Socialism videos are lame

There are a lot of videos pushing poor ideas about socialism.  Here is a rebuttal to one.


Garbage video made for ignorant millennials who already like socialism. How many falsehoods can you cram into 3 minutes? Here is my rebuttal: Fascism and monarchism are not extreme forms of conservatism. Socialism is a bad idea, it is not okay as long as people vote for it. Medicare and Social Security are good examples of socialism and they are failures, like socialism is designed to do. The reason we have a military is not because of socialism. More obviously, we have the military to defend the country and we pay people to do that job. The niceties of society (roads, water treatment etc) are an increase in the standard of living based on the success of free enterprise. Education - yes, if you wrote the script for that video I would believe you are a victim of our education system that is being taken over by the left, that approves of socialism. Free education and "not pay a dime". This is an infant's view of the world. Everything just appears, ready for consumption. But in fact, education in the US is very expensive. An average of $1,000 a month for every child. But other people pay for it so the children are oblivious. College is more expensive. It isn't free. We have to raise taxes to pay for all this. Those advocating for this don't pay taxes now so they have no fear of this. They want to eat the rich. Their envy leads them to think that equality will benefit themselves at the cost of others. It is simply greed, what they accuse the rich of. Equality of outcome is a value of the left, not of the right. We prefer excellence. Europe does not have a higher standard of living. Nothing beats the US. Everyone would rather live here.
