easy.
I told all my children a simple story and they all “got” it almost instantly.
When they asked about the different political parties .. I said well..
it’s like if you worked all weekend washing cars for some extra cash while your siblings stayed home and played computer games. Then Monday we go to the ice cream store and I take half your money against your wishes and use it to buy them ice cream too, because, “it’s the fair thing to do”.
That’s what socialism is.
Communism is the same... except I hold a gun to your head while taking it.
Very good explanation — and simple. Even a caveman could understand it. ;)
I like your ice cream story. Nothing like putting them in a situation where they can fully visualize the issue.
