the best type of rule is the long lasting and the one that satisfies if not all, at least most people.
socialism rarely cares about peoples voices or free elections. often elections are banned and people killed for not liking policies etc.
socialism rarely cares about peoples consuming needs and focuses on the wishes of the worker-controlled industry which doesnt care what the masses need to consume but rather what the workers want to produce.
socialism destroys inheritance, a human family based society is focused on working hard to leave ur offspring something behind because u care about them, socialism's 100% inheritance tax kills the family. kids will care more about the government than their own parents or grandparents. why even get married then?
a wealthy society is achieved through hard work and incentives, what incentives can one have if u work twice as hard as ur neighbor, but get paid the same? production will fall drastically, along it will fall goods present for the people and general mood will reach historic lows.
socialism tends to block free speech which is usually used by the folks to express what they need.
socialism bans almost always private gun owning which is all people have to defend themselves from a possible tyranny or abusive government(aggressive officials or passive officials bribed from criminal groups) .
socialism bans real money in favor of a fake currency, often more of a point/credit system than an actual monetary unit. money helps people to protect themselves, private security when the government is evil or purposely passive and careless. real money help people buy what they need rather than the state-made junk food. money helps
gather and rent places, create a people-run media etc.
a stable society needs order, socialism is half-anarchic, punishments for heinous crimes are often not enough. 12 years of jail for taking a life is not fair in anyway. and people cant do anything about it because they dont have free media, free elections or money to change the system.
socialism doesnt work because it bans all the basic tools people have to defend themselves for rising tyrants. free media, money, guns, free elections. all of which in socialist regimes are state controlled, ur not even allowed to form political organizations that have different views from socialism, or u the people are actually "enemies of the people" because a tiny group of tyrants say so.
lawyers are all public officials appoint by the state, u know whats going to happen if u show up for trial "for treason for disagreeing with the government", u also know whats going to happen to ur dear ones.
u dont have private detective or private investigation companies to defend urself in court from state controlled police, prosecutors, judges who are appointed in office from people who appointed themselves as the government in first place.
socialism isnt tyranny by definition, but it block all the tools that the masses have to defend themselves from tyranny. and we saw what has happened with every single socialst regime in the history of the humanity, they all ended becoming oppressing dictatorships, because the people couldnt do anything about it.
So where did this copypasta come from?
