Socialism is inherently dysfunctional.
The reason socialism is evil is because it decreases the total number and quality of goods and services available to the people by hindering businesses, whose main reason for existing is to increase the amount of goods and services available.
On top of this, strangulation by regulation reduces the amount of job creation, which suppresses wages.
And govt printing inflates asset values, meaning asset rich get richer, and asset poor get poorer.
And it does all this under the guise of protecting the very people it's butchering.
That last part, the deception into self sabotage, is why socialism is not merely bad, it is evil.
