Socialism, fascism, Marxism, whatever you wish to call it has come to America. Actually, It has been coming over the last century, slowly but surely, injected into our society by a government which grows larger and larger taking greater control over every aspect of society and the peoples’ lives.
Some who agree with this assessment are now referring to the new leadership as the elephant in the living room. I tend to think a rat with a megaphone to be a better comparison.
America started becoming a fascist nation more than a century ago–to clarify–not Nazi, but fascist, with a small f.
Unfortunately, freedom’s life blood has slowly been draining out and the country has been surviving on artificial life support for quite some time. Vital signs are fading. At best, all the great physicians can do is keep the machines running, and feed the system intravenously–but the republic is basically all but a vegetable.
Will life go on? Yes, but not the life that was breathed into the nation by the founding fathers. There is little cognizance.
Rather than dying a bloody and brutal death at the hands of European fascists as some did last century, we’re going out in a comatose state–thanks to a slow but steady overdose of socialist morphine–assisted suicide I believe they call it.
Oh! the “compassion” of our “progressive” guardians who have taken charge of our very lives and well being.
R.I.P. America as we have known it.
p.s.
As an afterthought – I do not believe that people of principle and values should give up the fight. It is time to fight harder and take courage rather than roll up in a fetal ball and die in a hospital trash bin like the left would have us do.
However, you must realize what you truly face to be able to endure and overcome it. When an ideology becomes so pervasive in society that it seizes control, it must run its course until it becomes unbearable and is destroyed. We saw this with fascism in Europe last century. It is happening with radical Islam now. But it is also happening with Progressive Liberalism. It will not be destroyed until it runs its course and becomes undeniably evil.
The socialists who have taken control in the US and around the world will not be overthrown until they fail completely and miserably – But this is inevitable. Their policies have always failed, and are failing now. The difference now is that they have such control they will only be able to blame others for so long. At some point, everything becomes their baby.
Until then, they will make gains; they shall not long endure.
Therefore, remain not silent. Those who loudly proclaim the truth while few will listen, will have their words reverberating for generations afterwards.
Hi, I’ve been reading many of your posts–intellectual stalking, if you will–as I have been recently awakening to the state of America and the world.
Onto your post:
I wrote about similar ideas in my blog (the beginning, especially, sounds similar. I hadn’t read your post when I wrote my ideas, by the way) which I just started , and I’d like to hear your ideas on it: http://deusexviro.wordpress.com/2008/12/13/the-futuility-of-armed-rebellion/
Also, the government has been responding to a collapsing financial state in a predictable way. Consider one thing that the school textbooks have said: FDR and his programs (the books will call them reforms) helped to pull them out of the Great Depression. So far, the government has followed this “fake fact” and interfered in many many ways (“coincidentally” giving money to centralized Industry in return for government ownership–of course, media outlets generally avoid that dirty little word “nationalization”). Obama is planning a WPA-clone, following FDR yet further.
But the next idea widely spread through education is the one we will come face to face with eventually. It is this: American involvement in World War II helped lift America out of the Great Depression. Whether this is true, or it was the fact that the American homeland was not in ruins as much of Europe was, will never be considered. As the government nationalizations and bailouts continue to fail, they will, I am sure, remember this “maxim.” The push for war will likely come. Terrorists may be the scapegoat. “Regressives”, perhaps, will also be. Or it may take on a different flavor, a non-violent war, a war of re-education and propaganda. Or the combination of the two.
“Therefore, remain not silent. Those who loudly proclaim the truth while few will listen, will have their words reverberating for generations afterwards.”
I know where you are coming from. The experiment of America, with a small government securing liberty, is a beautiful thing–a noble ideal worth defending as one would defend faith in God: to death. But the current government will fall from within, and, especially once the financial system collapses, free speech may no longer be free; it will have a price of death. An organized, non-violent, but invisible rebellion, I think, will be the best way. A loud, violent rebellion will, at least while the centralized government is strong, be suppressed. And, of course, the centralized government of the rising fascist/socialist state will be fighting a global war; this might be freedom’s last chance to fight, for if a centralized global government wins, they will write their own history books–after they’re done burning the rest.
Have you ever read the Brothers Karamavoz? I highly recommend it, at least the “Grand Inquisitor” portion, if you haven’t. It has supreme significance today.
Also, I’ve added both your sites to my blogroll. Let me know if that’s a problem.
I have not read the material you mention, however, I will look into it. I did check your blog out, but haven’t had a chance to dig into it yet – I will though. It looks interesting and so far I share some common views. Presently I am reading Jonah Goldberg’s book, Liberal Fascism, in which I am finding much that comes from the same vein of thought I have been writing from.
