The short definition of socialism is this: Socialism is a political theory that advocates government ownership of industry or, said another way, government ownership in the means of production.

Quick socialism primer:
1. Will socialism destroy the America we have all known?
Answer: Yes, it will.
2. We have heard much about the rise of socialism in our nation. Does socialism affect you?
Answer: Yes, it most certainly will. Read or watch both “1984” and “Animal Farm.”
3. Will it affect your life, family, children, work or future?
Answer: It will affect everything at every level of your life and everyone you know.
4. What is socialism?
Answer: Socialism is a failed system that places man (the state) in the position of God. Everyone works for the state, and the state determines what you do, when, and how much you need.
5. Is socialism an evil thing?
Answer: It is one of the most evil things ever devised. It runs totally counter towards the human experience and desire for freedom and being rewarded for hard work, and exceptionalism.
6.Does socialism affect the Church? Should Christians be concerned?
Answer: Most certainly it is a grave threat to the church. The church, or any higher morality system not from the state, is a threat to the state. This is why socialist regimes outlaw religions when they come to power. Only the state determines right and wrong. Anything that opposes state morality and decisions is subversive and an overt threat to the state, and must be destroyed.
