A town hall meeting was held last night on Fox News, where a comparison between Socialism and Capitalism was being made, with Fox Business Charles Payne and Herman Cain hosting. Stuart Varney, Kennedy, and Lou Dobbs were also brought in for commentary. A college professor named Richard Wolfe and so called Democratic Socialist Bianca Cunningham represented the Socialist proponents.
A series of questions were raised by two
panels of the opposing viewpoints. Wolf boasted that China has a good model of
Socialism because of its rapid economic growth. What was not rebutted by
Varney, Cain, or Payne, was that the growth came on the backs of underpaid,
overworked, and child labor in deplorable conditions with no worker protections.
Nazi Germany had extremely rapid growth in the forties. Does that make that
example a successful model of Socialism? What is sad is that the students in
the town hall all seem to have the same gripe; the complaint that there is income
inequality. This complaint is born out of jealousy. These academically
brainwashed kids are simply too lazy to work hard for success. They have been
absolutely convinced from elementary school right through college that they can
change the structure of government so that everyone will have a “fair shot”
at success through Socialism.
A question was asked; how can this country
make the transition from Capitalism to Socialism? Kennedy from ‘Late Night on
Fox’ replied with the appropriate response; the way it has always been done, by
force!
The woman Bianca Cunningham kept harping about the same talking points. She has also drank the “Cool Aid” that makes these people think that Socialism would free people to pursue only careers that make them happy at work, and therefore would produce better economic results to pay for the delusional Socialist Utopia. Unfortunately, history has shown that in a Socialist governed society, citizens do the jobs that are demanded of them by the dictator that governs the population. There is no room for free will of the people. It detracts from productivity in a Socialist society.
Wolf also used Germany as a successful model
because of their free college tuition. What was not said is that they can
afford to do so because they don’t have much of a military budget because
America insures that for them at minimal expense to their economy. It is
a fool’s errand to even have the debate about these two systems of government,
because the supporters of Socialism are debating the issue without being honest
with themselves about the historical facts.
I am
constantly hearing from these college kids about the prospect of “Democratic”
Socialism. There is no such thing as “Democratic” Socialism. Socialism only exists under Dictatorship rule,
because those who want to “follow their own path” are counterproductive to
the rest of the workforce, and create jealousy and apathy. This is simply not
tolerated, and those who insist on doing so are usually jailed and never heard
from again. The fear of this incarceration is the only chance the government
has to keep the workforce in line, and have any hope of generating the kind of
money needed to keep the Socialist economy afloat.
I am also hearing the diluted idea that Socialism creates a “living wage”. Socialist governments pay a wage that is determined by the ability of the given country to utilize its resources, compete in the world economy, and accommodate the needs of the population, and the government does this with a minimalistic approach. A Socialist Dictatorship doesn’t just give everyone fifteen dollars an hour, and then see how little money is left over to compete in the world market and address the needs of the population. The workers pay is the lowest concern of a Socialist government.
