Thread: Why Socialism Doesn't Work

Hold off on the barrage of questions, I'm trying to understand what you're saying first.

Here are two options

1: The grade a college looks at when deciding if it should accept a student or not are based on competition.

2: The grade a student achieves by completing any given amount of work assigned in a class are based on competition.

Obviously the grades are identical. An A is an A, a B is a B, etc. But I think competition applies to only one of those scenarios.

It looks like we are splitting hairs over the word "competition," and I am not sure why. It is not relevant to my analogy. My analogy addresses accomplishment and how taking away from it where it is earned and giving it where it is not earned hurts a system.

The questions I asked you are very relevant. Please answer when ready, "libertarian."
