A thread on what socialism means: 
It means generalized misery. It means a drab and joyless society. It means bread lines and packed smelly trains that don’t run on time. It means goodbye vacations. It means cold homes and schools. It means homework at candle light.
It means anything you do, from buying a shoelace to paying your water bill has to go through a state employed bureaucrat that treats you like garbage and acts like a tyrant.
It means the most despicable activist leeches make it to the top and there’s no private alternative .

It means riding the packed filthy, smelly bus to school, hanging off the door and dreaming of... cheese.

It means being sent from school or from the ‘free’ college to the state farms and do unpaid labor in filthy unsanitary conditions, get hepatitis then share the hospital bed with another patient.
It means having to pay the equivalent of more than two years of median income for a crappy car and then wait 5-7 years to actually get it (in a random color).
It means dirty hospitals with plenty of cockroaches but barely any medicine. It means rationed fuel and sugar. It means roads with potholes and running water 2h/day (hot every other day).
