Their seems to be this obsession to push the USA to a more centralized and socialist “utopia”, and I use the term utopia in a very light manner.
Many potential voters that are falling for this trick into a socialistic type of governance, without many of those that are running for office in the 2024 US federal elections, actually coming out and stating they are advocating for socialism. To be fair though, there are a handful that are openly members of the Democratic Socialists of America, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, better known as AOC, and at least she is honest about what she stands for, while there are those that are sneaking socialism into our US Republic.
Those who are openly advocating for a Democratic Socialists of America, like AOC, and those that are just sneaky and pretend to be for the average citizen, like Vice President Kamala Harris, or Minnesota Govenor Tim Walz. You can’t get any more dangerous than these two with their integrity issues, and inability to just be honest with the citizens of the US Republic. All one has to do is carefully listen to what they are saying, and disseminate their very words. Kamala Harris for example wants to enact pricing controls on grocery stores, and food distribution, however with a quick history lesson, socialism was tried in Eastern Europe after World War II, with the USSR essentially enforcing satellite nations like Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania to adopt a centralized socialist style government, much like the USSR. Their brand of socialism was more commonly known as international socialism or communism, which endeavored to export this type of system to other parts of the planet, either through proxy wars, or in the case of the US Republic, infiltrate our universities, public school system, and entertainment industry, all with the goal to gradually indoctrinate the populace.
Now, to be very clear, socialism in any form, whether it be international socialism (communism), national socialism (fascism), or regular socialism, like you find in most of the European Union nations, invariably is not a godly concept, and leads to dependence on the over-reaching and all consuming government to take your freedoms and liberty away.
- International socialism (communism) completely takes over all aspects of business, education, and agriculture, and enforces pricing controls, and has historically led to the mass starvation and death of untold millions of people. Just look at the death and starvation of Ukrainians in 1932-33 due to the tyrant Joseph Stalin imposing collectivism of the Ukrainian farms. 3.9 million died as a result. In 1959–1961, “The Great Chinese Famine” caused the unnecessary death of 10 to 15, to even 55 million. Great Leap Forward as was officially termed by the Chinese Communist Party in attempt to modernize and restructure old China into their socialist paradise. And we have very dangerous and ideological psychopaths running for various offices in the US Republic, including for President, senate, and congress that hide behind the US Constitution that want to upturn what our men and women in uniform fought and died to protect us from becoming, a socialist nightmare, where you will see mass shortages of food and consumer goods, to where your children are no longer yours, but to the all might consuming socialist state.
- National Socialism, or what many will specifically call Nazism, which in itself is a made up name. The true definition of National Socialism is a form of fascism, and is as every bit as nefarious and evil as International Socialism. National Socialism allowed private ownership of business, so long as you worked closely with the National Socialist government, like that of National Socialist Germany of 1933-1945. There was much collaboration with the National Socialist, but also coercion to toe the line. There seems to be in today’s society, a very dangerous precedent for big tech companies and mainstream media to collaborate with the Democrat party in the US Republic, and to squash any dissenting voices, and to ensure that voices of neutrality, or of a different thought than what the other side wants is pushed out of the public eye, which is essentially how Neues Deutschland the party newspaper of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany in the former German Democratic Republic.
Like both National Socialism and International Socialism, schools heavily indoctrinated the youth, and poisoned their minds to be obedient to the government, and to fill their minds with twisted ideology, and to even encouraged children to report on their parents, neighbors and friends. National Socialist Germany fired teachers and professors en masse that did not follow the socialist ideology. Now, just see what ideological anti-Christian requirements teachers now must adhere to, starting in 2025 that Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota signed into law. How anyone can’t see this for what it is is blind, and is no different to the psychotic National Socialist and International Socialists. History is repeating itself right here in the US Republic.
Karl Marx, born in 1818, co-authored the “Manifesto of the Communist Party” in 1848 with Friedrich Engels. Expelled from the Kingdom of Prussia in 1843, Marx in 1867 saw the publication of Das Kapital, which was meant to be a critique of the capitalist form of production. These two men created publications that have resulted in the death of millions of people in the turbulent 20th century, when the old order of Europe had collapsed after WWI, and beyond.
Whether National Socialism or International Socialism, their firm belief is that God is not real, and the total obedience to the state is to be obeyed, and is demonic to its core. Many believers in Christ are blind to the foundational tenants of either brand of socialism, and should be wise and discerning.
- God is not real
- Humans are good
- The state is the final authority
- Children belong to the state, not to parents
- All people must be equal
- The product of ones labour is shared by those who have not laboured
- The state eliminates private property
Look, socialism has been tried in Venezuela, and Cuba, and with disastrous effects. A once thriving economy and peaceful nation, Venezuela is reeling in shortages from basic consumer goods like toilet paper, to food products, and all because the government of previous Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, and current President, Nicolás Maduro and their United Socialist Party of Venezuela has gutted the once prosperous nation with their hard fisted socialist form of government, and the people have suffered greatly as a result. Also, who can remember back to the 1989 revolutions in the former Warsaw Pact nations like Poland, East Germany, Romania, etc. People were tired of the socialistic communist governments that had ruled them since the end of WWII. The German Democratic Republic, known as East Germany was considered the most prosperous of the Warsaw Pact nations, but with mismanagement, and typical communist collectivism, East Germany by the late 1980’s was piratically bankrupt. It’s been tried before, yet the psychotic politicians who want to transform the US Republic economy, culture, and system of government, and God forbid, our constitution into something that would resemble a dystopian nightmare is unfathomable. If voters choose this for their future, than it will only end in disaster, like others before us. Choose wisely, or your future could be very dark and bleak.
Socialists love to rewrite history, and even destroy it right before our eyes, and this was done with such furor during the Russian Revolution in 1917 when the Bolsheviks destroyed Orthodox churches, Romonov Imperial symbols, like statues, and did revisionists history in schools. Examples of what the Communists did in East Germany after WWII was cultural barbarism, and examples of this are on links you can read for yourself what the Socialist Unity Party of the German Democratic Republic did to historic palaces, and monuments in Berlin in 1950 was criminal. Fast forward to 2020’s, and culture barbarism has infested the US Republic, with destruction of historic monuments. Thugs like ANTIFA, BLM, and others that relish the destruction of history, all because it makes them feel uncomfortable, or not fit their current narrative. These thugs and their supporters would feel right at home with the Socialist of the tyrannical leadership of Joseph Stalin and his Warsaw Pact lackeys.
Socialism is evil, and will lead to eventual ruin and a sense of false fulfillment.
In closing, the following quotes should hit hard for those with any common sense.

Socialism is the diet coke of communism, same great taste of regular coke, without the guilt of drinking the calories
