There have been those who fully understood what Socialist stood for long ago. I reference:

“Essays on Political Economy”

by M. Frederic Bastiat

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15962/15962-h/15962-h.htm

The lie they promoted was described in great detail prior to 1874.

The Left has corrupted our monetary system, our work ethic, our morals, our respect for law, our sense of community, our education process for our youth, our concern for our elderly, our Republican Form of Government.

It has been a calculated path, every step of the way.

They knew from the beginning that the path lead to “destruction”. To hopelessness. To abject poverty and total dependence on the evil state.

Yes, indeed. This is what we face today.

We shall see if we are still made of the metal we were formed by as a nation.

Well said and Bastiat is the best. By the way, it should be ‘mettle’. :-)
