It's too early to say that the country has been lost. This is like giving up right after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

We haven't even begun to fight back.

As an aside, socialism hasn't taken over countries as you suggest. What has actually happened is that tyrants have used the ideology of socialism/communism as a means for gaining the reins of power in many countries. It is a tool for establishing a dictatorship or totalitarian government. But once that dictatorship gains power, the use of socialism/communism as a system of government always quickly proves to be clumsy and unworkable.

Socialism/communism is a failed ideology.

It doesn't work because socialism or communism is actually nothing but collectivism.

Let's call collectivism what it is. It is a cult in which all individual identities (even separate groups like families) are wiped out and outlawed in favor of the whole of society. By eliminating individualism, the collective removes all the contributions that we all make when permitted to be individuals. By eliminating individualism, the collective removes all concepts of merit. In the collective, there is no motivation for achievement, success, invention, creation, art, improvement, etc.

In a collective, there is no hope.

Collectivism is nothing but a giant committee and when have any of us seen a committee accomplish anything worthwhile?

Committees cannot create, invent, discover, or even improve. All committees do is control.

Now, all that said, I should insert a giant caveat. Socialism/communism can be sold to a large chunk of any population because its unattractive features can be hidden and its advantages promoted. After all, free stuff sounds appealing. Socialism sounds great when everyone hears only that we all get a big prize for merely participating...and there is no downside.

So keeping in mind that socialism is being used (however deceitfully) as a tool by someone to establish a dictatorship, let's rethink our current situation.

Some army is using a weak but speciously-appealing ideology to establish a totalitarian government in our country. But at this point, we don't even know who that is. So, before we start to fight, we have to clearly identify and define that enemy. We know that our enemy includes all those indoctrinated zombies that are now aligned against us, but we don't know who it is who is pushing this indoctrination. We need to know our enemy's strengths and weaknesses. We need to define the "head of the snake" that needs to be chopped off.

And for ourselves, we need to become a unified force and that requires a leader who best understands the enemy we face.

IMO that leader would be Trump.

I'm no longer too concerned about economic systems (socialism vs. capitalism). I'm more concerned about...

1. Anti-Christian bigotry, and

2. Anti-white racism.

If America becomes hostile to white Christians, I no longer care about its economic system.

I'd rather live in a socialist country that welcomes white Christians, than a capitalist country that reviles white Christians.

“It’s too early to say that the country has been lost.”

At the beginning of Charlie Kirk’s show on RAV yesterday he was reading emails from GA people who refused to vote in Tuesday’s election. “Why bother?” “They cheat.” “We gave up.” Etc.
