If true Socialism can be implemented properly throughout the world, it is better than Capitalism

Before we get started I need to take issue with the title of our debate and what it implies. This is because is leaves Pro with some trap doors to escape out of no matter what historical evidence I point out about the failure of socialism. "If true Socialism can be implemented properly throughout the world, it is better than Capitalism" I take issue with the words "Properly" and "Throughout". The first word implies that the failures of the past have been because those other socialist experiments were not "True socialism" or were not properly "Implemented". You can defend almost anything this way. The word "Throughout" troubles me because that implies that the only way to make socialism work is if the entire world adopts it and if the world doesn't adopt it then it is the fault of all other countries that aren't socialist when socialism fails. I want to address the history of socialism as it has been applied to real governments. Contrary to what Pro has stated Socialism is not ultimately compatible with Democracy (or better put, human freedom). I'm going to go into why shortly. The Soviet Union, North Korea, Cuba, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nazi Germany and more. All of these governments have a few things in common. They all committed serious human rights violations, they all cost millions of people their lives as a direct consequence of their policies, they all failed or are failing and they all were or are socialist. Socialism does lead necessarily to oppression by the government. In the so called "Equalization process" wealth is ripped from the hands of those who earned it or inherited it from those who earned it who willed it to them. It is then handed out to everyone else that the state determines is deserving of those resources. John Locke defined fundamental liberty this way "Life, Liberty, and Property". Socialist governments deprive a large number of people of their property without befit of due process of law. How is it just to take away what one person worked hard for and earned and give it to another who didn't. It is known that a great deal of what makes and keeps people poor is self imposed. A list could be made such as, chemical dependency, teen pregnancy, fatherless homes, etc. Wealthy people are known to have habits that contribute to their wealth. They tend to be self disciplined, more moral, intact families, saving, inheritance (which helps build wealth). Socialism is imposed on people from the outside and requires a great deal of government interference in their lives. Capitalism isn't a system at all. It is a the natural result of economic interaction anywhere people gather. The problems start and have always started when powerful entities interfere with the natural economic behavior of an environment. Our recent problems in the US weren't cause by Capitalism they were caused by government interference in the banking industry. Massive government programs called Fannie May and Freddie Mack were at the heart of the problem. Before that it was the Community Reinvestment Act imposed on the banks by Bill Clinton. It forced banks to make unsafe loans on the basis that to deny the loans was discrimination. These two government debacles worked together to sabotage our banking industry and cause a disastrous crash of the housing market in 2008. Socialists have always pointed to these troubles and then declared them as evidence of the failure of capitalism but the truth is they are evidence of the failure of socialism.
