Socialism won't save you from Corrupt Governments. ( RB7: Second Thought )

Breadtube likes to blame Capitalism for Government Corruption and then propose Socialism as the solution. The facts show exactly the opposite to be true. It is also part of a common 3 part grift that socialists pull:

1. Identify problem.
2. Blame Capitalism.
3. Promote Socialism.

This is always a grift, and always comes with either a lack of evidence, highly skewed "facts", or just flat out poor rationality. To show this, I bring you the 7th episode of my refuting Breadtube series focused on Second Thought, who puts out this type of argument on a regular basis. Why he is wrong on this also shows why the only viable solution to a corrupt State is to take power away from the State.

This episode of Refuting Breadtube is partially a collab with @LiquidZulu
