Socialism for the Gullible

Socialism is the ideology of thieves and tyrants. – Dinesh D’Souza

It does not matter how many people speak up against socialism, the steppingstone towards communism, and describe the miserable lives they lived under such system before they were able to escape to capitalism and its various opportunities, the useful idiots who vote time and time again for socialists and the fake Democrat Socialists, have no idea that they are voting themselves into poverty and misery.

The young advocates of socialism live well and safe under the umbrella of capitalism but have been brainwashed that it is so bad that they must change it to socialism immediately and at all costs.

Do they know what socialism really is? No, because schools spent no time teaching them in world history what it is and what it did in all countries in which it has been tried in the twentieth century.

Even socialist countries in Latin America and in Europe keep voting in more socialists expecting a different result. Many give up, sneak across the U.S. border and live illegally off the fruits of capitalism without paying any income taxes. Their children take advantage of the free education and health care system and all the welfare provided if their parents vote illegally for the Democrat Party in elections. They send remittances back to the countries they fled from, supporting dozens of other foreign nationals with welfare tax dollars from the U.S.

If various generations of Americans had studied in schools the world’s history of socialism, they would have learned that the socialist government controls all the means of production, education, land, property, industry, entertainment, travel, vacation, health care, banking, and centrally plans the entire economy. Nobody can own anything and citizens are not happy about it.

In the world of socialism, the steppingstone to communism, “war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.” Among the young American socialists, men can menstruate and have babies.

Orwell wrote in his 1984 novel that Winston’s world was governed by the Ministry of Truth (arts, entertainment, education, and news), Ministry of Peace (war), Ministry of Love (law, order), and Ministry of Plenty (economic affairs). Newspeak, the official language of Oceania, referred to these ministries as Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and Miniplenty. The Ministry of Love was the most frightening to the main character, Winston, as it was an impenetrable rectangle without windows. “To prevent any penetration other than official business, the building was surrounded by “a maze of barbed-wire entanglements, steel doors, and machine-gun nests.” Gorilla-faced guards in uniforms secured the streets.

Leaving Orwell’s euphemisms aside, the socialist governments everyone experienced in the former Soviet Socialist Republics around the globe were not farfetched from Winston’s imaginary world. (Orwell, 1984, pp. 4-5)

Socialism’s Thought Police was aptly described by Orwell. In real life socialist republics, people had no freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of thought. Americans like the libs of TikTok who constantly complain about the capitalist system as being fascist, would have been carted off to prison in a socialist country and remained there a long time for insulting the party, the Democrat Party that is.

The mainstream media has become the Democrat Party’s constant advocacy group. They repeat the same language of scripted narratives, not unlike Orwell’s Newspeak, the official language of Oceania.

Newspeak of Orwell’s 1984 had three components: the A vocabulary, the B vocabulary, and the C vocabulary.

The A vocabulary was small and only used for everyday life. Such words were not allowed to be used for political, philosophical, or literary purposes.

The B vocabulary was only allowed for use in political purposes. They were “intended to impose a desirable mental attitude upon the person using them.”

The C vocabulary was composed of scientific and technical terms. The words were stripped of any “undesirable meanings.”

The Newspeak reflected the 1984’s societal reality of the people of Oceania who had become soulless automatons by having lost their human qualities, the ability to express themselves clearly and meaningfully, and worst of all, did not even realize the loss.

Young American socialists truly believe that they can do socialism in America much better than it was done in the twentieth century in all the Soviet satellite countries which have failed their populations miserably and destroyed their lives.

Twenty-first century socialists think that they can dispense with the political tyranny and keep the economic programs. They think that this way, they can do socialism the right way. The problem with this thinking is that the economies of every socialist state failed because the Communist Party controlled the economy through disastrous central planning, confiscation of private property, land, and total control of the means of production. Any criticism ended citizens in prison and worse.

Shouldn’t rational human beings be able to learn from the experience of millions of people who suffered and died under socialism in the twentieth century without having to live it personally in the twenty-first century?

The most obvious case against socialism is that it creates abject poverty, loss of all freedoms, and not prosperity. No human is so altruistic that would be willing to share all personal wealth and hard work with the lazy.
