I've always liked this one:
You can VOTE your way into SOCIALISM
But you'll have to SHOOT your way BACK OUT.
I love this Country, and would never advocate the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic's government by force.

But God Bless the wisdom of the Founders for the Second Amendment, if Socialism manages to subvert our Constitutional Republic and it is left to us to win it back.

> Remember boy's & girl's, socialism is so great that it alway's voted into existence, but to get rid of it, is when the SHOOTING START'S.

Indeed.

I didn't see your comment when I posted mine at #21, but it's the same idea.

Leftism is ALL about control: of people, of property, of power.

Bezos and Zuckerberg are both leftists - and they want control of all the money for themselves.

With and without their declared aim for socialism, the Leftist dirtbags are indeed control freaks.

I’ve been using those exact words for years ...control freaks ...

It's fun but not all that productive to demonize them. They are their own worst enemy. All we have to do is give leftists everything they ask for and our leftist problem self corrects. Fortunately most leftists are highly concentrated in cities so this is possible. The relatively recent technology of high rise steel and concrete cities had it's run but now is declining in economic importance. We can let leftism self-destruct and die off as a failed experiment and not even notice.

" Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy" - Churchill

Which might be mildly acceptable IF it worked... but it doesn't...

Not the philosophy but the religion along with achieving SOCIAL JUSTICE.

“The issue with those who espouse socialism is that they believe that “they” will be one at the top, making all the decisions.”

They are the ones who promote socialism by running for office and voting for socialism as legislators but there are far too many who vote for it in elections because they think they are “cool” and super smart when, in reality, they are simply too lazy to think things through. To anyone who will listen with an open mind I can explain in five minutes or less why socialism can in practice result only in misery of the worst sort. The same goes for unlimited democracy which results in the same misery.
