The reality and mechanics of socialism is towards the destruction of a societies middle class, the expansion of the lower class, and the creation of a gap between the lower and upper classes so that no vertical movement upwards from the bottom can be achieved .
You can see such a work in progress right here in the United States.
A successful thriving society is based on the efforts of achievers. Individuals who possess qualities of resourcefulness and self sufficiency. People who take responsibilty for themselves and their own well being. People, who by the very nature of their own being, raise society up along with themselves. The capital rewards of their efforts work to continue raising them up and keeping them up, and society alongside them. Hence capatalism.
Socialism comes into the picture and robs these achievers of their rewards, gives those rewards to those who did not rightfully achieve them. Such adds much difficulty in the achievers to achieve and hold themselves up. This makes it more difficult for society to remain aloft as well. Eventually the achievers get dissillusioned and fall back into the ranks of the non achievers, at which time society collapses, because there are not enough achievers to pay for the non achievers.
There is no right or wrong morality to this, just simple mechanics...but then again, robbery is a moral issue isnt it?
