The problem with socialism is that it punishes hard working individuals while rewarding those who are lazy. In a perfect world it would work. Everyone doing their part and contributing the greater good in a equal share. Reality though is that there are many individuals who will try to do as little as possible because they are going to get the same reward as everyone else. This passes the burden to hard working individuals who then have to pick up the extra slack but still receive the same reward as the person who did nothing. This causes resentment in the hard working individuals and then they start slacking off themselves because whats the point in working hard. This leads to an inevitable collapse of the system because it removes the incentive/reward for hard work.
