Socialism has a proposal that we as a society should cover the basics of life. Which most governments weakly attempt to do. You can generally find shelter, food, water, and safety. Socialism was tried in many countries and is now dead. It died a bloody death in 1989. The world is slowly shedding socialism now. Places like Venezuela and Greece are unable to provide the benefits that socialism is supposed to offer. China has the Uighurs, russia has the gulags, vietnam has their "rehab camps". Socialism requires forced labour camps. The funny thing to me, there is a way forward to make socialism work and it can even happen under capitalism. That's automation. Make the robots our slaves who do everything for us. If we built vast arrays of fully automated food producing farms that dont need people and we produce an excess, food becomes so cheap that it's given away.
