The article points out:<\/p>\n

In newly released nighttime photos from NASA<\/a>, the disastrous economics effects of socialism<\/a> can be clearly seen<\/a>. Causes: North Korea<\/a>\u2019s stifling government control yields power generation<\/a> and per-person economic activity that is less than 10% of that in South Korea<\/a>. Still think socialism is \u201cgood on paper\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we lived in a world of perfect people, socialism would work. Unfortunately, we live in a world of flawed people–all flawed in different ways. Socialism was tried by the early settlers of America<\/a>. The Puritans<\/a> instituted a form of socialism–they abolished private property<\/a> and stated that all property would be held in common. Half the colonists died of starvation. At that point, private property rights<\/a> were restored, and each man farmed his own land. As a result of the decision to restore private property rights, more food was produced, and fewer people faced starvation. Americans can learn from their own history as well as the history of other countries. Socialism is a wonderful utopian idea that does not work. It’s really that simple.<\/p>\n
