Stalingrad: your pseudonym is a stark reminder that it was the Russians, at the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942, who began the defeat of Nazism.

 

This historical fact (so often forgotten, or buried because of its inconvenience by McCarthyite politicians) is a small indicator of what a socialist system can achieve. (Actually, not at all "small"....the cost in human life of the Russian sacrifice is incalculable.)

 

In the "socialist/capitalist" argument (within America), it might be more to the point to pose the question:

 

would you prefer Jeff Bezos or the Government of the United States to make a profit of one trillion dollars a year?

 

(Please don't offer the glib reply that ONLY a capitalist organization could produce that kind of profit.  Assume for a moment that a 'socialist' corporation could make that kind of money.  THEN what?  what follows as far as you are concerned?

Would you prefer that profit to go towards support of the basic welfare system that we now have in most countries.  Or would you prefer it went towards buying a new yacht for Mr Bezos??????

If the US Government was running Amazon it would take a month to get anything, when you got it it would be wrong and the Government would lose money selling it to you. 
 

I hope Bezos buys ten yachts, and rather than giving people welfare let them become ship builders and crew.
