    They provide you housing, food, and a job.

    … thats not socialism. Dont get me wrong, im all on favour of everyone getting those things, in fact im a socialist as well. But socialism is about overthrowing relationships, not “getting free stuff”. The “free stuff” (from a capitalist perspective) is a result of overthrown relationships.

    They allow literally any race, religion, socioeconomic or ethnic group to join.

    And what happens to these people? Ask the afghans that were left behind or the victims of rampant rape culture.
    My point is that a meat grinder does meat grinder things. By not discriminating when joining, but not caring from whence the blood flows.

    It is successful at almost everything it does

    Again, Afghanistan (or more generally, citation needed). Also what does this have to do with the topic?

    They are willing to commit exteme acts of violence to protect you and each other.

    Thats like… a bad thing. You do realize this, right? Also, again, how is this relevant for the topic? Socialism isnt some kind of virtue ethics thing.

    If society creates something great (Canadian made night vision optics with thermal outlines or a better rifle design like the Austrian SIG Sauer MCX) it will be shared with by everyone equally.

    Sorry, i dont get your point.
