Economics #2

Socialism doesn't work because it takes away from peoples right to freedom. It also relies on man being innately good. However, do yourself a favor and turn on the news. Man is innately evil. This is proved through the high crime rates, especially in communist states. Another thing that socialism would need in order to succeed is complete control of all people. This is impossible within First World democracies such as the U.S. because people are used to having their freedom. Take that freedom away and you will have a revolt on your hands. Plus, there is a very strong anti-communism/socialism sentiments nationwide. This is rooted in the Cold War when Russia, then the USSR, was the U.S.'s major enemy. All of this is besides the fact that in most American thinking, socialism is innately evil. They feel this way because of when they look at socialist governments and countries they see massive amounts of corruption. For example, Joseph Stalin killed more of his own people then Hitler did Jews. Communism wouldn't work in America because of the immense hatred for it.
