00:00:00.000 You're counting socialism as a scam because it was tried once and they failed.
00:00:04.080 40 times.
00:00:05.320 Okay, you can invent things and earn money in socialism as well.
00:00:09.300 For example, curse.
00:00:10.280 Who started curse?
00:00:11.180 It was in the world of socialism, by the way.
00:00:13.720 Okay, so you're right.
00:00:15.200 I was wrong.
00:00:19.160 Why it would be a scam?
00:00:21.240 What, you're asking me?
00:00:22.820 Yeah.
00:00:23.500 Okay.
00:00:24.180 So, socialism has been tried like 40 times across the world,
00:00:28.640 And every time it's always ended poorly
00:00:30.540 Like the biggest example would be China 0.72
00:00:32.680 Or the Soviet Union
00:00:33.720 That is socialist policies
00:00:36.280 Socialism and communism are basically the same
00:00:38.760 And look at Venezuela
00:00:40.000 They've had socialism for decades now
00:00:42.520 And they're just
00:00:43.360 They're slowly going down
00:00:45.260 You just mentioned China
00:00:47.620 Do you count China as a failure right now?
00:00:51.220 As a failure?
00:00:52.100 See they've walked back their socialist policies
00:00:54.880 Have you heard of the Great Leap Forward?
00:00:56.540 No
00:00:56.760 okay so and i guess it was after world war ii that china really went communist slash socialist
00:01:04.500 and they decided that they want what they wanted to make all the property in in china collectively
00:01:11.680 owned and make everyone collectivist and force them to live communally so they tried to force
00:01:17.160 this on everyone and it was the biggest failure of any policy ever more people died under mao
00:01:24.680 a tongue than anyone
00:01:26.680 under any socialist policy, ever.
00:01:29.580 Right?
00:01:30.220 I want to ask a question, because it's
00:01:32.620 important to differentiate between the
00:01:34.280 theory of socialism and
00:01:36.560 the implementation itself. Because
00:01:38.520 if the implementation is biased,
00:01:40.660 the whole system will fail.
00:01:42.580 But we can't say that
00:01:44.500 the whole socialism thing is
00:01:46.580 a failure, because the system
00:01:48.700 has failed because of the implementation.
00:01:51.240 Because right now, if we are counting
00:01:52.700 that the failure of any system is a scam make the whole point is a scam so well i think it's
00:01:59.920 bad in theory too but if if the claim is that it's good in theory and that that it could be
00:02:05.560 properly implemented then why has it not been properly implemented in the past right because
00:02:10.100 we've tried 40 times in different measures different ways like you could say that sweden
00:02:14.100 tried really hard to make themselves socialist but they had an immense economic crash in the 90s
00:02:19.560 because they tried to tax the rich heavily.
00:02:22.400 Do you have a better medical care?
00:02:25.840 I mean, yes, but they also are a smaller country.
00:02:30.740 They're a small country, right?
00:02:31.900 A smaller country in terms of what?
00:02:33.440 And higher taxes.
00:02:35.100 Right now, we are saying that we are paying higher taxes
00:02:38.280 because right now we are in Canada or at U.S. or anywhere.
00:02:41.760 We are paying higher taxes or even lower than them,
00:02:45.760 But still, we don't have a special thing about our medical care system.
00:02:52.220 And it collapses.
00:02:53.980 I think it collapses a lot.
00:02:56.680 And because right now, if we are counting,
00:02:59.300 if you are saying that socialism is a scam,
00:03:01.700 so what would be that it's not a scam?
00:03:05.420 Is it capitalism, for example?
00:03:07.140 Capitalism is better, yes.
00:03:08.740 And people just don't understand it.
00:03:11.140 Okay, so tell me about capitalism.
00:03:13.860 Maybe I don't understand it.
00:03:15.420 Okay. All right. So capitalism, inherently it is the freedom of choice, right? So you have the
00:03:22.120 freedom to choose which person you're going to purchase. Let's say we're going to, let's just
00:03:26.440 have a hypothetical example. Let's say we want to go buy lunch and we have 30 different vendors
00:03:31.140 that we want to, we could, we could consider buying lunch from, but one has really good food.
00:03:35.880 One's really expensive. One's really cheap. And based on which one that we want, we choose that
00:03:41.580 vendor that we're going to buy for that is capitalism right and with our hard-earned money
00:03:46.300 we reward that vendor for their hard work and if they did not do a good job we're going to tell
00:03:52.880 people about it right so we're going to write them a review we're going to tell other people
00:03:56.940 standing in line like this is horrible right but if they do good then we're going to tell people
00:04:02.240 right so that is capitalism in a nutshell when there's competition it really excels
00:04:08.640 By the way, socialism, by the way, you can invent things and earn money in socialism as well, okay?
00:04:16.780 Because let's talk about anything.
00:04:20.300 For example, curse.
00:04:21.920 Who started curse and when it was the biggest thing in the world at any time?
00:04:28.040 It was in the world of socialism, by the way.
00:04:31.200 Where?
00:04:31.540 Where?
00:04:32.360 It was between 19th century, I guess, and 20th century.
00:04:42.680 And right now we are saying that, okay, you're going to win,
00:04:46.660 and you're going to gain money based on that,
00:04:48.900 which is capitalism in a nutshell.
00:04:51.920 But we need to put limitations for everything.
00:04:55.400 Okay, so it's okay to win.
00:04:58.240 I'm sorry, I don't want to interrupt you,
00:04:59.640 but I just want to ask a question.
00:05:01.540 Where were cars invented?
00:05:03.040 Because you're saying they were invented in the era of socialism, but where?
00:05:06.320 I can't remember well, but I could search for this.
00:05:09.280 I would ask you to search because I'm pretty sure it was the United States and Canada
00:05:13.520 that truly invented and implemented this,
00:05:15.960 and then it grew widespread across Europe in places that weren't socialist.
00:05:31.540 uh just a minute because they are calling you yeah sorry
00:05:44.500 okay so you're right i was wrong yeah so some socialists like they may have they may have
00:05:56.880 implemented the use of vehicles but they didn't invent them because what happens when someone
00:06:02.220 wants to invent something you want to incentivize them to do so right and the best incentive is to
00:06:08.380 reward them for their good work which is capitalism but i want to ask you a question because here
00:06:13.240 counting socialism as a scam because it was tried once and they failed 40 times okay right now
00:06:21.100 Finland, for example, they are applying Western Socialism, right?
00:06:24.720 Capitalist welfare.
00:06:26.240 Western Socialism, I guess.
00:06:29.420 It's capitalist welfare because their tax system is very much keyed towards the lower and middle classes, right?
00:06:36.200 So it's not wealth redistribution.
00:06:37.580 Right now you say that Socialism is a scam because they failed a lot.
00:06:42.340 And right now we are saying capitalism is better.
00:06:45.140 Meanwhile, it's failing right now everywhere.
00:06:49.420 Why is it failing?
00:06:51.100 okay so you count what happened in 2008 not as not a failure right see no that
00:06:59.620 was an economic crash and that was due to market uncertainty and I haven't done
00:07:03.720 a lot of research on 2008 but when you say that was the reason of this that's
00:07:11.980 something I actually don't know and you're inspiring me to do more research
00:07:15.280 which is good right um but see socialism has been tried 40 times and we've seen it in various
00:07:23.580 different ways but always failing i think i think we're saying sorry for interrupting you but i
00:07:31.040 think we are saying right now socialism is a scam because the largest country right now is u.s so
00:07:35.940 they are implementing their rules if for example uh any other country that did the most thing in
00:07:42.860 World War II. Maybe right now we could say that capitalism is a scam and socialism or even
00:07:50.080 communism is better because the crash that happened in the Soviet Union, it happened
00:07:56.500 mainly because not the communism or the communist part, but it happened because of the failure
00:08:03.020 of the whole system and for the dictatorships that happened there, not for the economic
00:08:10.020 view of communism.
00:08:11.940 I think my friends are leaving, so I need to go for them.
00:08:14.260 It was really great talking to you.
