The rich in our society must feel like the character in the Kafka play who was found guilty of being innocent, especially if their wealth resulted from business activity. All social legislation is a perversion of the law. Gone is the ability of government to continually provide the illusion of social security by spending our money on social programs. Socialism has never worked anywhere its been tried. No such thing has ever really existed.
Socialism attracts because it appears to combine charity with justice.
The threat to freedom is especially great when revolutionaries seek equality for all. Socialists hate admitting that socialism is completely dependent on capitalism for its parasitic existence.
