Socialism doesn’t work because it tries to root out human nature. Capitalism works because it harnesses it.
We are capitalists, conservatives and federalists in part because we acknowledge and understand human nature. Its possibilities – and its limitations.
They are Socialists because they are Utopian fantasists. They think they can remake humanity and the planet into a Heaven on Earth. And the vehicle with which they attempt this intercontinental, multi-billion-person fundamental transformation – is government. Faith in government is itself a failure to grasp human nature.
