It's what I call the Refrigerator Problem. Socialism works great with one refrigerator in a family.

But as the size of the cohort increases, soon enough, everyone starts in with "that's mine and you can't have it"

Look at these Nordic countries. They were exceedingly kind to many refugees, but now that load on the social network has increased - there is grumbling.

@tuban_muzuru @paninid Is that a problem with socialism scaling to a larger population, or a problem having socialism while other countries persist with less just economic systems?

Now this is just my theory, having done some consulting for USDA, an agency much loved by rural America.

There's a USDA outpost in every farming county in the USA. It's not some faceless bureaucracy in "Washington" - in truth it has a large and hugely motivated bureaucracy in Washington and St Louis, but for the farmers, it's as close as the USDA office in the county seat.

It's a perceptiom problem.
