The shelves were bursting with food, bread, pastries, salamis,
cheeses, meat, sugar, cooking oil, and other items that the poor citizens fought
over in endless lines every day and often came home empty-handed, dreaming
about a delicious meal while staring at their empty kitchens.
This abundance had just been delivered and neatly arranged
for the dictator’s visit. The employees looked mortified, standing at attention
in their white lab coats, applauding the dear leader like he was an adulated
rock star.
The cult of personality had to be fed constantly by the pretend-adoring
crowds who were forced to stand in sun, rain, or snow to applaud him where ever
he happened to be or pass by. As soon as
the dictator left, the just-delivered food was taken away, leaving behind the
empty and dark shelves the equally miserable and exploited “proletariat” was
accustomed to.
Venezuela is going through similar and very serious
shortages of food right now. People are digging through dumpsters to find scraps.
This is what Hugo Chavez and his socialist followers have done to a country
with rich oil reserves, it has destroyed it to the point that the middle class
fled and gangs are killing people for a loaf of bread. Socialism has all but
destroyed their country and their previous prosperity.
Chavez had promised equality, fairness, free Castro-style health
care for all, the end of corruption, yet he and his cronies have stolen billions
for their own estates, and the health care system is ruined.
Socialists like Ceausescu and Chavez have killed economic
growth by throwing in jail the successful, stealing their wealth and
distributing it to the masses in the name of social justice. When failure is
rewarded at the expense of success, economic growth is destroyed. Who in their
right mind is going to try harder knowing that their work will be stolen and
distributed to moochers? More and more people give up, pretending to work and waiting
for the socialist handouts like the proverbial starving goose. It is a vicious
cycle of failure and poverty, covered up with lies for the fools who believe.
To keep people under control, communists and socialists
punished free speech even though their constitution encouraged free speech on
paper. But those who dared to exercise their right to free speech were jailed. “Look
at your college campuses which have become mini North Koreas, that’s what
happens when they are run by socialists,” said Dr. Savage in a recent radio
show.
Socialist dictatorships encouraged people to rat on their
relatives. School children were interrogated by their teachers to find out what
their parents thought or discussed at home. Once they got that information, the
parents were arrested in the middle of the night, never to be seen again.
The massive bureaucracy and propaganda required to maintain
the socialist state created such strife and division that families were broken
up and orphaned children, whose parents were jailed or shot, became wards of
the state in the many orphanages where brainwashing took place to such an
extent that it turned them into drones beholden to the dear leader, transformed
into the dictator’s youth brigades.
The police, the military, the secret police, and all
journalists groveled at the feet of the dictator Ceausescu and his evil wife,
Elena.
The socialism practiced today in many places has attacked
successful people, taxed them unfairly, and redistributed their wealth to
illegals. Some of these invited invaders
were hard core criminals or suffering from diseases not ever seen in this
country or previously eradicated. The bad economy has destroyed Americans’
ability to find suitable work and, in many cases, the desire to work.
Despite reports of a rosy economy and a published unemployment
rate of 4.7 percent, there is a cycle of poverty that is going to increase. As
more successful people are penalized, less and less people will want to work
hard to achieve the American dream. When that happens, the economy slows down,
taxes are raised, the burden of taxation becomes unbearable, and companies move
overseas. The not so Affordable Care Act
further drives small and large companies alike to cut back on the hours of
their employees so that they don’t have to subsidize health insurance they
cannot afford.
Bringing in diseased “refugees” and illegals who do not wish
to integrate into American society but want to transform it into the hellhole
they’ve escaped from, “is suicidal and homicidal,” said Dr. Savage.
Savage added, “Look what our colleges have become, infested
with socialists who have named themselves progressives.” A more accurate
description would be regressives as they are trying to take away our freedom of
speech, the right to own guns, and forcing us to return to a lifestyle more
suited for the pre-industrial age.
Opposition and divergent opinions have become all but verboten
on U.S. campuses.
“Socialism requires propaganda, intimidation, protection in
order for it to survive. Socialism
cannot survive daylight and honest debate,” said Savage. Socialism leads to a growing
tyrannical government, spying on people, taking their freedoms away, and
passing punitive speech laws for daring to criticize Muslims, hate speech laws
whereby the definitions are strictly developed by progressives. And the
environmental global communism will destroy the rest with its sustainable
development, green growth everything, wind turbines, solar power, and the hyper-interdiction
of fossil fuels through impossible regulations.
It makes one wonder what is wrong with so many young Americans
who think that the socialist ideology is compatible with freedom and flock to
the two Democrat Party candidates who are overt socialists and Marxists. Do they
really understand and know history? Or are they lulled by the Fabian socialism
of the failed multi-culturalism of European nations that are drowning in debt
and in violent Muslim refugees?
