Yeah but their answer to that is the same as their answer for the failure of Socialism universally: It wasn't done right.
I’m preparing you for their next move.
“Modern computer technology, including centralized supply chain systems and AI, will FINALLY allow us to centrally manage an economy successfully.”
Watch for it.
That is correct, but it misses the one thing government is essential for. Enforcing the rule of law, which includes property rights.
If you do not have a sufficiently powerful government doing that, you end up with a bunch of warring tribes. Sometime you end up with a bunch of warring tribes and a central government, as in Zimbabwe, or as appears to be developing, South Africa.
You need a government to operate a justice system, property rights, and a way to peacefully adjudicate disputes. That is what the framers set up.
Which is the prime reason for requiring ALL political donations to be ANONYMOUS. You can't sell influence if you don't know who is buying. Americans should be permitted to donate any amount they please to any candidate or party they choose; that is FREEDOM. But purchasing an outcome with a donation is BRIBERY, a CRIME. Both parties should be punished for their CRIMINAL behavior.
One of the best summaries I have ever seen in a few words!
No further calls, we have a winner!
Its cute he believes socialists believe their govt system will work.
They know socialism doesnt work. they know it was never designed to bring about full communism. The inner party leaders who run it, know this.
There’s a reason socialists can easily recruit the sons and daughters of parents with money but NOT real people in working classes...
And the reason is ugly.
Speaks very poorly of so called ‘elites’....
The premise of this article is incorrect from the very start.
You can’t argue effectiveness or ineffectiveness when it comes to socialism. No one backing socialism is the least bit concerned about whether it works as a governing system. And people will not vote for socialism because they think their lives will be better because of it.
Socialism is implemented by its adherents in order to create a form of dictatorship wherein they will be part of the elite. A permanent system with them at or never-enough the top.
People - the voters - will vote for socialism as a means of sticking it to someone they think is better off than they are for whatever reason...stick it to the white man and trample him down, let him get the bad end of the stick like I’ve had all my life...stick it to the rich, the corporations, the religious, the man, the straight people - whoever and whatever you hate in life. It’s just a new word put on the old idea of tribalism. Us vs. Them, the perceived Have Nots vs. The Haves, over-turning the culture. It’s all just emotion.
So arguing the logic of socialism’s built-in failure is besides the point. It’s really all about returning to a form of dictatorship by using an underclass to overturn a culture and exact revenge on those perceived as successful in the prior system. It’s all emotion and no thought outside of conquest.
I only need 1 reason:
Socialist politicians are liars and scammers - socialism is a lie they tell in order to get you to allow them to steal from you.. and the masses cheer!
#5 is Actually #1, and the real reason there will never be a government controlled utopia on earth.
Socialists don’t care if their form of government works. They just want control.
Yes to all, but #5 is #1.
