Socialism simply cannot work in South Africa

As Winston Churchill said, it amounts to the equal sharing of miseries, writes

TJohn.

he definition of socialism is the theory that everyone has an equal right to a share of the country’s wealth, and that the government should own and control the main industries.

This is the idea behind land expropriation without compensation.

However, an experiment by a professor and his students concluded that socialism is not via- ble, and would ultimately fail.

Space prevents me from detailing the experiment. When government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. One cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving anything. The government must first take from somebody to give to others.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

When one half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

This is what is going to happen in SA, for “the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries” (Winston Churchill).
