The Soviet Union used food and energy to control the population. If a little village started to revolt, their food and electricity were magically cut off.
The Cold War has been over only for 30 yeas, yet, we’re falling right into the communist mechanisms again.
Who knew back then that Americans would beg for a Soviet style government that controls everything including what you can say and think.
“… (I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”Some Americans were thinking that way before the turn of the last century.
— Woodrow Wilson
