“Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.”
Ronald Reagan
This sentence of Reagan is very good, now, I think that for compatibility, in the sky can not be applied, but there is much similarity between the description of hell with socialism.
This is why people like you that have lived with it need to write. There are too many people deluded that have no idea what they are advocating for. People who lived with the hell tend to appeal to them more, since they tend to give in to appeals to authority.
