Blue, let me explain WHY socialism and communism brings poverty even IF it somehow worked out the way you want it to. You see, in those systems they are flawed because they try to make everyone economically equal. In such a society, why would someone decide to spend several years going in medical school to become a doctor, if they would still be equal to a person who dropped outta highschool and became a janitor? Why would anyone bother to take the risk to start a new business, if they know that every worker they hire get's an equal cut and say? Why bother trying to get ahead when the society you live in is DESIGNED to MAKE everyone equal?
With no motivation for anyone to try to excel and make the most of their life, things stagnate. Pretty soon, your society is filled with bottom of the barrel folks who just do the bare minimum because they know the society will keep everyone equal. There would be a severe lack of college level jobs like doctors, engineers, accountants, etc because why bother spending several years to get a job that won't make any better off then an easier job? Then, the government, will eventually run out of money to keep funding their social programs, since, with no one doing any high end jobs, or starting businesses, and most rich folks probably fleeing the country asap, the economy collapses and sh*t hits the fan.
Equality is something that sounds nice, sure, but it isn't as great as people think. People, are not equal. Some are smarter then others, some are stronger, some are more ambitious. They should all have equal chance and opportunity to do something, but you should not force equality onto them. That makes those who would excel feel no desire to even try.
Also, please note that when I speak of equality I am merely talking from a skill perspective, not a race or religion or any other matter.
Edit- Also, there are methods of expression that are not violent that I think should not be done(at least not in public). For example, I recall hearing of a woman who painted by putting paint balls in her lady bits or something. Would rather not have someone like that doing that in public
