> I'd rather have Amazon delivery my groceries than live in Venezuela. This is an either-or logical fallacy, acting like the only two options are either pure capitalism or pure socialism. Many countries in the world manage to have some basics like socialized healthcare and education, yet they manage to not be hell-holes. Germany managed to enforce anti-trust legislation in their country to such an extent that Walmart left the country, yet "tens of millions of people" haven't been killed in the process. Any ideology taken to a violent extreme is bad. That includes both communism and capitalism. Market failures are real, and the increase in socialist tendencies in the US is because most people recognize that those market failures need to be corrected.
