Socialism does not, and never has, make good on the promises they make, because of a basic “flaw” in human nature. In a one-on-one match with a competitor, there is a zero-sum game, that you only get what you can take away from your competition. There is no building of more resources, no accounting of the best use of available resources, and definitely no allocation of those resources based on merit. Eventually, in this zero-sum game, the supply of “other people’s money” runs out, and something called entropy sets in, cannibalizing the system and eating all the seed corn. People are left with fighting over scraps.
