Democracy is the Road to Socialism »

Posted By RedRiverJ 8 months, 1 week ago in News

Khrushchev knew, and so did men like Stalin, Lenin and Marx. It’s only the AVERAGE AMERICAN who was blind to what was happening to their nation by slow but steady process, or should I say, progress…society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

    Karl Marx said “Democracy is the road to socialism.” He was right. Now the people will have to learn what’s wrong with socialism, the hard way.
    Wake up and smell the coffee before it's too late America.

    "In 1966, two socialist professors at Columbia University named Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven published an article in The Nation that outlined how to manufacturer crises for socialist objectives.

    Cloward and Piven were inspired by Marxist organizer Saul Alinsky, who used community organizing in Chicago to bring about social change. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was mentored by Alinsky and learned political tactics from him.

    Barack Hussein Obama worked for Alinsky-created groups in Chicago. He also learned Alinsky tactics.

    Cloward and Piven proposed overloading the welfare system in order to create an economic crisis that would ultimately destroy our capitalist system.

    They first targeted the welfare system and used the services of black activist George Wiley and his National Welfare Reform Organization (NWRO) to create economic chaos. New York City was targeted in the mid-1970s.

    This tactic drove the city into bankruptcy in 1975.

    Another group that used Cloward/Piven’s socialist tactics is ACORN, a group that Obama represented in Chicago.

    ACORN has engaged in voter fraud and has pressured banks into giving risky loans.

    Their goal has been two-fold: Overload the voter registration with fraudulent applications and undermine the banking system.

    As attorney for ACORN, Obama helped put pressure on the federal government under Clinton to greatly expand the unsafe loans being handed out to low-income people.

      The article quotes the shared opinion of various dead dictators, that democracy is weak, is foolish, and must collapse.

      The article is strangely silent on why those hopes failed; the dictators went down, and democracy continued.

      Democracy: or as the article calls it, mob rule .
      The dirty unwashed making decisions for themselves,
      instead of nature's natural leaders, - the towering CEO's and men of breeding.

      Democracy:
      Rule by the little people?
      Rule by the average man?
      Mob rule?

      NO.
      There are no little people.
      There is no average American.
      There is not a single citizen of this country that is by nature
      part of a mob, unworthy by birth of their glorious inheritance of freedom.

      We are Americans ; we have no natural leaders; and we are not sheep.

      To know the power of every American voice, is to know the value of the stranger standing next to you as you sing the national anthem.
      He is your fellow American,
      - who may have foolish political views but is by-God contributing to a national strength of will which has toppled the statues of those who despised democracy for centuries now.

      We do it each time we vote.
      We aren't little people.
      We aren't a mob.
      We are the nation;
      the flag is our symbol;
      the vote is our voice;
      the glorious voyage of democracy is our triumph.


      "It’s only the average American who was blind to what was happening to their nation by slow but steady process".

      Is that likely?
      Do we Americans know ourselves less well than the dead failed tyrants quoted here?

      Dare to believe as an American, that you know your country
      better than those who hate it.

      Especialy better than those who wrote this poison-pen letter to America.

      Stevie,

      I didn't get the impression from the article that Democracy is
      "bad"....fragile maybe, but not "bad". I got the impression that some lazy, lamebrained fools do not appreciate living in a democracy and will corrupt democratic principles to make the government take care of them.

      I also saw parallels in the article that are coming true today.

        So now the danger is "Democracy" (51% voting for something) will lead to socialism? You mean, like in California, where so many people have commented that "Prop 8 passed with a majority of the votes, therefore no gay marriage".

        Does that make supporters of Prop 8 Socialists?

        *************

        But let's have a discussion. About half of the commentators above this comment say in their profiles, or have said in other comments, that they like to have conversations. So let's have a conversation.

        Not a debate. Not a name-calling game.

        Let's talk about Socialism.

        *********************

        First, what is socialism?

        Second, on a scale of 0-100 (0 is none and 100 is 100%), how much socialism would you want to see in America today?

        Well, its about time someone stepped to the plate and put this into writing! The American people need to wake up before it is too late. The rights that our forefathers fought so hard for and to protect are being taken away right before our very eyes! This messiah that has come within our government is just as the Bible has said...the anti-christ. He has surfaced right here and is now beginning the turn around. Already he has split this great nation and turned the people against one another. People, he isn't done yet and there is not one person who will raise against him. He believes that "president" means "dictator".

        What a nutjob!

        If Democracy was the road to socialism then why did so many of them there Socialistic/Communist states get there by way of bloody revolutions?

        And we're still Democrat/Republican.

        No, what someone is doing here is whining. It's the end of the so called "free-market' capitalism that viewed workers in terms of how much they could be abused. The gravy train of war profiteering is over under the Bu$h administration, and all they can do is whine about it.

        I disagree. I think that its the 10% wealthiest ruling the other 90%. While we may pretend to be a "democracy" there are bigger, more powerful people in charge.

        So what is the cure then? Turn America into a Theocracy? Isn't that what the Republicans have done in the last 8 years?

        What saved AMERICA FROM COMMUNISM WAS DEMOCRATIC CAPITALISM. EISENHOWER, TRUMAN WERE AMONG THE RESCUERS. HERE, PUBLIC OPINION COUNTS A LOT IN WHAT SENATORS DO. "GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FROM THE PEOPLE." IT IS NOT SOCIALISM PER SE, ACTUALLY IT IS ITS FOE :) BUT CLAIMING DEMOCRACY IS COMMUNISM IS AN EXAGGERATION. ANOTHER JOKE BY THE JOKER RUSH LIMBAUGH. NO WONDER.

          IN GUATEMALA, THE MARYKNOLLS MISSIONARIES JOINED THE MARXIST GUERRILLAS AND FOUNDED THE NEW LIBERATION THEOLOGY (A NEW CHRISTIAN REVOLUTIONARY RELIGION) HOW COME THOSE MISSIONARIES WERE CERTIFIED RELIGIOUS PEOPLE? PLUS THE CHIEF OF THE FAR GUERRILLAS HAD ATTENDED THE JESUISTS FOR A WHILE.(?)

            History shows that societies that were democracies fail, the first notable one being ancient Greece. Ancient Rome succeeded when they introduced the principles of Law and individual rights for its citizens and formed a Republic. After centuries, they failed when they rejected Law and Rights and instituted dictatorship.

            Our forefathers were learned in history, studied previous civilizations, rejected democracy and formed a Republic, patterned after pre-Emperor Rome.

            Philosophically, Americans began adopting socialist ideology around 1900. Politically, the initial ideas began with Theordore Roosevelt, re-introduced by Woodrow Wilson, and implemented by Franklin Roosevelt. It was in the 1930s that democracy became the predominant social system in the U.S. and individual rights became subservient to the popular vote. The Republic was becoming a democracy.

            It has been said that there's not a dime's worth of difference between Republicans and Democrats. Both continue to push us down the road toward a fully socialist state. In the essentials, both parties seek to control the government to push their agendas, both use force against the citizens, both confiscate our property and the fruits of our labor, both wish to enslave us for their "noble" purposes. Obama continues and greatly expands on the Bush policies. Bush did the same with his predecessor. Arguing about the two parties is like arguing over whose team will win but the game remains the same.

            The people needs to become educated about the basic principles upon which the United States were founded. Read the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the pamphlets of Thomas Paine, books such as "Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal" by Ayn Rand, and so on.

            Knowledge is Power, and only knowledge will set us free.

            IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY , THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN 1776, JEFFERSON AND LINCOLN, WE WOULD NOT BE FREE.

            WASHINGTON MADE SURE WE WOULD NOT TURN COMMUNIST. THE HORRORS OF THE FRENCH AND SOVIET REVOLUTIONS WERE SOMETHING OUR FOUNDERS DID THE BEST TO AVOID.

            RATHER, THE GROUP THAT STEPS AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE THE NAZI ARMY DID, IS THE GOP. COMMUNISM RESEMBLES FASCISM AT THE BOTTOM. WHETHER MUSSOLINI EMBRACED A ROYAL-LIKE SYSTEM, STALIN,CASTRO, ET AL HAVE ALSO RULED LIKE MAXIMUM KINGS.

            WE GOT NO KINGS HERE IN AMERICA, EVEN BUSH HAD TO BEG TO HAVE HIS BAILOUT PASSED. NO HEADS OF CONGRESSIONAL OPPONENTS ROLLED.
            HAS LIMBAUGH LOST HIS HEAD FOR HIS WEIRD CLAIMS? NOPE

            SO THIS HYSTERICAL PANIC OF IDLE ULTRA CONSERVATIVE RETIREES IS RIDICULOUS. RATHER IT IS TYPICAL OF TRANSITIONAL TIMES WHEN EVERYTHING IS UP IN THE AIR.

              NEITHER COMMUNISM, NOR CAPITALISM ARE PERFECT SOLUTIONS. WE NEED A THIRD WAY. SOCIALISM IS TOO LEFTIST, OR TOO CONSERVATIVE, DEPENDING ON WHO JOINS IT. LIBERTARIANSM IS WORSE. WE AMERICANS ARE PASSING A HISTORICAL TRANSITION.

              RELIGION IS TOO RIGID AND NO SOLUTION, HUMAN KNOWLEDGE IS NOT PERFECT. PERHAPS BY 24 CENTURY, MANKIND WILL KNOW MORE (IF IT DOES NOT DESTROY ITSELF BY THAT TIME)RIGHT NOW WE ARE STILL TOO IGNORANT, PLUS THE SUPERSTITIONS STILL DRAG US BACKWARDS AND IMPEDE OUR PROGRESS.
