Socialism is BS. Don't be fooled.

There is nothing wrong with equality as the EFFECT of good policy and tied in with other good effects, but using it as the sole CAUSE of your policy decisions is ridiculously stupid.

If everyone is starving, everyone is equal. Does that mean you have a super wonderful perfect economic system? Of course fucking not.

The communists were tyrants before they even decided to be communist. They knew that if they chose a fallacious ideal like communism they could place "equality" above freedom of speech and human rights once they got into power.

"The people in harge were bad, that's why communism didn't work." is a fucking stupid argument. Of course bad people exist and will get into the government. How old are you? 5? The reason why communism is flawed is because it has little to no safeguards against tyranny. There is no much use complaining about how Stalin lives in opulent splendour whilst your children starve if you are living in a "dictatorship of the proletariat". The founding fathers of the US made Freedom of Speach their 1 priority from day 1, that is why we are a democracy, because not being executed for speaking your mind is a little more fundamental than whatever good would come from handing all your property over to the government.

Remember. With capitalism, EVERYONE WINS! It doesn't matter if some win more than others.

There are of course other elements such as circumstance, inheritance, crime and corruption which cause people to earn more than they are worth, they can be ignored though as they are usually insignificant.

You've gotta be fucking joking. George W. Bush grew up with a silver spoon up his ass and never worked on honest day in his life, and he is fucking PRESIDENT. Usually insignificant? Bullshit. Businessmen, lawyers, corporate managers, pro sports players, and countless other ridiculously high paying jobs aren't worth shit, yet the illegal mexican child making all our shit and running our economy gets paid a dollar a week. Face the fucking facts, we have become an Oligarchy, big business rules over the economy and takes every opportunity to exploit the middle and low class.
