@shabooki_sunshine: | Socialism is Only Unsuccessful by Capitalist Metrics | Ever been hit with “Name one successful socialist country” as a debate-ender? This question is built on a paradox—because it demands socialist success be proven by capitalist standards. In this video, we break down why leftists and rightists use completely different economic metrics, and why that matters. From GDP and stock markets to healthcare and education access, the definition of "success" depends on who you're measuring it for. We also highlight examples like Cuba, Vietnam, and Kerala, India—places that perform well by well-being and equality-focused standards. This isn’t just economics—it’s about values. If you're tired of rigged comparisons, this one's for you. 🎯 #SocialistPerspective #EconomicJustice #LeftistTikTok #PoliticalEducation #SocialistCountries #CapitalismVsSocialism #WealthInequality #LateStageCapitalism #IncomeEquality #AntiCapitalism #SystemicChange #SocialistSuccess #ReframeTheNarrative #SocialWellbeing #MarxTok #LeftistExplained #CriticalThinking #EconomicMythBusting #RedTok #EducateDontHate

what if i consider authoritarianism an evil that supercedes any kind of socialist metrics? what if i value the right to self determination over, for example, equal wealth distribution? or equal power distribution, even though that is incompatible with the idea if a state in the first place.

And often times socialist and communist countries weren't allowed to develop because of the red scare and domino theory. Capitalist countries (especially the US) would try to stop communist politicians from growing, with the CIA even overthrowing smaller governments.

I’m not so sure about Cuba my guy, I’m a socialist through and through but by every metric Cubans are impoverished, the leaders are super corrupt on top of US sanctions. Most people are food insecure.

My company just had “record breaking profits” for Q1. Looks great on paper until you realize it’s just because managers are salary so they’ve been under staffing stores and working management to death

I’ll make this really simple put 10 people on a production line and set the line at 300 parts per minute then pull five people off and ask the remaining to do the work of the other five. There are no socialist and no communist on a production line. The world is one big production line.

There have been government that have created better conditions for laborers than the governments before them, but nothing resembling socialism. There are no successful large socialist societies by capitalsist or socialist standards, bar a few niche examples nobody who has this conversation ever considerers, whatever side of it they’re on. As a socialist, this fact hardly bothers me. Democracy as an idea has been around for more than 2,500 years, and has never been successful on a large scale, but people still keep trying it because it’s such a good idea. Socialism as an idea hasn’t even been around for a tenth of that time, so I’m not discouraged just because we haven’t nailed the execution of it yet.

I like this but it is an over played hand. You can’t do A because you’re looking at B wrong is a pretty common argument. This emerging opinion is interesting because it only exists due to the success of capitalism in the modern age. The amount of people that conflate capitalism with the corporatism is a great example of choosing what you want reality to be not what it is

Most countries in Western Europe and Scandinavia are successful democratic socialist systems. Compare people’s happiness there to the US

I always say all real, aes projects were successful because they worked for hundreds of millions of people and they still do, despite imperialist aggression.
