Why capitalism doesn't work:
America

The video displays communism, not socialism, which is a pretty usual mistake someone makes when they know nothing about economic politics to begin with

Communism is just a worse version of socialism. They both aim to remove social classes but under socialism you still make a wage but Workers receive what they need to produce and survive, but there’s no incentive to achieve more, leaving little motivation. It's still Marxism either way.

"Like communism, socialism’s main focus is on equality. But workers earn wages they can spend as they choose, while the government, not citizens, owns and operates the means for production. Workers receive what they need to produce and survive, but there’s no incentive to achieve more, leaving little motivation."

again, that is communism.
Feel free to read one of many versions of socialism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model
This includes a combination of free market capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level.

Social Democracy and Socialism are two different things.
I despise both but Social Democracy isn't Socialism.

Taiga is correct. The video shows communism, not socialism. Socialism was before the whole "2 cookies each" thing. The "generosity" stuff in that video is socialism, if you want to think of it that way. Socialism is just a belief of looking out for each other. Communism is the idea of equality in class. Capitalism is the idea of you take what you make. That's all in a nutshell.

The video displays communism.

Social Democracy is a version of socialisme, not two different things.

Socialism is not the opposite of capitalism. They're both left wing (or centre-left). Communism is just extreme left. You need to study anything you ever believed about politics all over again.

I sincerely hope you're trolling.

Capitalism = Free Market
Socialism = Government controls Market
Social Democracy = Free Market with welfare.[DOUBLEPOST=1499649110][/DOUBLEPOST]

Also Capitalism isn't right nor left and socialism is left wing.

I don't really give a fuck about the wiki.
We all know Wikipedia isn't 100% reliable
EVEN WIKIPEDIA KNOWS IT'S NOT RELIABLE

I know socialism and capitalism are opposites and that socialism doesn't work.
Communism
Socialism
Social Democracy

It also doesn't work.

Agree, so feel free to share a more reliable and documented source then wikipedia that confirms your opinion, because your opinion alone isnt NEAR as reliable as wikipedia.

Please take a basic government course before pretending to be an expert on this......

Shit even if they are the same thing, it's still marxism and has been proven not to work.
All marxism doesn't work, and is extremely unfair.[DOUBLEPOST=1499650474][/DOUBLEPOST]

so, your just stating personal opinions? I would rather just go argue with a flat-earth activist that actually tries to sound legit

Don't be trashing on Marx. He was one of the greatest minds in history. Gets a lot of hate just because Stalin misused one of his concepts.
