The paradox of socialism: It promises to eliminate the poor, but its entire existence relies on creating more of them. It doesn’t cure poverty; it manufactures it.
The fundamental flaw of socialism is believing you can lift the poor up by dragging the productive down. You don’t end poverty by destroying the engine that creates wealth.
Communism doesn’t ‘fail.’ It does exactly what it was built for: grinding hope into ration lines while the ruling class watches from a balcony no one else is allowed to climb.
NYC used to be built by dreamers. Now it’s going to be drained by demands. The Makers—those who fund the city—will flee. The Takers will arrive with open hands and no plan to contribute. When the backbone leaves, the burden breaks everyone.
