The founders of socialism

Karl Marx, publisher of “The Communist Manifesto,” which introduced the concept of socialism in 1848, was quoted as saying, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.”
Over the years, history has proven, time and again, socialism is a failing concept, one which will keep a society oppressed in poverty and depression.
But as Free State Patriot historian, Doug Smith, often says, “those ignorant of the past are destined to relive it.
Have we become so ignorant of history that we are destined to travel a path to ultimate demise?
Barack Obama laid the foundation during his reign.
The false narrative that Donald Trump is leading America down the wrong path, is the liberal argument to continue his work. And, amazingly, a growing portion of the Democrat Party, spanning 20 states, (mostly younger folks) are onboard with the premise.
Premise? For what goal?
Well, I’m glad you asked.
Phase 3 of Obama’s campaign promise to “fundamentally change America” into something unrecognizable to the free world.
How? Frankly, by waiting for enough older, more knowledgeable Americans to “die off” so they could begin strategically influencing an entire generation of naïve, younger voters that “Capitalism is bad” and “Socialism is good”.
Conspiracy theorist, you say?
In this case? Yep, absolutely. It’s called progressivism.
Understand, the progressive movement began generations ago, indoctrinating our youth, literally rewriting history, clouding their minds sufficiently to eventually morph America into a socialist society.
Senator Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist, was a young man when the crux of the movement began. U.S. Representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a doddering, young lightweight, wasn’t even a glimmer in someone’s eye.
But both are attempting to build a legacy by convincing Americans we have been on the wrong side of history for nearly 250 years.
Sanders and his ilk began decades ago. Cortez is simply operating from absolute ignorance.
But both are flirting dangerously with promoting a system that has proven to fail miserably. Beyond hating America, I can’t even begin to determine “motive”.
The capitalist government, under which we’ve prospered since our country’s inception, allows an economic and political system in which our nation’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. It’s literally been the catalyst for America being the exceptional nation we’ve become.
True socialists advocate a completely classless society, where the government controls all means of production and distribution of goods. Socialist believe the government knows best and everyone should be placed on a level playing field.
In other words, no competition, no incentive to achieve excellence or better ourselves in any way. It’s literally a method of reducing America to a third-world nation.
Socialism is redistribution. For these lunatics to succeed, it would mean “taking away” from Americans “that have” and “giving” to Americans that “don’t have”.
Here are a few precepts of a socialist state, as promoted by Saul Alinsky, an American “community organizer” and writer, as listed on a conservative website, Dawgman.com:
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. This enables government to increase taxes, producing more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend ourselves from the government. Work toward creating a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Control how our children are educated.
7) Media – Control the media.
8) Religion — Remove God from government and schools.
9) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Create an argument for taxing the rich to give to the poor.
Does any of this sound familiar? Community organizer? Government control of the people?
You bet it does! Right from the liberal playbook of the “anointed one” Barack Hussein Obama and his liberal minions.
Sadly, once again, liberal Democrats are working against America and for power over the people. It’s all about power.
In fact, every single step they take, be it, immigration, healthcare, taxes, military prowess, is toward having power over you and your life.
The only way for Capitalism to be defeated, is for Americans to allow ignorance of history to be perpetuated.
Stop the trend. Get educated. Educate your children. Learn how to debate the tenets of socialism.
And then vote accordingly.
