Socialism is Like Communism Used to Be

People ridicule you for being concerned about it. One of the most famous ridicules of anti-communists who were trying to "wake up America" is, "He sees communists under every bed." Meanwhile, communists WERE "under every bed." When all was done, the "anti-communists" were proven right. Communists were EVERYWHERE. They were in the bureaucracy, they were in elected office, they were in our schools, our colleges, literally everywhere. The only thing that saved us was the collapse of communism in Russia, their biggest "success story," which survived for 75 years. They now want us to think "communism is dead." So we'll "go back to sleep." The then Soviet Premier said as much in a speech before their "ruling body." He told them not to be concerned at what's going to happen (Peristrioka), it's just a scam to make the Americans "go to sleep." And it is working. America IS mostly "asleep" when it comes to SOCIALISM, which is just one more style of collectivism. Many people don't even know what socialism IS. People are today ridiculing people who "fear the word socialism," as if "the word" was all there was to it. But it's not. Socialism is just a name for something that if it ever gains total control over this country, we'll ALL suffer. The bureaucrats will tell us everything we can do, and if we don't, they'll punish us.

They will CONTROL everything we used to own, without buying it from us. They'll simply TAKE it. How we have remained relatively "free" this long, I don't know, because Americans are so smug, they don't think it's possible for people to take away their freedom. Meanwhile, socialists are "working feverishly" to do just that. And they're succeeding. There ARE numerous communist governments left. Cuba is one, though it is on ITS "last legs." China is another, although it is growing fast, due to its government's embracing capitalism for its dealings with other countries. Venezuela is another, and is still prospering after Hugo Chavez' "nationalizing" (stealing) its oil industry. There are many more, and while they survive while looting the rest, they're dangerous. If Obama gets elected president in America, and Democrats gain enough seats to have a "filibuster-proof" Congress, we'll move even faster toward complete socialism in our government. I'm old. So I won't have to live through much of it (I hope). But my children and grandchildren, and theirs will, and I don't want that. (Just common sense)
