Capitalism or socialism or anything else is irrelevant when most people are dumb, easy to manipulate and ready to harm others. There will always be someone willing to be a leader of these people, harming others to gain something.

"I am 14 and this is deep" material here. No analysis of anything, no thoughts, just an edgy nothingburger.

What about Socialism is "irrelevant" if most people are "dumb?"

That they still fall for the same manipulation as anyone else.

How is the answer no? Socialism killed just as many innocence people as Nazis did. Capitalism likely more than both, but spread out over time and the world instead of localized events. They are thinking they somehow do the right thing while begin monsters, because that is how they were manipulated. Some their whole life without ever knowing any different. The same way Russians think they need to destroy Ukraine, Trump voters, North Koreans that Americans are baby eating monsters only stopped by their god-leaders good haircut, Hamas that killing Israeli civilians is great, etc.

No. Read Blackshirts and Reds. Socialism doubled life expectancied in Russia and China, it saved millions of lives.

Fascism is Capitalism in decay.

Your fanfiction isn't reality.

You do realize that you are more propagandized, right?
