Marxism and socialism

All Americans must understand that capitalism operates according to supply and demand as well as the drive to do well and make a profit. This is the incentive for people to strive to do well in an economic society. This has and always should reside in the hands of the American people who have invested and worked hard for the capital of production. Free-market enterprise nationwide and not a government intervention in any industry will keep America productive and competitive.

All Americans must understand that Marxism usually follows capitalism. This is when a new government might step in and transform a society to communism. Communism is characterized by imperfect implementations of collectivist principles. Usually the first thing that is implemented is a takeover of health care. President Reagan mentioned that in one of his speeches when he was in office.

All Americans must understand that socialism is a system of social organization that advocates the vesting of ownership and control by redistributing the means of production, capital and land. Americans who have worked hard in today’s society to become successful will have to share their wealth for the government to redistribute it.

Eventually, all blue-collar and white-collar workers in America will lose the incentive to continue working if the government will step in and force successful people to give up a good percentage of what they have earned. Before you know it, everyone will just want to sit around and collect government entitlements. It is getting that way now. Hard-working people are paying for those who are capable and the hard workers feel like they are fighting a losing battle.

American citizens should take pride in their country by registering to vote. In many elections, 30 percent or fewer of the registered voters go to vote. The remaining percentage that did not go to vote should not complain if they feel that this government has let them down. It is important that everyone should go to the polls to vote. Contact your government officials and let them know to vote against government health care and cap-and-trade. Tell these lawmakers to listen to their constituents. False promises are not what the people of America want to hear. God bless America.

The person that wrote this needs a new read of Carl Marx!! He is lost in the wilderness.

I think the person that wrote it would have done better to put it “marxism is intended to follow capitalism”. To be sure that was the intention, even if that is not how it seems to happen. It was also intended to be a singular world wide event and eventually exist without a government directing it at all. Marx was kinda dumb like that.
