This writer has written in the past about socialism and communism and how he understands how some can fall into the trap of believing these forms of government sound good. And it's true. They SOUND good. Free housing, free health care, free everything. Who doesn't want that? Unfortunately, the results are always the same. The people suffer and run away from those countries as fast as they can...assuming they aren't killed before they can do so.
Why do socialist countries always turn to shitholes? Because that's what socialism is designed to do. What other conclusion can one draw when suffering, starvation, and death always follow whenever these policies are applied. It's almost as if socialism is evil at its core. It may well have been designed by people with good intentions, but you know what they say about good intentions. The path to Hell is pathed with them.
Venezuela is the ultimate example of what happens when you implement socialist policies. Venezuela was once a paradise on Earth, believe it or not. Now it is the biggest shithole in the western hemisphere. That's right. It's even worse than Mexico. The thing is, initially, things weren't so bad when socialism was first implemented there. Then, the country fell off a cliff and hasn't recovered to this day.
Some people say that socialism doesn't work because it hasn't really been tried. Maybe so and based on the results we've seen, it shouldn't be. Countries that do often have power outages, famines, and high crime, among other things, none of which are good. How appealing. Who wouldn't want to sit in the dark, cower from criminals, and starve to death in a hellhole?
So why does socialism always fail? Because the governments that implement it can't pay for it. Whether you're a capitalist, communist, socialist, or anything in between, things cost money. This is a long-standing truth that escapes the minds of people who bought into the utopic view of people like North Korea's founder, Kim Il-Sung, and current U.S. president, Joe Biden. As some on the Right have said, the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money to spend. And when that happens, suffering becomes widespread. Only the elite are spared from the suffering, including the politicians who enacted it in the first place. Ultimately, socialist leaders make themselves into "gods" that you have to beg for whatever crumbs they're willing to give.
So, if this system fails every time it is adopted, why are a growing number of Americans on board with it? The simple answer is ignorance. Americans either don't know and/or aren't interested. Considering what they are teaching in the schools these days, this is an easy conclusion to make. The kids are going into these schools and coming out stupider. They have boys coming out thinking they can get pregnant and girls thinking they're boys. You think those kids can tell the difference between capitalism and socialism when they are being groomed to not know the most basic fact of life? Nope. And that's what makes them open to embracing the promise of socialism, not knowing the living Hell that awaits them.
To wrap things up, we as Americans need to thoroughly reject socialism everywhere we see it in this country. We need to stamp it out like the cockroach it is. It doesn't work. Never has and never will. It turns countries into places no one wants to live. Why do you think people run from these places? Because socialism made them suck.
Think of socialism as an abusive relationship. It uses sweet words to lure you into accepting it, then after you make the commitment, it beats and verbally abuses you for whatever arbitrary it can think of. And even if things start off good, make no mistake, the ass-whuppin' is coming. And they keep coming. Just ask Venezuela.
Until next time...
