How Socialism, Really Communism, Actually Works
Various euphemisms are used to describe the left-wing
movement that has taken over our country. – “Progressivism”, “Democratic Socialism”,
“Social Justice”, “Green New Deal”, “Black Lives Matter”, are all heard,
instead of plain old socialism, or Marxism, or really the underpinning of the
movement, Marxist based, - COMMUNISM.
Socialism/communism always starts out with
dissatisfaction of the status quo, and with idealistic promises for the
future. Everyone, including those not willing to work, are entitled to
“free stuff”, particularly those that are deemed to have been culturally or
economically denied in the past. This includes free health care, free
abortion, free education and a myriad of other free social services, including
a guaranteed job and minimum wage.
How are these all to be paid for? Why, by increased
taxation, of course, coupled with a redistribution of wealth from the
capitalist “fat cats”, who are exhorted to “pay their fair share”, even though
their wealth derives from long histories of paying their fair share of taxes.
In other words, socialism/communism proposes to penalize the wealthy innovators
to provide “free stuff” to everybody else, including those who are truly idlers
in society.
Obviously, this does not come naturally, so other means
are necessary to enforce what leftist leaders deem best for society.
It is absolutely essential to take the guns away and
disarm everyone.
Speech disagreeing with “politically correct” social
justice mundanity must be curtailed and termed as fascist or “racist”, or “white
supremist”.
Laws against emigration and movement by wealthy people
and companies need to be enacted.
Stronger government, and erosion/cancellation of
individual and civil rights must lead the body politic toward totalitarianism
and away from any remnants of democracy.
These drastic measures are necessary because taxation can
only go so far. Confiscation requires a strong, dictatorial
government. Both socialism & communism require a commitment to the
use of force. You cannot decide what to do with the other person’s money
unless you are committed to use force to
take that money away from him.
All socialist programs are mandatory. This is
the reality of socialism/communism — a pseudo-religion grounded in
pseudo-science and enforced by political tyranny.
So, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see why
socialism never works in the long term, and always leads to the Maduros,
Stalins, Maos, Castros and other dictatorial butchers, and to the deaths of
over 120 million of their own people in the 20th century. Alternatively,
socialism/communism morphs into market-oriented dictatorships like China, Vietnam
and Laos.
And yet socialism/communism is no longer a parlor game
for academics but a political alternative taken seriously by millennials and
other thinkers, who don’t recognize that much of what they enjoy in life is a
result of free market capitalism and would disappear if socialism were to be
implemented. We can maybe excuse AOC’s naiveté because of youth and
inexperience. How do we excuse people like Bernie, Markey, Krugman, Reich
and others who should know better?
It is obvious that Joe Biden and his handlers do not know
any better. They have imposed fascistic
Marxist rules, mostly by unlawful executive orders, that are stifling our
society, and our economy.
They have passed a trillion-dollar infrastructure bill,
and are trying to pass another multi-trillion social spending bill in the face
of obviously increasing inflation.
They have crippled our energy industry, from self-sufficiency,
to begging OPEC to increase production.
Gasoline prices have doubled, in some cases, has have propane and home
heating oil. They have effectively
ruined the coal industry even more.
They have botched Covid vaccination efforts by insisting
on federal government mandates, rather than science, medicine and our
federalist system.
They have created a disastrous, open, southern border,
destroying our sovereignty, and allowing unchecked Covid, illegal drugs
including Fentanyl, and human trafficking.
They have stranded hundreds of Americans and thousands of
green card holders in Afghanistan, to the mercies of the brutal, seventh
century Taliban.
They have introduced Marxist based Critical Race Theory
in our schools to indoctrinate students in race divisions, in place of class
divisions, to promote Marxist race/class warfare.
They have instituted and back “wokeness”, cancel culture,
doxing, violence in our streets, and defunding/denigrating our police, in the
Marxist quest to tear down our capitalist society, and replace it with a
socialist/communist society.
This, and much more, is happening right now, folks, -
during the ten months of Biden’s administration. These “progressives”, or “Democratic
Socialists”, or “Green New Dealers”, are really COMMUNISTS, in disguise. It is pretty evident that if we let them
continue, this country will go the way of another wealthy, free country,
Venezuela, which is now essentially a failed state because of
socialism/communism.
