Yah.........they like to give it nice little names like Socialism (the good kind of Socialism - like England has)
But let's get real.
Progressivism = Communism.
"From each according to their ability and to each according to their need". That's the mantra of the Progressives (aka Democrats) and the mantra of Communists. Odd how they have the same mantra isn't it?
Blogger Gabe Suarez states clearly why Communism doesn't work.
I know.........I know.........by now Leftists (aka Progressives) are pulling their hair out and screeching "But we are not communists!!!" Sure you are.
I'll put it here and you can click on the embedded link for the rest. Own it. Progressives are Communists.
It is interesting to note that Marxist theory contends that socialism is just a transitional stage on the road to communism. Leninism adds the notion of a vanguard party to lead the proletarian revolution and to secure all political power after the revolution for the working class. This usually means elimination of firearms in the hands of the public, confiscation of wealth, nationalization of industry, and indoctrination of the young...as well as executing any resistance. In short, making everything and everyone dependent on the government. This should all sound very familiar by now.
No imagined mythology here kids…my family and I lived through this in Cuba. Any man that has lived in communism knows its smell instantly, and recognizes it over the room freshener, like the rotting stench of a corpse.
If one examines any country that has been communist...or pseudo-communist, one will eventually see a failed state. The USSR failed, as has every single other communist state. The current economic debacles in Europe are due to socialist (pseudo-communist) economic policies. Don't take my word for it. Please read it for yourself.
The reasons why communism does not work are as follows.
1). Creating A Classless Social Order. That is not possible because even though it may sound harsh, we are not all equal. Some people are smarter than others. Some people are stronger than others. And some people are more clever than others. Those that are, will naturally prosper more than the less prepared. As well, some people have a better work ethic than others. Denying that will not make it any less fact. You cannot make a stupid man into a smart man, nor a lazy man into an industrious man.
Specially if he does not wish it so and would prefer to be funded by those who are.
What communism wants to do is to force "those who can" to carry "those who won't".
Eventually "those who can" either get tired of being enslaved (via excessive and ridiculous taxes) due to their talent and stop working, or simply leave to a non-communist region where they can profit from their abilities. Think Atlas Shrugged.
2). Create a moneyless social order. Money is what drives everything. It has been that way from the age of Mesopotamia and is that way today. It is why countries go to war (and you thought it was for "freedom" I will bet), it is why people get up in the morning and go to school or work.
The hope for a better life and the creation of wealth is what drives a modern and prosperous society. Communism kills that hope by stifling creativity and drive (through the elimination of personal wealth) so that the lazy will not feel held back by the capable (sound familiar??). Like it or not, for most men, the ability to keep what they make trumps ideas about patriotic giving. Obamacare was a huge step in the attempt to develop a moneyless social order.
3). Common ownership of production, the means of production, as well as the profits from that production. They did that in Cuba. They made communist janitors in charge of State Agriculture. They made communist "academics" in charge of the banks. And they made communist housewives that were good friends with some general's wife, in charge of education. Communism thrives on nepotism and cronyism. The ignorant, the incapable, the untrained and the unskilled cannot succeed at anything, in spite of how much Marx, Castro, Obama, or any other communist leader wants them to.
Want to know the source of the “Entitlement Mentality”? Look no further than Communism.
Communism festered in Cuba and erupted into a revolution that was eventually successful. But communism is not always brought to power as a result of a violent Lenin-esque revolution. It is as often brought to power in a cancerous Marxist spread that may take several generations to be realized. And make no mistake, what you are seeing in the various protests, both the ridiculous and the violent, is an attempt to form the vanguard Lenin spoke about.
That vanguard, funded and organized by the American Communist Movement, will prove itself as dangerous to America and its citizens as any bomb wielding Jihadist.
