Socialism ignores human nature and is therefore fatally flawed. It kills incentives to work and produce. Why should a person work hard to become a doctor when he won’t be paid any more than a janitor? Why maintain any kind of property if you can’t own it? How can you make the correct decisions if arrogance and the party line blind you? The Soviets tried to compete with us, and we spent them under the table.

Marxism is a denial of reality that serves as the propaganda and supporting myth for a single-party police state dictatorship, brutally ruled by force and the threat of force. As the old joke goes, it definitely works, but not indefinitely.
