On This Day in 1848 : Karl Marx And Friedrich Engels Publish the Communist Manifesto.

Because socialism is an elitist, anti-freedom ideology for the economically illiterate. Or as Winston Churchill put it "the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignornace and the gospel of envy".
Socialism is an effective way of economic ordering in the same way that starvation is an effective way to lose weight: works great for a while, but eventually it'll kill you.

A Socialist lesson:

Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.
-Ayn Rand

The essential characteristic of socialism is the denial of individual property rights; under socialism, the right to property (which is the right of use and disposal) is vested in “society as a whole,” i.e., in the collective, with production and distribution controlled by the state, i.e., by the government.

The alleged goals of socialism were:

the abolition of poverty, the achievement of general prosperity, progress, peace and human brotherhood.
The results have been a terrifying failure—
terrifying, that is, if one’s motive is men’s welfare.
Instead of prosperity, Socialism has brought economic paralysis and/or collapse to every country that tried it.

The degree of socialization has been the degree of disaster.

-There is no difference between the principles, policies and practical results of socialism—and those of any historical tyranny.
When you consider Socialism, do not fool yourself about its nature.
Remember that there is no such dichotomy as “human rights” versus “property rights.” No human rights can exist without property rights.
…, if the producer does not own the result of his effort, he does not own his life.
To deny property rights means to turn men into property owned by the state. Whoever claims the “right” to “redistribute” the wealth, produced by others,
is claiming the “right” to treat human beings as chattel.
-Ayn Rand
*
When you look throughout history one thing becomes perfectly clear.
Socialism is deadly.

Not only to the economy but to the very people that are enslaved by its web of deceit.
Socialism and Communism are inherently evil.
There is no perfect human being alive, accordingly, there will never be an utopian society.

*There will always be wars.

*There will always be revolts.

*There will always be protests.

There will always be anger and jealously of what someone else has achieved.
The difference?

In a free society, you are allowed this discourse and discussion.
In a society where the “State” (government) owns and redistributes everything ?
You do not.

Your freedoms have been taken by the “State” for the collective well being.
Your “dis-satisfaction” is viewed as a danger to this “State!”

Therefore it and must be eliminated or crushed.
You see, Socialism and Communism remind me of cancer.

If you have cancer, what is the first thing that the doctors want to do ?
Destroy it or cut it out.

The same thing holds true in Socialism and Communism. The “Elite’ can not allow freedoms to exist because it will spread like cancer affecting all the other people around it.
In a society where the “State” (government) controls and re-distributes everything ,
individual freedom is the one thing that can not be tolerated !

Freedom will destroy it all.

This is where this “utopia” turns into a bloody nightmare.
