Communism wasn't invented by Karl Marx and socialism wasn't invented by Robert Owen. In her book The Discovery of Freedom: Man's Struggle against Authority (New York: Day, 1943), which came out a year before Serfdom, Rose Wilder Lane notes that for millennia, much of mankind lived in communistic and socialistic societies and as a result, stayed barely above the subsistence level and always on the verge of starvation should a calamity such as a drought occur. She contends that it was our Constitutional system established by the American Revolution that finally freed people to rise to their potential.

Rose Wilder Lane - wasn’t she Laura Ingalls Wilder’s daughter (of Little House in the Big Woods) fame?

All those systems, to me, are counterfeit Christianity, created to make a world order where there is no God.
