I was appalled by a poll that said 50% of millennials preferred socialism over capitalism. Those of idealistic naivete\u2019 believe they can live in a perfect Eden-like society \u2014 everyone sharing everything \u2014 while a nanny government oversees all facets of life from cradle to crypt. It would be heaven on earth if only human nature wouldn\u2019t prick this fantasy bubble of wishes.<\/p>\n

Call me jaded, but I believe when personal incentive and responsibility are eliminated human nature has shown failure throughout history. Dictators claim to be socialists and socialism goes hand in hand with communism.
No one immigrated to Cuba or Russia. Workers are so unhappy in China, they\u2019ve installed suicide nets under factory windows.<\/p>\n

They have over a million people in \u201cre-education camps.\u201d
After you\u2019ve taken all the money from the rich, who will redistribute the riches? Those in control will control you, from cradle to crypt. Socialism\u2019s cost is the citizen\u2019s individuality.<\/p>\n
