> “the goal of socialism is communism.” Socialism is an economic model that leads to a societal model that does one thing, controls the populace and turns its citizens into subjects. - Vladimir Lenin

> Quote to throw at those who say socialism is so great.

Careful: Lenin's quote is only the first six words (the part in the quote marks). Don't attribute West's excellent description to Lenin as well. Otherwise the object at which you throw the quote may throw it back at you. :-)

Thanks dayglored. I hadn’t caught that.

Ayn Rand grew up in USSR’s communism/socialism. She understands leftism (under all of its brand names) from her own experience.

“There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”

DNC = CPUSA

It’s not rocket science to grasp the evil of leftism....
