can i actually proove this ? to a certainty ? no way ..and i dont think i have to but i do have to provide some sort of proof that socialism is growing  and powerful and has an army and economy and a compelling economic model and i do think i can do that.. ladies and gentleman i present the peoples republic of china https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJCDDmBPdHs&t=1347s china is big it has nukes and it is expanding in 100 years they will dominate the world economy we are dying they are growing  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WKLskz1w9k&t=152s and these videos are my proof watch them and see i am right 

and you say that is a dictatorship! okay fair enough but there will be room for economies like this also working well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaELQS5kTso democracy will survie under socialist policy


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_lnKjTqwww&t=9s lots of proof social democracy is thriving 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfANf1I4sUQ&t=62s okay watch all these videos they show leftist economies doing very well and expanding and making a good example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFSmaztcP4c
this good example is proof that they will expand and take over
the founders believed tha the usa should lead by example and there are many positive socialist economic models from socialist market economy to social democracy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKGwGAHznFQ&t=51s if you want more proof inequality is an issue that is super critical all over the world
as is environmental crisis  , and the only solution to the se problems is socialism because of the amount of government regulation and production restriction needed
there lots  of logic and proof for you to sift through

It's not inevitable, it's just remotely plausible. Nothing my opponent has shown displays the inevitability of Socialism in USA, only that he thinks it's possible and that the implemention could possibly, improbably, occur.
