The free market can be viewed as a river. Sometimes water is abundant and sometimes it's scarce. When water is abundant, more water is used, and there's waste. When water is scarce, less water is used, and there's death.

Socialism diverts the water, taking from some and giving to others. However, some need more water than others. So, this also results in death and waste.

Optimal policy controls the flow of water. So, there's neither too much nor too little water. Everyone thrives, because there's always sufficient water for everyone.

So, in the free market system, the strongest live; in the socialist system, the strongest die; and in the optimal system, everyone lives.

Of course, when a socialist system is imposed, the skilled and wealthy flee. We saw that in Castro's Cuba and Chavez's Venezuela (many moved to Florida). There are few skilled workers or wealthy people in North Korea. Russia locks-up rich people. The wealthy in China are the communist elites, who own the state corporations.

Moreover, I may add, the social-fiscal-religious conservatives moved to the suburbs, then the exburbs, then the rural areas, further away from the big cities. I wonder where they'll move next?
