You are confusing love, compassion and charity, which are all VOLUNTARY, with socialism, which is based on COERCION and ends up with a tiny elite having everything and the people being completely equal in having nothing.
I needed to get old to see it...
"A tiny elite having everything" oh you mean capitalism? Cause america is a little socialist already. So you mean we need a little more socialism so we can be equal but enough capitalism that only a tiny elite have most.

Socialism means some are richer than the rest because they took away their rights and property & put in camps those who resisted.
So basically they mean the same thing right? Cause human nature does everything below the line that says "richer than the rest" prove me wrong though.
I think the answer is usually in the middle somewhere
Can i ask you a question? Do you think people are genuinely good? And do you believe this statement "absolute power corrupts absolutely"
No.
Freedom and slavery are most definitely not the same.
If you think equal outcomes (like Kamala Harris wants) is freedom, think again.
Talk to a Cuban or someone from Eastern Europe sometime.
They'll explain it to you...
Ive been to cuba. Have you? Locals tell me opposing views. Was it really socialism or dictatorship? 🤔
Oh so you agree that a tiny elite have everything and they wont give anything up voluntarily. What are we disagreeing upon then?
You think freedom is the problem.
I think slavery (socialism, statism) is the problem.
I don't care how rich you are, unless you stole it (personally or by using the state as a tool).
Ok so fooling people and lying to enrich yourself is ok? And modern day slavery is ok? (Below minimum wages no benefits, part time work ect) thats ok?
Lying and fooling is not ok.
But there are people out there who do it, so you better watch out and don't be fooled.
Whenever two people voluntarily make a deal or contract nobody should have the right to interfere.
