The problems with Socialism

The problem largely is Socialist ideology. In my opinion it appeals those who are driven by emotion rather than by common sense. Their emotions often convey compassion and empathy which are positive traits, but are also driven by negative emotions such as anger, hatred and envy. Sadly these emotions are responsible for some of the most ludicrously engineered policies as well as actions and attitudes that the Labour Party is well known for.

I'm not against the use of emotions in political decision making, but utilizing common sense should always be 1st on the list when thinking up policies. And that is where Socialists so often fail as they often think for the moment charged by emotion, but neglect to think about the long term consequences for their actions.

In a socialist's mind everything they dream up is 'for the greater good' which in theory might sound great. However whilst their ideas may help some people, it also harms others, and for that reason they will never achieve this target of equality. It will always result in inequality of some sort and is ultimately doomed to fail and will always be seen by the swing voter as poorly thought out unelectable policies created by a deluded ideology utopia.

Jeremy Corbyn supporters as well as other socialists cannot see this. They seem to think that the world needs to be driven by emotional outlook that mirrors their own ideology, but they also fail to realise that common sense needs to prevail.

Socialists go against the grain of human nature, because we as the collective human race will always be individuals capable of independent thought processes, different ideas, beliefs and attitudes. It is for this reason that Socialism will always fail in their goal of an equality utopia that benefits all mankind.

The harsh reality that they fail to see is that they will never please everybody, and whilst ever human being is different in ideology, they will always be different in intellect, ability and skills. As such there will always be different levels of natural hierarchy and inequality. That's natural cause and effect, yet socialists are so arrogant and ignorant in thinking that their way will solve the problems of natural division, and they get frustrated when they cannot achieve it. This is because they are deluded in their own little cult where they cannot think outside of their bubble.

The problem with socialist countries / economies is that their economics is often flawed. Excessive spending to pay for nationalised industries / infrastructure / welfare means the country is spending more than it receives in taxable income, and because it is a country that has no capitalist systems in place, it is not creating any wealth. They borrow and print so much money to ease the situation that their currency is almost worthless and fluctuates in value regularly-it is that unstable.
Their idea of the people and the state running the means of production just is not working at all. An ideology turned sour, their utopia is a nightmare.

Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it, and it's worse.
