social construct

A rhetorical technique used (often by a neurotic undergraduate a with a Yoko Ono tattoo) to deny the existence of irrefutable fact. But this is not its original meaning:

Properly understood, a social construct is a thing that emerges as a result of social interaction. For instance, the price of gold is a social construct—it emerges from the market for gold as an approximation of how society presently values gold in relation to another asset, usually currency.

Social constructs are no less "real" than the price of gold is "real." It's not as real as gold itself, but it's pretty damn real.

socialism

a failed market where you get paid the same which gives you no incentive to work and the government is in power so people are poor

its like in kindergarten where you split the cookie equal right? if you think that your brain is denser than a neutron star
if you say well how about Europe?
good question jimmy actually they are as capitalist as America
Venezuela was capitalist before and it was one of the wealthiest countries but because of socialist tyranny it is one of the poorest countries
