The Siren Song of Socialism
New American Prophet ^ | August 7, 2025 | Dr. Jerry Newcombe

Posted on 08/07/2025 6:58:52 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

Picture a seven-year-old girl living under communism in the 1980s. Her dad brings her to a local grocery store in the Ukraine, their home, in the old Soviet Union. He tells her to look around at the store and memorize the scene. This was described to me in a radio interview a few years ago by Marina Medvin, a successful D.C. area attorney and writer for Townhall and Forbes. She was that little girl.

You love your socialist blog pimping, don’t you? Say, have you donated to FR yet?

The fastest and best cure for those who think Socialism is the answer is to send them to a Socialist country. I think Venezuela, Cuba, or Russia would be a good place to send them (all expenses paid...oneway). If you take the time to talk to one of these Leftist idiots, they know virtually nothing about Socialism, but have been told in school that it’s the answer to all social ills. History is strewn with the wreckage wreaked by Socialism, from New Harmony to modern-day Venezuela. Too bad these idiots aren’t smart enough to investigate it themselves.

How do you manage, Mr. American Capitalist?

We outsource production to a communist country called China.

And yet millions of Americans, including the young, fall prey to the siren song of socialism.

Socialism will always be popular with those who believe they can get something for nothing.

“Venezuela, Cuba, or Russia”

The United States has far better crop growing conditions than any of those countries.

For lots of 27-year-olds voting Democrat, their chance of owning a home in the USA is about the same as that of a 27-year-old in the CCCP.

Cuba had poverty under Batista.

He doesn't engage with Freepers. Proof of this.

The "reverend's" engagement with other Freepers.

Russia isn't socialist anymore...

Also, their grocery stores are packed full of anything you could want.

I read the article... It in no way advocates for socialism. In fact, it points out most of the flaws in socialism and why it does not, cannot, work.

I may be missing some history between you and the OP, but from just my observing this one thread, your statement seems off-base.

“Why would God allow all the suffering that the socialists and communists have imposed on this world—not to mention the total loss of religious freedom in such places?” I would answer: “So that we don’t go down that road again.” We pray New Yorkers won’t go down that road.

I'd bet everything I have that they will. Of course, most of the fools that will vote for Mamdani aren't even American citizens in the first place.

A lot of weird sh*t on this thread today. Must be personal problems getting acted out.

OP copies and pastes others’ work products, and claims them on his website. Rarely, very rarely does he write his own material.

I don’t know what “all rights reserved” by an original author means to you, but I don’t think it means what the Rev puts out and pimps here for eyeballs and clicks.

We are a socialist country.

So is all of Western Europe. So is Canada. So is Australia and New Zealand. So is Israel. So is most (all?) of the rest of the world.

You can pretend we aren't socialist. But our generous "safety net" would have been considered Communist the conservatives of the 1930s.

It’s definitely siren song. Makes one feel good. That and $3 will get you a cup of coffee.

The USA has color coded socialism. For white males in the USA, it's pure brutal capitalism with a dose of discrimination. Same with Asian men.

Blog pimps have long been held in poor regard, rightly so as most of them barely bother to elucidate on the topics and just rely on the work ofr others to gain clicks.

That is one issue...

My point was... This artical is anti-socialism, but a pro-socialism claim was erroneously made. Nothing more, nothing less was meant by me.
