Learning From Past Socialisms | ‪@YaBoiHakim‬ Reaction

Learned a lot in watching and editing this video. I feel like some of my commentary is a bit weak, but I think my commentary on these topics going forward will be a lot better. Regardless, hope y'all get something out of it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. My takeaway is that the majority of these “former socialism’s faults” are faults of being overly restrictive, authoritarian, and not socialist enough. They’re faults of shitty governance models, not of a particular economic model, though I think authoritarianism that arises from capitalism can be tied to capitalism as an economic system, not so much with socialism, in theory. Authoritarianism, lack of individual liberties, etc., sucks whether it’s under capitalism or a socialist project. They may manifest themselves differently, but the outcome is the same, i.e. non-ideal living standards. What do y'all think?
