Are Socialism and Communism really Bad Investments?

It seems in the US you are seeing a lot of Americans screaming and yelling on how they want Socialism or worst yet even Communism as of those two are better forms of Gov. In reality I hate to break it to those Cultural Marxists our there but neither both are good replacements for Democracy.

Hell even Democracy is flawed but out of three it’s the best pick. Socialism and Communism all promote equality and everyone will have the same things no one will be above your comrade and he will not have more than you. These ideas I have to admit are enticing to an individual who does not know fully know how socialism and communism work. Even if you don’t know all you have to do is look at Europe and really see what is going on there. Certain countries have a form of socialism. 

In this post I will talk about Socialism, only because I have visited countries with that type of Socialism. Mainly Spain is where I will take this conversation to since I  have family there. Many of my family members who live in Spain are finding it hard to get jobs. It’s so hard that many leave the country to more democratic types to find jobs and send money home. You ask yourself why would they go to another country? You see many corporations cannot work in that type of system. Doing business there is hard so they avoid the country all together. The ones that do stay pay big taxes for all the social programs the government is providing. 

Yes they have lots of social programs but with out a way to get money to fill those social programs with needed finance they are not working. A underground economy has started where you can buy stuff you need. Most young people have left the country and only their parents remain behind. 

To me socialism sounds good on paper but in reality it’s not something we should pursue. I believe what we can do is find a way to fix the issues we have in our democracy. We are not perfect and everything we create has flaws some are apparent and others are not. When I see young people wanting socialism or even communism as a way to lift themselves up I cringe. 

Karl Marx like most people who promoted these types of Government were people who were rich or who teetered on the edge of poverty. It’s been said that Karl Marx never worked a day in his life and usually lived with other people so he could keep with his lifestyle. 

Even in the former Soviet Union you had people who had more than others. They were usually those who were part of the communist party who like to preached about how we all need to be equal and those very people would be the ones profiting. 

We have to cone to terms that there is no such thing as an Utopia. There will always be good and bad times and it’s all about how we take a problem and solve it. No one said it was going to be easy and our Democracy is a “Work in Progress” this has been the way it’s been since the beginning. To give up everything, to hide true history good and bad so that others can benefit with out having to work for it it’s a time bomb that will explode and destroy America.

What would America’s future be if we go down the paths of Socialism and or Communists? I predict a very, very bad future for everyone. A future where no one will go above and beyond to become something better. What for? So that someone else can enjoy the fruits of my labor? A person who never worked but since we are equal and not allowed to raise ourselves I have to share everything with others? What drive will that give people to progress come up with new ideas to help society if I’m not going to benefit from it. 

Be careful what you wish for because when you get it it’s yours forever! No matter what you do the problem will exist or become worse.
