The Socialist Cycle:
1.Promise “free everything” for everyone
⬇️
2.Raise taxes to fund it
⬇️
3.Productivity drops as workers realize effort ≠ reward
⬇️
4.Shortages begin (but not for government elites)
⬇️
5.Blame capitalism, despite no one producing anything
⬇️
6.Economy collapses, call it “not real socialism”
