The desire for socialism in the U.S. began with the Children of the '60s. They started a revolution of irresponsibility, excesses, dependency, and the decay of social order that changed every element of our culture. They became progressives who want government and economic reform and liberals who want political and social reform.
These two movements run in the same circles under the umbrella of the Democrat Party that strongly advocates socialism and its ideologies of equality, equity and diversity. Many Democrats don't think of themselves as socialist because they have been led to believe that democracy and socialism can exist side-by-side. They call themselves Democratic Socialists.
But Democracy and Socialism are two different concepts. In a Democracy the people make decisions and set the rules for their country, society, and associations. In Socialism the government makes the decisions and sets the rules.
Democracy demands a higher level of intelligence than socialism to make prosperous decisions and achieve individual success. But here we are in the 21st century with an alarming 54 percent of adults 16-74 years old illiterate below a 6th grade level and 85 percent of that group are actually illiterate below a 3rd grade level. One out of five people cannot read.
Socialism is the opposite of capitalism. Socialism advocates shared ownership, equality of income and wealth, and a government that controls production and resources. Capitalism provides private ownership, competition, individual choice, and minimal government intervention. These two systems cannot exist under the same roof.
Equality is a core value of socialism but the only way to create an equal society where the poor get the same as the rich is to eliminate individual capital and put the government in charge of the equitable distribution of income, wealth, and resources. But when the income and wealth run out and the resources don't make it to the people who need it most, socialism becomes communism.
Equity is another value of socialism that mandates equal success. Equity eliminates any possibility for an individual to invent, invest or progress.
Diversity amd Inclusion legislate opportunity based on differences and variety among individuals or groups. Together they eliminate unity that focuses on togetherness and cooperation despite human differences.
Americans are being guided down a path to Socialism. Democrats are dividing us in politics with fear and intimidation. We are losing our basic freedoms under a tyrannical government that seeks to control every aspect of our lives. Propaganda and lies keep us afraid, confused, silent, and obedient.
Democrats have elected members of the Democratic Socialists of America to Congress. They call this "a new normal." What I see is not normal. It is a nation that is about to topple from the greatest Democracy in the world to a Socialist Democrat Dictatorship.
EIGHT STEPS to SOCIALISM
Getting a society to conform to socialism and communism requires hate, fear, propaganda, and civil unrest. Some say there are 8 levels of control that a government must obtain before it's able to create a socialist/communist State.
- Control Healthcare
- Increase Poverty
- Increase Debt
- Disarm the Public
- Control Behavior
- Redefine Education
- Eliminate Religion
- Create a Revolution
1. In his book Rules for Radicals Saul Alinsky wrote "Control healthcare and you control people." Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were disciples of Saul Alinsky so it's no surprise that between Clinton's attempt at government healthcare in 1993 and Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act of 2010 Democrats have destroyed our helthcare system and taken control of our nation's healthcare.
2. Increase poverty. This level is necessary to make people subjective and dependent. Under Joe Biden, households have become poorer as the the value of the dollar dropped to seventy cents. The cost of basic needs increased as inflation reached its highest level in 40 years. Take-home pay has the worst performance in nearly 80 years.
3. Increased debt The national debt has increased by $34 trillion since Joe Biden took office outpacing forecasts by a decade. People are buying on credit they can't pay. Credit card debt loses among major banks have jumped from millions into billions within a year.
4. Disarm the public. Democrats would like nothing more than to take away our 2nd Amendment rights. Using the excuse of "gun violence" they have taken us to the brink of gun control. Hitler used the excuse of "childhood gun accidents" to accomplish gun control. He made everyone register their weapons and when the gun accidents kept happening, he knew who had the guns and forced them all to turn them in.
5. Control Behavior is the level of control where the government decides "what is good for you." While Republicans ask what you need, Democrats tell you what you need and use the terms disinformation and misinformation to control what you know and believe. And, if you are an independent thinker who questions what the government is doing, a "label" can seal your fate.
- Those who object to socialism are labeled racists and are silenced.
- Those who object to living in fear are labeled science deniers and are silenced.
- Those who object to open borders are labeled xenophobic and are silenced.
- Those who object to immorality and gender neutrality are labeled bigots and are silenced.
- Those who object to teaching perversion to our children are labeled domestic terrorists and are silenced.
- Those who defend our Constitution are labeled insurrectionists and are silenced.
7. Religion has long been removed from our schools and is on the way out in everything government. Religion deals with moral issues like abortion, marriage and sexuality. Like Karl Marx, the Democrats believe that any individual or agency exercising religious freedom regarding moral issues is "divisive" and their actions must be abolished.
8. Revolution. Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky promoted the concept that the capitalist class (bourgeoisie) appropriates the products of workers' (proletariat) labor without compensating them fully for their efforts. However, Democrats themselves hold a majority of the wealth within their own Party. Consequently, Democrats have intensified divisions by introducing racial warfare to split the nation.
CREATING REVOLUTION
The Civil Rights Acts of the 1960's ended segregation and prevented discrimination on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, and national origin. For 45 years racial unrest was rare. Then, in 2009, America elected Barack Obama the first Black president of the United States. Instead of uniting the nation, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama bagan preacing systemic racism. Those who opposed his socialist politics and radical policies were labeled a racist.
During the campaign for his seconfd term, Democrtas referred to his opposition as "deplorables" and "unAmeicaan." Schools began teaching Critical Race Theory advocating that all white people are racists and that white supremacy is inborn. The media made heroes out of black criminals and the Democrats deflected from their own crimes by characterizing the police as oppressive and violent.
Their deceptions worked. Racial unrest was re-ignited giving birth to Black Lives Matter. Those who objected to the movement were labeled "fascist" and Antifa resurfaced to fight the fascist nonbelievers. A war against police erupted and the Democrat's racial revolution emerged in full swing in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2020.
CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR
The more things people fear the easier they are to control and many Americans are living in fear. Climate Change was the first fear tactic to be used. The Democrat's theory is burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and cement production has formed a CO2 layer that traps the sun's rays bouncing off the Earth (the albedo effect). Politicians and fanatics blame every forest fire, flood, hurricane ,and disaster on CO2 emissions.
President Joe Biden claims climate change is "code red for humanity" and demands that we eliminate burning fossil fuels. However, there is a good chance that climate change may be natural, due to the variations in the solar cycle and normal changes in the Earth's axis. Earth has been wobbling through space on a tilted axis for 4.5 billion years.
Scientifically, CO2 makes up about 0.04% of the atmosphere and Earth would not be habitable without that CO2 layer. It is a major part of Earth's natural carbon cycle that processes 100 billion tons of CO2 every year, ten times more CO2 than humans produce burning fossil fuels.
Physics and the weather defy what climate enthusiasts want to do using the wind, the sun, and batteries for energy. Regardless of how many 30-story wind turbines we erect and how many toxic solar panels we lay down, we will be burning coal, oil, and gas when the wind blows too fast or too slow, when the sun doesn't shine, and when the batteries need recharging.
The Democrats set out to make sure thee public feared their political eneimies. When Russia exposed the DNC's plot to ruin Bernie Sanders' campaign in favor of Hillaary Clinton, and Hillary lost to Donald Trump, Democrats created and paid for the Steele Dosier, a phoney document connecting Trump to Russia. "Accuse your enemy of doing what you are doing, while you are doing it, to create confusion," wrote Karl Marx.
Then came the covid-19 outbreak. This "pandemic" became the greatest fear tactic ever contrived. Liberal media hid and censored health data indoctrinating millions to believe they would die if they left their houses. In truth, nearly 80% of the deaths from covid-19 were among people with 3 or more comorbidities. According to death certificate data collected in November 2020 the deaths attributed to covid-19 included not just confirmed covid, but pneumonia, flu, and "probable covid-19"
Under pressure from the media, governors and mayors across the country took control of businesses, jobs, education, shopping, celebrations, religion, entertainment, travel, and even medical treatments and elections. Most Americans did not have the education or the common sense to recognize that these mandates were an exercise in "behavioral control."
CONTROLLING MINDS
To control public opinion, knowledge and what people believe, Democrats have become masters of lies and propaganda. Democrats have worked tirelessly to paint Hitler’s Nazis and Mussolini’s fascists as MAGA Republicans. But factual history tells another story. All the dictatorial systems that made up the Axis Powers were Socialists.
As Adolph Hitler wrote in Mein Kamph, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." The Democrat's lies are relentless and the liberal media repeats them. The Obama administration lied about Obamacare (ACA), Uranium One, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, NSA's spying, IRS's targeted audits, Hillary Clinton's private server, and the Clinton/DNC conspiracy emails.
The Democrats spied on the Trump campaign and lied about Donald Trump's election. They called it free speech but just 4 years later, they prosecuted hundreds of people protesting Joe Biden's election and threw the demonstrators into jail without due process and without a trial. The New York Times, the FBI and the Democrats all made up the phony story of QAnon warriors.
Democrats bought and paid for the Steele dossier and used it to lie about Donald Trump's collusion with Russia. They lied about changing states' election laws just months before a presidential election, they lied about the right of a candidate to question an election, and they lied about the legality of the January 6th demonstrations (The 12th Amendment does allow Congress to reject the electoral college votes).
Democrats lied about the BLM riots of May 2020. Property damage was assessed at up to $2 billion and at least 25 people dead. Two police officers had been killed in cold blood. However, when attorney general Bill Barr appeared before Nancy Pelosi's Democrat judiciary committee to defend police action during the riots, member after member of the committee denied the riots and refused to allow Mr. Barr to reply to their questions with arrogance and intolerance.
Democrats have lied about the border patrol, Hunter Biden's employment with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, firing the attorney investigating Burisma, and Hunter Biden's laptop. We may learn that Democrat's are lying about Hunter Biden's deals with China and the millions allegedly given to the Biden family by China, Romania and Ukraine through a series of phony LLCs.
Joe Biden has lied about unemployment claiming to have created more jobs than any other president. However, unemployment was 3.5%, an all-time low, during Donald Trump's administration. The covid-19 lockdowns jumped une,mployment to 13%. When unemployment returned to 3.5% it was people going back to work after cocid-19 coupled with Joe Biden hiring thousands of federal employees, who's salarries are paid by taxpayers.
Joe Biden has lied about reducing the deficit by $1.7 trillion. Again covid-19 comes to his rescue. The billions spent in covid-19 relief to support businesses and to aid individuals escalated the deficit to $2.77 trillion dollars. After covid-19 relief ended the deficit would have dropped by $1.7 trillion, or more, regardless of who was president.
THE FALL
Democrats have long sought to control elections in our country, insisting that voter identification laws and signature requirements are racist. Covid-19 gave them the break they need. Election laws were modified for mail-in ballots and voter registration was extended to election day. Many states mailed ballots to everyone on their votong lists
It takes four years for voting lists to be updated so there is no doubt that ballots were mailed to people who had moved and people who had died. That's okay in a system where ballots can be identified as being submited by a registered voter but sixteen states do not verify signatures on mail-in ballots, signature verification software was set at 60% in other states, and many states allowed ballot harvesting.
But during his 2019 campaign, Joe Biden may have let the cat out of the bag on the biggest scam ever when he said in a video "We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."
I'm guessing that the Democrat's voter fraud organization was fueled by open borders. Democrats invited people from around the world to come to the U.S. and this enormous organization of migration is growing at a rate of 10,000 a day. Democrats are depending on these vast numbers of "newcomers" will, at the very minimum, change the demographics enough to add dozens of Democrat House seats.
Once Democrats gain control of the executive and legislative branches of our government, election laws will be permanantly changed to eleiminate any opposition. Socialist Democrats may never lose another election and when a government tells you what you are going to get and doesn't ask "what do you want" it is a tyrannical dictatorship.
What may be more unnerving is that Democrats want to "defund" local police while their Inflation Reduction Act will spend $80 billion to hire 87,000 federal IRS enforcement agents. Regardless of what Democrats claim, the IRS has also stockpiled 4,600 guns, 5 million routnds of ammunition and new IRS agents are being trained with weapons.
Yes, America has changed and America is in trouble. Obviously, it has been a nation envied by citizens of third-world countries around the world. Today, however, America is transforming into a third-world country. It is a nation of illiteracy, poverty, crime, drugs, homelessness, fear, hate and lies. It is a nation divided, confused, and dependent. It is a nation about to Fall from the greatest Democracy in the world to a Socialist Democrat Dictatorship.
