It appears that America’s youth are turning collectivist and
the ranks are swelling by the day with help from the accommodating indoctrinators
called educators and Howard Zinn’s textbooks bastardizing history and Common
Core standards of lower education now nine years old and covering most of America’s
schools. Academics has taken a back seat to progressive activism 101.
Old progressives, simmering and stewing for the decades, and
their young converts are working feverishly to squelch Individual freedom,
private property, and limited government. They used to be the tenets of our
society but now, the generations attached at the hip to their blue light electronic
devices, provided by free market capitalism, have decided that socialism suits
them better. Social Democrats, as they call themselves now, have promised so
many phony pie in the sky freebies that they cannot resist the urge to
fundamentally transform their parents’ America which is now passé.
They want economic justice, a harmonious society with no
strife, prosperity for all, a society in which nobody has to work if they don’t
want to. Somehow, in this socialist utopia, everyone has a perfect work ethic
and is absolutely altruistic and generous to a fault, giving their time,
wealth, success, and money to be spread evenly among the non-producers who just
want to chill in their parents’ basements and smoke free marijuana provided by
the benevolent state.
In this utopia they learned from their teachers in school,
there is no misery, no repression, no materialism, no jails, no death of
liberty, just kumbaya equality and free drugs. Except those at the top will be
in charge and “serving the working people” just like the politicians of today
who are serving the electorate, especially the illegal electorate from terrorist
countries inimical to us.
If you ask millennials what kind of society they want to
inhabit, according to a 2016 Gallup poll, 44% want to live under socialism.
They have no idea what socialism is, cannot define it correctly, but they
describe themselves as socialists.
Do they understand that socialism suppresses individuality,
forces collectivism, causes mass starvation, imprisons people with divergent
ideas in labor camps, herds them off their properties into high rise cinder
block apartments, nationalizes all industries, and confiscates all private
property and wealth?
To millennials, oppressive regimes, mass starvation, people
kept in nation-prisons with borders made of barbed-wire fence are just stories
in a textbook nobody believes. Have they had to fear any such oppressive
regimes in their lifetimes? To them, it is just old people fearmongering, they
call it the “new McCarthyism.”
Their mantra is, let’s just go and embrace more illegals and
Muslims in order to show that we are good little socialists and then plaster car
bumpers with the meaningless “coexist” stickers when everyone knows how well
that is playing out in Africa and the Middle East between Christians and
Muslims.
Young generations of Americans want free education, free
healthcare, free daycare, free housing, daddy government-guaranteed jobs,
everything that the Democrat Party includes in their socialist platform of the
openly socialist candidates like Bernie Sanders.
Millennials know-it-alls want what Scandinavian and other
European countries have. They have seen in travel brochures that everyone seems
happy, have a lot of free time, work much less than Americans, and drugs are
free and legal. They don’t understand that these countries allow private
property, they had a capitalist foundation, were economically wealthy before
they adopted generous welfare for all, and now their governments are socialist
in nature. The government does not own the means of production and they are not
totalitarian regimes. But their socialist leanings, tolerance, and failed
multiculturalism have created unsustainable societies which are now grappling
with serious issues of existentialism, threatened by the alien and inimical
cultures they’ve invited in and that are now taking over parts of their
countries.
The white-washing of socialism cannot be ignored. Venezuela’s
situation is slapping millennials in the face if they care to look.
Redistribution of wealth and government ownership of the means of production
have failed miserably in the Soviet Union and all its communist satellites.
Centralized-government controlled by the Communist Party has
not worked because the economic model is not feasible. Look at the latest
victims, the population of Venezuela who kept voting socialism until it
destroyed their lives. A formerly prosperous nation with huge oil reserves,
Venezuelans have chronic shortages of water, toilet paper, diapers, electricity,
medicines, food, and other basic staples. It is so bad that people eat garbage
and animals from the zoo.
These young Americans have never heard the term “goner” (Dokhodyaga),
a hard labor camp slang for a Soviet prisoner “who was so exhausted by work and
wasted by disease that he had little time left to live.” Their standard form of
address in the labor camp was, “How are you serving?” and the expected answer
was, “I serve the working people.” They had copied it from the from of address
between officers and men in the Soviet Army. (Alexander Solzhenitsyn, A Day in
the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Frederick A. Praeger Publisher, 1963)
As Robert B. Charles said, “Today, Laos, North Vietnam
(former), Cuba, Afghanistan, Benin, Cambodia, North Korea, Somalia, and South
Yemen remain the most impoverished countries in the world, war-torn,
repressive, reflexively imprisoning political critics. Venezuela is a basket
case. China’s re-education camps, currently holding millions of Chinese (for
religious convictions) are a hallmark of socialism, and of atheist China.”
(AMAC magazine, vol. 13, issue 1, p. 41)
The rebranding of “old socialism” as “Democratic socialism”
is just an attempt by politicians like Bernie Sanders to browbeat new and young
converts to socialism, the same redistributionism of private property and
enslavement to the totalitarian state. If we accept it, it will lead to America’s
collapse. I should know, I escaped such a failed totalitarian state. The
population is still struggling today to rebuild their lives and overcome
decades of forced conformity, oppression, and miserable equality.
What a terrible thing it is that Socialist college Professors for the last 50 years, then later, the socialist Common Core system is used in the public schools. The kids have been dumbed down and indoctrinated by the Fed.gov't owned schools. They know nothing about history, even American history wasn't taught, so they have no real allegiance to their own country, and because of that, history is repeating itself. It's gotten so bad that it seems to me that only a miracle from God would save our nation. Pity is, that God has been erased in this nation and the people being ignorant and godless, have no wisdom and understanding of what they see right in front of their eyes. Our founders told us to remain knowledgeable, to watch their government closely and remain good(Godly people)and if they didn't do that, they would have a tyrannical government under a dictator. Throughout this past century, they did none of these things.
