the goal of socialism is communism. Socialism is an economic model that leads to a societal model that does one thing, controls the populace and turns its citizens into subjects. - Vladimir Lenin
Quote to throw at those who say socialism is so great.

Careful: Lenin's quote is only the first six words (the part in the quote marks). Don't attribute West's excellent description to Lenin as well. Otherwise the object at which you throw the quote may throw it back at you. :-)

He’s correct, in that the followers of Socialism are the control freaks.
The leaders are after the loot they can grab, so they control the control freaks.
Let’s face it, too, pretty much everybody is looking for a higher authority. I, personally, think it is the space that God is supposed to fill, but in any event, we’re all made, or “evolved” that way. These losers are just being lead around by their noses like Jim Jones’ followers were, by those who understand this.

Thanks dayglored. I hadn’t caught that.

Ayn Rand grew up in USSR’s communism/socialism. She understands leftism (under all of its brand names) from her own experience.
“There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialismby vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”
DNC = CPUSA
It’s not rocket science to grasp the evil of leftism....

It is called behavior modification by way of taxation
the libprogs believe that taxation will result in
less of a certain behavour, hence Tobacco, Alcohol
and soda pop taxes.
Now consider that they want to tax WEALTH ~!

The issue with those who espouse socialism is that they believe that “they” will be one at the top, making all the decisions.

What type of person would want that? Only the control freaks. Colonel West is correct, of course.
One might even expand the definition to something such as...
..."control freaks who frequently indulge in magical thinking".
Socialists are certain that when they control everyone, they can make everything miraculously better, even though the socialist myth has been dramatically disproved, over-and-over, typically with misery beyond imagination.

Remember boy's & girl's, socialism is so great that it alway's voted into existence, but to get rid of it, is when the SHOOTING START'S.

Good post.
I will close with this quote, attributed to Vladimir Lenin, the goal of socialism is communism. Socialism is an economic model that leads to a societal model that does one thing, controls the populace and turns its citizens into subjects.
Says it all.

Free enterprise capitalism allows for the expression of human individuality while other socio-economic systems are one size fits all with the exception that some are more equal than others.

No doubt. Control freaks indeed. “Live and let live” is dying. You use to have the freedom to swing your fists that stopped at another person’s nose. Then you couldn’t invade their personal space. Now, swinging your fist threatens the environment and the life of future generations so it must be... well...
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.
