Then you have numerous examples in history of governments being corrupt, and mismanaged. Which ultimately leads to stagnation and collapse. |
Socialism doesn't need to be an all or nothing approach.
I work damn hard, my life gets put at risk, I still support Socialism to various degrees when it is used to support the most vulnerable and enhance the free market for better opportunities for all.
A little bit of socialism has certainly assisted my own country (Australia) to have one of the highest living standards in the world with one of the best (socialist) health care systems in the world, fantastic infrastructure and a welfare safety net that supports the nations most vulnerable.
I would say for us it's been extremely successful... And we still maintained our market-based capitalistic market on top of it and are still a highly developed first world nation.

Fascism rose under a socialist policy. Basically, get the masses pissed off at the current government, promise free stuff and that things will get better. Once in power, Germany then implemented a fascism regime. They kind of go hand in hand. Today Democrats pride themselves on speech censorship, and condone violence against conservatives. All in the name of what they think is right and any other opinion is swiftly silenced. Disagree and you loose your job or get death threats. To me where as historically we dealt with right wing fascism, today we seeing the rise in left wing fascism. Both used Socialism to gain influence. Both take away rights for the greater good of the state. Both suppress freedoms of individuals. |
Facism is rising in the USA under the current term.
The further left or right you go, the more they are the same.
