Why socialism FAILS
Quite simply, it disregards the ostensible fact that I owe nothing to any of you except the modicum of respect that I would have you give to me, as a non-criminal human being. ("you" and "me", in this case, refers to the 1st and 2nd parties of any social interaction imaginable)
The only socialist utopia in the World right now is Cuba. A lot of people try to move out of that place for some reason...
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)
