As we hear of the sad plot of the starving people of Greece, we should contemplate that the reason they are starving was in the first place Socialism. Although the story of Greece is more commonly spoken of, Zimbabwe had a similar issue on how Socialism turns out to be starvation. Marion L. Tupy stated in his article on Zimbabwe's Socialist Issue that "In 1999, Robert Mugabe, the 92-year-old Marxist dictator who came to power in 1980, embarked on a catastrophic “land reform” program. The program saw the nationalization of privately-held farmland and the expulsion of non-African farmers and businessmen. The result was a collapse of agricultural output... Thousands of Zimbabweans died of hunger and disease despite massive international help." Thus we see that when you take other people's money, the money eventually runs out. When there is no money left, the government either shuts down or prints millions more dollars, leading to hyperinflation. This leads to the price of food skyrocketing, which leaves the socialist country starving. Socialism should never be considered because you eventually run out of other people's money which leads to a path of starvation. America cannot elect those like Bernie Sanders to be our president who clearly does not see how his socialist ideals lead eventually to the downfall of our society.
