Find them 40 hours of work, even if it’s picking cotton by hand. Pay them the minimum wage and THEN come to me with your issues. At least they’ll be too tired to kill each other or bang someone else’s wife.

What is really says: Socialism: Because Government Matters More Than People.
Socialism: Because People and Profits Matter More Than government
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil . . . - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

Once recognize that socialists say “society” when they mean nothing other than Government, and it becomes clear:
”Social”ism is actually nothing other than governmentism.
That is, tyranny.
