Under socialism, there is only one employer, ie,Whether you see it like that or not, that is basically what people do, even in socialism people would sell their labour. In capitalism, if there is a high supply of workers you can be pretty sure that the condition by which you can sell yourself is weakened, which is partly why there are labour unions etc. Which again could be argued is a socialist concept, rather than just letting the "free market/capitalists" decide.
Starting your own company would still be possible, obviously, work slightly differently, but possible.

Reality is facing what socialism is in the realI don't think socialism is the "final solution" I think what is much more important is what the aim of the system is. If freedom and equality for all people are important, then clearly capitalism has failed.

This to me at least is absurd and it or something similar probably holds true in many countries. I don't think socialism can or even should make everyone completely equal, but simply reduce the gap and focus on solidarity rather than egoism.
What do you mean by "never deal with reality"? again socialism was "invented" as a response to the failure of capitalism in an attempt to create more equal societies. It would be like saying that capitalism never dealt with reality when it sought to replace/fix feudalism. For some reason, people have been convinced that capitalism is the end of the line and no other system can improve on it, I find that odd.
But having such a little % of people owning so much wealth should be a clear indication that something is clearly not working in a world where people are starving and living in poverty.
Because it wasn't socialism. At the end of the video, he gives an example of Chili and how it went with them when they went down that path, it was greatly improving the lives of the Chilean people until the US decided to interfere and the democratically elected president had to commit suicide. Was it perfect? probably not, but at least it was better for a lot of people in Chili. But it is from 18.20 in the video that you can hear about that.
world, not the reasons it was invented.
Complaining about capitalism just isn't an

Why not compare the best results under
capitalism with the best results under socialism?
