 Everything you hate about Socialism is already happening under Capitalism. Government has way too much power. Things cost way too much to afford. And people are disincentivized to work because they’re not earning the value of their labor.

There are levels to this. The Soviet Union was several orders of magnitude worse in each of these areas.

Yes there are a lot of problems right now caused especially by monopolies and the government upholding them. However I doubt under socialism it would be any better as the government owning the means of production is an even larger and overarching monopoly.

It is inevitable that the bourgeois will be overthrown by the proletariat. The working class will overcome this capitalist machine and bring about a new world built on the Marxist-Leninist way of life.
