The entire topic of socialism is not right to the point. It was you who got all agitated about it because I dared to criticize capitalism.I rarely post videos or links, but when I do, they are always very short and pithy and get right to the point.
The following video is a PERFECT example of the hypocrisy of the young Left on freedom of speech – and their complete ignorance of Capitalism vs. Socialism. You don’t even have to sit through the entire 5 minutes to get the point . . .
Can You Define Socialism?
And, I'm also including a short primer on the stark contrasts between Capitalism and Socialism:

Now I don’t know about the young left in the US. But over here in Germany any A-level student has read the “Communist Manifesto” as part of his/her history lessons. And by own bitter experience I can tell you that any left wing sociology student in Germany can discuss the finer differences between Marxism, Bolshewism, Marxist-Leninism, Trotzkiism, various kinds of Socialism and Anarchy at great length.
Now, you don’t have to be a socialist or anything of the like to see that an organisation like Prageru, that has been founded by a right wing radio host and that has mainly been funded by fracking billionaires is probably not going to give you unbiased information on socialism or its finer definitions. So indeed it did not come as a surprise to me that in your video even public healthcare is deemed ‘socialist’. Bismarck would turn in his grave: in Germany it was he who introduced public health insurance in 1883 and it was also he who designed the Anti-Socialist laws of the German Empire.
The system that I grew up in is called “social market economy”. Up until the fall of the Berlin wall it definitely yielded better living conditions than its East German counter part of the “planned economy”. In my living memory the churches - both Catholic and Protestant – tried to defend the “social” against the “market” aspect of it. Alas, since the competing system has fallen that’s been more of an uphill battle. I see you haven’t made it your battle, because somehow you managed to read the Bible without taking away the message that it’s the poorest and weakest in society that Christ has solidarity for. From the point of view of the Bangladeshi seamstress that made your shirt or US fracking victims who are left without clean drinking water from their tab the predator style capitalism probably isn’t all that great.
And - to bring us halfway back to topic - I can imagine very many black people don’t think it’s that great either: after all it was capitalists that treated their ancestors as merchandize and cheap labour and too often people of colour are still on the loser’s side of your beloved capitalism.
