I am as patriotic as the next guy. However, I am going to set aside all the "Huzzah America".

Fact of the matter is, socialism sounds better. It sounds fair and it sound utopian.

However, it does not work.

Human nature is not perfect or utopian.

Socialism does not factor in the dark side of human nature, such as greed. Capitilism does.

In a Capatilist society, the citizens can be lead by their own wordly desires and pursue their wants.

In a Socialist society, the normal citizens can not. However, the country's leaders; the Mao Zedongs, the Stalins and the Castros can.

Capitilist country's leaders do the same. They follow the dollar to whatever destination it may lead them. However, they are bound by democratic and capitilist restraints.

Socialist society enable the people by promoting corruption.

If a socialist society could be run devinely, then perhaps it could work. But it won't...after all we are all human.

I disagree.

The leaders of those countries, how do they live?

Not nearly as meager as you describe.

Hence, if the leaders are living better than the common man?

How is everything equal?
