Because with true socialism or communism, apathy is rewarded by free stuff while working is punished by the government stealing what you worked for. What is the incentive to work or work harder if you taxed more for it while people who do nothing get your stuff? Capitalism only further incentivises what people do naturally (provide for oneself and family) and it allows many paths for people to improve their life by rewarding their effort. You want to become rich, you can by being smart with your money, life choices and what you do as a living. If you're apathetic or dumb, you'll stay poor. It's fair to everyone because you reap exactly you sow good or bad. If someone is disabled to a certain point or truly unable to work, they're taken care of. |
So, I now have an idea of what you're referring to when you say communism. The government wouldn't steal anything because there'd be no government.
