...and why it will never work
Almost every civilized nation on the planet employs some form of socialism in its government. Socialism might even be a great form of government...if everything was free. The problem facing socialism is that goods and services cost money. At some point, the cost of providing these goods and services will cost more than the programs are taking in as the number of people paying into the programs becomes less. Socialism also weakens the incentive to work and be creative. Over time, the quality of goods and services will diminish as does the pool of talented labor willing to produce the goods and services. If there's no incentive to work, then, why work.

I live in a south America country and since all the countries are turning to communist on nowadays, I am afraid that my country would some day turn to the communist, and I would lost all my freedom, I think it just make the economic goes down, Venezuela that is a good example , their economic were grown before they turn to communist and now they have a lot of problems nowadays, I have heard that in cuba the people every day work less and some don't go to work because anyway they will not earn much, I think the communist kill the creative work, and it is just useful if you want to live depending of the government for all.
