The ‘Good’ Kind of Socialism

As Bernie Sanders gains traction, in the preliminary stages, a new narrative seems to be emerging from The Democratic Party. The narrative is “when Bernie talks about Socialism, it’s not the bad kind”, like Cuba or Venezuela. That’s like saying “while I do have cancer” it’s not the bad kind.

 Adolf Hitler started The Nationalist Socialist Party with all the best intentions and with great success at first, especially for the working class. This is the very same working class of people who Bernie Sanders espouses to want to help. Unfortunately, like all well intended Socialists, something inevitably goes very very wrong with the whole thing. The whole premise of creating an equal living wage doesn’t sit well with those that simply put, are more capable or smarter than others. In a Democracy those individuals are revered and rewarded and usually it is to the benefit of the rest of society.

 In a Socialist Society, the playing field is leveled, so those more capable are stifled with the lack of financial incentive creating jealousy, and greed, from the very top of society all the way down to the lowest wage earner. Acts like bribery thrive in that environment, and as the government tries harder and harder to maintain order, it resorts to more violent and restrictive measures for containment.

The same inevitable outcome has been repeated several times throughout history, so don’t take my word for it alone. Germany, Italy, Cuba, Russia, and Venezuela have all tried and failed to make it work, and they worked very hard at it all ending with failure. Crime spikes in the Socialist environment like mold in damp dark places, as those who feel they are more deserving try to achieve a better life through illegitimate means. The whole idea is flawed. It may function in small communities, cut off from the rest of the globe, but with trans-global trade, and boundless financial opportunity, the idea fails miserably.

There is no “good kind of Socialism” it’s all bad, just like Cancer and S.T.D.s.

If Bernie Sanders wins, America loses

Bernie Sanders has eked out a primary win in New Hampshire edging out Butegedge by a point and a half. If Bernie Sanders were to win the nomination and by some miracle defeat Donald Trump for the Presidency, with a favorably controlled Congress and Senate America, could kiss our Constitution goodbye. 

Bernie has vowed to wipe out student debt, free college tuition, free health care, eliminate the fossil fuel industry, and cap corporate salaries at one million dollars. These are just the tip of the iceberg for Bernie. Has anyone actually considered the logistics of any one of these proposals? 

Let us start with the salary caps. In order to accomplish this feat the Federal Government would have to take control of all the corporations. What happens to the owners of those corporations, and the property they own, never mind the loyal employees, if they refuse to hand over their jobs, deeds, and businesses to The Socialist Government? Does Bernie Sanders order them to concentration camps or firing squads? This is exactly what Adolf Hitler did. Adolf Hitler ordered his government takeover of all the country’s businesses, but could only accomplish it by those very means. The same would apply to the hundreds of fossil fuel companies. What does Bernie do to force compliance?

Then you have The Health Care Insurance industry. What would justify cutting out of some businesses, but making a huge carve out for the insurance businesses? Is this the “equality” that Socialism promises? 

Then there’s the academia debacle. In order to give free college to students, the same “takeover” tactics would be necessary. These colleges are owned by one or several people or are actually operating as businesses. Now what does Bernie do to force these businesses to give him their corporate seals and deeds? Imprisonment? Fines? Concentration Camps? Gas Chambers? Mass firing squads?

Put yourself in the shoes of any kind of business owner that Bernie feels is too profitable, and you are told to simply hand over your life’s accomplishments for “the greater good”. What would be The Socialist Government standard as to the tolerated level of profitability? Would it be a million? Five hundred thousand? What happens when The Socialist Government can’t make its financial goals? Does the standard then go down to fifty thousand? Ten Thousand?  Would you simply sign over your deed and corporate seal to The Socialist Government in exchange for “a living wage”? 

Bernie also promises to eliminate student debt. Again, the banks are not simply buildings full of money sitting there for the taking. They are owned by people or businesses. It would be like reaching directly into someone’s pockets and robbing them at gunpoint, all just to keep people from meeting their financial obligations and the life lessons of responsibility. Not only would it involve “taxation without representation”, but would be flat out criminal. All kinds of laws would have to be stripped from the books. Oops, there goes the Supreme Court and all the other judicial institutions. The Socialist Government would have supreme authority to make laws as it saw fit.

Like I stated in the opening, does anyone realize how many of our revered laws in The Constitution that would have to be shredded to accomplish these promises? You can forget about “The Bill of Rights” also, at least the first two, “liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, and possibly the third “life” for those upstart non-conformists.

 If no one else had the balls to, I personally would start another Revolutionary War to get our Constitution, and The Bill of Rights reinstated, and, if necessary, I would even symbolically break out the old muzzle loader rifle and fire the first shot, like the patriot that laid down his life two hundred and twenty five years ago for the hopes of being free from Socialist oppression!

Take the Vote NOW!

The Whistleblower Law clearly states that the whistleblower must have eyewitness account of the incident to be considered “credible”, as I suspected since the beginning of this witch-hunt. Mysteriously the rule changed right before the complaint was filed. I submit therefore that whoever the Inspector General was that deemed the information given by this whistleblower to be credible to The Director of National Intelligence, is a mole acting on behalf of Democrats to take Trump down. They should resign to save face now, or be fired immediately for failing to follow the letter of the law.

The Director was also told by the Inspector General that the whistleblower followed the law, and he expressed that adamantly in the hearing. Guess what? That was also misinformation given to the Director. The whole thing stinks, and not only the complaint, but the process should be investigated. 

In light of this new revelation, anything the Director of National Intelligence said in response to questions in the Congressional Committee hearing should be stricken from the record, and any future subpoena issued to anyone from the committee, based on the whistleblower’s report be deemed null and void.

 I want to know how these Congressional Democrats can be punished for this travesty of justice. Are there no repercussions for rogue behavior of these congressmen and women? I thought they were all supposed to be attorneys. This whistleblower report is nothing more than trash to be discarded in the waste paper bin, like yesterday’s newspapers.

 I think Republicans should bring impeachment to the floor now, and force a vote now. This way we can put all this nonsense to bed. I don’t know why they have to wait for Democrats to hold their hand for everything they do. GROW A PAIR!!!

El Paso Tx Massacre

Liberals and their complicit media outlets are again desperately stretching the facts in a feeble attempt  to convict President Trump for the hate crime in El Paso, Tx. President Trump made one off color remark during a protest in North Carolina about there being “two sides” to an interaction between protesters – which is completely true, by the way, regardless of the public opinion of the two sides involved at any protest. 

This recent crazy person who aspires to be a White Nationalist should have been flagged long ago, as well as all the other shooters in previous tragedies. These social media giants can shut down conservative speech at the drop of a hat, but refuse to expose these nuts, because as a result of their actions, the Liberal narrative for gun control becomes louder. To put it as plain as can be, it appears to me that Facebook must have known what this guy was up to and did nothing because it promotes their Liberal agenda, regardless of the lives lost. It follows an old wartime adage that the ‘end justifies the means”. 

Truth be known, these idiot White Supremist are spawned from the Democratic Party Conservatives, who refused to accept The Emancipation Proclamation at the end of The Civil War, not President Trump or Republicans for that matter. Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, set forth that very proclamation. To go one step further, these jerks also align themselves with The Nazis, The Nationalist Socialist Workers Party. This was formed by Conservative Socialists in Germany, around 1940, and is a similar ideology as that which Bernie Sanders is so fond of, Democratic Socialism! The prefixes to the word Socialism don’t change the tragic outcome from its implementation.

Liberal Nonsense

I normally don’t comment or respond to shared editorials on Facebook posts, but this one was such a doozy I had to say something. A person named Mike Jones, who believes that working in the technology sector for thirty years gives him the credentials of “Historian”, posted a completely false editorial about The Nazi’s in the 1930’s (see attached link).  In his bunch of nonsense, like a lot of Liberal talking points, Mr. Woods tries to obliterate history by making false claims about Nazi Germany’s government and the concentration camps of that period.

Sorry to inform you, Mr. Jones, Nazi was an English translation for National Socialist German Workers Party. I ask you, Mr. Jones, to note the second word in the translation, because you are somehow under the impression that Nazi Germany was not a Socialist government, WRONG! Like a lot of Liberals out there, somehow you are convinced that there is “good Socialism” and “bad Socialism”, again WRONG! It’s all bad. It always fails, and it eats the country that practices it from the inside out, again you would have to learn a little history to know that. There were no “happy workers” at the concentration camps.

 Your analogy that the Nazis put Socialists in the camps is extremely disingenuous and misleading, because, as Germany set out on its conquest to take over Europe, it interned captured prisoners in the camps. Since most of Europe was governed by Socialist Dictators and Communists at the time, the imprisonment of Socialists couldn’t be helped. People were also absolutely sent to the camps to die, (contrary to your other description of the concentration camps), especially Jews, and it had little to do with their religious beliefs. The Jews were persecuted and arrested for sole purpose that they were a threat to the Socialist Party. At that time, like many countries in Europe, Jews (like my grandparents) who fled Russia, and Tsar oppression, settled and were bankers and business owners. The Jewish people being strong advocates for education made them more successful in business. Simply put, The Socialist Government could not tolerate the individual wealth of these entrepreneurs. It deteriorated the moral of those the government needed to serve it. They were put in the camps, with no conditions for parole, period. The people were expected to work for The Nazi party for the promise of prosperity; “one hour for one Mark” which was the measure of a living wage.

 I am sick of seeing these Liberal rants from misinformed political science scholars that conjure up reasons that Socialism can work in America.  If only they taught history in political science class. Oh, if only Alexander and Nicholas hadn’t risen to power, then Lenin and Marx would be heroes in their own right. Germany was such a success story, if only not for Hitler. Venezuela was such a great wealthy country, if only Chavez hadn’t been so corrupted by its wealth. Well, my Liberal friends, what the heck do you think would happen here, the wealthiest country in the world? If only somehow we could stop those who aspire to Socialize America from becoming corrupt! Then like all these other success stories it might just work here.

When a population of people give up their rights to have a democratic form of government, where there are checks and balances, in favor of a government who taxes and controls EVERY aspect of their lives, promising everyone will be paid “one Mark for one hour’s work” you can bet Bernie Sanders is not going to accept one Mark for his hour’s work, should he become dictator of America.

Socialcrats Debates

Watching the Democrat debates, or rather as much as I could stand to watch, the theme is the same. The agenda for these future  ‘wannabees’ is that everyone is entitled to all sorts of free stuff, or to revisit the civil rights era in the sixties.

 What these aspiring Socialists are not telling anyone is how they intend to get us there. There is talk of taxing the rich at higher rates, and a carbon tax, and a host of other non specifics. The reality, however, is that in all of these socialist countries that the Democrats adore, and want to model our government after, there are harsh forced social economic laws designed to balance expenditures with economic viability. Not to mention how much more debt this country would acquire. We are in debt for trillions now, and we are a capitalist country. In most, if not all Socialist countries, it is mandatory that all citizens participate for a minimum of two years of military service.  All able bodied persons are required to work, by law, and for a predetermined wage by the government. Failure to comply means imprisonment for dissidents.

All companies are government owned in some form or another, and there would be no more private insurance. So these Amazons, Googles, Microsofts, and Facebooks, of this country that support these Democrat candidates had better think long and hard about their allegiances, because they are the first ones to become property of the Socialist regime. It’s no secret; everyone knows that all the free college, free health care, and “Green New Deal” types of pipe dreams are going to be real expensive.

Do they think the Socialist government is going to get the money from the poorest people in society? No! They are going to go where the richest companies are first. That means Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook arethe first companies on the chopping block. For some of the best and brightest, I have never seen such a bunch of dummies, supporting the very party that will lead to their ultimate demise. If these guys think that they are going to get special treatment for their allegiance, they have another thing coming; these candidates are eating their own now, like rabid wolves. Bernie and Liz are already salivating at the thought of getting Google and Amazon’s money to give to illegal immigrants to secure their reelection.

Democratic Socialism Does Not Exist

Since The Democratic Party was formed around 1840 they have been coming up with creative ways to spend taxpayer dollars. Socialism in its very nature can only function through some kind of financial leverage on the people and businesses whom it governs. So when I hear people like Bernie Sanders use the term “Democratic Socialist” I get shivers down my spine. I haven’t heard him or anyone else actually give a descriptive definition of the term, but I think it’s a polite way of saying “give me all your money, and I will spend it for you”.

Under Socialist rule, there is no cap on taxation. That is determined  by the needs of those in power. The words “Democratic Socialist” may sound sexy to the ignorant, but the two terms are contradictory in essence.

The word ‘Democratic’ indicates that the people have a voice in how they are governed. ‘Socialist’ is a term for a government that gives all authority and power to the government.

The promise of ‘free’ government services for anything, whether it’s college, or health care, a wage guarantee, or even  energy for that matter is an illusion that can only be attained by forcefully taking the funds from the productive aspects of society, or borrowing from others, to fund itself.

Under a socialist government, the government ends up being in control of goods and services. Look at what a mess the Veterans Administration is for our bravest heroes. Until President Trump allowed our Veterans to see any doctor they wanted, they were restricted by the government to see only certain doctors. This is socialism: Not choice, not control, and not ‘FREE”.

 


The Smollet Case Socialist Sideshow

One thing I hope can be gained from the Smollett hoax is that the same accountability be held for the media outlets that rushed to be the judge, jury, and executioner of the Trump supporters when the story first broke. The propagandized media has had a consistent narrative of divisiveness since the election of President Trump. This rush to judgment before the facts needs to be punished or it will eventually lead to civil war in this country.

The Congressional leaders need to be held to account also. These Congressional leaders that embrace the divisive rhetoric call themselves patriots. They are not. It is called subversiveness. Their sole intention is not to serve their constituencies, but to subvert not only the duly elected President, but the will of the American people to attain their personal aspirations in the pursuit of power. Just take a look at what most of these congressmen and women have announced publicly; they all want to be president. How can Americans elect a presidential candidate that not only exhibits the disregard for the rule of law, but also  the sheer frothing at the mouth desire to have absolute authority, completely disregarding the will of the American people? These Democratic candidates not only desire the presidency, but some have publicly admitted through their Socialist ideals, actually desire to be Dictators of America.

The hypocrite multi-millionaire Bernie Sanders, for example; of Jewish decent, who slaps the face of every oppressed Jewish person from the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, (a Socialist Government), to those who were persecuted by Czar Nicholas, calls himself a Democratic Socialist. Newsflash! There is no democracy in a Socialist government. This form of government has complete rule through the will of the dictator, and his appointed military generals, period! This goes the same for all these other clowns that want to be Dictators of America. This, by the way consists of most if not all, of those Democrats that have announced their candidacy.

The phrase ‘Democratic Socialist’ is a made up buzz word to deceive the poorly educated in matters of politics. There is either Democracy, (free will of the people to govern themselves through an elective process), or there is Socialism, (government rule over the will of the people). In every case of Socialist rule, the elected Dictator professes that the people can elect anyone they choose. Unfortunately, once in power the corruption of said power denies the will of the people, and the election process is then rigged in favor of the Dictator. How long has Putin been in power? How about the Castros? Maduro of Venezuela is downright refusing to leave his position. What makes anyone think that Dictators Sanders, Booker, or Harris would be any different? Unless and until any given Dictator feels that their personal agenda has been accomplished, (which, by the way is never) they will refuse to step down, unless maybe if their successor has the same agenda as theirs.

Socialism

Any person attempting to run for any public office, who professes openly that they are a Socialist, should be banned from serving in the United States of America. The concept of Socialism directly contradicts the free principles of our Constitutional Republic, and has no place in public service in government or otherwise.

These people have every right to protest our way of governance, but in serving as U.S. Representatives their objective can do nothing less than attempt to tear down the fabric of our freedom. Let the hard lessons of Stalin, Hitler, Chavez, Chairmen Mao, Fidel Castro and Czar Nicholas not be forgotten.

 America is the only America in the world! Let it not be lost to the deception of the Socialist ideal.

Bernie Sanders

I wonder how all those brainwashed delusional Bernie Sanders fans feel now, finding out that he and his wife are just a couple of fat rich white politicians that were lying to their constituents the whole time they were campaigning against the very thing that is being exposed about them?
