Unfamiliar with the concept of a syllogism?

1.) Concentration of power facilitates corruption.

2.) Socialism concentrates power.

3.) Therefore, socialism facilitates corruption.

We have plenty of corruption under capitalism. Under socialism, there is much more opportunity for corruption with concentration of power and cronyism, along with the necessary police enforcers.

Try this one:

1. Socialism leads to concentration of power.

2. Concentration of power leads to dictatorial leadership.

3. Therefore, Socialism leads to dictatorial leadership.

Socialism REQUIRES corruption. Nothing can be done without greasing the palm of an administrator. That can range from mowing his lawn gratis to transferring large sums to his offshore bank or killing his obnoxious neighbor.
