"Socialism is bad because socialism is tyranny..."

[30CAT]

"Capitalism is good because capitalism is freedom. Socialism is bad because socialism is tyranny. Not 'it's an aspect of tyranny.' Socialism itself is tyranny.

The core principle of socialism is that an individual's labor is owed to society.

The notion of socialism is that you do not own your own freedom, you do not own your own time, you do not own your own labor, you do not own your own work, you do not own the products of your own work.

The notion of capitalism, on the other hand, is that you own all of those things and must engage in a free exchange with others who do not owe you anything."

Spot on

Great post, but likely an unpopular one to our pals on the left.

It was perfectly stated. They just deny what was stated, but they all support it.

I'm sure that wasn't your original thought.

What gave it away? The parentheses around the comments, showing I copied and pasted a quote from someone else and me responding to it or was it a lucky guess?

That said, it's common sense. Any open-minded, self-thinking person can see socialism for what it is and I just thought that was very well stated. That's why I posted it. Is that a problem or are you cool with that?
