The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money

Socialism as a form of government that continuously expropriates private capital until all the industry in the country has been nationalized (or until the country’s economy has been run into the ground, whichever comes first).

Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people’s money. It’s quite a characteristic of them. They then start to nationalise everything, and people just do not like more and more nationalisation, and they’re now trying to control everything by other means. They’re progressively reducing the choice available to ordinary people.
