Ben Shapiro Debunks 5 Lies About Socialism

Just a thought. You can be a socialist in a capitalist economy, but you can't be a capitalist in a socialist economy.

Crazy how the “no kings” people want the government to control every facet of their life.

Socialism = centralized power Thats why power hungry dictators love it and its easy to sell to uneducated mobs

Every one who tries to debunk this video will do so in their nice room filled with electronics video games and other luxury items all while claiming life isnt fair

This is just common sense. I don’t understand why anyone would want socialism.

Every modern economy is a mixed economy.

“The words full of hatred with which socialists often address us are really very strange! What then! If by mischance we were mistaken, should they not deplore this? What are we saying? We say: After mature consideration, it has to be acknowledged that God has done well, so that the best conditions under which progress can occur are justice and freedom. Socialists think we are mistaken; that is their right. But they should at least be sorry about this, for if our error is proved it implies that it is urgent to substitute the artificial for the natural, arbitrary systems for freedom, and contingent and human inventions for eternal and divine design. Let us imagine that a chemistry professor comes and tells us: "The world is threatened with a major catastrophe; God has not taken sufficient precautions. I have analyzed the air escaping from human lungs and seen that it is no longer fit to breathe, so that, calculating the volume of the atmosphere, I can predict the day when it will be totally corrupted and when humanity will perish by consumption unless it adopts the artificial means of respiration that I have invented." Another professor comes forward and says: "No, humanity will not perish in this way. It is true that the air that is used for animal life is no longer fit for this use, but it is fit for plant life and that exhaled by plants is fit for humans to breathe. An incomplete study led people to believe that God made a mistake; more detailed research has shown that He included harmony in His work. Men can continue to breathe as nature intended." What would people have said if the first professor had covered the second with insults, saying: "You are a chemist with a heart that is hard, dry, and cold. You are preaching a dreadful laissez-faire; you do not like humanity, as is shown in your demonstrating the uselessness of my breathing apparatus"? This encapsulates our entire quarrel with the socialists. Both our camps want harmony. They seek it through the countless theoretical systems they want imposed on people by law; we find it in the nature of people and things.” Frederic Bastiat

I lived in a rundown trailer house and even a pay by the hour motel when I was little. I did graduate high school, I did get married before having kids, and I’ve had a full time career for a couple decades now. Through years of hard work and dedication, I bought a 5000 square foot house on a huge property. And I’m not even a millionaire. Not even close to it. That outcome doesn’t happen under socialism.
