The First Step to Nowhere…

It’s often argued mainly by conservatives that we are headed toward socialism on our current path.  It makes a good argument and for the most part I agree with it and I have my reasons for believing the warnings.  The constitution becomes more and more crumbled as many more serious socialist leftists walk all over it for power.  If everyone abided by the constitution you have to wonder if there even would be political parties in general.  The democrat party champions its stance as being “for the little guy” and I ask where in the constitution does it say to favor the “little guy?”  It says to respect personal liberty and with that we understand personal responsibility.  They aren’t supposed to legislate to favor any group of people as they define said group. 

Well the question is how.  How are we headed in this direction?  There are many theories and I think the most common I hear is lack of education.  There is a lot of validity to that and I certainly won’t argue against it.  Our current public school system is a failure and no not to any fault of the teachers.  It’s more due to exactly what I’m talking about and that is a socialist approach to education.  Couple government inefficient control along with “feel good politics” and our educational system once the envy of the world is failing our future generations.  So no I won’t argue that our educational system needs to be fixed and is at least in part a cause of our slow road to socialism.  However there had to be a starting point that led us to these awful policies in education. 

There is also an argument that it starts in a similar fashion to todays progressive movement reaching for Utopia.  It’s really nothing new as many throughout history have attempted to create a Utopian society.  Now without question the thought of a Utopian society is so ridiculous and delusional that anyone whom thinks that will work must be a fan of Barack Obama.  How is utopia possible when it can only exist in the eyes of men who rule?  By the definition of freedom, one’s utopia can be anothers nightmare or in a liberals case that nightmare being America.  A perfect society is impossible yet so many attempt to achieve it.  Some view that as noble.  However, I view that as tyranny.

 The point I’m trying to get to is that some start on a road to socialism by trying to achieve a Utopian society.  However this is not a first step in my opinion because you need a tool to unite the masses to that idea.  The liberals in government in order to get the vast majority of people on their side needs an enemy and no I’m not talking about a foreign enemy.  I’m talking about an enemy they have to create in our minds.  An enemy that goes beyond common education.  It feeds off the envy of those who have little as well as focusing their attention away from themselves and towards a common feature.

Socialism or Communism came to pass in Russia for various reasons.  Of course they had a tyrannical style of government in the autocracy of the Tsar.  There were the failures of Nicholas the second in world war one.  Also there were an envious state of the wealthy.  The de facto leader of the revolution was Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin.  It’s worth noting that the new republics split up as a result of the downfall of the Russian Empire absolutely despised capitalism.  As these republics united under one party that would become the Communist Party of the Soviet Union there was born what was called a set of  Bolshevik Initial Decrees.  These decrees as they grew in the future years included:

• minimum wage
• worker’s hours
• nationalization of banks
• abolishing classes and civil ranks
• nationalizing external trade
• nationalization of sugar industry
• nationalization of private railroads
• nationalization of large-scale industry and railway transportation Enterprises
• social security for working people
• abolishing private property Rights on Archives of Russian writers, composers, painters and scientists, preserved in libraries and museums
• universal labour conscription
• wage regulations
• running of factories by elected workers committees(unions)

When looking at these decrees you have to wonder if the communist government is here already.  However, I believe the first step is class warfare.  I believe liberals in government use the rich as a common enemy of the masses.  The idea plays on the emotion of men of all educational backgrounds.  It plays on their envy of what others have accomplished.  History has shown us that class envy leads to revolution and revolution is a change in constitution or government.  As liberals have created this enemy in the minds of the masses they are viewed as heroes for taking from the accomplished to give to what they call the “entitled.”  Class envy also creates a hatred towards the most free economic system in mankind’s history which is capitalism. 

The liberals under the guise of patriotism have used the tool of class warfare to create angst against not only capitalism, but the history of America as well through our capitalist system which is representative of freedom.  They have used and skewed the founders words to aide them in accomplishing these deeds.  With the history of America being tarnished the founding document becomes more and more subject to change from it’s original intent.  Norman Thomas a socialist leader in America once said:

“The American people would never vote for socialism. Under the name of Liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.”

As it stands and through the common views of the liberals and socialists of the past they have their plan.  As they execute their plan the public becomes the ”tools of the ambitious” as Thomas Jefferson once said.  Ideas such as: watering down education; creating a victim mentality; Entrenching their power by taking from some what is rightfully theirs and giving to the “unfortunate” are all part of the process as it’s being ushered in by those same tools these policies help create.  Politicians will be called heroic and statesmen for doing so.  However, to be a hero you need to conquer the enemy.  Step one is creating that enemy and this time they have chosen their own citizens.
