Let’s add to our collection of anti-socialism humor.
Let’s start with this gem from Libertarian Reddit.
To be fair, there is a difference between democratic socialism and totalitarian socialism
But this cartoon helps to show that even the benign form of socialism is a high-risk proposition.
So true.
The underlying incentive system in socialism will lead to bad results regardless of whether supporters have good intentions
But many statists don’t have good intentions, which is the point of this cartoon.
At what point does the left admit that “real communism” is brutality and oppression?
Last but not least, whoever put this together deserves credit for a clever bit of satire. Though I suppose we should be fair and acknowledge that communism “only” killed 100 million people.
The bottom line is that socialism is always a failure. The only open issue is whether it is the benign version or totalitarian version.
For more on that discussion, I created a flowchart to illustrate different forms of statism.
