I never understood the allure of socialism. I’m a conservative, I post on FR, and the attraction of all things socialist completely escapes me. It’s a flawed system and invites dishonesty and corruption.
Socialism is envy.
I think it’s that whole seductive vision of everybody working together for the cause. A sense of fairness for everybody; everybody has food in their bellies, a roof over their head, the environment is clean, etc. I have felt this, for I used to be a liberal.
This stuff is pure hokum, of course.
“I never understood the allure of socialism.”
This is easy. Socialism panders to the worst side of the human character — greed. Socialists promise all Santa Claus 24/7/365 and it works until other people’s money runs out. Then there’s Hell to pay.
