The ultimate goal of socialism is govt control of the means of production. Fascism is when the totalitarian govt leaves some private enterprise in place but still used the corporate means of control over the population. Both systems are leftist.

Neither has anything to do with ''human'' or ''American'' rights, only corporate rights. If we laud the system of capitalism over socialism,or for that matter any other economic system, then we must accept that corporate right to do what ever the hell they want.

oooooh! The channel got banned. I thought you did. Wait.. You said you were.
I'm confused. Why someone spamming the channel? I can think of 2 reasons the channel was banned and then so were you. If you were spamming the channel for views then yeah, that could happen on both of you and the channel.
Either I'm missing something or you're not explaining things well.
Everyone else understood it.
Perhaps if you re-read it again, you might understand it and answer your own question.
My definitions ? You seem to be one of those people who believe that socialism will work if we only would just have the right people running things.

I think I almost see your point here. However, from my understanding your definitions are a bit off.
What you describe as the ultimate goal of socialism is really the transitory period of communism needed to battle the capitalist state while socialism is allowed to grow from the bottom up. Here socialism is not government controlled production as in a communist state but rather the ultimate goal of the workers themselves who own and direct their own production and sales, marketing and distribution etc.
It's the problem here that in modern times we have never seen a truly socialist economy. That abortion we witnessed in Russia and it's step child in China never made it past that Communist step. Both failed miserably and only allowed authoritarians who had risen to power to take it all over and run it as their own corporation. Russia was a corporation run by a few as well as China today.
I understand true socialism as I described above as being a conservative dream, that is authority beyond individuals being in charge of their own lives and labor is unacceptable.

I don't understand how government funding and contracts makes this the fault of capitalism...sounds more like crony big government creating monopolies.
You make the mistake of believing the lie that socialism is citizen ownership ... it is State ownership... it is the collective not individual liberty. I remember when Obama was talking about “collective” salvation. This is just more socialist propaganda. He thought he could co-opt all the religious people with it. Please stop conflating Progressive ideals with conservative values.

''Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity''
This from wiki is in line with my understanding
Is not self management at the core of conservatism? I was in a thread with a self proclaimed conservative recently where he or she proudly claimed that it is. Is not citizen ownership of equity also a core principle of conservative values? I always thought it was.
Yet socialists keep telling us that socialism is the way out.

Those monopolies literally strangle the free market which is very much a problem and part of the reason we are seeing wealth concentrated in fewer hands.

I have already stated that socialism as I understand it is an ideal, one that we have not seen in our modern world, and one we are not likely to. I have stated that communism is what we have seen. Those have failed in their purpose and become nothing more than totalitarian dictatorships. Neither you or I want this.
So just what is the lie that is believed here. Is it the lie you think I believe in citizen ownership, or could it be the lie that what we have seen from communism is the same as socialism.
And just what is the State. Is it a foreign entity dictating to us what to do and what to think? Or as in the founding of our own nation the ideal notion of we the people governing ourselves. Just as I hold that it is the latter, that we the people should be our own government , real socialism holds that we the people should own our own means of production. And this to me sounds like something that conservative values would champion.
At the core of capiatlism's success is this little thought about conundrum. Socialism depends upon individuals working for themselves and not a boss. Working with others determining their own product, their own marketing their own distribution. Their own time for their own profit.
Capitalism depends upon people who work for a boss where it is the boss that gets the lion's share of the profit. So from this perspective, while the boss has that ''individual liberty'' the workers have given it up. In a way this system promotes lazy workers who do not believe that they can govern and execute their own labor and hence end up sweating themselves to death for the benefit of the bosses

Of course they are censoring it. It doesn't surprise me, and yet people will still argue that an agenda against the 2nd Amendment doesn't exist.

Besides Intel, Google is the top tech company that receives government subsidies, picking up more than $630 million from states like Oregon, North Carolina and a few others. What does a multi-billion dollar company that controls the majority of the world’s Internet need with more than $630 million in government subsidies, you ask? Well, you know, for things like property taxes and training reimbursements. What, do you all think that money just grows on trees?! Also, don’t even think about googling "Google government subsidies" because THEY WILL KNOW ABOUT IT.
