Where’s the evidence of that?
Third world, impoverished governments.
If a government can simply provide "whatever is needed" for the people - why is Africa so poor?
They have governments.
Nobody here experiences that. Until a Western nation truly suffers because of egalitarian policies, people will naturally think they work.

No disagreement there, man.
When all you've known your whole life is first world comfort, you're bound to have some really crazy ideas about how things work, and what you're entitled to.
Myself included.
But travel, poverty, and economic struggle have put my perspective a little closer to the truth than the Average American, I reckon.

Well, maybe it's time for us to appropriate "racist" and "white supremacist" the same way blacks took back the n-word.
"What's up, clansman?"
"Not much, my nazi".

It does not take much to become bleak when it comes to the future of the free economic and social order.
However, it would be rather shortsighted to get pessimistic.
Those who believe in Jesus Christ can trust that God will not fail them. If we cannot think of a solution to the problems at hand, the believers can trust God. Because “[e]ven in the darkest night, there is a bright light shining somewhere.”
Or: please remember the Enlightenment movement in the eighteenth century. At that time, the Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant explained the “unheard of” to the people, namely that there is such a thing as “autonomy of reason.”
It means that you and I have the indisputable right to lead our lives independently; that we should handle it according to self-imposed rules, rules that we determine ourselves based on good reason.
. . .
I want to close my interpretation with a quote from Samwise Gamgee, the loyal friend and companion of Frodo Baggins.
In a really hopeless situation, Sam says to Frodo: “There is something good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”
So if we want to fight for the good in this world, we know what we have to do: we have to fight for property and freedom and against the darkness that the state (as we know it today) wishes to bring upon us, especially with its fiat money.
In fact, we must fight steadfastly for a society of property and freedom!
