Why Socialism Can’t Work in America

Governs government: The Constitution doesn't govern the American people; the Constitution governs the American government.

Three Ps: There are three "Ps" that actually create the economic world: the pricing mechanism of the marketplace, profit and loss, and personal property.

Subject to theory: Socialism doesn't embrace measurement or accountability that isn't subject to theory.

Not for all: It can be argued that socialism isn't for the benefit of all, but rather taking from some to give to others.

Never voluntary: Socialism has to be imposed, and it has to be coerced, so it can never happen in a voluntary state.

Immune to feedback: Some governmental structures have had problems in adjusting to the increase in the world's population because they’re immune to feedback.

Creating scarcity: The system of socialism guarantees the creation of scarcity.

Self-development required: Capitalism requires the maximum self-development of individuals.

Threatening innovation: Socialism interferes with any innovation that's going to threaten the existing structure.

Effective action: Capitalism is a way to produce more effective action out in the world.
