I did this last night with my 14 and 11 year old boys. I asked them for their definition of socialism, how many classes there are in socialism and what is the best deterrent to socialism.

They both had the basics of what socialism is, they both knew there are only two classes (rich and poor) and my oldest knew right off that a strong middle class is the best deterrent. The oldest is home schooled and the youngest goes to a public elementary school.

This excellent book should be turned into a documentary as it would open many eyes. I am just reading it now and recommend it to everyone. It's an outline of the Democrat playbook. I'm purchasing a copy for each of my children.

The Naked Communist lays out the entire graphic story of communism, its past, present, and future. And explains how socialism is a stepping stone to communism. He also explains that the ultimate aim of communism is a dictatorship.

Thank you for referencing that article Sean_Anthony. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Parents should also be teaching their kids about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood, especially the fed’s limited power to appropriate taxes.

A Rant: Can The US Be Forced Into Becoming a Socialist Democracy?

Today’s progressive[sic] seeks to alter the government to a socialist state, one where the authority in power directs (through regulation, taxation, fees, and decrees) the actions of both businesses and individual lives. Governing authority is provided by the government, the people are not willing to engage in the process. Money and transactions are controlled by the government and any wealth produced it distributed according to government edict.

Today’s conservative seeks to “conserve” the US as a republic, the representative form of democracy. Activities are controlled through the elected representatives at the behest of those that elected them; governing authority is vested in the people who willingly engage in the process. Money and transactions are controlled by those who have that money to transact. Any wealth produced is retained by those who best understand how to use it.

The US is/was formed as a constitutional republic and that Constitution is agreed to by the people of the several States of which they are a citizen. Among the primary articles of that very same Constitution is the 4th Article [4th Article in which we are all agreed] is the following language:

Section 4, Clause 1
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.

Seems to me that “Socialist Democracy” is a violation of the Constitution.

All through the 90s, when all my kids were the most impressionable, I read all the bios I could get my hands on about the Clintons. I don't remember ever having a big discussion with them about socialism, but every year, when they were getting ready for bed and Bill Clinton was doing his State of the Union address, I had them take their socks off and throw them at his face on the TV screen. We painted our den a few years back and I found four rolled up socks behind the TV/bookcase.

They got their instruction through osmosis from two parents who spoke to each other about important stuff in front of them.

Something of mine from another thread:

Everyone who is in love with the idea of “Democratic Socialism” thinks they will either be one of the Masterminds giving orders or allowed do nothing and have their every want provided for. What they don’t realize is they will be using picks and shovels to mine the heavy metals used to make solar panels or working a horse-drawn plow sixteen hours a day or hand digging the mass graves that are always the end result of such a Utopia.
