A great look at the dumb belief yayem known as socialism/communism...
Are they wrong, stupid or evil?
This column answers this question in detail...
The fact is that people in the Western world work far less for far better living conditions and food than any group of people who have ever lived on Earth, with the exception of natives on tropical islands whose food literally falls off of trees. We live longer, better, more comfortable lives filled with entertainment, and most of us don’t even have physically demanding or dangerous jobs.
We are able to travel millions of miles over our lives should we so choose. I drive rarely, but still put about 8-10,000 miles on my car a year. I take trips that would have taken months not too long ago in the space of hours. People can fly to Hawaii on a whim–a trip that would have been frequently deadly not too long ago.
In other words, even poor people in capitalist societies have pretty great lives by historical standards unless they are drug addicts or mentally ill. And drug addicts and mentally ill people didn’t have it any easier in earlier times.

They object to money without realizing money is simply an efficient way for human beings to trade their skills or labor without barter, and money is just another way to trade–and trade is the only way any of us can get others to labor for us.
