Socialism in the past had the same issues we are seeing with capitalism. You know what the problem is? The 1% families stealing from the rest of us. Socialism might in theory make sure people are in heated homes with clean water, but it made sure even the hardest workers had 0 chance of getting more than a heated cement room with clean water, only knowing someone in the higher ranks ever allowed you to move forward. Same with the c floor always hiring friends and family instead of the dude from the 3rd floor that worked 2 jobs to get a PhD in business, and has all of the requirements in spades... The issue isn't the social structure, unless you want a social structure that doesn't allow for 1% families to exist... And if that's what you want, it ain't socialism, it ain't capitalism, it ain't Maoism, or Catholicism, every system we currently have allows and encourages a small group of elites to hoard the resources and lord it over the rest of us that are barely making ends meet. Don't change the system. Eat the 1%. Then change the system so their poison can't affect the new system.
From what example are you making those statements?
The ussr, china… has always ever been state capitalist! China isn’t even claiming to be communist anymore! Its goal is to vaguely work for socialism now
Thats the problem with so many people who tout communism or socialism as the ultimate solution to capitalism. They tend to just conveniently ignore greed, corruption and bad actors like if it werent for greed, corruption and bad actors capitalism wouldnt be SO much better than it is now.
There will always be some guy somewhere who figures out a graft or hustle to get more than they are entitled to.
