Economics adds up those personal tendencies over millions of people in large, complex societies and comes up with a few simple rules that describe economic behavior. When most of us interface with the outside world, we expect the highest possible pay for the work we do, and when we buy things, we expect the highest quality at the lowest possible price. Socialism and Communism Are Bad Economics That Must be Implemented by Government Force For those of you who think the government using the medical system to advance its own interests is the fevered paranoia of a deranged libertarian, I would remind you that the Hong Kong protestors have developed a separate medical network rather than use public hospitals. You could be reassigned from the job you trained years to get. Write an insightful article about how a local government official is making a huge mistake (if you can find a computer to write it on), and you may find your apartment changed to the worst one available in a city where you don’t want to live. In a communist society, all jobs, all levels of education, the national police, the medical system, the judicial system, the electoral system, the housing stock, the food distribution system, the military, the press, and all forms of transportation are controlled by the central government. The real issue that needs to be addressed here is that a government that controls everything can quash dissent by changing the economic situation of anyone who is pointing out their defects or is involved with the opposition.

The Soviet Constitution of 1936-Article 12 stated that “Labor in USSR is a duty and honorable obligation of each able citizen according to the principle: ‘Those who don’t work-don’t eat.’” A government that controls everything can quash dissent by changing the economic situation of anyone who is pointing out their defects.If you persisted in demanding your right not to work, you wound up in the gulag, so thank God you live in a free enterprise, democratic society. But that doesn’t mean people no longer have to work. The good news is you are entitled to housing, education, health care, and food. A Government That Is Giving You Things Can Take Them Away Let’s examine the causal links that make communism a living hell for the people who have to live with it. Once a communist form of government is established, tyranny is the only result, regardless of which government official Game of Thrones’d their way to the top. Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Fidel Castro, Erich Honecker, and Pol Pot are all bad people, but the personalities at the top matter little. Sometimes it is argued that the personalities involved lead to tyranny, not communism or socialism.

The Kim family in North Korea and the Castros in Cuba have been ruling their countries like the kings and queens of old for some time. In fact, in an extreme irony, communism, ostensibly the most egalitarian form of government, in two cases led to the least egalitarian form of government: royalty or the rule of one family over time. The words communist dictatorship roll off the tongue like the two words have gone together forever.

Mention the countries North Korea, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Mao Tse Tung’s China, East Germany, and Venezuela, and most people immediately think of an oppressed population with almost no economic opportunity and no political freedom. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that communism leads to tyranny.
