I recommend Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom”. He clearly elucidates the inexorable dynamics of statism.
...and I would suggest “The Naked Communist” by Skousen, to tell you how far your enemies are willing to, and will go in the pursuit of power and domination of their fellow man. Though no one seems to be willing to call them what they really are, servants of Satan, and enemies of God and man, right down to the individual members of the Democrat Party. There, I said it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should be required reading for anyone who spends much time on FR.
I keep an insightful passage on the similarities between Nazis, Communists and Socialists on my FR profile page. Its the 3rd one down, 2 paragraphs.
