Ever wonder how many young people with no knowledge of history or no idea of what socialism really means think it’s a great idea?

The thing with socialism, and even communism, is that, on the surface, it sounds like a good idea. Everybody is equal and has what they need. You don’t have to worry about money, etc. The problem is that they both run completely contrary to human nature and, therefore, will simply never work on a large scale. There will always be people that are lazy-good-for-nothings that will suck the system dry. The people that are good hard workers will then end up being resentful of the lazy people that do nothing and still get whatever they want. Young people often haven’t learned that lesson yet and so they think the idea sounds idyllic.
