The test only proves that needy people will do whatever they need to do to get a better break. The real fallacy of communism is when Ivan who can assemble 50 widgets an hour sees the guy who can only assemble 30 widgets an hour get the same pay he does, Ivan takes it easy by assembling only 30 widgets and as a result, widgets are in short supply.

Great experiment! Of course some purists of the scientific method would disagree. The 'game' is a blunt instrument. It can be argued that there are too many independent variables. That's probably true, but 'social science' isn't really a science, it's a set of observations & weakly defensible conclusion.

The truest of morality is one's behavior in a situation where there is no penalty for dishonesty. Where, indeed, honesty may carry a penalty.

Uh, it all starts with ideology. Socialism is an ideology as much as anything else: it's elitism in disguise. The way you can tell it's a self-defeating ideology is that when it gets practiced, it ends up bankrupting the nation and/or creating a government class of elites.

Since when do commies ever speak the truth?
