TLDR
"All Venezuela demonstrates is that if you leave implementation to the very worst, most anti-intellectual, callous, authoritarian and criminal people in society, socialism can have genuinely horrendous consequences. But couldn’t the same be said of every ideology?"

More like economist talking points.LOL republican talking points, the middle class is the heart of socialism. Cuba is doing fine even with a criminal embargo. Venezuela is the product of Maduro bad lidership , and USA cruel financial sanctions.
Half don't even pay federal income tax. No shit they are for someone else paying for their stuff. You could get that much support for gov't issued ponies for everyone. 99% are in favor of you handing out your entire net worth to strangers on the sidewalk. What's the number of support from people who would actually have to pay for it while having their own coverage decay?Is social security a capitalist idea? Universal Healthcare is capitalist too? Well about 60% of Americans are for single payer.
Numbers don't lie. Socialism is already part of US society, now it's time for you to accept that.
it ain't about being poor
If you wanna argue please use factual stats, global poverty is a big issue in 3rd world countries, that USA capitalism utilizes to get cheap labor. This is a quick reply but if you want I can show you a graph of wages and poverty between the 60s and the technology boom in the 90s. How much is the average afro American income? how much of a proud American are you, if you don't agree your taxes should go to help your fellow citizens.Half don't even pay federal income tax.

Global poverty cut in half over the last 35 years because of capitalism. Which places have been lifted out of poverty because of socialism? This should be good.
I don't need to be owned by the banks, my income comes clean. If I needed money a socialist network of social security would help me, until I get my feet up. Mind you it's not a dream. But I would be very hard to fall in debt.I don't believe you.
Whats that credit score 570.......600?

In 1981 some 42% of the world’s population were extremely poor, according to the World Bank. They were not just poorer than a large majority of their compatriots, as many rich countries define poverty among their own citizens today, but absolutely destitute. At best, they had barely enough money to eat and pay for necessities like clothes. At worst, they starved.
Since then the number of people in absolute poverty has fallen by about 1bn and the number of non-poor people has gone up by roughly 4bn. By 2013, the most recent year for which reliable data exist, just 10.7% of the world’s population was poor (the modern yardstick for destitution is that a person consumes less than $1.90 a day at 2011 purchasing-power parity). Poverty has almost certainly retreated further since 2013: the World Bank’s finger-in-the-wind estimate for 2016 is 9.1%. Homi Kharas of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, calculates that someone escapes extreme poverty every 1.2 seconds.
