And by the time I got to your last sentence, I was already thinking “Isn’t it interesting that ALL major wars of the 20th Century were presided over by 3 of the most “Progressive” Presidents of the 20 Century, Wilson, FDR and LBJ. Cut it or rationalize it any way you want, that’s a fact.
Now it doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people.
Fascism is a version of socialism where the government allows ownership of private property by individuals, but the government controls the use and disposal of the property. It is socialism de facto. Communism is socialism de jure. They are both variants of statism.
Wilson was a pointy-headed academic from the days when US academics all seemed to have an inferiority complex vis-a-vis European academics. He wanted so badly to be considered a member of the Frankfurt School. America’s Presidential proto-commie.
Obviously, America is not now a place of unrestricted free enterprise.....and that’s a big part of why we’re in the mess we are in!
One town in my county demanded a yogurt shop have a grease trap! The zoning board has stopped three businesses known by me from expanding. This same town got into the high speed ISP business and lost $14,000,000 before it got out of it. The Historical (hysterical) Commission is incessantly harassing downtown businesses and homeowners over trivialities.
Woodrow Wilson was a notorious fuzzy-thinking pseudo-intellectual who should have been in academia, where he would have been confined to abusing the unformed minds of adolescents.
WW’s use of the word “THEY” is very revealing....
Semper Watching!
