This meme doesn't make any sense to me. Who was promoting socialism? And who is getting a taste of socialism?
Lies and misinformation are the most destructive forces in modern civilization. All human progress can be undone in one generation by people like @CourtJester. And it's happening.
Well, well, well, our resident self proclaimed "DOCTOR, PHARMACIST and PhD" who admits actually graduating high school (!!!!!) In Alabama opines again, on a subject about which he Clearly knows less than Zero....

But you enjoyed it enough to reply
Capitalism means people actually means that people have the right to serve themselves and not have to worry about the lazy and/or stupid that don’t want to put in the effort to improve themselves.
@CourtJester Obviously you have no idea what socialism really is. Must be that main stream media you are getting your bad info from.
@Archeus_Lore
I know that it’s never worked without the outlandish taxation on society to keep it struggling forward. And no socialist nation has ever been as successful as the U.S.
any idea as to why that is???
@CourtJester Yes, as a matter of fact I do. When your country is invaded, bombed, couped, it is kind of hard to keep things normal, and in fact, the USA is constantly trying to play world policeman, it has Russia and China both surrounded by military bases, and IF capitalism is so great, why do they NEED to destroy other countries, steal their resources, and overthrow other governments to try to ENFORCE their capitalist lifestyle upon people who do not want it?
In fact, the plutocrats see socialism as a MAJOR threat against their selfish, hogish, egotistical lifestyle, which demands what is best for themselves, rather than what is best for society as a whole, and as a result, they make war to destroy any possible threats to it. They are in fact, mass murdering psychopaths who will eventually be reckoned with.
The United States is more Socialistic that Russia, Russia is an oligarchy, only the rich have rights and benefits, the workers work for a pittance and make the rich richer. At least in the US we have SSI and Medicare.
Russia, then & now, was & is not Socialist. VillageIdiot, you out yourself, again, as disingenuous, ignorant of history & shallow as hell. On top of all that, you don't EVER learn from your mistakes. You keep popping up around here thinking you are a meaningful troll, & you really end up being a recurrent case of Herpes Simplex...annoying & a bit shameful to see in public.
This really wouldn't be funny even if it was true (which it's not), & just shows your nasty malicious side more than anything.
Another sad fail...
Putin’s Russia is a free market kleptocracy: The concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small corrupt cadre of oligarchs. Pretty much the exact opposite of socialism.
