Why Liberalism Sucks

This occurred in Sweden, but it wouldn't surprise me a bit had it happened here in the US. In fact, I can virtually guarantee that it will happen before long (assuming it hasn't already) -

A talented head cook at a school in central Sweden has been told to stop baking fresh bread and to cut back on her wide-ranging veggie buffets because it was unfair that students at other schools didn't have access to the unusually tasty offerings.


The municipality has ordered Eriksson to bring it down a notch since other schools do not receive the same calibre of food - and that is "unfair".


Moreover, the food on offer at the school doesn't comply with the directives of a local healthy diet scheme which was initiated in 2011, according to the municipality.


In case you missed the point of the news excerpt above, I'll explain. Liberalism and Socialism suck in this instance for the same reason they suck in every instance when applied. Instead of celebrating excellence and encouraging others to emulate success and rise to the highest level that they can reach - they strive to achieve "equity" by dragging people down to the lowest common denominator in a quest for "fairness".

Who is better off than they were before this happened? Are the schools that robotically follow the school lunch master plan better off now that the thoughtful, caring school lunch lady no longer provides excellent service at the school where she works?

Of course they aren't. Instead of looking at the anomaly of this one school and trying follow their example by stepping up the game at the other schools, its much easier to just smack the good school down to the level of everyone else.
