Nikolai Bukharin was executed by shooting in Moscow on March 15, 1938. He had been revered as a giant of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, as one who even worked side by side with Vladimir Lenin himself. Alas, Bukharin’s Marxist chickens had come home to roost by the time he was shot like a dog during Josef Stalin’s reign of terror. His execution marked the pinnacle of Stalin’s show trials of high-level officials.
You see, Bukharin invested in building a political system that inevitably puts the reins of power into the hands of just a few strongmen who end up calling all the shots. It’s a system in which suspicion and the smell of treason tend to hang in the air.
Socialism, by the way, is just such a system. This is the case whether you call it by any other name, whether communism, utopianism, or collectivism. Oh, go ahead and slap some lipstick on that pig and call it “democratic” socialism or “progressivism” or “communitarianism.”
Lenin and his gang all started out calling themselves socialists. Social democrats, to be exact. So the fact remains: the path of socialism is ultimately paved with coercion, censorship, and, yes, terror. Does stating this make me an alarmist? No. It makes me a realist.
Socialism Is a Bait-and-Switch Scheme Socialism and communism both involve ceding to the state control over the distribution of goods and services for the masses. This involves giving up individual rights, and giving the state a good measure of control over our personal lives. This road always leads to tyranny, no matter what you pave it with, and no matter what you name it.

All these people are hearing is FREE STUFF and make in the 1% PAY!
Communism only killed 100 million in the last century.
It just hasn’t been implemented by the right people..../s
Psssh. History is for old geezers and Gen Xers. They didn’t have iPhones back then, so why is history important?
/typical millennial
Think? They’ve been educated/indoctrinated NOT to think.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism

19. Use student riots
20. Infiltrate the press
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

How do you, as a parent, stop this massive onslaught against THINKING?
“Everything about socialism is sham and affectation.” - 23.11 Ch23 Evil; Economic Harmonies; Frederic Bastiat
Paging “conservatives” /sarc
Parasitic socialists are good for nothing. They can’t even take out Hillaryous Rotten Criminal. Oh, wait…
Feel the Bern. POS socialist idiot.
Think Twice Before Supporting It
We have to get them to think in the first place!
Millennials Should Think Twice. Actually, I would be glad if they could think Once.
Fabian Socialists/Communists/Progressives will always have a good supply of young. eager, useful idiots.
Socialist....”Life of the party”
“Dad, what’s history?”
“I don’t know, son. I’m a Millenial.”
Millenials have only known one thing...Crony Capitalism. A massive redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the top 1%. I’m not surprised they’re looking for something else. A shame it’s not real Capitalism, but they’ve never seen it and probably don’t know it exists.

And that’s a shame. However, cronyism is greater in socialism
Millennials don’t THINK, they FEEL.
Greed, envy, and self-righteousness
Conservatives accuse liberals of feeling instead of thinking.
Liberals accuse conservatives of feeling instead of thinking.
However, the reality of it is, they both use logic to arrive at their conclusions,
but they have diametrically opposing starting assumptions,
and that’s why they can’t understand how the other side could POSSIBLY
arrive at the conclusions they do.
It has to do with the fundamental opposition - God is God or Man is god.
The communist-controlled education system has assured that the students are sufficiently ignorant of real economics, political theory and history. The young people have nothing in their education to reflect on.
History? What’s that? Is it like a reality show and all?
