Every Critique of Socialism Can Be Used Against Capitalism

Debunking some common misconceptions about both Socialism and Capitalism. 

I often hear sentiments like "Socialism is when no iPhone" or "Socialism is when no house", so I decided to go over some common inaccurate accusations about socialism, debunk them and see if they apply to capitalism. 

Other topics touched upon in this video include the democratic confederalism of Rojava, the anti-democratic nature of American Super PACs, Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward" & "Four Pests" campaigns, Lysenkoism, Thomas Sankara's Burkina Faso, Mondragon's innovative business model, Elon Musk's hypocrisy and more. - Overzealots
