npub1gqr0d7nex26hvxpdd4ddpngsfyrf2ue9kz4xuhxlchz6n5292y4q53gerg (npub1gqr…gerg) There's no evidence from history that it can work and plenty that it won't.Partly this is because it requires a huge central government that consumes a big chunk of that which comes out of your paycheck. In the US we've spent $23Trillion on "the war on poverty" Of that 4 Trillion was actually distributed to the poor, all the rest was consumed by government. And Capitalism has lifted far more people out of poverty than socialism ever has. sounds nice but ignores human nature
