I do know that Jews loaned money to European governments and when those government didn’t want to pay the Jews back, they kicked them out of the country. That would explain why they don’t trust the government. The Jews were blamed for the black death because fewer of them died since they practiced Jewish health laws of cleaning the grain bins. That would explain why they don’t trust the “red necks.”

When they say socialism they mean OTHERS work hard while they take a cut.
Most if the time advocates of socialism do really believe in it.
They just want something for nothing.
Like barrack obama ..who barely worked a real job in his life..became president and rich off of other people money.
I seriously doubt he believe in socialism.

Excellent article. But it ended too abruptly. I was hoping to hear how present-day Israel is different.

I meant to say advocates of socialism do NOT really believe in socialism.
They believe in taking o.p.m.
and enriching themselves.

If I remember correctly, when the UN voted to make Israel a nation the USSR voted FOR it. But later they always supported the Arab nations.

It’s not enough to live under socialism. They have to kill any other system out there, so they can’t be shown up.

It’s about destroying our nation/Western Nations, nothing else.

Thankyou.

I wish I had mentioned politicians diverting money to cronies as well as welfare.

Ethanol is one of my pet peeves.
