RE: Venezuela’s Road to Literal Serfdom
And yet many folks claim that socialism didn't fail because "it wasn't really tried." Go figure...
Best I can figure out, the people who say that have a mental image of socialism as a tight-knit family or well-run classroom. They can't figure out why socialism can't scale. (Hint: "strangers.")
That's a great point, What I call "communalism" works in small communities where folks pitch in and help each other out , and doesn't work on a larger scale where there is no incentive for the takers to contribute and where there is no social price to pay for taking without contributing
