Socialism probably doesn't work*, but this is clearly not an example of that. This is just an example of hippy idealism and private charity not working out.

* it's a question of information and efficient allocation of resources

What a surprise there was "more taking than giving", and ultimately, "those who can't/won't pay" were no longer welcome. In fact, they hire a manager to escort people out.

In the USA, this was bound to happen. It's a capitalist jungle, so advertising that people could get stuff cheap or free was going to have these results. Capitalism is cutthroat. Socialism is having a social conscience. Conscience is regarded with suspicion in many quarters in America, unfortunately. Without it, you're pretty soul-less.

Honestly, I've heard of 'socialism in one country' but I've never encountered 'socialism in one shop'. It's beyond ridiculous to call this 'socialism'.

If this is 'socialism', what do you call the family, incidentally? Do you operate a contract-based market system in yours? Make your kids pay their way and downsize them if they aren't profitable? Contract out for better ones? Put in bids for the use of family assets?
 
This is not socialism. Socialism would be the Panera employees rising up and taking ownership of the company. The charismastic baker would then assert leadership over the workers, kill his rivals and then lead them to eradicate all the Subway, Jimmy John and Corner Bakery stores along with all their workers for good measure. They called the baker Che Panera.

The CIA will eventually take him out.

Or he'd introduce some "reforms" and reintroduce a market system just before retiring and being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Much later there'd be suspicion that the now semi-fascist Panera was now pulling the strings of the US President.

A legit chuckle from me this morning, thank you. 😀

Che Panera. Still laughing.

That being said, it's amazing what difference three little letters make. "Social Experiment" vs "Socialist Experiment".
 
what's with this rash of dummy accounts resurrected all, by quick inspection, the same sort of ignorant cumbucket that can't distinguish the simplest differences between socialism, fascism, communism, and capitalism?
