"This is because the Left ...is pure theory divorced from practice and immune to the lessons of experience."

Absolutely true. When a lib speaks about the failures of communism, socialism, or any of its other 'ism or system failures, they don't fault the belief system as being flawed or, more accurately, dangerously wrong. No, it's not the system, it's how it was implemented, with a lack of proper funding being the usual liberal culprit.

The reality is, liberalism is a forced system that in any form violates one or more of what some call the natural laws of this world. It's like making a 747 fly. You have to violate the law of gravity to get that monster off the ground and then spend a lot more energy/money to keep it flying. But, gravity won't be denied. Once the fuel/money is gone, the 747 is coming back to earth.

Liberalism is the same. You can only keep it going as long as you spend, spend, spend all the resources, but once those resources are gone, the system will crash. For example, socialized medicine is destined to fail because it takes something of great value, medical care, and makes it free. The check and balance of equitable exchange is removed, whereas capitalism is the opposite. It is in harmony with the natural laws and, as long as it is maintained, it will keep humming along and we all benefit.

Well put!!!
But I think you meant...and it PRETENDS to make it free. Like all socialized programs, there is a cost but the lie that it is free removes the “controls”. It’s like telling the pilot of the 747 that he can fly forever on that tank of gas....without giving him a gas gauge.
