Donald Trump makes joke about socialism at UN General Assembly, is met with awkward s

[petros]

The word 'socialism' has been so overworked that its lost all meaning. Trump should stick to his campaign platform of economic nationalism, which demands dirigiste, populist, protectionist and progressive policies. The Reaganite NeoCons of the Republican Establishment would call that 'socialism'. Best not to toss around labels when they mean something different to everyone who hears them.

There are several socialist philosophies and none of them work.

There are several socialist philosophies and none of them work.

Same with Global Free Market Capitalism.. which is collapsing before our eyes.

You may be right. However, many of them work better than capitalism. I suggest you research mixed economies before making such sweeping statements.
