Can We Survive the Coming Socialism?
American Thinker ^ | 14 Dec, 2020 | H.P. Smith

Posted on 12/14/2020 4:04:56 AM PST by MtnClimber

It’s looking pretty grim right now regarding President Trump’s chances of getting the four more years he deserves, and that he almost certainly would have received had the Democrats’ cheating game not gone to all time high levels. It’s also looking like justice and honesty are going to play a diminishing role in the United States for the foreseeable future, as evidently about forty or so percent of the country is perfectly comfortable with massive voter fraud and willing to participate in it, all because they wanted to have their own way.

With that, it also looks like we are on our way towards a pretty heavy dose of socialism as the Left is now emboldened by their brazen acts of fraud and encouraged by the fact that even SCOTUS does not seem willing to challenge their crimes. The Ocasio-Cortezes and Bernie Sanderses and Kamala Harrises of the world already have grand plans to take this country in the direction of Cuba and Venezuela, and now there will be very little to stand in their way... politically, anyway. We also know that the mainstream media will be eagerly willing participants, feeding us lie after lie, and Hollywood will pump out their own versions of the propaganda. Even as the country burns, they will celebrate how great things are now that evil Orange Man is not in the White House any longer.

With all the recent talk about viruses and vaccines, I started thinking about the disease that is socialism and what it would take for a country to survive it. Socialism has left a path of destruction in its wake everywhere it has been attempted. (I include communism in this discussion, since it is a close cousin of socialism, and has a similar murderous and miserable history).

How long will those voices you speak of be allowed to continue,if the normal pattern of Socialism takes place,those fighting it will be silenced one way or the other,Socialism is just one subway stop short of communism.
When the fraud of Socialism is realized,everyone is not actually equal then the enforcers show up and your done

We need to do the one thing this bunch is attempting to prevent, we need to hang together or we will assuredly hang separately, to quote Franklin. Identity politics can be defeated by focusing on the things you have in common rather than on the fringe hot button issues we are being encouraged to go to war with each other about.

Ask me 100 years from now. Today, I’d say No, but the future is uncertain and the end is near.

I am sorry, I had a plan that involved a large turnip.... It was cooked when the Socialist rioting started.

Most here have reflected enough to wear out 10 mirrors, reached out enough to have stripped the Olive tree trunk bare.

We have bent over enough to have out butts used as bike racks, and we understand that trying to reason with the weak minded and indoctrinated Left in our country is about as successful as trying to turn Socialist/Communist China into a republican twin sister Country.

In a perfect world we could achieve great things, it is not perfect, and Communism and Socialism are war plans for totalitarianism, they have Never Ever been about anything less.

Respects, but we are past hand holding. Past singing songs of joy, and way past thinking that what physical and propaganda efforts by the socialist/communist destroyers of our Republic are “ fringe hot button “ issues.

Time to resurrect the mantra from yesteryear - Better Dead than Red

I've always been more partial to "Better Dead IF Red".

The point isn’t to give us a working system. The point is to get everyone fighting amongst themselves. We aren’t the only thing on the menu, the “socialists” are too. If you wanted to attack a nation comprised of all the refugees who fled persecution in other places, job one would be to sow division by emphasizing racial and cultural differences. This is where we are today, with all kinds of fringe issues taking center stage and dominating public discourse. We need to reestablish common ground with people. That includes lefty people. We can work together on things like shelter, food, heat, and given that we spend the most per capita on healthcare (by a lot) while ranking 37th in what we get for all that money, there have got to be some big areas for improvement that we can all get behind.

Its actually pretty easy. If an issue polls at 20% then point that out and then ask a question about their opinion on an issue with much broader approval that is related to basic needs. If your lefties are like my lefties they will be much happier discussing an issue where their opinion is the majority view. That won’t work if you get someone who is aggrieved because they believe the world owes them a great deal of money/respect/recognition but that sort of person is probably a narcissist and is going to be the type of person most of us try to get away from rather than counting as friends.

The Entertainment industry is probably a total loss, so its best to just turn off the tv imo. These bastards know that they are driving people to drink but their answer is that we are the problem, not them. The problem goes away when you turn off the tv, so I say turn off the tv, don’t give them the ratings.

As we will become a province of China, there is only long tern survival. Protests will be put down. Protestors will be jailed, some disappeared.

Violent protestors aka patriots with arms will be hunted, there will be no mercy by the ruling CCP - if things are not going their way, not only will the patriots be exterminated, but their families and their towns.

Millions dead mean nothing to the CCP. Everyone knows how horrific the number of dead from the US Civil war was, but that number was just a rounding error in Chinese civil wars with up to 40,000,000 dead in one of them.

Can We Survive the Coming Socialism?

When one knowa the nature of somethig and the context, one can make predictions:

statist central planning + narrow statist political incentives and decisions + statist bureaucratic management + state ownership & state control + statist monopoly = shortages + economic chaos + destruction + inefficiencies + waste + malinvestment + capital decumulation = disaster & catastrophe & misery

Follow the Sanctuaries for illegal aliens model. Anything liberals mandate, reject it as a city or state. No need to secede, but make it illegal to cooperate with liberals in power. For example, Second Amendment Sanctuaries already exist.

Socialism has left a path of destruction in its wake everywhere it has been attempted.

Democrat party logic says it’s because the people haven’t embraced it but now they no longer have a choice.
