Sort of true but it all goes to "ISMS" running afoul of Mother Nature (or at least human nature)

Communism expects everyone to work for the greater good of the whole but people are pretty much stuck on looking out for #1.

Similarly Capitalism fails because so many people are simply greedy. Wall Street Ponzi schemes, tax breaks for the wealthy, mortgage tools intended only for personal gain.
While Buffet & Bill and Melinda might be putting their wealth to work there are a few thousand millionaires more interested in Swiss banking than their fellow man.

There should be reward for risk but there should also be food, healthcare and dignity.
