It’s not because of bad people who pervert a great ideal.
The socialist system is:
It removes incentives to produce because it violates human nature by denying the right to ownership and business initiative.
Socialism can only be maintained by institutional violence.
Socialism disrespects dignity, destroys autonomy, and puts power in the hands of incompetent and uncaring bureaucrats. When that happens, what follows is abuse, corruption, waste, misery, and hopelessness.
If socialism works so well, why are people always trying to escape from it? Why do people cross deserts, climb walls, and risk drowning to get to America and not Cuba?
Capitalism has its blemishes because it evolves organically from market interactions of flawed human beings. That is the exact reason why socialism is not the solution.
The “pursuit of happiness” means the freedom to try, to fail, to learn, and to thrive without a government deciding who gets what.
No one is running from capitalism. Because it gives us freedom and opportunities to pursue a good life.
