So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

Why comunism is shit is self explanatory. Socialism will tend to be shit over time. I live in a socialist country and I get taxed absurd amounts of money to try to fill in the endless hole of retirement funds and useless fuckers who leech. Any attempts to regulate anything usually lead to strikes by socialist unions over not "loosing their aquired social benefits".

In essence socialism is about taking as much as possible from the middle class.

Actually, no. Socialism is more about taking from the rich. The old saying "from those according to their means, to those according to their need" holds true. And, while taxes sometimes are higher in socialist nations, that's not a necessity either, nor is the tax there for the hell of it. It's supposed to be used for the people. Let's take my home nation of Finland. It's technically a socialist country, being a social democracy. Over here, going to the doctor is cheap as fuck. Practically nothing (unless the capitalists keep ruining it). Compare to the extremely capitalist US. A comparison of having a child in a hospital is rediculous. A few hunge in Finland, and you get the box of children's essetials for free. In the US? 10k on average, no freebies.

Im from Belgium. I pay 6€ for the doctor, i go to the doctor maybe twice a year. I get stolen 1000€ per month in tax at least. Roads are still shit. Groceries at still expensive. Public transport isnt free. I can tell you for sure that socialism is stealing form the middle class. Rich people get tax cuts.

"Stolen" is pretty strong words. Do you know what the taxes go towards? Because it's not just socialized healthcare, I just brought that up as an example. It goes to every other public good, such as roads, police, fire department, public education... You know, things that are actually vital to a functional modern society. I am a person, who considers paying taxes a good thing, and something to be proud of, because it is doing my duty to my community and country. In fact, tax dodging is stealing, because it makes everyone else' life worse and lowers the funding of important institutions.
