Lets just say it...their “socialist national” agenda is “national socialism”.
“Everything about socialism is sham and affectation.” - 23.11 Ch23; Evil; Economic Harmonies; Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)
Yes, you are correct - but then again the left can’t be honest about anything else, so why would we expect them to be honest about their national ideology being Socialist.
Frederic Bastiat - a man who gave us fair warning of the impending danger, too bad people have to relearn history time and time again.
When is anything socialist based on truth?
Socialism is a font of ideas that simply do not work. Thats putting it mildly. If anything, socialist ideas make things worse. So how does one prop up ideas that are broken and do not work? Simple: they lie. One certainly cannot prop up broken ideas with the truth. So its, lie, lie, and lie some more. The communists did it that way. The nazis did it that way. And the modern day socialists do it that way.
Sure the leftist position is based upon lies. So what? It works! The left is in ALMOST total control of all major institutions; i.e. business, churches, academia, media of all types, political parties, social attitudes and cultural artifacts(look at what passes as art.) They have worked for years to obtain such control. Look at the opposition to the left small, incredibly divided and leaderless. As a result of incredible weakness Conservatives are incapable of effective resistance. Some can see concentration camps down the road, I don’t know as media control may be enough. Look at the poor teacher in Texas fired for supporting the poor cop who insulted a Negress. That is intended as a lesson for all.
You’ve got me there - can’t think of any time they tell the truth.
It doesn’t work because it’s contrary to human nature- thus they eventually need FORCE to keep their agenda going.
Yes, but It only works for a while - eventually the truth comes out and they are sent scurrying like rats into hiding.
I just wish people could learn the lesson without it having to be retaught every 20 years.
“When is anything socialist based on truth?”
It certainly wouldn’t be if Hillary Clinton wins the 2016 Presidential Election.
Socialism is a weird, 19th Century pseudo religion. It is a cancer of the spirit that offers no grace or redemption, only misery and death.

Sad, isn’t it?
Just saying, putting socialistic intentions "up front" may well win an election. See, for example, touting how grand "democracy" is, when democracy is one of the identifying features of socialism.
They have to cheat in order to win because there aren’t really enough of them to win it straight up.
True but they are winning.

lies and indoctrinated, low-information voters
“The lies are that the system will work.
Just saying, putting socialistic intentions “up front” may well win an election.”
Exactly what I tell people when they call Sanders an honest guy. I respond by saying the only thing honest about him is the fact that he openly identifies himself as a socialist. The dishonest part about him is where he claims his socialist ideas will mend, fix, and solve our problems and make our country better and stronger.
