Definition Of Communism: “A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy …”

Definition Of Socialism: “The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.”

The only difference between the two systems listed above is one has a dictator and the other does not. While George W. Bush was pretty close to taking on the role of a dictator with his outlandish policies and abuse of military power, at least we only had to put up with him for 8 years. Could you imagine spending a lifetime with the little chimp?

America is now a socialist country. You can deny it, or insist it’s for the benefit of capitalism and free market in the long run, but it’s time to wake up and stop living in denial. Sure the universal healthcare system isn’t in place, but it’s only a matter of time before that happens…especially with Obama leading the polls.

According to Yahoo News, “The government put itself four-square into the country’s banking business Tuesday, resorting to what President Bush conceded was the unwelcome choice of buying into the system to loosen paralyzed channels of credit. ” Instead of feeding the economy and infusing the free market, this move was nothing more than the first step in controlling more wealth while slowing down capitalistic growth. While it may appear to help on the surface with a national debt like it currently is, the government can now collect funds anytime they please. This is because loans, banks, and printed money are now directly owned by the government, as are our once capitalistic asses.

While this may just be me with a dire doomsday prediction, I can’t see this being anything more than a gateway to pure communist control. Now that the facade of a banking system to keep the direct government out of our money has been brought down, America is now one step away from Communism. Now just cue the authoritative government, and we’ll be on the fast track to hell on earth!
