Socialists Always Fail because their policies and practices defy reciprocal sociability.
Christopher Chantrill at
American Thinker explains: "Social animals, humans are at our best when living in a world of reciprocal sociability; we are at our worst when issuing administrative orders to people that can't answer back."
"Capitalism is a social technology in the same way that the a trauma center is social technology. You can let the technicians organize and run it, subject to law, or you can stick your political nose in and order the professionals around. Just to show who's boss, you can mix in a special deal for a powerful interest.
Time and time again in the last century, liberals have insisted that only political power can deliver the right kind of service from business. First we had to have a Federal Reserve System because you couldn't trust the Money Trust. That worked out well. The dollar is now worth 2.5 cents.
Then they decided that America's corporations had to have strong unions -- in 1935 right in the middle of a Great Depression. That worked out well. It plunged America into a second depression in 1937.
They decided that senior citizens had to have subsidized health care. So now health care for seniors is eating the budget alive, and that's before the $40 trillion that's promised but not funded.
They wanted everyone to have "affordable housing." Well, now they have their wish. Pity they had to blow up the banking system to get there.
And these are the people that called President Bush clueless!"
