Whenever you cite examples of how socialism has failed miserably wherever implemented (Soviet Union, Red China, Cuba, East Germany, North Korea, Vietnam) you can count on being told that
“True socialism hasn’t been tried yet!!!”
Applied socialism doesn’t count, only theoretical `faculty lounge’ socialism matters. Human failure doesn’t invalidate the theory. And to these people, the theory is sacred.
In other words, you’re attacking somebody’s religion when you criticize socialism. Expect the rage of the faithful when you do.
My view of the essential wrongness of socialistic theory is that it attempts to deny human nature by preaching that a model of man that is unselfish, unmaterialistic, and nonindividualistic is possible in the scheme of things of the New Order of socialism.
Socialism and communism work great in an ant mound or beehive. The problem is that people are not bees or ants. Socialism must force people to do things they don’t want to do for little or no compensation...unless you are part of the elite.
Socialism is SLAVERY and always ends in misery and death for MILLIONS of people at the hands of their own fellow citizens and government.
Machines need to be maintained by people and they naturally will replace some workers. Capitalism is the natural order and it will always find the most efficient path that benefits everyone the most. Ask any former resident of a communist country and they will tell you that they would rather live jobless in a capitalist country than employed in a communist country.
