Quote by Will Rogers

Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won't work.

Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won

Summary

This quote suggests that communism and prohibition, though well-intentioned ideas, ultimately fail in practice. Both communism and prohibition aim to address perceived societal problems - communism seeks to establish an equal and egalitarian society, while prohibition seeks to eliminate the negative effects of alcohol. However, the quote argues that these ideas are fundamentally flawed and unrealistic. It implies that despite their initial appeal, communism and prohibition are bound to fail due to human nature, economic challenges, or the inability to fully enforce and implement these systems.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.

A scrupulous writer in every sentence that he writes will ask himself. . . What am I trying to say? What words will express it?...And he probably asks himself. . . Could I put it more shortly? But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing open your mind and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you
