I'd rather live in a small, no frills apartment with only the most basic of rent prices to help cover repairs in a socialist economy over being homeless in a capitalist one.
I totally agree...
Lol, what the fuck?
Why would anyone not? Are you high?
No, I'm sorry... Everyone who upvoted this. You get this is stupid, right?
In one scenario, they have a home. In another they don't. They picked the home scenario. Is that clapping I hear? This makes you clap?
The problem is that socialist systems do have higher access to housing, but proponents of capitalism see the system through the eyes of those privledged under it.
Oh, there's people who would not because they've been trained to knee jerk to socialism being evil. The argument as well is that I'd rather live in a society where I have my needs met over one where I have a .0001% chance of being extravagantly rich.
Feel you're missing the forest for the trees here.
This is why most reactionaries desperately cling to the idea that what they’re experiencing is secretly socialism. They literally do the joke “socialism is when bad thing happens” to circle the square.
"But with socialized medicine there will be government death panels deciding who does or doesn't get life saving care."
We literally have corporate death panels at insurance companies deciding who does or doesn't get life saving care. Hell, most of the time its not even a panel. Its one sleazy sadistic doctor who is paid lots of money to deny everything he can.
Under socialism, you will live next to a first generation immigrant from a country full of brown people, you will eat their food, experience their culture, and work side by side in pursuit of a better life.
And you will like it.
Under socialism, your video games WILL be woke, chuds.
Always learning more praxis from Lenin
And those that haven't, have been thrown onto the shoulders of the global south for them to suffer and be robbed. Capitalism has never worked.
Lenin approved.
