Socialism cannot Survive Without the Poor and Uneducated
By Jeffers M. Dodge May 18, 2008

Socialism cannot survive without the poor and uneducated. That is why many Conservatives are advocating for an Institutional Reform Surge that will modernize the US Government’s mandated entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Disability. They believe that nothing short of a complete transformation to personal accounts, utilizing economic efficiencies created from over 200 years of fine-tuning of our capitalistic free market system will save the American government from a free fall into the abyss of the historically destructive economic principals of socialism.

Some of the most successful of these Conservative Advocates are William Kristol of the Weekly Standard, Dick Army’s FreedomWorks, the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the truly interactive, Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions. The David Horowitz Freedom Center is another Conservative Advocates here in Los Angeles that is attacking the problem of the Left in acedemic, media and entertainment terms..

The proposed annual shift of $1.3 trillion out of the public sector into the private sector will first and foremost create wealth for the working poor and middle class by establishing personal “Lock Box” accounts that will eliminate the need for other savings plan such as 401ks, IRAs etc. It will reduce the size of government and increase tax revenues to local, state and federal treasuries. Most Americans no longer support the current inefficient Social Security system that is a self-sustaining monster destined to take over the entire government bureaucracy -- draining billions out of the US economy both in terms of productivity and happiness.

Most Americans want their mandatory Social Security contributions to be personalized – some don’t. Who are these "anti-personalization" advocates? I call them the Socialist Coalition. They are the groups and organizations that spent almost a billion dollars to defeat of George W. Bush’s attempt to deliver social security privatization to the American public. They are a mix of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, private enterprises, private citizens, and left wing think tanks all over the country. They all have one goal in common; Socialism, an economic system of expropriation where the state, controlled by a handful of leftist elitists, takes ownership control over the means of production.

The programs fueled by Socialistic economic principles (taxpayers money) in America were designed by their proponents to unfairly compete with private businesses. Programs such as Public Schools vs Private Schools, Social Security vs Private Retirement, and now on the horizon an expansion of universal healthcare have all failed in terms of sustainability, quality, accessibility and affordability. These programs would never succeed in the real world without the taxpayer bailouts.

I ascribe this concession to Socialism to the ALLEGED collapse of capitalism in the 1930’s as seen through the prism of the left wing media. If truth be told, Roosevelt's New Deal policies, including Social Security, never gave permanent relief to the needy, or reform to the financial system, and our economy only recovered after Hitler took advantage of the fact we were in a depression. Only when we had to gear for war did our economy recover. (Just as a side note; Roosevelt's delay cost the lives of millions of Europeans and years of misery in America.) Another example of this distortion of historical perception is the McCarthy era, as rewritten of course by the left wing media, entertainment business and academia.

Nevertheless, in both cases, socialism got a foothold in the United States economy and muted our economic growth thereby exacerbating bad education, poverty, crime, drug use and gang violence. These measures of misery are the fuel for socialism, without it they die -- success for them is a paradox.

One more thing, the polarization we are experiencing in the United States between the left and the right is reflective of Americas resistance to the victimization and entitlement mindset created by the equality tenets attributed to socialism, “You are poor because of the rich therefore you deserve it for free.” This weakness is emboldening our enemies specifically the Islamic Brotherhood, students of Nazism and suppliers to our oil addicted economy. This broad network of Islamic Radicals coupled with high technology, have the potential of being far more destructive than Hitler ever was.

I am encouraging each and every one of you to participate in one of the Conservative Advocacies organizations above. Ask question, submit your policy ideas and make comments. What we need is an Institutional Reform Surge that can only happen when our leaders hear from we the people.
