How Does the Second Law of Socialism Take Leftist Policies to the Socialism Point of Guaranteed Return and System Collapse?

The socialism point of guaranteed return emerges when socialist systems collapse and return to non-socialist approaches. Socialism removes human agency and the capacity for human progress and therefore always fails according to the zeroth law of socialism.

The first law of socialism requires crossing a threshold before realizing the failure has occurred. The second law of socialism holds that as a threshold has not been crossed people think more socialism is the answer. Embracing leftist policies by giving people free stuff and guaranteed income causes services to inflate in cost and degrade in quality because zero market force drives progress. The four biggest problems occur in housing in education in healthcare and in retirement systems. When government fails to provide good enough services the response is to demand more government healthcare more government housing more government education and more government stuff. Eventually a point is reached when the government cannot tax and cannot print to provide services effectively leading to the realization that socialism does not work.

The socialism point of guaranteed return is the moment when the whole system collapses and society returns back to the non-socialist state.
