The difference between socialism and communism is the same difference between a rat and a squirrel. Both rodents but one has a cute outfit.
So you still don't understand the difference.
How do you feel about Social Security and Medicare? Every working person pays into it and every retiree gets the benefits. Do you think that is a bad deal? Is it bad for our country in your eyes?

Why are you ingoring the coercion that is required to fund those mostly bankrupt schemes?

There is no correlation between what someone is forced to pay and what they take out. Can you say "immoral"?
Why do Americans hate democratic socialism so much and like Capitalism? Does capitalism work?
No one likes to be the PROPERTY of others.
I should ask... Do you?
The Can Do's v. the Won't Do's, forcing the Can Do's
If I can force you to do what I want, under the threat of violence without retaliation, I own you. You are MY PROPERTY.
They don't. They hate the words, not the practice. Many don't understand the words.
Pure Socialism does not exist
Pure Capitalism Does not exist.
Does Capitalism work? A very capitalistic leaning economy is the best system. It is not perfect, nothing is. But in general, as much as we can get to free market economies, it's good. That said, completely unrestrained capitalism doesn't work. And too much regulation also doesn't work.
Many on the right say they are for unrestricted capitalism, but these are the same people that are not in favor of globalism. Unrestricted globalism is a pure form of capitalism, and correctly, we can't have it (not fully unrestricted, anyway). If we did, then there would be no talk of third world labor taking our jobs, as that would be pure capitalism at work.
Many on the left think they are for socialism, but they too want to make a buck and get ahead.
IN the end, people on both sides seem to not understand the words they think they live by.
Good Post.
We do not have capitalism and certainly not free market capitalism.
More like corporatism where everything is controlled by big business.
Corporatism has more in common with Communism than it does Capitalism.
In Communism, the state runs everything.
In corporatism, big business runs everything using the government as their stick.

Please explain to me the morality of forcing people at gunpoint to pay other people’s expenses.
