Socialism works so well that people build boats from trash to escape it. Socialism murdered 1 million people in the last century.

Socialism is great because people build boats made out of garbage to escape it.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. People build boats from trash to escape it.
