Why doesn’t socialism work?
The idea of socialism in itself does not seem that terrible if it would work out perfectly. Everyone would work together for the greater good of the community and everyone would be rewarded for their work equally. There would be no separation of classes; no one would have the right to look down upon anyone else because everyone would be equally privileged. All people would be able and willing to do even the hardest of jobs (knowing they get paid the same amount as someone with an easier job) just to help the well being of everyone else. However, this utopian society is unachievable because of the nature of man. Ever since the fall of man, man is not capable of being perfect or inherently good. It’s impossible. Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, most of us are constantly looking for the easy way out. If we had socialism, there would not be many people that would be willing to go to extra schooling and do the most mentally and physically straining jobs because there would be no motivation or reward. Also, another reason it would not work would be because of the government. The government is not perfect either and if they made a mistake (because they have so much control) it would directly affect your life potentially in a very negative way. Socialism has proved no to work in the past and will never work without at least some capitalist ideas.
