SOCIALISM in the 21st CENTURY

Socialism in the 21st CENTURY

The Fox Propaganda Network and Trump are reviving the RED SCARE tactics of Mussolini and Hitler. In Germany, Hitler repeatedly told the people, only the Nazi Party can stop the Communists from taking over Germany. We saw how that scare tactic turned out.

In 2026 America, the Fox Propaganda Network and Trump are trying to portray the Democratic Party as the party of Communists. People who live in the real world, know there are no communists in the Democratic Party. That is pure Trump and Fox Propaganda and Lies.

Trump and Fox are repeatedly claiming Socialism is evil and leads to Communism. The Fox Propaganda Network always uses Cuba and Venezuela as proof that Socialism fails and always leads to communism. Those two countries failed because they are third world countries and they were taken over by dictators. They did not fail because of Socialism.

Intelligent people realize that’s a bogus, illogical argument. Fox always portrays Socialism as defined by Karl Marx and others over 175 years ago. Here is what they essentially claim is the definition of Socialism.

The Fox Propaganda Network Definition of Socialism

Socialism is an economic and political system in which the means of production, such as factories, land, and resources, are owned, regulated, or controlled by the state (government), rather than by private individuals or companies. In other words, the Fox definition of Socialism means the entire country is taken over by the government. That was true in the 1850s, but Socialism has evolved significantly over the past 175 years. In the year 2026, it has changed significantly in many European countries and America.

Here is the modern, 21st Century definition of Socialism.

  • There is NO Private Capital invested in the program.
  • There is No Profit Motive.
  • The program is 100% owned and operated by the Government.
  • The program is 100% funded by mandatory taxes on ALL citizens. In other words, every citizen must participate in the program by paying taxes.
  • The sole purpose of the program is not taking control of the country, it is to provide benefits to their citizens.

Before I provide examples of Socialism in the 21st Century, I want to point out some of the European countries which are excellent examples of modern Socialism. They aren’t the only countries in Europe that promote Socialism, but they are primarily known for their Socialist programs, such as Universal Health Care and Universal Pension Systems. That would be Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway. Please note that all these countries have employed Socialism for many decades and they are all Democracies. Contrary to Trump and Fox Propaganda, none of them show any signs of becoming communist countries.

America has also had large, major Socialist programs operating for decades alongside our capitalist system. There are three major Socialist Programs in our country. Two of them are 100% owned and operated by the federal government, and the third major program is owned and operated by state and local governments. What are they?

The two large federal Socialist programs, which have been around for many decades, are SOCIAL SECURITY and MEDICARE. Both of them meet all the elements of Socialism, per our definition above. Does anyone with a brain believe Social Security and Medicare are evil and/or will lead to communism in America?

The third major Socialist program in America is the Public School System. American parents do not have to spend thousands of dollars in tuition to send their children to private schools. They can send their children to free public schools, provided by, and operated 100%, by the government. Of course, they help pay for these schools through mandatory school taxes. However, those school taxes are chump change when compared to the thousands of dollars private schools charge in tuition for each child.

NOTE: Social Welfare programs are not Socialism. Some examples of this are Food Stamps and Homeless Shelters. Socialism is when the government mandates that all citizens must participate via mandatory taxes, as in Social Security, Medicare, and School Taxes.

A Letter to an Intelligent Female Trump Supporter

WOMEN WHO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP

This is part of an email I sent to an obviously intelligent author who recently wrote an article for “The Hill”, advising she doesn’t like Trump personally, but she was excited by his victory. Prior to sending the letter, I asked if I could in fact give her my opinion on her position. She said yes, as long as I was respectful and did not attack her personally.

The fact that any intelligent woman could possibly support a piece of human trash like Trump, who has no respect for women’s rights, is mind boggling to me. Here is the letter I wrote to her earlier today, with some minor edits. I am not going to identify the woman by using her name.

Hi:

I am not interested in disrespecting you, I am interested in trying to figure out how someone who is obviously very intelligent, could possibly get excited over a Trump election victory, which endangers our democracy and constitution.

Therefore, I hope you will take the time to read the following and give me the courtesy of a reply.

Let me start by saying I am NOT a Democrat and never was. I agree with you, the Dems do many stupid things. But unlike today’s seriously warped version of the Republican Party, despite their numerous flaws, at least

  • Democrats understand everybody is different. As long as people don’t break the law or hurt anyone else, we should accept them for who they are. In other words, everybody is a citizen who deserves respect.
  • Democrats respect our Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law.
  • Democrats read books, they don’t ban them.
  • Democrats support Ukraine in their war against the evil Vladimir Putin and Russia.
  • Democrats want everyone to have quality health care / insurance.
  • Democrats respect Science.
  • Democrats don’t support a pathological liar, crime boss, criminal, and a traitor for President.

Now, let’s compare the above with Trump, who is the Supreme Leader of the largest and most dangerous cult since Hitler amassed power in Germany.

Trump is:

  • A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR
  • A CON ARTIST
  • A CRIME BOSS
  • A CONVICTED FELON with 91 Felony Indictments, and 34 Felony Convictions so far.
  • A MORON
  • A SEXUAL PREDATOR, who was accused of sexual assault by 26 different women.
  • A man who has no respect for women’s rights to choose what they do with their own bodies.
  • A TRAITOR who stole hundreds of Top Secret-Classified Document and refused to return them to the federal government.
  • He’s the leader of a virtually ALL WHITE PARTY!
  • Trump is loved and admired by NAZIS and the KKK! Trump admires Hitler.
  • VLADIMIR PUTIN is Trump’s Hero and Idol.
  • Trump did everything possible to help Vladimir win the war in Ukraine and to destroy our NATO alliance.
  • Trump wants to destroy our Civil Service System and replace with a TRUMP LOYALTY PROGRAM in the RED STATES
  • Trump will demand that his cabinet members swear loyalty to him instead of the Constitution.
  • Trump promised to use the Justice Dept. to imprison his political opponents. Please note, I didn’t say criminals, I said his opponents.
  • Trump repeatedly called the “FREE PRESS”, An Enemy of the People”. He sounds just like Hitler and Vladimir.
  • Eliminate-Purge Generals who might stand up for the Constitution. Sounds just like Hitler and Vladimir
  • Now that Trump has both the Senate and the House under his power, you will see the end of American Democracy and our Constitution
  • No member of the Republican Party is allowed to disagree with or challenge the head of the party.  They saw what happened to Liz Cheney, who placed the Constitution ahead of Trump. Liz Cheney had the most conservative voting record in Congress, but she was banned from the Republican Party because she didn’t click her heels and obey their Supreme Leader, Donald Trump. Sounds like Russia and Vladimir. It doesn’t sound like the American we grew up in and loved.

We can agree the Dems have numerous flaws which neither one of us likes. However, destroying our democracy and constitution we grew up loving and respecting, isn’t one of them.

Thanks for listening,

Robert

 

END of AMERICA

THE END of AMERICA

It is currently November 1, 2024.  I carefully follow the polling analysis of a site called FIVETHIRTYEIGHT, which uses a wide array of statistics to predict the outcome of elections. Up until two weeks ago, it was a close race, but Kamala was leading since the day she announced her candidacy. However, In the last 2 weeks, the momentum has completely shifted over, big time, to Trump. As of today, it appears almost certain he will win.

Yes, Kamala will probably win the popular vote, but for a variety of reasons, it appears as if Trump will win in the stupid Electoral College system.  The election is still very close, so Kamala does have a very small chance of winning and preserving our cherished democracy and constitution. But a Kamala victory, as of today, is highly unlikely.

Unless something totally unexpected happens within the next 4 days, America will no longer be a Democracy. Both our Constitution and our Democracy will be decimated by a man who idolizes Hitler and Vladimir Putin. Trump will change America into a FASCIST STATE.

In the early 1930s, millions of brainwashed cult members, worshipped a piece of human trash named Hitler. Students of history know that changed their country and the world.  In 2024, millions of brainwashed cult members in America, worship another piece of human trash named Donald Trump. Just like Germany, they are about to destroy the country we grew up in and loved. They have no respect for our constitution or our democracy. The one and only thing they care about is making Trump America’s first dictator.

In Germany, Hitler told his cult members that Germany’s problems are caused by the Jews. Get rid of the Jews and Germany will be great again.

The Fox Propaganda Network and Trump, are telling their cult members America’s problems are caused by Liberals and Immigrants. Get rid of the liberals and immigrants, and America will be great again.

THE TRUMP CULT

They are a massive and dangerous cult. The cult is made up of people who are angry, bitter, vengeful, and vindictive. Unfortunately, they have been totally brainwashed by the FOX PROPAGANDA NETWORK. Inside of a cult, brainwashed members have no relationship with logic. The one and only thing which matters is what their Supreme Leader wants or orders them to do 

Here are two quick illustrations of pure cult behavior where logic plays no role and could only happens inside of a cult. They are, in my opinion, perfect examples, illustrating the extreme danger and terrifying power of cults.

JIM JONES CULT

In Guyana, Jim Jones ordered members of his cult to give poison to their children, and they did.  Can you believe they killed their own children? He then ordered his followers to take the poison themselves. Around 1,000 Jim Jones Cult members died solely because they were following orders from their Supreme Leader.

If they were using logic, they would have never given poison to their children and themselves. But logic is not part of the skill set of brainwashed members inside a cult.

HEAVEN’S GATE CALIFORNIA CULT

In 1997, members of another cult worshipped a man named Applewhite.   He told his dedicated followers to wear Nike Sneakers, come to a house one evening, where they would all commit suicide with Applewhite.

Applewhite told them if they wear Nike Sneakers and commit suicide together, an alien spaceship will come down to earth and transport their souls to a comet. Many of the people in the group were college graduates. I say that to point out even educated people can easily become brainwashed. This type of blind obedience and total disregard for logic is what makes cults so dangerous.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

The Republican Party, and their supporters, make up the largest and most dangerous cult since Hitler took power in Germany during the early 1930s. Everyone in the party, just as with Hitler, will click their heels and obey every order and directive coming from Trump.

In America, only members of a cult could possibly worship someone like Trump, who is:

  • A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR
  • A CON ARTIST
  • A CRIME BOSS
  • A CONVICTED FELON with 91 Felony Indictments, and 34 Felony Convictions so far.
  • A MORON
  • A SEXUAL PREDATOR who was accused of sexual assault by 26 different women.
  • Trump repeatedly said, the FREE PRESS is An Enemy of the People! Only dictators talk about the free press like that.
  • If Trump applied for a federal job which required a security background check, he would immediately be rejected. But he can run for President?
  • Trump will make his cabinet members swear loyalty to him, as opposed to the Constitution.
  • A TRAITOR who stole hundreds of Top Secret-Classified Documents and repeatedly refused to return them to the government.
  • He’s the leader of a virtually ALL WHITE PARTY! I think there is only one black Senator in Congress.
  • VLADIMIR PUTIN is Trump’s Hero and Idol.
  • Trump also idolizes Hitler and is loved by Nazis and the KKK.
  • Trump does everything possible to help Vladimir win the war in Ukraine and to destroy our NATO alliance.
  • Trump wants to destroy our Civil Service System and replace it with a TRUMP LOYALTY PROGRAM in the RED STATES The federal government will no longer ignore political preferences in their policy decisions.
  • Trump said he will use the Justice Department to imprison his political opponents. Sounds just like Vladimir, doesn’t it?

While growing up in America, did you ever imagine such a piece of human trash could even run for president, let alone become the leader of a cult with millions of members? Any one of the above elements should disqualify Trump from being President. But remember, logic does not apply inside of a cult, where the members are obsessed with pure dedication and worshipping of their Supreme Leader. It doesn’t matter to them what he says or does, he is never wrong!

There are more, but here are 3 classic examples of how brainwashing destroys one’s ability to think logically or use facts.

WOMEN

As mentioned above, millions of brainwashed women worship a man who was accused of sexual assault by 26 different women.  Can you believe that? I guarantee you, if those same women had a daughter who wanted to date someone like Trump, they would do everything in their power to block the relationship. But when it comes to being President, they are just fine with a man who has no character, abuses women, and has no respect for women.

Abortion, they totally ignore Trump’s abusive treatment of a woman’s right to decide what is best for her own body.

JEWISH PEOPLE

When I was growing up, I lived in a neighborhood which was very diverse, but the majority of my neighbors and friends were Jewish. Remember the expression, “Never Again!”

Among the people I grew up with, I never imagined I would see the day where a Jewish person could possibly support someone like Trump. He is admired and loved by both NAZIS and MEMBERS of the KKK. This is a classic example of pure brainwashing.

It’s a waste of time, but I foolishly try to point out this form of insanity to my Jewish friends. I ask them how could you possibly support someone who is admired and loved by NAZIS and members of the KKK? But they incredibly think I’m the one who is brainwashed.

Jewish people on the same team as Nazis and the KKK? This is unbelievable!

Trump is a con artist who managed to convince a large number of Jewish people that he somehow cares about Israel. Meanwhile, even though the Biden Administration has provided over $22 BILLION in critically needed military aid to Israel, they use Trump Propaganda to demonize Biden and Harris as being Anti-Israel. Talk about chumps who have no relationship with facts or the truth! If they were really anti-Israel, would they give more than $22 Billion to Israel? Unfortunately, cult members  believe every word uttered by a pathological liar.

There are only 3 things in the world which Trump cares about. They are POWER, MONEY, and his relationship with VLADIMIR PUTUN. Trump doesn’t care about Israel, but he knows how to con Jewish people into believing that. Why does he do this? He does this only because they can help him get elected.

The Jewish people I know were outraged when they read history book stories of Hitler rounding up large numbers of Jewish people.  But those very same Jewish people who are outraged by Hitler’s actions, will stand up and cheer when Trump starts rounding up immigrants and liberals.

BLACK PEOPLE

How in the world could any black person be dumb enough to support the leader of a virtually all white party, which I believe has only one black Senator? Trump’s national base is made up primarily of White Christians, many of whom don’t like blacks or Jews.  Just as Jewish people are aligning with Nazis and members of the KKK, there are black people aligning with a large group of racists. Black people are not welcome in the Republican Party.

AMERICA’s FUTURE

We grew up in a country where we cherished our freedom, democracy, and our constitution. Once Trump becomes our first dictator, everything we cherished will be decimated. Every member of the cult, who worships this piece of human trash, will be responsible. Sounds just like Nazi Germany where millions of cult members worshipped Hitler until the very end, doesn’t it?

Here is just a small preview of what will happen after January 20, 2025.

  • As Trump promised, he will do away with the Civil Service System and replace it with a Trump loyalty program in the red states.
  • Trump will force his cabinet members to swear loyalty to him, as opposed to the Constitution.
  • Trump will free all the thugs who attacked the nation’s capital and our democracy on January 6.. They inured 141 police officers, while threatening to overturn our democracy. If they found Pelosi or Pence, they would have hanged them. They will soon be free again, so they can  wreak havoc on our democracy.
  • Trump will go after both liberals and immigrants, just as Hitler went after the Jews in Germany. Of course, his cult members, just like Hitler’s supporters, will see nothing wrong with that.
  • Trump will do everything he can to help Vladimir take over Ukraine.
  • Trump will do everything he can to destroy NATO for Vladimir.
  • Trump promised he will use the Justice Department to imprison his political opponents, just like Vladimir.
  • Trump and his Project 2025 will implement programs to weaken Social Security, decimate Medicare, destroy Obamacare, which has millions of Trump Cult members enrolled. Yes, they will vote for a man who wants to take away their healthcare. That’s what happens inside of a cult where logic plays no role.

THE DYNAMICS of the 2024 ELECTION CHANGED BIG TIME

THE DYNAMICS of the 2024 ELECTION CHANGED BIG TIME

On Sunday July 21, 2024, Joe Biden made the right decision, he dropped out of the Presidential race. In light of that, the virtually all white, male dominated Republican Party, is almost in a state of shock. They were smug and complacent, because they knew they had the 2024 election locked up. There was virtually no chance that Biden could win the swing states, which control the stupid electoral college.

But that dynamic has suddenly changed. Instead of a feeble, 81-year-old man, who can barely walk or talk, he’s been replaced by a vibrant, young, former prosecutor.

In the next 2 days after the announcement, a virtually dry Democratic war chest received a staggering $91 Million in grass roots contributions. What is happening? A depressed and morbid Democratic organization, which essentially gave up on the 2024 election, was struck with a lightning bolt. They are excited and energized for the first time in this election cycle.

The initial theme from the Dems is a Prosecutor running against a Convicted Felon. I love it!

As mentioned above, it’s the Democrats who are excited for the first time in this election cycle. Now that the dynamics have totally changed, republicans are running scared. The Republicans knew they had the election won, but now they are in near panic mode. Trump, who is a total moron, claimed Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, proved the Democratic Party was a dictatorship. I’m sure anyone who understands logic, realizes Trump’s statemen was totally ludicrous. How could anyone with an IQ above 50 believe a decision by an old man to drop out of the race, is the equivalent of a dictatorship?

If that wasn’t bad enough, initial news reports state Republicans are planning a lawsuit, claiming the replacement of Biden with Kamala Harris, violates election laws. What? Put aside the insanity of that bogus legal claim, are the Republicans so stupid that they don’t realize the Democrats haven’t had their 2024 convention yet? I thought the primary purpose of the convention was to choose their candidate. This mild form of insanity indicates the Republicans are in a state of shock.

Think about it for a moment. Everything has changed, Trump is the old man in the race and he’s running against a woman almost 20 years younger than him. But he isn’t running against just any woman, she’s a young, vibrant, intelligent, black female.

Why does that matter? You can bet every penny you have, we will see one sexist, racist, attack after another from the virtually all-white, male dominated party. Unlike Joe Biden, I think Kamala will hopefully respond appropriately.

THE FIRST DEBATE?

None us of know how Kamala will handle herself in a debate against Trump. We know he will be out of control, firing off non-stop insults and lies, as he always does. I’m somewhat confident that Kamala will hopefully make a fool out Trump on the national stage. After all, she’s at least 10X smarter than him, and unlike Biden, she’s a vibrant, young woman.

Remember what happened in the June 27 debate versus Biden, where Trump reportedly told 30 lies, and most of them were ignored by Biden? Here are two of the biggest lies Trump told in that debate.

  1. Nancy Pelosi refused to call in the National Guard on January 6..
  2. In several Democratic states, they kill babies after they are born.

Both of those statements are totally absurd. Pelosi was the Speaker of the House, she was not in charge of security. Even if she was, that’s irrelevant, because only the President can request the National Guard in DC.

As for Trump’s absurd killing babies claim, that would qualify as HOMICIDE! But none of his cult members ever hold him accountable or responsible for any of his idiotic statements or actions.

As I’ve stated many times, this is the election of our lifetime. It is literally one where preserving Democracy and our Constitution is being challenged by the largest and most dangerous cult since Hitler took power in the early 1930s. Americans have a choice, save Democracy or choose our first Dictatorship.

It’s only July 23rd, so it’s obviously way too early to make any predictions. But I must say, it is very comforting to know we at least have a competitive race.
