" ..the consequence of socialism, and of left-wing public policy more generally, is gradual relative economic decline.
Take a prosperous country (or state or city), then put in place the progressive policy prescriptions, and wait twenty or thirty or forty years,
and you will find a place that has been passed by by all the competition."
But why would the people give governing leftists twenty or more years if they are running the place into the ground?
The answer is that great promises are made of infinite government resources to solve all human problems; and special favors are granted to strong interest groups
like government workers and labor unions and subsidized corporations, who return the favors with votes.
Economic decline continues, but slowly, and the only way to perceive it is to make comparisons with other countries."
Then how does a country recover ?
How do you make up for lost time ? ..productivity ?.. personal awareness and growth ?
..or do you succumb to the tyranny of the State and depend on the State to provide all your sustenance, food, housing,.. or are you just another slave on the State plantation ?
Your comments are valued,.. below !
The problem with that approach is we have 9 black robed lawyers deciding what is or isn’t Constitutional.
So there’s that.
L
I am of the opinion that once socialism takes hold, there are only two options-
Live as a slave to the state where freedom of speech / thought / religion / movement / commerce are oppressed
or
Fight the state in a violent civil war that ultimately destroys the society, forcing the citizens to first be self sufficient and then gradually rebuild through trade and then a new society forms.
And your race is targeted for elimination. This is Venezuela times Bosnia with rigged elections making change 2X impossible.
WIthout honest clean elections, there is not a ray of hope. None whatsoever, other than the military doing a coup against the commiepukers in DC which would result in terrible bloodshed.
That is, if President Trump does not come back fairly soon to his rightful position as the winner of the election. Which I am sure will happen.
Argentina-People with intelligence, inclination toward action, and the means to do so- got out. Ain’t really no where to go if America falls. Just try to be as self sufficient as possible. Prepare for the worst and pray for a better outcome.
