"The historical record on socialism is unambiguous: every attempt to implement it as a comprehensive economic system has resulted in economic stagnation and authoritarian rule. From the Soviet Union's gulags and famines to Venezuela's current collapse the pattern is consistent across different cultures time periods and implementations. The fundamental issue lies in socialism's reliance on central planning and the abolition of market price signals. Without market prices to coordinate economic activity socialist planners inevitably misallocate resources on a massive scale leading to shortages"

Politicians love counting jobs created by government programs it's visible measurable and makes for great photo ops. But they never mention the unseen jobs destroyed.

The French economist Bastiat called this the "broken window fallacy" we see the glazier employed to fix broken windows but miss the shoes or books that money could have bought"

"The Roman Empire's collapse offers a masterclass in how government spending and monetary debasement destroy civilizations. At its peak Rome's denarius contained 98% silver and facilitated trade across three continents. But as military expenses and bureaucratic bloat exploded emperors discovered the seductive poison of currency debasement. Nero began the systematic destruction by reducing silver content to 94% but the real carnage came later. By [---] AD the denarius contained just 5% silver - a 95% debasement that made Weimar Germany look restrained. Diocletian's price controls predictably"

"Lebanon's banking system was always a glorified Ponzi scheme propped up by central bank money printing and government promises. When you peg your currency to the dollar while running fiscal deficits that would make a drunken sailor blush collapse isn't a question of "if" but "when." The Lebanese people are now paying the price for decades of trusting politicians and central bankers who promised them something for nothing.
