What socialism does it makes children out of adults. Israel found out that immigrants from socialist countries like the Soviet Union had the hardest time adapting to freedom. Everything was done for them in the SU. They were treated like children and told what to do and when to do it. The free enterprise system demands that you act as an adult.

Spot on. David Horowitz would agree with you. He mentioned this in his book Radical Son. It's the "I am special", "I belong to something", "Look at how wonderful I am" attitude.

No. We belong to God and His laws, not earthly institutions. There is no Utopia, because ultimately, someone will decide that THEY are in charge and boy, what a sorry outcome that will be.

“What socialism does it makes children out of adults.”
With their consent.
Because it caters to the perpetually immature.
You know them, the ones that always want their mommy.

That’s the hook it sinks in the flesh of base desire:
to be “taken care of”,
to be released from grinding responsibility,
to escape real life and suckle in comfort,
asleep in mommy’s arms.

Israel is a socialist country, designed that way from the beginning. Their tax burden and government size increases every year.

I’m 81 years old and there isn’t enough time in a day to list all of the freedoms that have been lost since I was young.
