It makes sense in the context your post was stereotyping socialism with a definition that is patently wrong. Your quote reduces everything to a right wing sound bite. Canada, France, Germany, Italy and many other countries are socialist societies and countries. The quotes I posted reduced each of those competing ideologies to simple concepts since I was exchange a counter point sound bite. In communism there is supposed to be no social classes, so no one is poor. In capitalism the underlying concept is everyone has the opportunity to get to get rich. Whether they take it or not is up to them. Socialism attempts to blend the two, by providing a social safety net but providing the opportunity for everyone to get rich. Calling BS on something you have not tried to understand is just a repetition of conservative right wing ideology. I thought the counter points might actual create an opportunity for an actual conversation of a wrong headed stereotype you were promoting whether consciously or unconsciously. I guess I was wrong. I will return your thread back to it siloed echo chamber since counter points are not welcome here.
