The Great Debate: Capitalism VS Socialism
We've all heard it before, "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer", it is the main rhetoric that people say when they advocate for socialism in the free world. They want everyone to be able to have whatever their heart desires: free health care, free college, livable wages, and the wealth to be distributed among the people equally. It sounds nice doesn't it? It just has one problem... that it will never work no matter what. Socialism is reliant on the very same people that they declare greedy and evil, they want to take the wealth away from people that have rightfully earned it just because they want what they want. If the rich where not there, which is the ultimate goal for socialism, to get rid of all the upper class, then it would fail instantly because the system is directly reliant on those people for the money for the system. Socialism is entirely based on bring people down to the lowest person because then everyone is equal, where as capitalism is based on the idea that you decide how and when you get income because you have to work for it instead of it being handed to you like in a socialism based government. In all honesty, I believe Socialism is just one tiny step away from being Communism because as Ayn Rand once said "There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide". Some may argue that socialism isn't the same as communism nor democratic socialism to normal socialism but it is all one: Communism is the tyrannical government taking all of you property, Socialism is the bureaucrats voting to take your property away, and Democratic Socialism is the 51% of people voting to take your property away. Capitalism is you keeping all your property and being able to earn for only yourself and not having to worry about people taking your hard earned money or property because the "freer the market, the freer the people".
