Quite correct. I believe Joe wrote the response, however thses bottom posts
are very confusing.

However, the primary problem with socialism, leftism, by whatever the
popular name of the moment is, that it allows no one with intelligence and
ambition to rise above a level dictated by some government manager.
Therefor, good managers, people with common sense, intelligent people simply
opt out.

Our public schools are a perfect example. at least three parts of the
teaching positions are held by leftists. These people are protected by a
leftist union, or at university level, by their professorship.

The US railroad industry was once a very good example here. Highly regulated
from 1871 until 1979 or so, a great industry was regulated by the government
into bankruptcy. With the repeal of the Interstate Commerce Act by the
Staggers Act, railroads again became true private concerns, and have now
fully recovered their economic strength.

Then, more recently, we had the leftist government of the State of
California, which succeeded in driving the sixth largest economy in the
world into bankruptcy.

Then consider China, once a communist country, who's leaders were smart
enough to convert it into
a  capitalist dictatorship, before it followed the USSR into total failure.

In fact there has never been a successful leftist state, in the entire
history of leftist theory.

If a theory cannot produce a practical example of success, it must be
considered flawed.

Or, as they say, doing the same thing, over and over, to achieve the same
failure, is insanity, or something to that effect.

Goes to show there are more stupid or lazy people in our world awaiting
government handouts than smart, ambitious ones.
