    Exactly why socialism fails in reality while succeeding brilliantly on paper

    You have to be fucking kidding me. So why are all these socialists calling for more government programs? If people were rewarded for effort, then they should work harder and get off the damn free shit wagon.

    I am lost.

    But here I go. People calling for more programs are either non-contrubutors or politicians. The working person is burdened by the codependency of politicians and freeloaders.

    What we call Socialism is not in keeping with basic principle. Hence, more akin to communism.

    But in theory communism also results in everyone doing so much to benefit all. You are referencing theoretical socialism which like theoretical communism has not existed nor will the next time work. The same is true of capitalism there is no pure version.

    However socialism increases the number mooches every time until the system implodes as they run out of other peoples money.

    Absolutely agree, lived in it for 20 some years of my life. Funny/ not so funny fact, my parents and all other workers HAD to give one daily earnings per month to the southern part of country where moochers were multiplying, not working and plotting how to take over the region... this was only one example amongst many. Communist leaders made these decisions for greater good of the socialist republic which collapsed eventually!
