As the saying goes, ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.’
Albert Einstein is usually credited with that statement, although there isn’t any proof that he ever said it. Nevertheless, it’s certainly a good working definition of insanity. And by that definition, I have to conclude that socialists are insane.
When I was a kid, we used to say some things only ‘sound good on paper.’ In other words, they seem like good plans, but there is no way they’re going to work in the real world.
That’s socialism in a nutshell.
I mean, socialism really does sound good on paper, right? We’re all going to own everything together and take care of each other. It sounds so nice. And we all want to be nice right? Just think about the expression, ‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.’ That’s so positive. So nice. So warm and fuzzy.
Except when people start dying.
And you know what’s not nice?
Corpses.
