Typically Ian, you're confused about what socialism is because you never really looked into it in any intelligent way. What wrong? Is your mind so impressionable that you cant trust to expose it to different thoughts. Its quite pathetic really.

no problem, educate me, show me 1 prosperous socialist country.

You were the one who brought up "all those socialist countries". Strictly speaking, there is not a "socialist country" on earth - no, not even China. Cuba closer, but not really. The correct comparison you were so cynically attempting to make is between "us capitalists" and the only countries on earth who adopt true socialist values - and they are your 'social democracies'.

.....people are embracing the socialist message in record numbers, particularly the younger generation......

Socialism has never succeeded long term, & is doomed to failure because it depends solely on taking money from the workers & wealth creators, & redistributes it to a permanent subculture that do not work for it, & ultimately never will.

This is usually done by political parties, not simply a good-will gesture for the betterment of mankind, no, it's all done for the political gain of those that create the programs that redistribute the wealth --- the political parties.

Eventually, the taxation increases astronomically, & businesses ultimately flee off-shore (it's happening now --here--in Australia), because less & less workers can be found to produce the wealth necessary to feed the starving engines of socialism.

“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

Though, in the short term it will thrive because the wealth needed is plentiful, & there never is a shortage of hands outstretched for something "FREE".

The problem with capitalism is that eventually some smart guy realises a system called "money" is required!

Yeh, i wish I was like dream rider and played the game of capitalism in my head with no money

Wish all you want, 'till you're red & blue in the face, you'll never attain what I have, especially if Socialism is your vehicle of choice.

Oh its socialism that cheats workers of the wealth they create is it? These absurd distortions are becoming more regular which I'm glad to say means that capitalism is getting scared. I certainly have to agree with the professor that in the last few years I've noticed a lot more favorable talk about socialism then I have known in a long long time. You see DRx just cause you swallow the propaganda more readily does not mean that most people cant see that capitalism collapsed in 2008 and the only thing that brought it back to life was the peoples $$$$. You really are as bad as any North Korean automaton worshiping the dear leader.

It's normally the younger people that like the ideals of socialism.
Also poor people who see it as a way to easily improve their lives.

The US has been too socialist for far too long. This has caused the problems there.

Margaret Thatcher.

The problem with capitalism is that eventually someone Like Thatcher will end up in charge.
