meaning versus effect

A very important fact Karl Marx missed when writing Communist Manifesto is that people have an innate aspect of their personality, which causes one to help him/herself before others. It is much easier to look out for yourself before helping others, which is probably why helping others and caring for their needs over your own is viewed more honorable than being selfish. The failing aspect of Socialism or Communism is that not one person can make everyone's life perfect, or at least fair. He can try, but (as seen in a democracy) he needs the help of the men and women around him, who's lives he strives to help. A government, nor and other form of authority, can make an entire nations people happy. It takes each person to pitch in for the benefit of others to crate a happy environment. The pursuit of happiness is promised in America, and that is just it; the 'pursuit', not the actual happiness. One has the opportunity and will to become happy, but it is up to him to make that happen. A mother can spoil her child, but cannot ensure his or her happiness.
