Interesting video. Never thought of them (socialists) as being selfish.

I've noticed certain things about socialist countries this video does not mention; the high taxes required to fund these socialist programs.

this has an effect on the citizens on how they spend their money, they have less money to spend. so they have to prioritize how & where they spend it.

One of these effects is the amount of charity given and that has been declining for several years the more socialist the country becomes.

the other effect which I think maybe unintended, is the population decline of many european counties.

Does it require at least a 7th grade reading comprehension level?

I don't think so. all grade levels should be able to understand it.
