Observations on Socialism in the United States

by

       M. Richard Maxson

• For the past several decades, government public schools and nearly all colleges have touted Socialism’s principles of redistribution, racialism and class envy while declining to connect the dots between Socialism and tyranny, examples of which abound. American values are demonized as misguided so is it any wonder that so many young people have a rosy view of Socialism.

• This is a shocking development in the quarter of a century after the spectacular worldwide collapse of Socialism. It is the consequence of several decades of extreme political correctness in our educational system where Constitutionalists, who might have educated our young people about the reality of Socialism, have been so effectively censored.

• The main problems with Socialism is that it will destroy your economic future and your children’s future. It creates an unjust society where a small political elite enriches itself by imposing a regime of equality of poverty and misery on most everyone else. 

• Socialism has been associated with the worst crimes in human history.

• U.S., UK, And EU, Are Now Socialist semi-dictatorships There are various types of this, such as Communist (‘workers’ dictatorship), Fascist (corporate dictatorship), etc., but those are merely fine points on basically the same beast, and all variants of the Socialist beast have two classes of people: the aristocracy, who rule, and the public, who are ruled.

• The Socialist welfare state also harms the poor by destroying their work incentives, crowding out private charities, and causing family breakups where fathers are replaced by government checks; and it destroys personal freedoms by using governmental force in pursuit of “equality.”

• The system is not merely rigged; it is actively designed to suppress and repress those who reject subjugation by, and submission to, the liberal elite. They do not want us to be, nor do they have any intention of letting us be, free, unmolested, and active participants in our own governance. "They" know what is best for us.

• It has been demonstrated time and time again that a government-controlled Socialist media is not a free media. The ease with which the government would be able to censor or "edit" the news is a chilling prospect to imagine. We are suddenly finding ourselves in a world where free speech in the media is what they say it is and would first have to be “approved.”

• Socialism requires a gargantuan government so it can confiscate property, control behavior and manage an always growing list of programs to achieve “fairness and equality.”

• Socialism will take something from someone else who earned it and give it to you and in return, you will do what Socialists want you to do.

• You can go to college and you don’t have to pay for it! Someone else will give you a place to live, food stamps, welfare and health care! In return, you just have to give up on your pride, your dreams and control of your own life.

• Socialism is for slaves who are willing to give up their freedom for promises that they’ll be given some minimal level of support no matter what. On the other hand, capitalism is for people who want the freedom to rise or fall based on their own effort. 

• Socialism in this country is pushed forward by the Democratic party. There is no GOP leadership to stop the forward march of Socialism in the U.S.
