I am going to type up questions asked by family and people i know on socialism and show my answers.

q1. If Britain is so Bad why do immigrants from all over the world come here.
A1. They come here because Britain and other imperialist nations plunder third world nations for natural resources, crops and cheap labour.

q2. If capitalist Briitain is so evil why do we have free healthcare, benefits and free education.
A2. We in Britain live in an imperialist nation, and to keep its own working class from rising up, the British Bourgesie have given the workers an ammount of comfort and care in order for us to support them and ignore our position as exploited and to ignore the plight of the third world.

q3. Why do you say the Afghan war is illegal.
a3. We invaded Afghanistan so we could help the USA build a pipeline through Afghanistan, so we couldlater invade Iraq, for global hegemony and to spy on nations surrounding the middle east, also the wars make the weapons companies billions each year.

I can't really think of anything to say to this, but it seems you've hit the nail on the head, or you're at least looking in the right direction.

First off, Great Britain isn't bad at all, it's actually one of the most affluent nations in the world. Why wouldn't people want to emigrate there?


q2. If capitalist Briitain is so evil why do we have free healthcare, benefits and free education.
A2. We in Britain live in an imperialist nation, and to keep its own working class from rising up, the British Bourgesie have given the workers an ammount of comfort and care in order for us to support them and ignore our position as exploited and to ignore the plight of the third world
First off, Britain isn't 'evil' and it does no one any good to cast things in terms of good and evil. Secondly, the reason Britain has things like free healthcare, benefits, and free education is because they had one of the world's strongest labour movements that was able to push for these benefits. But without a strong labour movement, these benefits are going to get rolled back, which is already happening.


q3. Why do you say the Afghan war is illegal.
a3. We invaded Afghanistan so we could help the USA build a pipeline through Afghanistan, so we couldlater invade Iraq, for global hegemony and to spy on nations surrounding the middle east, also the wars make the weapons companies billions each year.
Marxists could care less whether or not the war was illegal, and that should not be the condition upon which we choose to support it or denounce it.
