Socialism is perfect for families in that socialism works well within the very small community of the family unit. Everyone is invested in the well-being of everyone else in the community, and certain members are willing to work harder to support those who can’t work as hard. There is joint wealth to fulfill the needs and success of the community. This is done willingly with no external control forcing the community to accept the social system against their logical judgment.

Beyond the family unit socialism is contrary to human nature and will always fail. It always has failed and will continue failing. Socialism is an apt metaphor for guaranteed failure.

Skeptical? At the next Fourth of July block party, be the family who brings cubed carrots suspended in green Jell-O to the potluck. Set your cubed carrots suspended in green Jell-O next to the huge pile of slow smoked baby back ribs your next door neighbor brought to the shindig. You’ll find out just how quickly your family isn’t invited to any more potlucks.

And logically so. The other socialist family units know the score. There’s no way to spin equity from Jell-O and ribs. The human mind doesn’t operate like that, and that is the failure of socialism. Socialism is contrary to human nature.

And to the continued useful fools who say “schools and roads and police are socialism,” excise your head from your rectum just briefly and hear these words.

There is a huge difference between a social service and socialism. Huge.
