Explain to your son what socialism is. Make him work by cleaning his room and the bathroom. When he’s done, pay him with 10 candies. Then immediately take away 7 candies and tell him they need to be shared with his brothers because he has too many.

Explain to your son what the free market is… Make him clean his room and pay him 12 candies. Then take 3 candies for the room, 1 for the bathroom, 2 for food, 1 for clothing, 1 for school, 1 for healthcare, and 1 for transport. Tell him that the 2 remaining candies must be handed over to you for safekeeping for his pension. Then tell him that if he doesn’t have enough, you can lend him another 5, and keep doing that for a few months until all his candies are gone. Once they’re gone, kick him out and tell him he’s a lazy bum who wants everything for free. If he asks for his savings back, laugh in his face, and if he protests, beat him up.
