Its called hypocrisy...



Whoa now, why where are guns being pointed at peoples heads? Are you saying that people will succeed if you provide all of their needs? I believe that to be naive, as failure will always exist in regards to humanity. In reality, only the strong survive, only the strong succeed...
All of us have a gun pointed to our heads. If we don't work, we lose everything we have and end up living on the streets without anything to sustain us.

And yes, I believe people will succeed if all their needs are met because I haven't met one happy, healthy human being who just lays around all day doing nothing. My grandpa's a good example. He's a retired man who eats well and lives in the same house he has for 40 years, yet he spends 10 hours a day working on his yard and cleaning his house because he likes to do it. The man could easily sit on his ass all day and watch his westerns, but he doesn't.

Granted, some people would be lazy, but that's why it's important to educate people on the idea of helping everyone out. You know, promoting peace and unity instead of scarcity and competition. Just like the way we've been taught that self-interest will take care of everyone (it won't).

Oh, and just because the Soviets failed doesn't mean it can't be done.
