Socialism Sucks #1

Socialism Sucks is my new weekly post. I will aim for each post to be short and an easy read. Let me know of more reasons why socialism sucks! I know that there will be lots to write about...

Selfishness

Socialism has forever been a fight against the "greedy capitalist", and the fight for equality and well-being for all (although we know how that really turns out). But socialism is, and quite obviously so, the most greedy and selfish ideology of all, and its not hard to see why.

The simple mindset that is manifested in socialists can be easily explained as this:

"I want, I want, give me, give me"

Socialists are in a continuous struggle to take from people who have things. In present time, it is the state from which they demand from.

• Free healthcare
• Welfare
• Higher tax rates for the rich or the high income earner (so that the government can afford more of the above)

During the Russian revolution, socialists demanded things from the wealthy. These people included business owners, shareholders in major industries, and the government, however less so as it was not as prominent at the time.

"I have never understood why it is 'greed' to want to keep the money that you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money." - Thomas Sowell</blockquote

The socialist mindset creates people who never look to themselves in order to acquire wealth, but instead look to others. Others who they can steal from. Today, the government is heavily socialized, its obvious. Government entitles citizens to certain things, and eventually these entitlements are considered "rights", and many leftist politicians today use this as a major driving point for their agenda.

"I believe healthcare is a RIGHT, not a Privilege." - Bernie Sanders

In summary, socialism is greedy because it teaches people to demand more, rather than to share more. Capitalism teaches one to work hard, be independent, take care of oneself, as well as others, and that they should earn what they receive. Socialists are always looking at where they can spend, but they are never looking at where they can earn, and their is no spending without earning. This is the ultimate paradox in their ideology and is the reason why all socialist states eventually collapse.
