Socialism Rising

And I could not figure out why, if I were not watching the way the left pushes socialist ideas on us. They keep promising “free stuff,” and many of the young, lazy people who have been taught that this country “owes them a living,” see how they can live mostly at the expense of others, and they like it. They haven’t been alive long enough to understand the evil of somebody TAKING something from one taxpayer to GIVE it to another. And that’s what socialism is. They can tell you how great it is, all they want, but the unalterable fact is, It is a system that is BASED on THEFT from those capable and willing to EARN, to GIVE to those who are either incapable or unwilling to earn for themselves and want to steal from those who are able. The very motto of socialism (one form of collectivism) is, “FROM each according to his ABILITY, and TO each according to his NEED,” making need a DEMAND upon the earnings of others. People used to be able to recognize the evil embodied in socialism, but they have LOST that ability through the constant din about how great socialism is, while being taught socialist principles in schools and colleges by socialist-leaning teachers and professors. They are taught to think it is a great system, and they don’t know any better when voting time comes about. So they vote for it, and benefit from the labors of the “producers” of new wealth while doing nothing themselves. Communism is another form of collectivism, with only “cosmetic differences” to socialism, and it enslaved Russia for 75 years, before it predictably collapsed of its own weight, as all socialist governments do, but not until they have done their damage to the populace. (Just common sense)
