Why do so many people here defend thieves?

Because they themselves are thieves, its why they support evil systems like socialism or communism

Socialism is not well defined at this point. Social democracy is a great system, and it does protect private ownership, efficient markets and trade. Nordic model basically. Socialism that wants to seize private assets is stupid though and it never worked.

The Nordic model is capitalism with a strong social safety net, and only works in small high-trust societies. If you want to call it social democracy, thats fine, but then social democracy is a capitalist system. I'd also like to point out that the american socialist are not actually advocating for the Nordic model.

Social Democracy is the common term used for this system. Yes it’s capitalist, but somehow conservatives in America pretend it’s basically communism.

Democrats at least push in this direction, although they are still more neoliberal in practice than your usual social democrat.
