The articles title was a stretch for sure. It should be Why Socialism Doesn't Work, because it had little to do with the incident in question.

BUT, Socialism is a slow growing danger in the US.

Socialism is anti individual, anti liberty, anti capitalism and anti freedom. It trains people to rely on the government instead of themselves. It champions equal results instead of equal opportunity. It destroys capitalism by rewarding underachievement and punishing achievement. And it destroys freedom with laws aimed at controlling and managing populations.

It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. 99% of people (PD feel free to chastise me) who hold socialist ideas believe they are doing the noble thing. After all, most of these people do not believe they are socialists.

In the world of theory, ideas are judged by their beauty. There, socialism ranks as a noble ideal. But in the real world, ideas are judged by their effects on real people. Here, socialism is a failure.
