Engineering assignment on 'socialism'

Capitalism might be bad for the environment but is healthy for general living standards of humans.

Um... your standard of living can't be too high in the long run if you don't have an environment.

When did socialism lead to 100 million dead? And please don't conflate dictatorships that promise communism or socialism and give people a tyranny with socialism, because a dictatorship is the opposite of socialism.

But let's see how capitalism works when its put in place by a democratically elected government. Slavery. WWI. WWII. Huge wealth gap. Poverty.

most, if not all, social science textbooks and professors teach only the liberal view.

Well... as I said. The truth has a liberal bias. If somebody teaches the truth, and you define it a 'liberal' then all of a sudden they have a bias for teaching the truth.

The fact of the matter is, even when people take the middle road, as long as they offer any criticism of capitalism, people on the right dismiss them as having a liberal bias, even if the include the limitations of socialism (which 'most if not all do')

Liberalism promotes equality. Socialism is more equitable. Those are both things that are, in most context, considered fair, so yeah... a lot of people espouse those values because they are common sense.

Having 1% of the population control 90% of the wealth is not good for the overwhelming majority of people. That's the truth. If that's a liberal bias then... well...

The reality has a liberal bias.
