Describe why a poor person in a socialist country might reject capitalism and prefer a socialist state?

Things you could think about: people might prefer having the economy directly controlled by an elected government which they could vote out (or if not elected, at least one that claims to represent their social class).

There would probably be more state support for the poor. The USSR had almost full employment until it collapsed. Much of the work done was economically useless, but it was a very stable society.

Look up socialism, capitalism, entrepreneurship, workers' councils, class struggle, on Wikipedia.

An economy directly controlled by elected representatives would be like having a trail by jury without a judge. Controlled by hysteria.

Many country's throughout the world have a mixed system where free enterprise thrives yet the system also looks after its own. Medical and social services legal aid and many other things that make life in a country better for every one. A developed country that is so hard that it does not have time for its disadvantaged can do nothing but hang its head in shame.
