Communism works great at the dinner table.

Your kids don't submit invoices for dinner. Nobody gets a bigger bedroom for generating more household GDP. If one kid gets sick, you don't run a cost-benefit analysis before taking care of them. Everybody contributes according to their ability and receives according to their needs — and it works, because it's small, you know each other, you love each other, and Mom and Dad know what's going on.

Socialism? There are things you're happy funding with your neighbors. But when it comes to organizing the productive energy of hundreds of millions of free people, give me markets, competition, property rights, entrepreneurship, and the freedom to succeed, fail, and try again.

Don't destroy the greatest prosperity-producing machine humanity has found because some people figured out how to game it. Fix the game. Enforce the rules. Punish the cheaters. Restore competition, accountability, and trust — then let builders build.

That's where communism and socialism make sense… and where they don't.
