Socialism has been proven, time and again, to be nothing more than a childish fantasy; and a potentially dangerous one, at that. It is, as Mark Levin and others say,
"soft tyranny". Margaret Thatcher said: "the problem with socialism is that you always run out of everybody elses' money".
Precisely.
It is the product of nothing more than feelgood politics, which serves no other purpose, than emotional pandering. It's candy coating is a sugary dipping of shared wealth and prosperity, the elimination of economic classes, government looking out for the little guy, and finally making life fair. However, underneath that narcotic laced sugary shell is a nauseating, parasite-infested, life stealing, soul sucking dose of altered reality nobody in their right mind wants to take a bite outta.
Socialist government crosses the line from symbiote to parasite. No longer content to remain in it's cage, it's rotten, blob-like corpse flows through the bars, across the floor, and all over anything that stands in it's path.
Including you.
Once it has doused, it goes to work killing inside you what makes you free. It steals the fruits of your labor, only to redistribute it to other parasites. It invades your home to dictate how warm or cool it can be at any given moment, how much water you can have in your toilet, how much power you can consume, and how you can, or can't, discipline your children. This statist virus tells schools what to teach. It says how much you will be paid. It tells you if will receive medical treatment. Or not.
The elder brother of soft tyranny/socialism?
COMMUNISM.Once the will and means to fight, the government that became big enough to give you everything you wanted, becomes big enough to take it all away, and it does. The last two possessions of value you hold now can be taken away by the State: your freedom and your life. Some lose theirs, forthwith, others over the passage of time. Promises with all the bells and whistles (like ObamaCare) and robbing from the rich to give to the poor all lead to the same dismal hole, lead by still-rich elites on the other side of the chasm. The very thing socialism was supposed to prevent, it etched in stone.
Now, our child in chief, along with his playmates, bring this to our shores.
