History shows that socialism is an agenda that entices people groups with promises that have historically yielded a record of failure. How are entire populations won over? Socialists do it with promises of free things and fairness from a “new and improved government” led by someone “smarter” than you. Ask yourself these questions:
Who is in charge of a socialist government? Have you ever studied the types of people who lead these governments? Ever heard of Lenin, Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, Hugo Chavez, Castro, or Hitler? (Some younger Americans have never heard of them.)
How can everyone receive the same free goods with the same quality over time when production is managed by a central (rather than local) entity?
What input will you have regarding the free goods socialists promise you?
Who will decide where you live, what vehicle you will drive (if any), what foods you will eat, and what job the central government will give you?
Think about it. These are questions every citizen must answer. Remember: there’s always a price for exchanging your liberty for someone else’s idea of security.
