WATCH: Socialism Is About Control, Not Charity

Socialism does not achieve what it preaches, and instead represents a system of social control and centralized planning. In this episode of Crossroads, Donald Kendal, host of Heartland Institute’s “In the Tank” podcast, explains that even outside its economic failures, socialism is the top-down governance of a society that tramples minority rights, diversity in thought, and diversity in values.
