Unify Action - She Put Him Up To This!!

00:00:00.000 want to do you want to be on camera are you okay with that okay i had just finished one debate with 0.98

00:00:05.360 a different individual and then these two showed up and the girl was pushing the guy forcing him

00:00:10.560 towards me and saying hey hey can you help my friend here he's a socialist can you talk to him

00:00:14.960 i don't like socialism basically saying that she wanted me to change her friend's mind so i just

00:00:19.040 naturally assumed that the friend was socialist this is the conversation that resulted from that

00:00:24.080 um you guys can let me know if you think that he is socialist all right so um i like this to be like

00:00:31.120 a good open-ended conversation so why don't you tell me why you like socialism first and then i'll

00:00:36.960 try and make the case for capitalism i actually don't know too much about socialism that's about

00:00:43.680 it okay all right so but you would say that you prefer it am i correct in assuming that

00:00:50.540 I guess I don't really have any specific, I don't like really lean into any specific category.

00:00:58.280 I just like, I just say I'm neutral to most.

00:01:01.660 Okay.

00:01:02.280 All right.

00:01:02.740 So I would say like my claim is socialism is a scam.

00:01:06.280 And I truly believe that.

00:01:07.480 So we've seen socialism tried like 40 times all across the world.

00:01:10.600 And every time it's failed, every time it's had to backpedal.

00:01:13.100 that's from like like moderate cases like Sweden and Denmark to even like big cases like Russia and

00:01:19.620 Venezuela they're all they're failing economies or failing populations and it has not socialism

00:01:25.520 has failed to fulfill on its promise its promise was that we would have equality for everyone and

00:01:32.460 everyone everyone would share all resources equally so socialism basically is public ownership

00:01:36.900 of private property yeah but what happens when you take away private property rights

00:01:43.280 you no longer have the incentive for people to be efficient and to actually like incentive is

00:01:49.000 basically the possibility of a reward and there's risk involved so like it's like investment if

00:01:54.640 so with socialism you don't have that incentive to go out there and create wealth right

00:02:00.900 so they believe socialists and you probably believe this that like i don't want to assume

00:02:07.300 anything but like you would probably agree that socialism is the redistribution of wealth

00:02:12.480 right so no rich no poor yeah so in in socialism they try and do that but what happens is the rich

00:02:21.780 they are they are the ones that create our jobs right so if we we think that they're oppressing

00:02:30.460 us because oh they're charging wage but they're like they're um they're keeping all this profit

00:02:36.500 right so we see see them oppressing us and so we just had to take away their money but that money

00:02:43.520 is actually invested in business that money is actually at work and creating wealth and creating

00:02:48.480 jobs so in every socialist country it always happens that an unemployment skyrockets because

00:02:54.420 we're no longer creating jobs and that's actually one of the reasons that sweden went into like this

00:02:59.980 huge financial crash in the 90s because they tried 20 years of high taxes on the wealthy and

00:03:04.560 inheritance and all the rest and they drove the rich from their country and it was applauded as

00:03:10.620 this great achievement that oh my goodness we've equalized the income gap and like the rich are

00:03:16.320 leaving and well like they didn't say that they just said we're equalizing the income gap and

00:03:20.340 no rich no poor everyone's everyone has enough but actually during that period for 20 years they

00:03:25.960 didn't add a single net job to their economy in the private sector it was all growth in the public

00:03:31.680 sector and and at the end it just all collapsed and they had like inflation to like five thousand

00:03:38.080 or interest rates like five thousand percent or something for a couple days so it was in the same

00:03:42.920 crash but that's what happens with socialism is that you drive the rich out of your country

00:03:48.460 and in a capitalist society what the rich do is they create wealth and jobs and the middle and

00:03:54.940 lower class we rely on them for those jobs so and so capitalism a lot of people misunderstand that

00:04:01.720 too um but capitalism basically is just the freedom of choice so i when people talk about

00:04:11.120 free markets i'm for free markets a market is just people making choices about what they want

00:04:16.660 to buy so a free market yeah um like yeah like i guess people are always acting in their own

00:04:24.100 best interest. Yes. So a free market is basically free people making their own choices. So capitalism

00:04:30.040 is just the freedom of choice. So, and a lot of people say that, okay, capitalism is actually

00:04:36.460 inherently oppression or something like that. The rich are getting profit. But let's just

00:04:41.460 do like an example. So say you went, you bought your lunch. Who is profiting there? Would

00:04:47.880 you take a guess i guess i'd say the the school i guess if i'm buying lunch here at mcmaster

00:04:54.940 okay but you got lunch so it's a win-win scenario for both of you right so there's not capitalism

00:05:05.100 is not a zero-sum game you win and the person you're buying from wins because then they continue

00:05:10.800 to create that service but if you take away profits if you take away the incentive to produce

00:05:16.120 a good service then are they going to produce a good service right so yeah at least from what

00:05:24.760 i'm picking up from like what you're saying it's like if you don't like incentivize any sort of

00:05:30.620 like creativity or like you know what capitalism does and instead you're doing something like

00:05:36.200 socialism where everyone has like same base pay and like same wages then there's no incentive to

00:05:40.980 do like anything mind-blowing or like creates revolutionary technology yeah

00:05:47.940 everyone just like they're just stuck here saying I could just go by the lowest

00:05:52.360 quote like standard like I'll just get passed right I'll still get paid yeah so

00:05:56.140 and I've had debates with quite a few socialists and one of them was that oh

00:06:00.480 we shouldn't need to pay for our necessities or something like that and

00:06:04.680 that claim was that we shouldn't have money and everyone should be able to

00:06:07.340 like get what they need but when everyone has what they need they no longer have the incentive to work

00:06:13.240 right right and work is what drives an economy it's what drives people and creates wealth so if

00:06:19.540 no one is going to create wealth like your economy is going to collapse and that's what tends to

00:06:24.160 happen with socialist countries so like that's the pitch that's why i think socialism is a scam

00:06:29.120 um but i'll just do you have any thoughts on it it's definitely an interesting take um i think

00:06:35.360 I have, like, heard some of these things, like, I guess, from my friends over a while ago, and, like, just thinking about it.

00:06:41.980 I think, generally, I do agree with that.
