how do you think the homelessness problem would be solved from a socialist/communist perspective?

    I brought up fascism because there’s absolutely no basis to saying modern Germany is “more socialist” now. It’s still a dictatorship of capital.

    Secondly, working class revolution and establishing socialism has been greatly beneficial for the working classes in the USSR, PRC, DPRK, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and even partial overthrowals such as in the Bolivarian revolution and Nicaraguan revolution have been tremendously beneficial. Socialism works, and disparity within socialism, though real, neither comes close to capitalism nor is erasing disparity the goal of socialism, but creating a society focused on satisfying the needs of everyone.

      Sorry, you mix up too much for me. What’s a low disparity in an overall poor country worth anyway.

        What did I mix up? Further, again, I agree, lowering disparity isn’t the primary concern but instead directing the economy towards improving the lives of the working classes through a working class controlled and directed state and economy. Capitalist economies are directed towards profits above all else, and Germany in particular is an imperialist country that plunders the global south.
