Socialism for Absolute Beginners

You've probably heard the word "socialism" in the media. More often than not, it's used as a pejorative. Why is that? Is socialism really that bad, or is there something else going on? In this episode, we'll take a look at socialism at the very surface level. This video is intended to be sent to friends and family who may be familiar with the term, but don't really understand what socialism is all about. I hope you find it helpful!
