Communism didn’t die with Marx nor was it born with him.

It's sad that many don't understand Keynesian philosophy and the danger it poses to our way of life as we know it.

Instead, it is an accepted promotion of loss of individual freedom via laziness.

Most Americans are totally unaware that the U.S. House of Representatives crawls with a large, well-organized assembly of socialist organizations.

Maybe if they make it into a reality show...?

And it was Keynes himself who admitted that by "a continuous process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.

Confiscation up, freedom down. It's as natural a fact as history repeating itself.

Predictions differ, depending on one's perspective, as to whether this will be a socialistic paradise or a socialistic hell.

Only those completely unfamiliar with history would ever predict a "socialistic paradise".

There is no such thing, except in the imaginations of its adherents.

Like it or not, as time passes, the marxists are gaining the upper hand. How is it that capitalism, which once was hegemonic, is losing its grip over the imagination of the world? Assuming that marxism is the religion of the victim and can’t take root where people are happy, productive and purposeful, what, exactly, is not adding up for capitalism in the 21st century? What are the operant conditions that have led us to here? Why are we losing? Why are they driving all the wedges? Why are we not in the initiative?

Can we find any flaw whatsoever in what we are doing?

Little wonder that Winston Churchill painted socialism as a philosophy of failure, a creed of ignorance, and a gospel of envy whose inherent virtue "is the equal sharing of misery

No wonder Bambi sent his statue back..

“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages. Nobody but a beggar chooses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens. Even a beggar does not depend upon it entirely....” - Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776.

Oh! Keynesian, I thought at first it was a Kenyan—with an Indonesian passport.
