You're also benefiting from socialism in this country. Ever drive on a road?
Capitalism works and socialism doesn't. If you don't like Capitalism even though you're benefiting from it right now then feel free to move to a socialist country.
If you are a robot, words like socialism will trigger autonomic reactions. You may feel a sudden rage or fear that somebody is going to take something from you, that you will be sucked down some black funnel and become a member socially contemptible class, etc. Robots are programmed to react to words by brainwashing. It's really pathetic to be like that, to be only a primitive reaction like a worm that shies away from light, with no override mechanism that allows real thinking to take place. There are so so many words like this that amount to BOO for the mentally disabled, folk who walk though life on auto-pilot.

Try to Produce without one.
I'd love to know what wealth is generated by roads.
Means of production refers to physical, non-human inputs used in production—the factories, machines, and tools used to produce wealth[1] — along with both infrastructural capital and natural capital.
wut?
Samuelson concluded the economic description of the Soviet Union and marxism in 1989: "Contrary to what many skeptics had earlier believed, the Soviet economy is proof that ... a socialist command economy can function and even thrive." [14] The Collapse of Communism happened during the same year and the Soviet Union broke up two years later.
Yea I saw afterwards honestly. Cars and homes are not means of production, ah well. Anyway I'm not against public ownership of roads but it doesn't justify socialism.
1989 was some of the worst years to live in USSR. Not sure what point there is to be missed. In 1989 some economics textbooks were saying USSR was a model communist economy and proof that communism can work as an alternative. That worked out well, it collapsed in 1991.
My theory is that the words 'USSR 1989 derp' trigger clucking.
You sound very confused about socialism actually is.
Capitalism works and socialism doesn't. If you don't like Capitalism even though you're benefiting from it right now then feel free to move to a socialist country.
If there are brain cells in there still firing, you should be afraid. Look at USSR 1989 derp.
Socialism doesn't unwind until literally everyone is so poor you can't eat. It takes everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Instead of bread lines there is SNAP instead. Can't wait until 50% of the population is on them. We are at 17% and rising fast. Socialism yeah!

oh, you're talking about communism!
lol. try to stay on topic. derp.
Go look up what USSR stands for.oh, you're talking about communism!

Nah, socialism ideologically is never what socialism does in practice. It always results in bread lines, command economies, etc. in practice.
Look at Europe if you want to know what socialism does, since Europe is more socialist than the US.
OK, I am starting to believe the public education system is, indeed, failing us.
this is one of the dumbest fucking failures of a comment. sad to say, it wasn't even from incorrigible the sock puppet.
Sadly, most people opposed to socialism think they are the same thing.
The EU's current situation has nothing to do with Socialism. It's a combination of a poorly conceived governance and a weakness within Capitalism itself. The same weakness that struck the US economy in 2008.
Eh I fire off my keyboard for fun without really checking. A quick wiki searched proved otherwise but I "let it ride" for fun. It didn't take long for someone to find the exact same link I already read.
I was overextending to make the point I wanted to make and I knew it, meh. You guys are overly critical in my opinion. Especially considering how horrendously wrong you guys will be on how the Eurozone plays out :awe:
