Animal Farm: Socialism Under A Socialist Government

Socialism

Under a socialist government, the controlling of property is a responsibility of the society as a whole. People have no way of independent actions due to being shepherded by the government. Lack of independence ruptures the efficacy of the human mind. Collectivism is the base of socialism, and when collectivism is enabled, socialism becomes possible.

Socialism claims that it will give its people security in return for their sovereignty. In reality, it never works. Socialist programs end up taking anything they can get their filthy, selfish hands on, and in return they relinquish
