+139 Socialism, as a poltical ideology, is NOT bad. It's the people implementing it that are bad, and the people who don't understand it that are worse, amirite?

Just because I strongly disagree with socialism, doesn't mean I don't understand it.

I say this all the time. humans screw up the perfect idea of socialism by craving power, and it ends up killing millions of people. that's the fault of the person in power, not the idea of socialism.

Socialism is a stepping stone to Communism, which is a nice theory but not practical. It is not supposed to be nice because its the hard work before the eutopia

nahh it's pretty terrible. I totally and completely all of the ideologies of a socialist, and there is nothing that seems smart about it. The steal from the rich belief system isn't for me.

No. This is implying that socialism can be correctly implemented. On top of the fact of it being Utopian and impossible, it's largely immoral.

You say it certainly doesn't have the highest, as if it's not even close. The US has the 10th highest GDP Per Capita in the world. Considering how large the US is, and how many people it provides for, I would say that's great. But since you seem so akin to GDP Per Capita, let's look at the countries with a higher GDP Per Capita than the US. Qatar, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Bermuda, Norway, Singapore, Jersey, Kuwait, and Brunei. Brunei is the closest among those to Socialism, but they're wealthy because they have oil coming out of their noses. Every other country is rather capitalistic.
