"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery..."

It truly is about envy, but not so much about ignorance because many of socialist creed know, but refuse to believe because of their Utopian feelings. That is why I have been suggesting it is time we discuss ideologies and which rise all boats and build wealth and which fail.

Another quote from England that explained the failing of socialism, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Signed Margaret Thatcher.

"A schoolchild could understand all of that."

That is wherein the problem lies. A 5 year old can understand the self-benefit of a lemonade stand. Socialists see such a stand as a benefit for all, even though the all didn't mix the lemonade, write the sign, set up the booth, and sit there for hours on the curb.

To repeat what I've always said about socialists/communists, they just can't look beyond their bleeding hearts to realize what actually works in economics and increases the benefit of all. They can't grasp the idea of the kid earning money and spending his profits on candy, ice cream, bicycle products, paper airplanes, etc., which are made from different enterprises and provide jobs and taxes. I know, because I had a paper route in my early teens and bought my own 10speed Schwin and surfboard from my hard work.

Like I've said repeatedly, free-enterprise vs socialism is something we should be talking about on a daily basis. The snowflakes in college don't get it because they are indoctrinated by their teachers. It's time we discuss these ideologies in plain terms.

Amazing how we’re witnessing Atlas Shrugged in action in real life in the present day. Yet, still there are people who insist that socialism works.
