Do Liberals not realize that Socialism has caused more suffering than any other political theory known to man?

Socialism has been tried for centuries, and in not one single case, has Socialism ever worked,ever.Socialism is not only against religion, but against man's nature, and the nature of life in general, for why should we strive and thrive, when the property of our own labor shall not be our own?

    Really? For hundreds of years? Considering it was first put foward by Karl Marx in Das Kapital which was published in the 1850's, that seems pretty unlikely. And how is it against mans nature, is it against human nature to care for and help out those that are not as well off as you, I mean that is only what THE BIBLE says you should do?

    Liberals believe that mankind is basically good and is moving toward perfection. Even though Socialism has never worked before in the history of mankind, we are now more enlightened, evolved, and perfected. Now it will probably work.

    Conservitaves believe that that mankind is corrupted and that evil is real. The way mankind has behaved throughout history is a good indicator of how mankind will behave in the future.

    Apparently they're oblivious to it never working. Perhaps they don't care as they are elitists.
