This Editorial by Steve Mccann at Investor’s Business Daily is a brilliant exposition on Socialism, the natural tendencies of a population to gravitate towards Government provided assistance to living, the desire of an elite to control the masses, and how Capitalism is the only way that Socialism can succeed in any facet. The elite will do anything to gain control and power. Prior to the modern era the social structures of the time allowed the elite to control the masses (i.e. the Feudal System). In the modern era equality and the rights of the individual have become such an ingrained part of society that the elite cannot control the masses simply by the fact that they are the aristocrats and the elite. Now they require more subtle approach (i.e. Marxism, Socialism). They promise a level of subsistence that is acceptable to a majority. They promise equality and to take from the rich (the producers). The problem with this system is that the producers do not have the infinite amount of resources that a socialist system requires and the producers cannot carry the masses on their back forever. Capitalism creates the wealth and the producers that Socialism needs to carry out its programs. Once this resource has been tapped dry the system collapses. Every example of Socialism every carried out in the history of the world has succumbed to this death. There exists no method for Socialism’s success. This is because Socialism goes completely against the natural desires of man to be rewarded for their labor and the natural desire of man to be able to succeed to the level of wealth and social status that they are capable of with their God given abilities.
