Frankly, I Give Up

I’ve been trying to make people see the dangers of collectivism since the sixties, to no avail. The ability of liberals to divert criticism is very effective. Now even a national news show (The Today Show) is celebrating a communist holiday, and I guarantee you that they have no idea of the significance of that. Or if they do it is a demonstration of just how successful the liberals have been in hiding the inequities of communism while pushing it on us under different names. The original “National Women’s Day” was used as a precursor to the takeover in Russia of the communists. And I have no doubt that today’s collectivists hope to do the same in America. Communism is just one of many forms of collectivism, right along with socialism, “democratic socialism,” Fascism, progressivism, and many others. All adhere to the same motto: “FROM each according to his ABILITY and TO each according to his NEED.” Making NEED a DEMAND upon the EARNINGS of others. This appeals to those who want to live at the expense of others without the bother of working to support themselves. And there are way too many of those people today in this country after many years of “conditioning” that “the world owes them a living.” It does not. But when I tell this to others, I either get a blank stare, or active opposition, depending on their IGNORANCE and the brainwashing to which they have been subjected from a very young age. Collectivism is coming to us. It’s only a matter of time. I just hope I am not alive to be forced to live under it. (The American Spectator)
