These ideologies hold that you, as a citizen have rights granted by a government to which one is also beholden, and that one is thus entitled to wages and absolved of responsibility for your fellow man whether family, friend or neighbor. You can never be grateful for that to which you are entitled. You can never know the heart filling joy of giving something charitably that someone was already entitled to. Thus socialism and communism eliminate and negate the values of our Republic based on rights granted by God, and our government produces values including gratitude and charity foremost and also freedom from oppressive government control, personal responsibility, liberty and civil rights which are the true foundations of human happiness. Communism and socialism produce dependence, misery and resentment as well as avarice and cheating and greed. These value systems ensure resulting societal decay and death. They hold up the worst values as good. That is why they are wrong.
