You Can't Have Socialism Without State Tyranny The title to this article is something I always taught my political science students about socialism. (I was the one of the rare university professors that did not push a liberal agenda.) The article itself is a good short version argument against socialism. It’s worth the 3 min it takes to read it.  https://www.theepochtimes.com/you-cant-have-socialism-without-state-tyranny_2873356.html From the article: “Socialism is the ideology of state slavery. It’s a system that places the alleged interests of a collective over the life and free will of an individual, turning people into lifeless shells incapable of self-reliance and indoctrinated with an ideology of struggle.” “The generosity of socialists isn’t real generosity. It is, as author William F. Buckley Jr. put it, being “generous with other people’s money.” And the false generosity of socialism is one that can’t exist without the forceful arms of state tyranny. It’s a “generosity” of envy, of discrimination, of plunder that can only emerge from the barrel of a gun.”
