Socialism is a pact with the devil

America was founded on the principles of capitalism. But there are those who think that communism is the solution to all problems. Organizations such as the Weather Underground, the Black Panther Party, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter and the Democratic Socialists of America have campaigned for communism for decades. We even saw a senator spending his honeymoon in the Soviet Union. Today, a whole squad of congresswomen supports the dynamic that leads to communism. They don’t use the word “communism” very often, but their manifestos and stated goals are 100% aligned with that ideology. The seductive terms used are “social justice”, “guaranteed income” and “equality”. The left seduces everyone by offering an impossible compromise – which leftists assure us will provide the benefits of both capitalism and communism. We will simply let capitalism produce the wealth, but force the producers to redistribute the wealth through regulatory or fiscal and spendthrift regimes. They use terms like “ensuring a living wage”, “protecting our most vulnerable” or “correcting social injustices”. Have you noticed how much Democrats like to use these misleading terms? Socialism is a pact with the devil. He promises is seductive, but he only delivers misery.
