Ligma2, explain to me how you are good at history, and even average at economics. Are you familiar with Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Chavez? Every Western country that flirted with socialism regrets it. France, GB, Sweden, Greece, etc. are still suffering from hangover from socialist policies. Argentinians voted for Milei because socialism destroyed their economy. Capitalism has its flaws, but so far it's the best we got. I'm not a religious zealot so if something comes along that is better than capitalism, I'm all for it, but Socialsim is a proven failure.
