Why Socialism Fails

I find Christians hate socialism in the real world. But, Christians define Heaven as a socialism dream.
 
I think you are seeing that the problem discussing socialism is that people have very different views on what it is exactly. The dictionary has one definition. When you see right wingers cast true socialist systems like Cuba, the USSR and the old China into the same discussion as the United States adopting policies similar to Europe or Canada, reasonable people will point that out as a false comparison. So let us throw the USSR model out the window, no one is advocating that at all. Lets talk about how democratic socialist nations solve problems for people.

If you watched the video, you heard it right from the horses mouth. This guy lived through it. Sweden tried it in the 70s-80s. It failed. The system they presently are under is not socialism. There is a reason all the "green new deal" advocates are not giving specifics. People better educate themselves, lest we find ourselves in the same bind Venezuela, Cuba, USSR, and NK found themselves in. I hope MCconnel forces a vote on it.

The GND is not socialism. Sweden in the 70s and 80s ended up as Sweden today which is far more socialist then we are as are Canada, Australia and much of the Western World. Crying about Cuba or the USSR might impress your buddies but it's a sure sign of your lack of knowledge of the subject and the world.

That's not really true... The Christian heaven is free from want or need but not because "souls" share -- it is because God shares. The devout Christian does not believe that all of the souls will share each other's fruit. The belief is what God shares is fulfilling and satisfying to all.

That's socialism.
 
The Cold War ended years ago. Conservatives can no longer scare young people by likening socialism to Communism. Young people are more likely to support socialism than capitalism.
