They, of course, became the mothers and fathers of the first Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"link-0\">The Common Property Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first few years of the settlement were fraught with hardship and hunger. Four centuries later, they also provide us with one of history\u2019s most decisive verdicts on the critical importance of private property. We should never forget that the Plymouth colony was headed straight for oblivion under a communal, socialist plan but saved itself when it embraced something very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the diary of the colony\u2019s first governor, William Bradford, we can read about the settlers&#8217; initial arrangement: Land was held in common. Crops were brought to a common storehouse and distributed equally. For two years, every person had to work for everybody else (the community), not for themselves as individuals or families. Did they live happily ever after in this socialist utopia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going to give a prayerful thanks for private property and the profit motive that has made abundance possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><\/li><li><\/li><li><\/li><li><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardly. The \u201ccommon property\u201d approach killed off about half the settlers. Governor Bradford recorded in his diary that everybody was happy to claim their equal share of production, but production only shrank. Slackers showed up late for work in the fields, and the hard workers resented it. It\u2019s called \u201chuman nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disincentives of the socialist scheme bred impoverishment and conflict until, facing starvation and extinction, Bradford altered the system. He divided common property into private plots, and the new owners could produce what they wanted and then keep or trade it freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communal socialist failure was transformed into private property\/capitalist success, something that\u2019s happened so often historically it\u2019s almost monotonous. The \u201cpeople over profits\u201d mentality produced fewer people until profit\u2014earned as a result of one\u2019s care for his own property and his desire for improvement\u2014saved the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"link-1\">Socialism Destroys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the centuries, socialism has crash-landed into lamentable bits and pieces too many times to keep count\u2014no matter what shade of it you pick: central planning, welfare statism, or government ownership of the means of production. Then some measure of free markets and private property turned the wreckage into progress. I know of no instance in history when the reverse was true\u2014that is, when free markets and private property produced a disaster that was cured by socialism. None.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few of the many examples that echo the Pilgrims\u2019 experience include&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/lemonade-from-lemons\/\">Germany<\/a>&nbsp;after World War II,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/the-man-behind-the-hong-kong-miracle\/\">Hong Kong<\/a>&nbsp;after Japanese occupation,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mackinac.org\/V1997-14\">New Zealand<\/a>&nbsp;in the 1980s,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/times-herald.com\/news\/2019\/09\/dont-call-scandinavian-countries-socialist\">Scandinavia<\/a>&nbsp;in recent decades, and even Lenin\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/soviet-admissions-communism-doesnt-work\/\">New Economic Policy<\/a>&nbsp;of the 1920s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socialism flops even when it\u2019s the \u201cpretend\u201d or \u201cvoluntary\u201d variety. Imagine the odds against it succeeding when it\u2019s compulsory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><\/li><li><\/li><li><\/li><li><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Two hundred years after the Pilgrims, the Scottish cotton magnate Robert Owen thought he\u2019d give socialism another spin, this time in New Harmony, Indiana. There he established a community he hoped would transcend such \u201cevils\u201d as individualism and self-interest. Everybody would be economically equal in an altruistic, fairy-tale society. It collapsed utterly within just two years, just like all the other \u201cOwenite\u201d communes it briefly inspired. Fortunately, because Owen didn\u2019t have guns and armies to glue it together, people just walked away from New Harmony in disgust. They learned from socialism, even if today\u2019s socialists don\u2019t. You can read all about it in this splendid 1976&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/robert-owen-the-woolly-minded-cotton-spinner\/\">article<\/a>&nbsp;by Melvin D. Barger, \u201cRobert Owen: The Wooly Minded Cotton Spinner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socialism flops even when it\u2019s the \u201cpretend\u201d or \u201cvoluntary\u201d variety. Imagine the odds against it succeeding when it\u2019s compulsory! The use of force prolongs the agony but doesn\u2019t breed any less bitterness, resentment, or decline. It magnifies the calamity, in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"link-2\">Be Thankful for the Profit Motive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider this as you feast at the Thanksgiving table this week: The people who raised the turkey didn\u2019t do so because they wanted to help you out. The others who grew the cranberries and the yams didn\u2019t go to the trouble and expense out of some altruistic impulse or because of some nebulous \u201csharing\u201d fantasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacrificial rituals, even if they make you feel good, rarely bake a bigger pie. Charity is laudable, and I engage in it, too, but it\u2019s not an engine of production or prosperity. For that, you need profit, incentive, and private property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When God instilled a measure of peaceful, productive self-interest into the human mind, he knew what he was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><\/li><li><\/li><li><\/li><li><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In North Korea and Venezuela, socialist regimes work to see that almost nobody makes a profit or owns a private business. There won\u2019t be anything like widespread Thanksgiving dinners in either country this week, and that\u2019s no coincidence. I wonder if that lesson is still taught in schools these days; polls that suggest young people are attracted to socialism suggest maybe it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be offering gratitude for more than just good food on Thanksgiving Day. I\u2019m going to give a prayerful thanks for private property and the profit motive that has made abundance possible. When God instilled a measure of peaceful, productive self-interest into the human mind, he knew what he was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For additional information, see:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/resources\/the-xyz-s-of-socialism\/\"><em>The XYZs of Socialism<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/how-venezuelans-can-recover-from-the-sickness-of-socialism\/\">How Venezuelans Can Recover from the Sickness of Socialism<\/a>&#8220;<\/li><li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/5-ideas-at-the-heart-of-socialism\/\">Five Ideas at the Heart of Socialism<\/a>&#8220;<\/li><li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/where-are-the-omelets\/\">Where are the Omelets?<\/a>&#8220;<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why the Pilgrims Abandoned Common Ownership for Private Property &#8211; Foundation for Economic Education (fee.org) Why the Pilgrims Abandoned Common Ownership for Private Property The first few years of Plymouth colony were fraught with hardship and hunger.
