Don't Understand Socialism

I saw a comment to a comic strip today, that supported socialism and said other people don’t understand that socialism is “people cooperating together” to accomplish things. That shows an abysmal IGNORANCE about socialism. Socialism is, in NO WAY “people cooperating together.” It is the government STEALING the fruits of the production of those who PRODUCE new wealth, so they can give it, UNEARNED, to those who produce little, or nothing. Their very MOTTO reinforces that. It is: “FROM each according to his ABILITY, and TO each according to his NEED.” Making need a DEMAND upon the earnings of those capable and willing to EARN their own way. Socialism is a way to rip off part of their earnings for the benefit of those who have earned NOTHING, because they have earned nothing. It has only survived for all these years because of the LIES told by those promoting it for their own purposes. Socialism is always doomed to failure because it produces nothing, and depends on the production of those capable and willing to earn their own way, to create new wealth for them to STEAL and “redistribute” to those who produce NOTHING. (Just common sense)
