Socialism sounds good. It can’t happen. Sorry. If you mean social democracy (Europe) which doesn’t mean centralization of production, but aggressive redistribution even if only indrectly, then it only works as long as (a) your rate of reproduction is increasing the population over time, (b) your demographic distribution remains parallel to the scientific and technological demands of the economy necessary to support that reproduction and growth. Hence why europe must cease their redistributive policies, and why the USA cannot maintain it’s redistributive policies, particularly in retirement and healthcare in the coming decades.
So my assessment is that the young ignorant nitwittery that’s harping on socialism instead of Trumpian aggressive restructuring of geostrategy to reduce our costs, the economy to increase our employability and autarky, and decrease our costs of supporting immigration that does’t pass the demographic threshold of competitive viability is trying to commit suicide under the presumption that the pre-and postwar worlds of american and european strategic, demographic, institutional, scientific, technological, and economic advantage are either possible to continue or possible to restore – when those circumstances were windfalls of the enlightenment, scientific, industrial, and technological revolutions that have been dissipated out into the world.

You’re barking up a dying tree.
