Socialism is evil

supposedly if you ask the question, What is liberty? And make people choose A) the freedom to do what you want or B) freedom from restraints

Conservatives generalyl choose B and Liberals generally choose A. Because that is how they define it in their minds.

"Of course here I am drawing a distinction between "liberals" and true socialists or leftists who do actually have political principles, the principles of socialism."

- as your tag line says, many Democrats are heard animals. Most of them know not what they do.

The absolute worst kind are those that know the results of liberalims/socialism but still politik in it for political gain. These people are scum.

As a little girl, I was shocked when I first learned what a foreclosed home was...even worse, that the gov’t sold it back to the public and there are actually ppl who want to buy these properties and not feel the least bit uncomfortable living in them knowing that the poor ppl/family who just lost their home are in a devastating situation right now.

Now, I am 23 years old and I am feeling troubled about applying for food stamps which my parents are pressing on me about. I refused to make an immediate decision and insisted that I do a little more research first to see just what food stamps are and how God feels about them.

I have only been a born-again Christian for about 2-3 years, and recently got baptized into the Seventh-Day Adventist Church last October. Prior to that, I was an atheist and not the least bit spiritual in any sense. Thus, I am sincerely trying to find out what the right thing to do is, in God’s eyes, and not doing something just because of tradition, peer pressure, biases, etc.

This was a beautiful response you wrote to the article...Thank you...I feel a bit better now that there are still people who asks themselves what God thinks before making a self-gratifying or self-proclaimed decision on government-related issues.

Please keep in touch with me, I would love to speak to you more on this. God bless.

Yes, socialism is evil! Communism is also evil! Fascism, which is socialism, is also evil! The article on Socialism is Evil, is excellent, though I am adding to it a bit wider horizon: Capitalism is also evil! We need to look at South America and see what it had done there as well as in some other places around the Globe. Therefore, we must add to our thinking and analyses the universal approach or virtue, which will place human relationships into the proper and desired position. That virtue is morality!
The morality is always proportional to the quality of the social and every other human relationship. Therefore, those societies that have achieved high living standards are always those that were moral societies. Therefore, our conclusion, looking at the map of our world, must be obvious that the highest standard of living had been and still is in the so-called western hemisphere. Why? Because the majority of its citizens, at one point in time, had personally adopted a (world)view that there must be a just, living, personal, and above all good, full of beauty Being on High, which rewards those who love Him/God because they believe that He loved them first. Therefore, the aftermath of this kind of life’s philosophy is and has been a cleaner and more just society. In conclusion, it is not just the system but it is a perception of this kind that when translated into deeds, gives, very much, the desired results.

NOTE: The Standard of Living, of course is measured by the quality of interrelationships like solidarity, compassion, dignity, love etc. However, the inevitable result of this kind of behavior is less crime, better health conditions of individuals and of course, the economical improvement, which may lead to affluence.

Although a democrat is not necessarily a socialist, they are leaning more in that direction all the time, actually i guess i considered my self a democrat in my younger days.

Back then it was ignorance, now i would be ashamed to call my self a democrat simply because it is a republic that was set up, not a democracy.

I hope i am wrong but i do not see it getting anything but worse and i doubt if most of the younger generation will even see it because it has not happened over night.

It will take a great disaster to get any ones attention, people will have to be starving to death and dropping like flies before they will realize the Government can not take care of them.
