Socialism is when people want to share the wealth, make everyone equal, and eliminate the upper class. What always happens is that now everyone is poor, purges/ genocides, and the upper class still exists but you have to be apart of the government. The only relatively successful socialist countries are only in name and have had to more or less adopt capitalism IE China and 'Nam.

Get the socialablemug. Obama's double-standard plan of action to take money from high class whites and give to the lower class, despite the hard work put into earning it. This tactic was also used by communist theoretician Vladimir Lenin (Leader of the Russian Revolution and founder of the Bolsheviks), and also loosely portrayed by German Economist Karl Marx. Generally a term that should be loathed, but is unfortunately visible in America's near future.
Obama's subtle allusions to socialism should raise a red flags in the mind of any smart, aware, worthy American

Get the Socialismmug. I don't care what any pinko says, this is definitely not the best way to run a government. All it does is insult human beings who actually work hard and it doesn't recognize our accomplishments or abilities.
The only reason why feminists, pinkos, and idealists like this idea is because it tries to make everyone equal by giving them all equal paychecks no matter how hard they work, and it forces the rich to pay for everything.

Here is why socialism will never work.
1. It forces the rich to pay for everything which is just stupid because,no matter how much money the rich have they will never have enough to pay for everything in the country. That is why almost all socialist countries have crappy health care and poorly built houses. Because the rich can pay for all of the medicine or all of the materials needed for the housing of everyone in a country. Plus when the rich go broke they can't pay for anything else.
2. It gives everyone equal pay, no matter how long or how hard a person works. This basically means that a doctor gets paid the same as a mcdonald's frycook. And a person who works for 9 hours will get paid the same as a person who works for 3 hours. Plus people aren't robots, they aren't going to work they're hardest for nothing. So basically if everyone got paid 15 dollars a day, no matter how hard they work, there's going to be alot of people who aren't going to work their hardest and as a result nothing is produced causing the entire nation to fall into poverty.
So now you see why socialism is bad. The only exception is China, and they're only rich because they force everyone to work and because we build all of our factories over there and buy all of our stuff from over there.

Get the Socialismmug. The simplest definition for socialism is this: democratic workers' ownership and management of the means of production.
Notice, that this does not imply a state. The comparison between communism and socialism is an erroneous one, as communism refers to a theoretical future society - a classless, stateless society in which the economy and society is run generally of the line of "From each according to their ability, to each according their need , and socialism to an economic system
