Is Socialism Misunderstood or Embraced?
The Clarksvillian ^ | 12/20/2021 | David Andrews

It’s not a very cleverly hidden agenda when the Democrat Party fights against Cubans fleeing communism for entry into the US for safe harbor and a future. Simultaneously, that same Democrat Party supports illegal immigration from countries throughout North and South America as they safely cross the open southern US border. This recurring specter of communism strategically hides, so even those that practice it won’t call it by name.

Saul Alinsky’s playbook, “Rules for Radicals,” teaches subversiveness by redefining words and vocabulary meanings.

For all the lip service President Brandon gives to our "democracy" being better (he'll never admit that are really a constitutional republic), he often comes across as being jealous of authoritarian regimes being able to act faster than our clunky checks-and-balances structure.

He brings this up often when he tries to pose our economy against Russia or China.

He is trying to use a thugocracy/pure democracy because he is frustrated by our constitutional republic.

He learned about our pesky constitution at the feet of Marxist Barry Soetoro who declared the Constitution as a "charter of negative liberties".

A passion for socialism is only that, a passion. In order to embrace it a whole lot of history must be ignored in favor of Candyland promises that have never come to pass because they can't.

Ludwig von Mises' Socialism is now one hundred years old. They should have listened to him.

Socialism serves two purposes:

1. It allows an oligarchy of narcissists to ‘be special’ while characterizing themselves as the saviors of all the little people.

2. It allows the envious and the lazy to take from those who work harder than them.

Charity, on the other hand, allows humanity to be what humanity should be; giving, and thankful, and provides for those who are truly deserving and in need.

The left doesn't like the concept of charity, because it cuts the narcissists out (ie they aren't needed), and it requires the envious and lazy to be thankful and to work towards being self-sufficient.

If you don't want to be responsible for your own life, and don't care about excelling socialism is very appealing.

socialism + statism = state ownership & control + universal wage and price controls + elimination of profits & private property & competition + central planning + political incentives + collectivist duty & altruistic sacrifice + government monopoly + bureaucratic management + mob rule + force/tyranny + slave labor & forced labor + terror & mass murder

= anarchy of production + economic chaos + inefficiency & waste + shortages + technological backwardness + misery/suffering for the masses + riches & aristocratic privilege & court society for the rulers/leaders

Socialism fails because it ignores human nature.
It fails to reward innovation and hard work.
It fails to pushing poor work.
It disallows competition.

Once people realize that it’s delivering a lower standard of living, and their advancement opportunities are limited, then the socialist government must resort to totalitarian tactics to avoid being overthrown. Thus socialism becomes a doorway to communist and totalitarian governments.
