Introduction
This article was going to be about how socialism as a concept and system is intrinsically morally corrupting and degrading, both to society and the self. The following article was going to be, ‘are women to blame for the world we live in’. Add in wanting to talk about a couple of articles I read on Zerohedge a good 15 years about pricing and decision making and I decided to have a rethink and write a structured set of articles.
I have wondered about the intent and demonisation I should include within these articles, but the problem is this: If demonising individuals, you get the socialists claiming it isn’t the system but the wrong people implementing it. I will argue that the people were intelligent, of the best intentions, and efficient at implementing their ideas. This will just leave the principle of socialism itself, and I think the arguments will be all the more damning for it.
What am I defining as Socialism
So for the purpose of these articles, who comes under the socialist umbrella?
From Communists to Nazis, there are many brands, the main similarity I think is that they are looking to give equality of outcome, rather than the state actively preventing people from succeeding. I don’t use equality of opportunity as the alternative as that isn’t quite how real life works.
The image at the top is as close as the mainstream AIs will allow to what I see as the socialist family. I would place the modern Labour on the other side of Hitler, but otherwise it is a fair representation. For all we call Labour (it is going to be really hard not being offensive), they are obviously not the NAZI party, and there are differences, but the similarities, which I won’t go into here, are startling.
And here was a paragraph showing where Labour are literally worse than the NAZIs… This is going to be really, really, hard!
Why People go into politics
So trying to humanise all the evil that has been done by socialists. Most people want to see everybody have better lives. A lot see what they believe to be injustice, and at times they see it right. But seeing problems isn’t difficult, it is workable solutions that are. These people really do think they are doing good for their cause, even when killing millions. And under Labour we are currently too few steps away from it happening here.
So the problem isn’t necessarily the starting point, but the road to the solution.
The core problems with Socialism
If you look online or ask your AI of choice, they provide several succinct areas. They overlap rather and so I am going to make my own groupings. Each grouping is going to be a separate article. I am trying to show the wider systemic problems that always occur regardless of creed.
1. Pricing to market
One of the fundamental reasons why socialism fails economically.
2. Incentive
The first communists, The pilgrim fathers will provide a telling tale.
3. Decision Taking and Risk
This shows just how damaging socialism is to our way of life
4. Moral Stagnation
How socialism makes us all morally worse people in the end
5. Women or Socialisation: Who to blame for the feminisation of society
Imagine the fairer half of our readership will be giving this one some serious scrutiny. By pure chance I will be out of the country when it lands…
6. The Move to Oppressive Regimes
‘We believe in democracy and you can vote any which way you like as long as it’s red’
7. Where can Justice Warriors Look Towards to actually Help Society
Obviously this won’t be about failures of socialism, but maybe give some idea where they can turn their attention on problems a market led economy can cause.
Summary
So today is an introduction to the series. Hopefully whetted a few appetites. I have plenty of material to be getting on with, so no reading of the comments on here, and much usage of midnight oil. Laters.
