Why America is Devolving Towards Absolute Government Control
Canada Free Press ^ | Sunday, April 15, 2012 | Kelly OConnell

The relentless encroachment of socialism upon America’s economic, cultural and governmental landscape is like a bad dream to most red-blooded Americans. When society changes it can seem like the ineluctable drift of evolution or chance. But in the case of America’s ongoing continued expansion of government powers, spiking taxes, and shrinking military, it’s all part of a planned elitist push into socialism. And one need not believe in secret conspiracies when contemplating this shift. In fact, for those paying attention, it was all outlined long ago by the Fabian Socialist society, and other groups such as the Frankfurt School, as explained below.

I. Basic Socialism: History & Dogma

Socialism is a European phenomenon, beginning after the French Revolution with writers from Paris and London forming the core. The definition of socialism is: “a centrally planned economy in which the government controls all means of production.” While most believe Karl Marx (1818-1883) was the father of socialism, he wrote very few specifics on the topic. In fact, one of Marx’s most signal shortcoming was his failure to describe his own working economic system. Instead, it was Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924), first leader of the new USSR who developed the theory in situ, according to the Library of Economics & Liberty. Lenin’s attempts at creating a profit-free economy was a spectacular failure, only bettered by Joseph Stalin’s larger failure.

“Chile or Panama come to mind. A friend of mine is moving to Chile.”

My thought is make the traitors move...this is our country.


I agree. It is our country.

My friend accepted a job. He’ll be back in a year.

That is not historically accurate. Russia was essentially founded in 862 as a loose aggregation of tribes brought under unified rule with a Viking (Rurik) invited in to be the central figure.

You must be thinking of the distortions brought in when the Mongols invaded Russia in 1240 and massacred millions of people. But this has nothing to do with the "character" of the Christian people you so blithely insult.

Start from 2012 and go back 100 or so years to get an up to date perspective on what has been going on in Russian government. It should have been clear I was not speaking to/about a Russia going back to 862AD or even 1240AD. Also my comments had nothing to do with Christian character outside of your inference so I didn’t insult anyone that understands what has been transpiring in this Nation. And by the way both of my parents immigrated to this Nation from Russia. I have always been proud as to my Russian heritage and personal abilities but not so much of It’s gulag mentality under Lenin and the communists that followed.

There were Fabians in both Wilson’s and FDR’s government.
