take your blinders off and look around it already is

Socialism only works if humanity wasn't inherently greedy
4 :
it can't
5 :
Sure: people will pretend to work and the government will pretend to pay them.

It won't. The more it spreads, the worse off we are. That's why all the countries are looking at making tremendous spending cuts following Greece's socialism failure.

IT WAS TRIED.... ... and we almost starved to death. Thankfully, Gov. William Bradford of the 1623 Plymouth Colony decided "each man would have set acres" instead of of having shared crops and shared work. As soon as he did that, the harvests were more than ever before and the threat of starving over the winter was gone from American history.

Same as it always works everywhere. The ruling class uses FORCE to control everyone else and lives opulently at the expense of holding "the people" in hopeless life-threatening poverty. This is the core of Democrat policy. The rest is details.

It can not and will not.I will fight to the death for American Individual freedom

It hasn't worked for any EU country so far and they have been around a lot longer. Why should it even be considered. Obama is pushing us that way and if the people fall for it We will have a ruling class and all else be poor. No middle class. Good luck on getting a decent thought out answer.
