WHY SOCIALISM IS IMPOSSIBLE

THEY WANT THEIR CRYBABY LIBERAL BELIEFS. TOO BAD THEY ARE IMPOSSIBLE.

Many people think that Socialism would be wonderful. The problem is that Socialism rarely achieves its goals. Here are some questions and answers to help you understand this:

• What is Socialism really?

  Government owns everything and everyone is paid equally.

• Why do people like the idea of Socialism so much?

  They think they will gain the following advantages:

  • Everyone will be equal.
  • People won't have to work as much.
  • Government will pay for almost everything.
  • Government-run factories are more efficient.
  • Government will divide everything equally.
  • No more rich people.
  • No more poor people.
  • Government can create any wealth needed.
• Why can't Socialism do these things?

  The economy does not work the way they think it will:

  • Everyone except the leaders will be equal.
  • People would have to work more because the incentive to work is gone.
  • Government can't pay for even a tenth of everything. It must tax any wealth it gets from the people.
  • Government-run factories make shoddy products because there is no incentive to work.
  • Government could take away what you have to give it to someone else.
  • Government is already richer than any person, and would become richer.
  • Everyone will be equally poor.
  • Government has no power to create wealth. Only work can do that.
• Why can't government spend as much as it wants to?

  The economy does not work the way they think it does:

  • How much money a government can spend depends on how much wealth is in the economy.
  • Government has no power to create any wealth. Only work can create wealth.
  • If government spends more than total wealth, inflation keeps wealth constant.
  • A Democrat "super utopia" fails because government can't create wealth.
• Why can't government create wealth?

  Wealth is created when useful products are made for sale on the open market.

  • When workers work to produce useful products, they create wealth.
  • When the employer sells the product, the money paid for it is used to pay the workers.
  • People in government do no work to produce useful products, so they create no wealth.
  • Without work, there are no products.
  • When farmers, cattlemen, and fishers work to produce food, they create wealth.
  • Without work, no food is produced.
  • Without work, nobody eats.
  • Drug companies with patent monopolies can charge exorbitant amounts for necessary drugs.
• Why can't we have a world without work?

  Work is necessary to create wealth, products, and food.

  • When workers work to produce useful products, they create wealth.
  • When the employer sells the product, the money paid for it is used to pay the workers.
  • Without work, there are no products.
  • When farmers, cattlemen, and fishers work to produce food, they create wealth.
  • Without work, no food is produced.
  • Without work, nobody eats.
  • The Christian Bible tells us "By the sweat of your brow will you eat your food."
  • Man was given a world with very little work. He threw it away by disobeying God.
  • The Christian Bible tells us that in this world "Those who won't work shall not eat."
• What happened to the Greek utopias? The Greeks didn't have to work.

  The Greek utopia was run on slave labor. The slaves did the work.

  • The slaves did the work so the elite did not have to work.
  • The elite were freed from work to study the arts and sciences.
  • Remember that without work, no food is produced.
• What happened to all of the Socialist countries of the world?

  Most of these countries languished until the Socialism was removed.

  • People in most Socialist countries get only a subsistence wage. Only government officials are paid well.
  • The socialism lasts only as long as the power of government can suppress making income through non-Socialist activities.
  • As soon as the people overthrew the Socialist governments, the Socialism was gone.
  • Socialist products are shoddy because there is no incentive to do a good job.
  • Because the products are shoddy, less wealth is produced.
  • Remember that without work, no wealth is produced.
  • Remember that without work, no food is produced.
• Is there any way we can have a world without work?

  Some governments and company pension programs provide workless retirement.

  Some religions provide a workless or reduced-work afterlife.

  • US Workers pay Social Security all their working lives to not have to work in retirement.
  • Some other countries have programs similar to Social Security.
  • Many employers have privately funded pension programs.
  • Labor is not required in the Christian afterlife. There is some spiritual work.
