Your friend is obviously a simpleton (economically), so I recommend "The Incredible Bread Machine." I hope it is still in print. Other than that, investigate Hayek and von Mises. Sorry for no URL, but the refutations are too long, detailed, and complex for treatment on a web page.

I've seen some proof. I beleive it's called "The world". Some like to refer to it as "modern civilization".

Go to the History Channel online and do a search on Genocide, Nazism, Communism, and Socialism. If history isn't repleat with examples of their heinous crimes, I'd suggest the DSA homepage, the Socialist Internationale, the Black Panthers, Aztlan online, the Shining Path(what a bunch of winners), current news from Hugo Chavez's Venezuela, NARAL, or any Luddite organization. Your 'friend' is an idiot.

The Cato Institute has several papers on why socialism doesn't work in various aspects of government.
The big reason, from my vantage point, is that socialism removes profit motive. People will simply not work if they will get money/goods regardless.

How about choosing your friends more carefully?

Have them name a SUCCESSFUL socialistic country that has lasted.....and that hasn't destroyed its people, and that isn't currently re-thinking its ways (i.e. Sweden).

He's got you there. Socialism has worked very well for the rulers who've used it.
Stalin - Soviet Socialism
Hitler - National Socialism
Mao Tse Tung - Marxist Socialism
There's no better way to control the masses than with fear. Today it's being used to spread social and economic injustice to the masses under the guise of a paradise on earth. You know, take what the other guy has and you'll be happy. The gulf between rich(ruling elite) and poor(the rest) only grows under Socialism. Check history for more detailed analysis.

Tell him/her to read Animal Farm by George Orwell. Some animals are more equal than others.

I'm guessing your name comes from the Mobile Suit Gundam anime saga. Great series. :) I especially like the recent 08th MS Team mini series.
