If he has valid arguments to bring, a debate is welcome. Snarky comments aren't the way to go though, Dice.
Socialism as it is written is a very much a potent system (in many ways).
However, states in the past (and in present) that are/were socialist carried it out in their own manner and put their own tint on the ideology.
I'm not against any ideology, it's all about the people presenting it; any ideology can be made beneficial to a society and form a fully functional and happy country when executed correctly.
