Mark and Sarah agree that the government should
do more to redistribute wealth evenly and Mark went on to say that the State
should own everything so people could learn to share everything equally.

You know, this may not be the answer that you’re
looking for, but, technically speaking, Socialism is a perfect system. It would
create a perfect system on earth if it could be implemented like it has been
created in concept. Of course, that is assuming one completely fatal flaw:
Humanity is basically good. We aren’t.
Because we, as Christians, know that all
of humanity has fallen and has been contaminated by sin, we can never truly
make the decisions that are necessary to ensure the success of socialism.
Humanity is far too self-focused and personally oriented to ever be able to
make a community system work. That’s why capitalism is so successful—it allows
us to fuel our own selfish desires with competition to become the best and the
most successful, and it works. Socialism can’t match that because it appeals
too much to basic human virtue rather than our greed and want for more.
So, to sum it up, socialism would be the
perfect system in a perfect world. We aren’t in a perfect world and we aren’t
perfect people, so a perfect system would be essentially flawed, as any attempt
at socialism today surely is. That’s why I believe socialism can never work,
plain and simple.
