> What’s wrong with socialism?
I does not work. I repeat, It does not work.
Every place socialism has been tried, it has failed miserably causing great human suffering for those under its rule.
It does not work because it always degenerates to a condition where those who can’t or won’t work are supported by those who do work. In the process, those who will and do work are limited by lack of resources to adequately get the job done. The result is that all suffer.
“The result is that all suffer.”
There is no better definition than that.
No, you misunderstand the objective. The goal of socialism is to destroy objects of envy, to re-level the playing field. For that socialism works every time.
The ultimate goal for communism is a world in which no one feels envy for anyone else. For this to work every country must be under centralized communist rule.
An envy-free world though is a hollow satanic goal that cannot be achieved. The first problem is that envy is a choice, a cardinal sin committed under free will. Second, envy is inspired from many sources, not just wealth disparity. People not only have different paychecks, they also have different looks, personalities, abilities, talents, families, friends, health, intelligence. Leftists will never reach their state of nirvana, but they will succeed in destroying America.
We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us.
