Socialism Leads to Suffering, Starvation and Poverty
Gen Z Conservative ^ | 11/27/2020

The root of what socialism leads to is suffering, starvation, and misery. The “why” is that socialism is both morally and theoretically bankrupt; because of that, socialism leads to only bad things.

Socialism is a morally bankrupt ideology because it is all about handing control to the leaders and limiting freedom, as Friedman hints at. Individual liberty is a natural right; it was given by God to all humanity. Systems like socialism that restrain that liberty in unjust ways are morally bankrupt. As a result of its moral bankruptcy, socialism leads to misery and suffering; humans cannot naturally live in such totalitarian, control-centric, oppressive systems. We need freedom. When it is limited, we suffer and are miserable.

Additionally, socialism is an economically bankrupt ideology. As Churchill and Reagan pointed out in their quotes on socialism, it is an economically disastrous idea because it ignores the basic factors that lead to prosperity. The result of that economic bankruptcy is that socialism always fails and that socialism leads to starvation and misery. Subjects of socialist nations never have enough to eat and are miserable because of their dim economic prospects.

And none of that is just theory. “Real socialism” has been tried. It destroyed Venezuela, turning a once-prosperous nation into a nation full of starving, miserable, impoverished people. If you want to read more examples of what socialism leads to, just read “Socialism Sucks.” It will tell you everything you need to know about the reality of life under socialism.

The facts about what socialism leads to cannot be ignored. A new generation of Democrats is rising to power and they have no attachment to traditional American values. They don’t want to help you live free. they don’t want prosperity. They just want control.

That is not what they’re taught in school. Socialism is compassionate, caring, and just. Capitalism is mean, cruel, and unfair.

That’s a Feature, not a Bug.
Sick, starving people don’t stage rebellions.

“Sick, starving people don’t stage rebellions.”

I’d disagree on that one. People in America are fat, dumb, and unhappy. Their TV tells them there are any number of inequalities in this unjust country. But, mass rebellion doesn’t happen because Americans are fat and dumb. The riots were financed, officially sanctioned events. See how riots are handled once Biden takes office.

When people are uncomfortable, and feel they have little to lose, that’s when revolution happens.

The way I see it, it is when the pressure is let off that revolution happens. This is what occurred in the French Revolution and in the Russian Revolution. Things get a little better, there is a little hope, and *boom* revolution.
Best solution is not not put any pressure on, or, if you are going that way, keep the pressure on and don’t let up.

Socialism will always be popular because many people believe they can get something for nothing.

Check out the socialist country’s, the power holders live in luxury that they haven’t done anything to earn, hold it only by force that they control. No way the subject’s can retaliate as their first move is to disarm the subject’s. (you see I call them subject’s because they are no longer citizens). It’s
your choice people, are you gonna be sheep off to slaughter, or will you stand up to these terrorists and fight back.

Those giving the orders never follow them themselves.
They always make sure they have the money and keep the power.
