SOCIALISM: Dangers (Part 3)

Welcome!

I’m Bub Kuns, and we’re talking about socialism again.

One of socialism’s dangers is that it takes away workers’ incentive and punishes achievement.

Professor Ilya Somin, who immigrated from the Soviet Union in the 1970s, stated, “Even as the socialist system created opportunities for vast atrocities by the rulers, it also destroyed production incentives for ordinary people. In the absence of markets … there was little incentive for workers to either be productive or to focus on making goods that might actually be useful to consumers. Many people tried to do as little work as possible at their official jobs.”

But 2 Thessalonians 3:10 gives the principle, “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat” (ESV). It’s human nature to achieve when given incentives but to be unproductive without them.  

And what are other problems with socialism? We’ll discuss them another time.
