Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly..

What a crock! Socialism isn’t about “sharing the wealth.” It is about controlling the wealth and “distributing” the wealth only to those who are willing to toe the party line.

Since, as Vladimir Lenin once declared “the goal of socialism is comminism,”

we might do well to take a look at some of the myths and realities of comminism in the following American Thinker article entitled INORDINATE FEAR?:
