I believe socialism is the future

Well capitalism is failing us right now,.....

GDP is up. Wages are up. Unemployment is down.

If that's "failing", you're clueless or trolling.

They need to make economics mandatory again in school.

No joke.

It used to be to graduate high school, at least in Texas.

Government and Economics were mandatory, and taken when you were a Senior.

I think we'll adopt some hybrid system. I mean we already got elements of several types of systems in play now. I think there is probably a way to make them optimal while keeping them in place or giving a lil this way or that way.

we already have a hybrid system. some of hte most popular programs among older conservatives, like medicare, are socialism. my taxes as a 31 year old subsidize the health insurance of old people. that's socialism.

we just don't hve hte partnership / ownership of busineses by the government, which is the worst aspect of socialism and why it really doens't work on its own. people pretend to work, the government pretends to pay them, and the government gets super, super powerful.

Well capitalism is failing us right now, so some sort of adaptation will be necessary. I'm not talking about a sudden change to full-blown socialism right now, but I think capitalism needs to take on some socialistic attributes to better suit today's world.

It just doesn't work though. I get why some people like the idea but we have yet to see an example of it being effective. Ask the people who came from the ussr, or any of the countries who use socialism. It's not that simple

there are scores of "socialst" programs and initiatives in the US. they are not new. this country has had serious aspects of socialism since FDR.

The one thing I learned taking economics in college was no one reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllly understands economics outside of the basic sh^t. A lot of people like to act like they do doe.

You're back on Ignore.

You just couldn't act like an adult. Pathetic.

And fyi, I did go further. College, though I dropped out to focus on a career that's been very, very financially rewarding for me.

But either way, despite my perceived lack of education on your end, I can debate and state my case without lowering myself to personal attacks.

You can't say the same thing.
