Socialism has never worked but it is easy to sell to those who refuse to study history which is why progressives use academia as their base of operations.
If this country is to survive the disastrous results of socialist experiments in government, we need to educate our citizenry on what socialism actually is which is neither benign nor without hazard.
While there may be a very slight distinction between the European-style socialism (with its apparent advocacy of social issues) and the totalitarian dictatorships Forman refers to; the ultimate goal of each remains the same - the complete control and subjugation of the populace.
The dictionary definition of this system calls it a theory which advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
Clever proponents of the takeover and elimination of our capitalist system cloak their intentions by calling themselves progressives only concerned with the basic needs of the community. That's why they push national health care and other issues involving social change like gay marriage. Meanwhile once they come to political power they use public money to fund the takeover of major industries, e.g. the auto industry. Public entitlement programs eventually bankrupt cities and states and leave citizens dependent on a government check.
In 2006, the Democrat Party became the majority in the House and Senate and promptly ratcheted up spending so that in 2008, the economy tanked, unemployment soared and the country fell for the promises of change. Destitute Americans looked to the government for assistance without recognizing the trap being set for them to become wards of the state.
Formally independent citizens found their road to freedom blocked by seductive offers of food stamps, free healthcare, extended unemployment checks and easier disability applications. Democrat politicians tout their insincere concerns to beleaguered Americans by promoting class envy of the wealthy and attacking the very class of individuals who can provide jobs and economic recovery. They do this because they do not want a recovery. They want power over our lives.
Immigrants who have survived the Marx, Lenin system of communism are flocking to the Conservative Party and the Tea Party because they recognize how socialism works.
Here in Staten Island, we have had a large influx of immigrants from Russia and the Baltic States who say, "that the national Democrats' 'socialistic' policies remind them too much of the top-down oligarchy they fled in their native land."

Tuna 2012/07/19 15:52:08I am a proud non-Progressive and must agree with the article because logic di...+4Just allow their ACTIONS to speak louder than their words. They destroyed the housing market, then nationalized it. General Motors ditto; the mortgage industry, ditto. Andnow healthcare is nationalized. Cap & Trade will be 30% more nationalized.























the socialists usually come in first which push their slime as FDR, Woodrow Wilson, Johnson, Carter, Clinton's, Bush's, and now Obama. Most of them pushed socialisim and
with brainwashing and hitting on emotions they got their way. Also in America's history
we have an evil person named John Dewey supposed father of education, he was a
sympathisier to marxisim. Many today who speak socialism are considered "useful idiots"
because they get the socialistic ball rolling then the communists continue, we are at the
stage now! But most of this is manipulated by the one world order slime jerks who
are the world banking elitists, they cause division or get the leaders to do this as obummer
has done, cause unrest, by October of this year I predict that obama will push
marshal law!
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh ,
had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can
vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.

A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can
vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the
most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has
been about 200 years.
During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."

It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota ,
points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was
mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income
tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy,
with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached
the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years.
Constitutional authority to send our money to foreign countries or to private businesses. It should never be used to benefit one person or one group of persons - that is unfair and unequal, and SHOULD be illegal. These types of things that may be needed belong at the STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS.
I am unable to convince many, many people and NO leftist, that such is the case. ALL of us should be pushing that and demanding that.
Obama is a NWO Socialist ( FACT ! ) - He was Installed Into Office By Very Powerful People ( George Soros being one ) . THEY pull his strings and this puppet dances !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WAKE UP ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Progressives = Communists. No questions allowed.
Jesus Christ said we'd always have the poor among us, and that we can help them any time we want (and we should help them.) Jesus has been correct for nearly 2000 years. On the other hand, I don't know of one socialist society that survived longer than 73 years,
I suspect that many young adults today learned a somewhat different definition, one that hides the nature of socialism in America and makes it look good, both at once.
Logic demands that one first take care of oneself, for if one does not survive, he is useless to all and unable to do a single thing for any others, and certainly not for the "masses"
America is founded based on the Right to Life. To remove by edict the means of sustaining that life is totally immoral. Governments do not own your life nor your Right to Life, and therefore can neither grant nor remove this basic right of humans. Therefore redistribution via government force is equally immoral, and the immoral use of Force for such purpose must be prohibited.
And yet people choose to be Governed? LOL
WELL SAID, STRIKER!
