Patriots Destroying A Stalin Statue (circa. 1941)

“It took capitalism half a century to come back from the Great Depression.” - Ben Shapiro

Having read the Amazon preview of Benjamin Shapiro’s groundbreaking work; “How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them: 11 Rules for Winning the Argument” I believe I am now fully qualified to debate leftist SJW Cultural Marxists and destroy them with my logic and reason. Furthermore, I deduct from Benjamin’s (who’s wife is a DOCTOR (a person with a doctorate)) Magnum Opus that Socialism, and in extension Communism, does not and can not work due to some simple reasons I will go over below.

Reason Number One: Human Nature

According to Google (google.com) the definition of Human Nature is;

“ the general psychological characteristics, feelings, and behavioural traits of humankind, regarded as shared by all humans.”

Google Dictionary (google.com)

Mourners of the late Prime Minister Thatcher, the phrase “the Bitch is dead” is used ironically and warmly, indicating a deep bond between the late Prime Minister and the people of Britain

It is clear that selfishness and greediness is at the core of human nature, it is clear that every human in existence is driven by competition and not cooperation. As Margret Thatcher, one of the greatest people ever to live, once said;

“ there’s no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families.”

-Margaret Thatcher

Here, she perfectly captures the human spirit, we as a species work not for the betterment of society, but for the betterment of ourselves as individuals (one of the reasons I believe public firefighters and schools should be shut down and privatised). I ask, what is the point of improving society if I cannot profit from it and visibly show my superiority over the peasantry?

For example say I am a rich man and the owner of a large cloth factory, why should I produce garments if there is no profit motive? Without competition and human greed how will we as a society progress? Communism seeks to take these things away and replace them with stagnation and failure.

Reason Number Two: Venezuela

This is one of my favourite points to bring up whenever I debate leftists online (mainly on twitter with my account Viscount Richard Alexander-Hamilton IV). Venezuela is clear evidence of the failures of the Socialist system, Maduro’s dictatorship of the Proletariat (a Marxist Phrase that talks of a time where the working class seizes political power) has so far been an astounding failure

Last year the private sector accounted for 70 percent of gross domestic product, including 11 percent in taxes paid on products, according to Central Bank estimates. The public sector was 30 percent, a slightly smaller share than when Chavez was elected in 2008. “What socialism? Private sector still dominates Venezuelan economy despite Chavez crusade” from Fox News

Venezuela is clear evidence of the failures of the socialist model, how can a nation call itself “Socialist” when the private sector dominates the economy? The economic crisis is clearly because of the socialist government’s incapability of managing the economy resulting in rampant hyper-inflation and widespread starvation of hundreds of billions of people, thus proving once again that socialism cannot and will not work in real life.

Conclusion

Upon hearing these arguments, leftists will often try and deflect it with statements such as “But that wasn’t REAL Communism” (No real Scotsmen) or “If Humans always work for their self-interest, then why shouldn’t the working class overthrow a system that inherently disadvantages them?” (no comment), but remember as capitalists, we have the moral upper ground so just ignore them and repeatedly bring up the points I made in this article for guaranteed victory.
