        Capitalists pay taxes to the government to protect them and the nation from foreign threats while the government funding Its charity (welfare) programs. That is NOT socialism. Venezuela and Cuba are examples of Socialism (gov control of the means of production).

        Why do so many folks get stuck on these extremist labels? The most successful nations with the most satisfied citizens combine the strengths of capitalism and democratic socialism. The USA is not among them

        The US spends more on social programs than nearly all the rest of the world combined. But the money comes from the taxes generated by the capitalists, not a single US business is owned by the government, all rely on private sector and private citizens taxes

        No, all communist tyrannies call themselves "democratic socialist" and "democratic people's republics". In theory is different than action. Socialism (redistribution of other people's wealth and take over of private enterprises) is only possible by brutal force of government

        No one would voluntarily give up their hard earned wealth to the government, even the most socialist minded people hate paying taxes, let alone gov taking their wealth to redistribute. Otherwise they would've donated all their access money to charity voluntarily

        Some folks do give quite a bit if their excess money to charity and very many citizens of prosperous nations do not resent high taxes if the revenue is spent on programs benefiting individuals and society as a whole

        There are more people on welfare and live in public housing in New York alone than the entire population of Sweden. Look at the Bronx in Google satellite, most of those towers are public housing, US food stamp program cost more than the annual budget of most western countries

        I'm an observer, and call them like I see them. People who perform better than others want to be rewarded better than others. Socialism, communism, and all of their bastard brethren sap the creative spirit, and are the lowest forms of life.

        cada pueblo tiene derecho a elegir el sistema político que desea y nosotros los VENEZOLANOS elegimos el SOCIALISTA de manera democrática y ningún imperio puede venir a imponer sus ideas aquí, en la tierra de SIMÓN BOLÍVAR.

        No esté de acuerdo con él porque le miente, en Venezuela no existe democracia y no se eligió ningún modelo socialista, lo decretó un populista llamado Hugo Chávez y lo empeoró un dictador llamado Nicolás Maduro, el socialismo es miseria

        I agree that socialism is misery, but Venezuela, like all countries, must choose its own way. If Venezuela wants to be miserable, then so be it. Venezuela was the fourth-richest country in 1950 as measured by GDP per capita.pic.twitter.com/idWGpZnSGY

        Venezuela no fue, es un país muy rico pero el socialismo es corrupción y esa riqueza se la lleva un grupo pequeño de personas que gobierna a su antojo y roban el dinero público

        Not a MAGA guy so keep your cool hashtags for the next guy. It won’t work no matter what adjective you put before socialism. I’ll work for my money and materials, you can sit and be a bum asking for handouts you leach.
