Listen to Devvy Kidd read The Great Communitarian Hoax. Hopefully this will come back into print. It explains exactly what is occurring today in the USofA and how Socialism is spread through Mandatory Community Service and the easy ‘jump’ from there to mindless sheeple accepting Marxism.
Scary stuff. Listen and learn.
This is what I thought of when reading your post and listening a bit to Devvy. It's almost like everyone is feeling a pressure to do and spend for charitable work.
