Socialists have promised utopia from the beginning. However, in the 20th century, over
One hundred million men, women, children, and babies were murdered in the name of Socialism. Marx and Engels predicted Socialism would lead to a perfect society. Was that ever manifested in reality? In every country where it was tried, it failed. Examples are China, Russia, and Germany (Yes, the Nazi party was the National Socialist Party with centralized planning, elimination of property rights, and party members replacing company executives. All the same as in Russia.) Cambodia, North Korea, and Cuba. Many are heading that way with starvation, murders, and repression. The most obvious is Venezuela. The Nordic countries are often cited as being examples of successful socialist states. Sweden did have a socialist-leaning government for a short time, but when the people discovered what it was doing, it was abolished by the people’s vote. The government of Sweden is now far from Socialism, even according to the Committee for Workers’ International. (Olsson, n.d.) Forbes also agrees. (Dorfman, 2018) The Nordic countries are high-tax countries with high government services, but the governments do not have high levels of regulation, business taxes, or control of businesses.
The socialist theory is: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. It doesn’t sound bad, but the fatal flaw isn’t hard to determine. If the government is to care for you from birth to grave, it needs to control what you eat, what you wear, where you live, what you learn, what job you do, what you are paid, what medical care you get, and what you do for recreation. The government must control everything. This control requires what Bonito Mussolini called Totalitarianism. When he said it, he thought it was a good thing. It sounds great, but who decides? The proponents say that the government decided. But how? The answer is the leaders and government employees. Why did we end up with Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and people who are just as bad at nearly every level in these socialist countries? According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychological Association (DSM) (Multiple Authors), 3 percent of men and 1 percent of women are sociopaths. Sociopaths are what most call psychopaths. These people cannot have empathy. They do not feel other’s pain. They are capable of extreme violence. People who are psychopaths are power-seeking. They range from profoundly stupid to brilliant and everything in between. According to Kiehl & Hoffman, they are 15 to 25 times as likely to commit crimes than the average person. (Kiehl & Hoffman, 2011) The less intelligent psychopaths commit crimes, get caught, and end up in prison. Some medium and highly intelligent psychopaths decide not to commit crimes or are careful and don’t get caught. They are found in professions where they can exert power. According to Clay writing in Forbes, they are most often found as CEO, Lawyer, Media, Salesperson, Surgeon, Journalist, Police Officer, Clergy, Chef, and Civil servant. (Clay, n.d.) I have examples in Happy in Intensive Care Christian Edition of two Psychopaths positively contributing to society. One is David Wood, a Criminal who became a Christian in prison and has made his business converting Muslims to Christianity. (Wood, n.d.) He is successful. The other was the fast-food restaurant manager who believed he would go to hell if he were not good. (Black, 2019) The more intelligent ones are very good at fooling everyone. Robert D. Hare, the authority on psychopaths, says he has to work not to be fooled by them. (Hare, n.d.)
Psychopaths will seek power positions in a socialist country. Without empathy, they are good at getting these positions. Unlike the average person, they do not have any conscience. They are only restrained by the chance of getting caught. In a socialist country, they become the law and are no longer constrained. They do not hesitate to kill to gain positions. Most send what Lenin called useful idiots to do the killing. Once in a position of authority, these Psychopath government employees can now decide all these things for themselves, their relatives, and friends. They can trade privileges with other government employees. The best position in a Socialist State is in charge of medical services. Those in power positions can exchange doctor availability and scarce medicines with the government employee in charge of housing for better living quarters. Their power becomes nearly endless. Having people killed and harvesting their
organs to obtain more power is something a psychopath will gladly do. Mainland Chinese officials in charge of health care are doing this today. We are all selfish to some extent. Even people who are not psychopaths are easily corrupted when in positions of power in a socialist system. In a Capitalist system where the people are lightly governed, we find examples of people embezzling and committing fraud. With a free-market economy, some of this is self-fixing. With a free press and honest voting, government employee corruption is often exposed and fixed.
Because people have a basic need for religion, socialist countries need a state religion. This religion must be the worship of the ruler. Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Castro, Xi, Maduro, and others. The Bible talks of Baal. It was a pagan nature worshiping religion. It was the primary foe of the Jewish people in Biblical times. Along with leader worship, Baal replaces Christianity in a Socialist country. In no case can there be a religion like Christianity. Suppression is required, and it is better if Christianity can suppress itself. Unfortunately, Christian Churches are diluting the tenets of Christianity to become more politically correct. The Churches are also worshiping nature with tree planting and scrap paper drives. Many Christian churches are becoming much like the Baal religion. Socialist governments cannot allow individual citizens to own guns. The Nazi government required registration, and then they confiscated guns from Jews. Later, they confiscated guns from everyone. Castro confiscated the Cuban people’s guns; Chaves confiscated the guns of the Venezuelan people. Many gun owners know these facts, and that is why many gun owners are so adamant about preventing registration. It is also why politicians wishing to advance Socialism are so intent on gun registration. Thomas Jefferson said he could predict the future of the United States. He said its fall would be caused by the concentration of power and corruption, its natural consequences. (Jefferson, n.d.-a) He also said freedom would require periodic revolutions. (Jefferson, n.d.-b) The result of Socialism in society can be seen in Mainland China. The people have lost their humanity and integrity. Even without going there, it is possible to see this by observing the tourists from Mainland China. I have spent time in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The difference in the people is striking even though the people are genetically the same. Not only are the Mainland Chinese crude with spitting, public urination, and littering. They also are impolite. They push people out of the way. Even the Mainland Chinese know they can’t trust the food. People come from the mainland to Hong Kong to buy baby food because they know the mainland food is not safe. If someone falls, they are ignored. There are few good Samaritans in Mainland China. Before voting for the further advancement of government power and Socialism, we must ask ourselves: Do we want to put our lives in the hands of the people who will become the leaders?

The Radical Left playbook
The radical left uses the book Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky as their tactical manual. Saul Alinsky dedicated the book to the devil. Here is the dedication:
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his kingdom — Lucifer. "
Saul Alinsky's Purpose was to create mass organizations to seize power. He said it was for the Have Nots and how to take it away from the Haves. The idea was social change. The goal was Totalitarianism. He grew up during the Depression (Born in 1909). He was committed to Socialism (Communism). At the time of the writing, Communism would have been rejected, so he professed that he did not have a fixed truth. Like Niche, he believed that traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible.
Alinsky says:" In war, the ends justify the means. The issue is pragmatic and strategic in that the followers should only ask if ends are achievable and whether they will work because success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics. His followers were to infiltrate the system from within, use the tools of freedom against itself, always move forward, do the conversion incrementally, and make the enemy (Freedom) live up to its book of rules. The only price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. The followers are to use ridicule because it is man's most potent weapon. It is to be used in place of a logical argument.
To counter the radical left, point out that they are using Saul Alinsky's techniques. Keep the pressure on. Call a lie a lie, keep calling it a lie, and tell the truth.
Remember, when a left-wing democrat (Most are) says something, it may or may not be the truth.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor who stood up to the Nazis and Hitler. He was put into the Flossenbürg concentration camp. While in the camp, he came to understand why the people supported Hitler even when his evil became apparent. He was able to write to friends and acquaintances and describe his revelation. He discovered it was stupidity. For Bonhoeffer, stupidity was different from ignorance. Ignorance is not knowing. Stupidity is only believing what confirms their bias and refusing to acknowledge contrary facts. It is willful stupidity that causes the mob to be stupid. He said: “We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.” Unfortunately, Dietrich was murdered by the Nzies on April 9, 1945, just before the concentration camp was liberated.
Wilful stupidity is abundant in the US and the world. The people who set fires to Teslas are an example. People who blindly support the Democrat party in Portland, Oregon, Chicago, and San Francisco are another example. Many blindly support both parties. I supported Donald Trump for President but now recognize some of his flaws. There are Trump followers who are willfully stupid in supporting him.
Communist Manifesto Today
Karl Marx published the Communist Manifesto in 1848 his theories became the lens
through witch the intellectuals viewed the world. Their terms became part of the
language.
The Utopia promised by Karl Marx was to be obtained by application of the ten-point
program called The Communist Manifesto. The ten points were to found Socialism after
Socialism true Communism was to follow. This is the road map for the Communists,
Socialists, Progressives, Liberals and Open Society people. They believe that these steps
are the way to Utopia and are worth killing for.
The Communist Manifesto
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public
purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with
State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the
State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the
bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally
in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for
agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of
the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the
population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory
labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Marx and Engels 1848
How it was to work and where we are today.
Point 1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public
purposes.
This was to destroy the wealth of persons in the free market and make them dependent
and therefore subservient to government. . It has been partially implemented by the EPA
and the use of eminent domain.
Point 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
This was to bankrupt the private sector and eliminate the middle class. It has been fully
implemented and is working as Marx predicted.
Point 3. Abolition of all right of inheritance..
This was to transfer wealth out of the private sector to the government. It has been
partially implemented and is working as Marx predicted. Farms and small businesses are
sold to pay the taxes and due to the application of other points soon go out of business.
Point 4 Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
This was done to make the list more palatable to Germany in 1848. Marx was a National
Socialist. Hitler’s NAZI party ( National Socialist Party) was a full application of Marx.
Point 4 Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
This was done to make the list more palatable to Germany in 1848. Marx was a National
Socialist. Hitler’s NAZI party ( National Socialist Party) was a full application of Marx.
Point 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank
with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. I
It is one of control. The plan was to make all businesses subservient and then take them
over. It is mostly implemented with Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA, student loan
and SBA loans being the primary source of loans. Both the lenders and the borrowers
must follow the government rules and with that control the government can pick who gets
what.
Point 6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the
State
This was important to keep the population believing that the government was doing the
right thing. Before Fox News and talk radio this was working. With the threat of the
Fairness doctrine and the FCC license power we still have self-censorship in the media.
Point 7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the
bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in
accordance with a common plan.
This was written in a mostly agrarian economy. The Communists in Russia, China, Cuba,
North Korea, Cambodia etc. drove their populations on to the land to keep control. The
relevant part for the present group is takeover of industry. It is being done presently by a
combination of regulations and bail outs.
Point 8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for
agriculture.
This was to eliminate private control. AmeriCorps, Acorn and other Socialist
indoctrination organizations are now doing the job envisioned by Marx.
Point 9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of
the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the
population over the country.
The idea was to eliminate private industry and agriculture and move people back and
forth as needed. It was to keep the population busy and therefore unlikely to rebel. It was
applied in Russia, Cambodia, and Cuba. We are not here yet.
Point 10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory
labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Between the Education department and the NEA we have turned our schools into
Socialists introduction camps.
Conclusion
The overall effects from the implementation of the Communist Manifesto ten points are
listed below. The reader may substitute the phrase “Federal government” whenever the
phrase “Central government” is used.
• Increased control and power to the central government with an equal decrease in
local and corporate control.
• Increased central government intrusion in and control over most aspects of life.
• Central government redistribution of wealth for its own purposes.
• Dramatic growth in the size and control of the central government. A massive
bureaucracy is created.
• The disappearance of local control with a concomitant increase in response time
to address local needs.
• The evolution of centralized economic planning for the country.
• The elimination of incentives for excellence and quality in performance.
• Entrepreneurial risk taking, creativity and innovation are viewed as “deviations”
from the planned norms. You cannot “plan” for them. Therefore, there are neither
incentives nor recognitions for such activities and they fade away. People come to
realize that the levels of individual performance achievements do not matter, and
they tend to “regress to the mean” and do just enough to get by. They become
more passive and dependent on the state and expect the state to direct and support
them.
Hillery Clinton was an Alinsky supporter. She wrote her Senior Thesis on him and studied at his training center.
Barack Obama was an Alinsky follower and called himself a a community organizer, just like Alinsky
George Soros and now his son are following the Alinsky system to destroy the United States
Burney Sanders and many other Democrats in Congress are following the Saul Alinsky system to destroy the United States. You can tell who they are by their ability to lie.
Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. was a Christian Republican that wanted to eliminate racial division. He was against laws that restricted the first and second amendments. The first was to protect the speech of Americans of African descent. And the second was to protect the Americans of African descent who were speaking out from the Southern Democrats that were assaulting and killing them. He fought against any program or movement that would foster division between races.
Two quotes by Dr. King:
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
