Of course. That's the inevitable result of all forms of socialism.
Explain this to the Scandinavians, They seem to be free and productive ... more so than many so called free-market types.
The scandinavian states are not socialists. They are free market societys with high taxes and a well developed wellfare-state.
Please explain that to Warren Dew. At the moment, I can't think of any truly socialist economies operating in the world. Venezuela and Cuba don't really qualify, and North Korea is a lot of things, but socialist it's not. China is now more capitalist than socialist, but you can argue that they are in the same (similar?) camp with the Scandinavians.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
