    There is no such thing as “great on paper.”https://twitter.com/Ward37279177/status/1165809278663479298 …

    That’s what these types don’t understand. They are trying to do physics without factoring in gravity. Socialism on paper is great but doesn’t account for human nature in practice.Socialism and communism enables and protects bad actors that are in power. Cap’ weeds out bad players

        Capitalism is great on paper but leads to the degeneration of the family unit, nation and even the worth of the individual in his place within society. So I guess Id agree "works on paper" isn't a good goal post

        I think he meant that socialism appeals to the emotions of the people who lack the wisdom to see beyond its sentimental facade. Socialism is inherently immoral. It is theft, resentment, envy. It is misery seeking misery.

        A doctorate looks great on paper. In practice, however, they often seem less than impressive.

        "great on paper" is synonymous with, "in the absence of corruption"

        I always heard growing up, that "socialism works in theory". Then I grew up, and actually read the theory. It doesn't work in theory either.

        Except for the one fact it may convince leftists that are far gone. Opening salvo.

        I think there's a lot of things that look great on paper, ask any engineer whose idea didn't work out. Socialism just isn't one of them. Even in its utopian form, it still requires the individual to cede property rights and coercion at every step.
