Socialism
Socialism
...is in our DNA.
Sound the alarms!
Socialism is coming.
But wait,
isn't it already here‽
Social Services,
Social Security,
Public Drinking Water,
Public Firefighters,
Public Lands,
Public Schools,
Public Museums,
Public Zoos,
Public Airwaves,
Public Roads,
Public Utilities,
and let's not forget
the Veterans Administration.
Go ahead and scream it.
Get it out of your system.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
But of course this isn't true.
You forget that first free lunch,
enjoyed at your mother's breast,
and the countless others since.
The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive 'policies' and 'Plans' of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word 'socialism', but what else can one call it?
~ H. G. Wells
