Why Socialism is such a failure.

Socialism occurs in many forms and therefore with different levels of failure. There is Communism (two theme parks of such misery remain: Cuba and North Vietnam), Socialism in Latin America, the kleptocratic Socialism of Africa and the Social democracies of Europe. Then there is China: a different animal all by itself: a Market Economy led by a Communist Party. Arab Socialism had reverted to the usual dictatoreal Arab society.

Socialism has been a failure everywhere, especially in Eastern Europe and China. It produced abysmally low living standards, incredible pollution, a loss of human freedom and a cruel disctorship.

Socialism in Western Europe took a different turn and became what we know today as "democratic Socialism" or "social democracy." The degree of failure of Socialism depends on the residual strength of reasonable behavior inspired by Christianity, national resources and industries that existed before Socialism became entranched. Social democracy is not quite as big a failure as Communism was, because half the income in Europe is still in the hands of the people. Also, the Socialists do not actually own these economies, they simple attach themselves as parasites that suck the profit of the country and redistribute it to win elections.

It is difficult for the people to see how much a failure social democracy is, because most of them have not seen what their societies were before the "CHANGE," because technology produces some advancements, because their oppositions ceased to oppose Socialism and because they do not know how good tings would be without social democracy. But, we see what these countries have become in terms of historical terms. Social democracy loosened morality to the point that between STDs and the necessity of women to work, these countries no longer reproduce at a rate to remain viable societies for long. Incidentally, this is also true of Japan. Culturlly, Europe lives on its legacy from the past or succomb to the cesspool of cultural nihilism. Social Security equivalents are going broke because those who work are becoming a smaller minority. And to make matters worse, European Socialists allowed Muslims to settle in Europe (in the mistaken belief that this would replenish their working population) so there would be taxpayers. This has been a huge mistake that will cost Europe dearly.

We are at the beginning of this process. If Barak Hussein is succesfull, the federal govt will control about 48% of the income (like in Germany) and have a private army to repress opposition (as in Iran).

So, Socialism is a failure, but why? I believe that first and foremost Socialism is basically the creation of atheists, based on atheism. And God warned us that if He is not part of our process, it is doomed to failure. But, there are economic reasons that are easy to discern intellectually. Socialism is geared to produce equality and requires redistribution of income. Earning the income becomes secondary. If income is taken from those who are best at making it, this will have two harmful effects: first, it will discourage the earners of income to produce income and second it will put the income into the hands of people less able to produce income. That is why a stimulus does not work very well, whereas tax cuts do. But, Socialists do not want tax cuts because those increase inequality. So, Socialism reduces growth and earnings.
