Socialism is like marijuana: it cures everything and has absolutely no side effects. None. Anyone who says otherwise (about socialism or marijuana) is brainwashed and/or evil.
Capitalism has drawbacks. Some people take advantage of others, some people face tough situations, and sometimes the entire economy is shitty. Go to The Huffington Post, digg, or reddit, and plenty of people will let you know that capitalism isn't perfect.
They'll also let you know that socialism is perfect. It has no negative effects whatsoever. None.
You can't compare the pluses and minuses of socialism to the pluses and minuses of capitalism. Socialism doesn't have any minuses. Tens of millions of people on the internet have realized that. They point out the flaws of American capitalism, they point out the benefits of socialism, and they never even suggest that socialism might have some flaws, too. It doesn't.
In order to solve all of the world's problems, all we need to do is convert to socialism. And eliminate religion. And subsidize marijuana. And get rid of FOX News. And imprison Glenn Beck. And George W. Bush. And Sarah Palin. And put all other conservatives on reservations.
