: " You're from a communist country?"
Him: " Yes I am."
Me: " How did you get to the USA?"
Him: " I escaped from country."
Me: " If communism is as great as you say then why did you leave your country which was communist?"
Him: " I escaped because communism is a cruel form of government."
Me: " So your answer is to turn the government of the country you fled to into the same form of government you fled from."
Deer in headlights look.
@@samuelschick8813 Quite a few people that flee from their corrupt country (or state) have a tendency to bring their ideologies/propaganda with them, not realizing that the failed system may have been the problem, and just not only the corrupted place where they fled from. A good example of that is people that move from heavily democratic states (who voted democrat) to republican ones (I.e. California to Texas) bring their socialist/democrat ways with them, voting democrat, and then watching as the city/state they currently live in suffers the same fate as the same one they left.
@@20thCenturyfan1701, Agreed.

Should start requiring college students to spend 3 months in any of the current communist / socialist countries. That would be REAL education !
I don't think they can last that much, lol and I'm Cuban. Especially now, every day there are programmed blackouts of 4 to 6 hours during the evening, long lines to get basic rationed food, and ramping inflation. It will be so much fun.
@@ernglez4390 yeah, a couple of hours would probably have them crying for mommie and daddy. I commend those Cubans that have been brave enough to get out in the streets protesting. Many here in USA think protesting here is brave. They have no idea how blessed to live here.
Or maybe have them give their degrees to another student. Or pay for another student’s education.
I think the only way they’ll understand is if it’s their own money, etc.
Because they’ve proven they can’t put themselves into other peoples shoes no matter what you show them or tell them.
But I guarantee if they actually experience it in their own life they’ll finally get it.
Which, BTW, it’s concerning how entitled these kids are-that they don’t care at all about taking other’s money, property, etc. And unfeeling. What’s happened to love thy neighbor?
I definitely don’t see any place in the Bible where it says, take from thy neighbor.
@@narnia1233 I think it all boils down to what us old farts allowed " educators " to fail to teach. I am 66, I just found out yesterday that my 38 year old son had never heard of the the Bolshevik Revolution til 2017 when there was a lot of news of the 100 year anniversary. And only knows of the Vietnam "conflict because I was there. And barely remembers that Desert Shield /Storm happened also because I was there too, while he was in 2nd grade. We conservatives have been silent for way too long.
@@dallasarnold8615 Definitely we have been silent too long. It’s impossible to teach everything, but the things we are teaching now are not good or correct.
I’m afraid my generation (I’m younger than your son) has been indoctrinated so much that we don’t have enough of us to do anything about this.
And unfortunately I’m personally not willing to put any of my potential future kids in public school. I will be homeschooling no matter what it takes.
I will try to fight it at my local school because I pay taxes. But, I will never be sending any kids I may have to them.

These college kids are the future. The good thing is, once they start paying taxes and own property, they start to see sense.
Blame parents who didn’t want little Johnny to suffer in life.
"Children should be seen, and not heard." I heard this saying as a kid a lot, and now I know why adults say it. ESPECIALLY about today's kids, who have never been more brainwashed and entitled as they are today.
I can see why they feel positive about socialism. They're young and impressionable, and they hear what sounds great from some of the profs...no more poverty, which sounds like a good thing until they hear about the specifics of how true socialism works, as many posters here have shown.
SCARY!!!🤯
“Workers being their own bosses” clearly they are just a bit uneducated on the matter. It’s a luxury belief.

I learned in the 7th grade that when everyone gets the same amount of wealth, there's no incentive to work hard.
Me, too. We called that "Communism" and it had a seeming attachment to totalitarianism. To let the vague term of "Socialism" be assumed to be what we call Communism is the bad analogy, straw man, etc.
I realized in 7th grade, socialism/communism can't work because a majority of people are fundamentally competitive and driven. Even within a family structure, you have competition. My brother and I were constantly fighting over dumb stuff, like if my parents equally cut a cookie in half or it broke 49.5%/50.5%...because heaven forfend one of us get more chocolate chips than the other. Or whether a 3 minute drive counted as a full turn riding shotgun when my dad drove, etc. My brother was always competing with me in school, even though I was older. If I got a 91% in math, he would set a goal to get at least that grade or higher when it was his turn to take the course. You cannot drive the fundamental drive to achieve out of people.
Aren’t they supposed to be going to college to get some form of “higher education?” They literally take 100% of their time figuring out how they can try and sound educated defending an idea that sounds good on the surface, but spend absolutely 0% of the time researching anything about that said subject and what it means. They literally vote by the title of a policy, and have absolutely no idea what’s in it. I can’t even…🤦🏿♂️
“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge”

They have not a CLUE!
On paper it looks amazing, but in practice socialism has never worked.
Notice they never argue for it from a practical real life point of view, it's always theory
On paper... it's still murderous.. they just don't want to talk about the amount of force they will need to use to get their way.
It doesn't even look great on paper! It's incredibly immoral! If there are three hungry people in a room and only one has money it would still be immoral for the other two to rob the third against his will. It's still stealing even if the other two get together and vote to take it. Even on paper, it's immoral and wrong!
The argument could be made the its immoral to not help two people who are starving. That being said, resources are finite, and you don't have any obligation to others unless you choose
@@99Pierogies Right! It would be immoral for the one with resources to hold out on the other two. But it's never a moral choice to steal it from him, even if done by popular demand. This is exactly why we need to bring civics classes and moral philosophy back to the classroom!
“I’m a socialist….” Then can’t give a definition of socialism. Classic. My Grandfather used to say that the more you have to conserve, the more conservative you become. The answers given to the question of redistributing class notes illustrated that sentiment perfectly.
It's amazing how many "socialists" can't define socialism, and how many of them lambast capitalism, but can't define capitalism beyond "rich people bad because racism"
What's the difference between socialism and national socialism?
@@vids595 that's because socialism cannot be brought into effect without authoritarian measures.
@@AchiragChiragg And history shows socialism cannot be eradicated without internal collapse, being conquered by others, or a revolution (which socialism will prevent by making the people powerless).
History shows socialism is initiated voluntarily by people succumbing to the propaganda of its appeal in theory, but socialism cannot be managed without authoritarianism and eventually cannot be maintained without totalitarianism. In the end, you have only two classes, the rich and powerful authoritarians and the downtrodden, but equal, commoner masses. In the end. Socialism is only ever eradicated by either internal collapse, being conquered by others, or by revolution (which socialism, by design, will prevent by making the people powerless due to being disarmed, loss of free speech and no say in governance, policy or implementation).
I love how they have no clue what they are talking about but they are all for it.
It's always people that have never earned anything for themselves that want to take possessions from those that have.

@@kilobyte8321 "I'm in favour of socialism, totally! It's the path forward to a better society! How do I define it? Uhm.... err.... well I don't really know that much about it TBH."
So so true 😢
Millennials aren't all like that. We just want to be acknowledged. I feel for those people.
I keep hearing this word equality. Biggest problem is those who want a redistribution of wealth don't want to put in the same amount of effort.
Bless their little hearts, they're trying so hard.
Defund schools. Look at what's coming out.
Make universities pay property tax since technically they are a business.
@@bigrunts9768 They don't pay property tax? wtf? They offer a service in exchange for money. That's the definition of a business!
@@PANZERFAUST90 ik thats fucked up and its crazy expensive. They can pay property taxes and still make lots of profit.
“We don’t want the government to radically make this decisions, we want the people to make this decisions for themselves”
Isn’t that the definition of capitalism
yep!!
No, that's the definition of liberty. Something which socialism can't abide as it's based upon a collective ideology.
@@wonkothesane8691 Capitalism also fits that description.
@@R3tr0v1ru5 Not really. Capitalism is about economic freedom, not social or political rights. Liberalism usually implies capitalism but not vice versa.
@@Kokurorokuko You cannot have social or political rights if you do not have the right of private property and the right to use that property. The basis of capitalism is that individuals have the right to use their own property to support themselves.

Reminds me of coworker saying we need to give land back to Native Americans. I observed Maryland was occupied by Indians when settlers came so he needed to hand his house over to a NA. He shut up.
Anerica signed over 400 native treaties. And broke every single one of them over the course of 200 years
I love the vid CR did where students were asked to donate some of their GPA to others. "No, I had to earn that!"
Those "students" are a threat to every single Americans life safety security well-being and future , this is insane !!!!
Not me👊
Why is it that that conservative political activist won't include the majority of students answers who realized right off that his questions were a convoluted logic trick meant to trick unsuspecting people?
@@joeshithragman3264 no, it is a simple question, really.
If I was a parent of one of these students, I will sue the school. I will send my college students to study in a developing country, teaching them real life lessons, they'll never forget!
Really people, I work hard for my money and these people want me to give it to others that don’t give a crap about freedom or anyones rights. There is no way I want to have this country end up like Cuba.
They all want someone else’s wealth and are unwilling to share their own 🤦♀️
I say again and again, it always boils down to entitled narcissism. The far left is a magnet far narcissism.
normally the ones without money approves the idea of sharing wealth. It is easier to demand wealth, rather than working for it. there are way more of poor people vs rich in any society.
“I am a socialist but not as informed as I would like to be”.Good Lord help us.
Yes, like not even knowing the definition of the word.
Imagine a surgeon applying that method of thinking 😬

This is why history class is one of the most important.
If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it. More people need to start reading books and not be phone zombies on these social propaganda sites.
I don't think they teach History in school anymore. CRT replaced it.
ONLY if it's a truthful history, not the woke history full of half truths, omissions and outright LIES that they teach now.
Interviewer: Are you pro socialism?
Student: Yes
Interviewer: Define socialism.
Student: I don't know really know what it means.
"How much have you earned this year? How much private property do you own? For redistribution."
"Well, the thing is..."
This reminds me of the Song Imagine, sung by John Lennon. He lived in a mansion in several acres of land, owned two Rolls Royce cars, a flat in London and another in New York. He was singing to other middle class people who were college and university educated. If he'd gone to his chauffeurs council flat in South London he wouldn't have had to Imagine, he'd have seen how desperate and grubby poverty is and how different it is from the noble and pure notion he had.
When socialists assume power they have to take possessions from people by force. This usually means through the use of coercion and violence.
Imagine being a mechanical engineer in control of 300 employees and earning the same as the janitor
In USSR this was true. Engineer has less than worker
In North Korea legit doctors make like $1 a month!
Being a janitor is a truly miserable job, I'd rather be the engineer even at the same pay, out of all of my jobs the min wage ones have been the toughest, least fulfilling and worst treated, and it's 10x worse outside of the west, I'm not saying they should be paid more than the engineer, but that jobs get way more comfortable and easier the higher up in wage they become
@@nonono9194 I'm an Engineer, I've done a crappy job when I was between jobs in my early 20's it sucked people swore at you the money was poor, but I learned a lot from that job, including that your own attitude and general mindset can make a huge difference to you own well being even when doing low paid menial unthanked work.
Imagine a hypothetical that has no basis in material reality.
Imagine workers who create all the wealth while a small minority of parasites live off that wealth.
Imagine those parasites imposing a system that destroys the environment and causes endless war.
"We can't expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find they have communism." Nikita Khrushchev … it’s a cruel world.
College kids "I like socialism. I'm a socialist."
Interviewer - "how would you define socialism?"
College kids "I don't really understand it like I want to."
Facepalm. I just can't handle the ignorance.
Are these the same students that would object if someone took their mobile phone and laptop from them saying they don’t own it.
These college campus interviews make me scared for this country's future.
Rightly so, the next generation after these students will be much, much worse.
It's already over. Nothing to fear any longer. It's all downhill from here.
Yep. People think there is a way back. There is not. The current right is the left from 20 years ago
Tax is a violation of property rights fool
Free shieet is an easy sell to students.
Except they've been promising the same free stuff for decades because they never actually give it to them, yet they keep falling for the empty promises.
I know near 40 year olds that still believe this
Never hear about the work details. It’s always about the redistribution portion of things.
A University Professor had a group of Students that were adamant that socialism (equal distribution for all) was the only way to go so, he told them that for their exams he would average all their results and everyone would get the average grade. For the first exam under the new system everyone got a B. The students that had worked hard and usually got an A were a bit miffed and obviously the students that normally struggled to scrape a D were extremely pleased. On the next exam the grade was C-. The ex A grade students had figured it wasn't worth putting in loads of effort for no personal gain and the D students figured they could get away with doing even less than they used to. By the next exam the grade had bottomed out at an F and, at the end of the year, the students had the honor of being members of the only class in the history of the University where the entire class failed. A true testament to the virtues of socialism.
Student - “Socialism rocks!!”
Reporter - “What is socialism?”
Student - “🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷🏻😐🤡”
This is sadly true, as amazing as it seems that a survey was made among young people between 18 and 25 years old about what they knew about socialism, the result is that about 80% of them believe that socialism is a recent idea, about 25 % believe that Bernie Sander invented it, they do not know about Cuba, where socialism is really applied or the existence of the Soviet Union, when they are asked about historical events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall they do not know what it is about, they think EL MURO was actually a demonstration against the right, a rock concert or something else.
I am from Venezuela, here XXI CENTURY SOCIALISM was imposed, the constitution guarantees things like free medical care and education, but the hospitals are in ruins, there are no doctors and the universities are at the point of closure.
We Venezuelans change a democracy with many defects for a perfect dictatorship.
LMAOooo jahahahhaha🤣
Please go live in cuba!! Try it!! Socialism. !! You will run back to the great u.s a
When the workers own the means of production
@@FerdarPleaseSubscribe that’s the thing. The workers own nothing. It’s the greatest bait and switch scam invented in human kind. The Easter Bunny for adults.
So basically what most of the young people really want is free stuff cos they dont want to work for it.
they are kids and they want to continue being kids.
@@victorhopper6774 They will continue to be kids, until mommy and daddy get fed up with it. Their only knowledge of anything outside the basement, is a college classroom and social media. This is why they're like that.
So did you tear up your free Trump bux stimulus checks, boomer?
@@kilobyte8321 lot of us didn't get one.
@@victorhopper6774 Me being one of them. Those of us who pay the most taxes got a big fat goose egg. But Drumpf's trailer trash base fell well below the income cap.
So intresting
Giving the workers the means of production. That is fine as long as they put up the capital to obtain what is needed for the production of goods / services and take the risks that go with it along with any loss.
Here’s an idea - let those who opt in pay for each other’s free stuff. Hands off my hard earned money.
Bingo 💯 😅
Capitalism allows for that
They wouldn't even have enough money to start
@@wkhristafer Well that weed and iphone money they could split up between them for a lot of better uses, for starters
Yes - let's start with social security! I can manage the money much better than the gubment.
Maybe next time ask them if they would be willing to hand over their smartphone to a recent illegal immigrant, but yet they still have to pay the bill for that phone they handed over.
That's a great analogy. The only part is many of these people whose parents still pay for their schools are probably paying their cellphone plans as well but it is still a really good argument to use against the rest.
How about sharing their GPA with struggling students? Theirs will go down to raise that of others.
Purrrrfect analysis 👌
Some of these students have learned nothing, they hear “social” and think it’s “oh yea it’s a good thing “
So they are all for taking someone else’s hard work but when asked if theirs was forcefully taken it’s not fair....🤦♀️
Plenty of my friends are like this and rant on about how bad it is and how people should get more from the system. Every now and then I offer to drive them down to the local soup kitchen or homeless shelter so we could directly help out and they always surprisingly decline.
These kids have no idea how corrupt their government is & they think the people have a say ... unreal.
If they think our (i.e., U.S.) gov’t is corrupt, they will DIE, seeing how corrupt Communist/Socialist governments are. Regular people are barely given enough to survive-and they give up ANY right to choose anything-while the “upper admins” retain all the wealth, power, and freedom. Communism as it has historically been practiced everywhere has been much worse versions of Capitalism when it comes to equity, freedom and ethics-and I am not sure why these kids don’t understand that, merely by looking at what has happened to all of the Communist/Socialist nations…
The most uneducated educated generation so far! Lord help the next generation
@@nondescriptnyc Because they're not learning history, they get told "socialism means everyone gets everything free and no one has to work. Farmers? Manufacturers? Maybe, but I'll be a poet!
@@Mithrilluin I have family members from the former Soviet Union, and some of their relatives were FORCED into working at sovkhoz (highly ineffective and unproductive state-owned farms). Manufacturing has NEVER worked well in Communist countries, presumably due to the complete lack of worker morale-and the Soviets, North Koreans, Cubans, etc. etc., despite their claims, have NEVER been able to manufacture anything of decent quality (see Volga-their hilarious “masterpiece” cars, courtesy of the USSR!!!).
@@nondescriptnyc Well we won't have that problem, because EVERYONE will volunteer for backbreaking hard labor 16 hours a day! It's not like these people advocating socialism are spoiled brats who never worked a day in their...what? what do you mean they just want to be artists and therapists and not actually produce something in society?!? That's impossible!
As a Canadian, I pay tons, no, crap loads in taxes. Yet I still see people around me with there hands out when we have a labour supply that can’t be filled.
What wrong with working your ass off to better your life and others voluntarily.?
My familia is from a communist country that was once paraded as socialism. What these ignorant children fail to note is that communism/Socialism whatever you want to call it, benefits only a small class of individuals. There is no such thing as "Homosexual rights" or "Transgender rights" as there are barely any rights for normal Women and men who have selected freedoms can barely provide for a family. The children in this country have been pampered, spoiled, and literally never taught the value of what they possess. The current state of this country spells big trouble for future generations and those screaming socialism now, will be quite sorry, but by then, it will be too late. When even my family is considering going back home because America has become more ridiculous than even the communist regimes they're modeling themselves after.... you all need to start worrying.
