The paradox of socialism: It promises to eliminate the poor, but its entire existence relies on creating more of them. It doesn’t cure poverty; it manufactures it.
The fundamental flaw of socialism is believing you can lift the poor up by dragging the productive down. You don’t end poverty by destroying the engine that creates wealth.
NYC used to be built by dreamers. Now it’s going to be drained by demands. The Makers—those who fund the city—will flee. The Takers will arrive with open hands and no plan to contribute. When the backbone leaves, the burden breaks everyone.
A nation isn’t conquered by armies anymore. It’s done slowly, from the inside, by those who write the laws and control the culture. They don’t need to break down the gates when they’re already in charge of the institutions. The surrender is silent.
