The process is simple: Socialists (Donks in the US, same thing) get in power through some crisis real or imagined, usually with the help of the media. They then create poverty and offer govt “assistance” and “wealth redistributin” to buy votes. This results in more poverty because of the necessary taxation to fund the hand-outs and the dependency the handouts create, locking in a majority impoverished voter base. This viscous cycle ensures that the donks’ power base becomes unassailable, all while the “leaders” live large.
Been happening at the city level for decades and at the state level for many years, eg, California, Michigan, New York, and more recently Ohio.
And now it’s happening at the fewderal level.
This cycle is very hard to break. That is, until the govt runs out of other people’s money. See the above list of states for current examples, and see the fall of the USSR and its client governments in Eastern Europe for international examples. At that point, the people revolt: The dependent because their handouts stop; the productive because they have been ruined.
This revolt can take place at the ballot box, but corrupt entrenched socialists rarely let go of their power just because of voters. They either ignore the vote or corrupt it (ACORN anyone?) That leaves tyranny or actual revolt as the only possible outcomes. World history abounds with examples of both.
We still have time for revolt at the ballot box. Hopefully that’s the path America will take.
Nice analysis.
