What IS Socialism?

Many people don’t even know what socialism is, even though others are working hard to impose it upon us. My own SISTER didn’t know until I explained it to her, and she is now one of the most implacable enemies of socialism there is. It’s really very simple: there are TWO basic economic systems operating in the world: the FREE MARKET, and COLLECTIVISM. They are opposites in every way. You are operating yourself under one or the other, to dome degree, whether or not you know it. Under the free market, people are encouraged to “fend for themselves,” find a need and fill it, and therefore prosper on their own efforts. Under collectivism, they are encouraged to find someone operating under the free market who is prospering, and con him out of part of it, using “need” as a CLAIM on part of his earnings. Under collectivism, the GOVERNMENT does the conning, making LAWS and REGULATIONS to accomplish it, To do this, the government must con the free market people (the producer) into believing he has an OBLIGATION to give part of his earnings to the “collective.” To disguise themselves, they come up with all kinds of “aliases” hoping we won’t figure out they are one on the same, with only cosmetic differences.

Some of those “aliases” are socialism, communism, Fascism, and Progressivism, with Progressivism being a direct name for communism. There are others, too numerous to mention here. But these are the major ones. They keep telling us these names all mean something different, and are NOT collectivism. That’s a LIE. They ALL come from a simple saying that comes from Karl Marx, the “father of communism.” That saying is, “FROM each according to his ABILITY, and TO each according to his NEED.” This makes NEED a CLAIM on the EARNINGS of those capable and willing to PRODUCE new wealth. Collectivism, under none of its “aliases,” PRODUCES nothing. It is a LEECH on the production of the PRODUCER. Basically, it is THEFT of the PRODUCTION of those people. Communism (one of the “aliases”) was instituted in Russia and allowed to “run its course,” and it did. It only took 75 years for it to collapse when it could not compete with the free markets in other countries, such as America. In Germany and Italy, Fascism lost in a war.

But if they had not “gotten too big for their britches” and tried to take over the world, they would have eventually succumbed to the same thing that happened in Russia. The basic thing that will eventually kill ALL collectivist governments is lack of INCENTIVE to produce. Without that INCENTIVE, the government must FORCE people to do ANYTHING but TAKE from one another through the government. Dedicated communists say the reason communism failed in Russia is because they never got REAL communism. That’s just an excuse. They got as REAL a communism as they could impose, and it failed, as collectivism always will, eventually, when they run out of other people’s money. The basic thing you can draw from this is that without INCENTIVE to produce, people will NOT produce new wealth. That is the basic flaw in collectivism under whatever name it hides. Collectivism is BASED on the THEFT of earnings, taken from the PRODUCERS of new wealth, and that will NEVER work. Therefore, it is MORALLY wrong.

Meanwhile, President Barack Hussein Obama is trying his best to impose this failed philosophy (economic philosophy) upon this country. Everything he does is designed to “spread the wealth” (as he told ”Joe the Plumber” during his first election campaign). What he means to do is to TAKE from the wealthy (who have mostly EARNED their wealth) and GIVE that taken to those who will NOT earn for themselves. His “signature law, “ the “Affordable Care Act,” better known as :Obama’s Health Care Swindle,” is very simply “collectivism in disguise,” since it DEPENDS on the YOUNG buying health insurance they don’t need at inflated prices to pay for the higher health care needs (“NEEDS”) of older people. Without those young people buying into the program, the whole thing collapses. Everything else he does promotes collectivism in some way. Collectivism will never work, especially in this country, which was BUILT on the free market and the will to create new wealth (profit). It is the free market that allowed this country in several hundred years, to EXCEED the wealth of countries that have been in existence for THOUSANDS of years. Yet he wants to IMPOSE that “failed system” that has failed everywhere it has been tried, upon the freest, richest country in the world. (Just common sense)
