The Declaration of Independence is indeed America's founding pillar, still standing the test of time and is the touchstone of Liberty itself!  May more countries follow in this example.  The people of every country need to make this declaration for themselves, and America can truly support them in their defense against the globalist ruling class.  Let's make this declaration real for ourselves today and for generations to come!

Indeed!

Hear, hear!

The US Constitution and Bill of Rights are the best attempt to preserve republican government and protect the rights of the People who chartered it in human history.  The post-Civil War amendments mark the start of the "decay" culminating with a central bank ruling over all.  The transformation from republican to statist government relies 100% on the receivership of the USA to the Federal Reserve under a state of emergency that has never been lifted. 

Socialism, or more specifically one of its forms, fascism has replaced the American government model but only be default.  We need only reclaim our republic from this false leviathan that lays claims to the labors and property of all.  Socialism is a con self-evident to any who have tried to exercise responsibility for themselves without government approval or permission.

Servitude is still the biggest racket in the world — and socialism is the 'science' behind it.

The Founders despised a democracy as it would soon waste and exhaust itself in suicidal tendencies.  A republican form of government was established by the US Constitution to protect the natural born rights of the People from power-seeking men.  The greatest minority is the individual whose rights are paramount to the State.  Not everything is up for vote. 

Today's 'democrats' scream bloody murder if the 'republicans' are ever chosen by their representatives.  Democrats want one-party rule — just like other democracies in communist countries.  Scratch a 'democrat' and find an authoritarian.  The Founders knew!

Even more interesting is that the original quote concluded with:

"may the Republican Party, under God, from every mountainside, LET FREEDOM RING!"

It's never become more evident from the moment Trump entered the White House.  The Swamp has absolutely no shame, and the leftist prosecutors in Blue cities and states have waged a no-holds-barred assault on anyone who challenges their authoritarianism.

I think the Democrat AG's (federal and state) have now matched Stalin in more ways than I care to count!

I repeat, who are you talking to when you say "Implement the Maximum Wage"?  If your version of socialism requires no dictatorial power, how would such a thing be implemented/enforced?  If socialism is for freedom, explain how dictating wages fits in. 

Since you are the only real Socialist (as you claim) then please explain.  Please spare us the condescension and simply answer directly the questions.

Your narcissism knows no bounds, Fred.  Talk about psychotic... and just plain ol' ignorant. 

So is this your new tag line, "Implement the Maximum Wage"?  If you are not dictating, to whom exactly are you telling to implement it?  Your rhetoric is filled with dictates.  My "obligations for an ordered societal arrangement"?  Says who?!  (You, obviously.)  If you proscribe living in harmony with the Laws of Nature, I am with you.  But if I am obligated to live according to an ordered arrangement — i.e. not by consent — then once again you claim power and authority that is not yours, which is classic dictatorial socialism.

The subsistence of the remnants of liberty is unfortunately miniscule today, much in part due to compulsory government schooling. 

Today, few Americans truly value Liberty and understand the price of upholding it. Dependency and a sense of victimhood are central themes in today's education, especially in inner cities. Here, maintaining poverty among the poor serves as a lucrative scheme for politicians who enrich themselves through their positions and influence-peddling. It's the second oldest trick in the book, bearing a striking resemblance to the first.

I beg to differ. Socialism can ONLY be achieved by violence.  History bears witness to that fact.

Prescient.  Look at where America is today.  Warren was spot on 14 years ago.

Hardly a new principle from socialists to restrict the rights of others.  Hitler was a vegetarian, didn't smoke, and didn't drink alcohol — and he prohibited such being consumed around him.  What you fail to address is the "how" to eliminate recreational sex and drugs.  ;-)  Lofty is the ideal, it's the enforcement that is socialism. 

Fred, your version of socialism is nothing but a petty dictatorship — nothing new about it.

BTW "the challenge of social abilities to create the means of production" is not socialism, it's "capitalism."

Fred, "gaining control of myself" is not socialism, it is individualism, it is classic liberalism.  Freedom absolutely requires the responsibility of being in control of oneself and not being the subject of another's will. 

Please stop calling your approach 'socialism.'  You are mixing up self-determination and utopia.  There would be no way to impose a maximum or minimum wage without allowing oneself to give up self-determinism and to become subservient to an external authority.

I know you have got a lot invested in your motto "socialism is the challenge ..." but you will never reconcile freedom, independence, and personal responsibility with socialism — they are polar opposites and completely incompatible. 

Your heart is in the right place, only your proposals are authoritarian on their face and can never and will never accomplish anything but complete subservience to the state and to whomever seizes the seats of power and will dictate to the rest of us.

You're starting to get the picture, Fred, only you can't seem to accept that socialism is the cause of the ills, not the cure.  The slight of hand you are referring to with the use of fiat currency is a perfect example.  All socialist forms of government absolutely depend upon this trick.  It is a mind-boggling feat of deception that once realized exposes the system of power imposed upon the world.

Very simply, since 1913, the US, Canada, UK, and many other countries agreed to switch from hard currencies backed by gold and silver to a debt-based currency (called fiat currency) that is backed by a promise-to-pay — i.e. an IOU.  The 'money' doesn't exist until a borrower signs a promissory note (IOU) and the money is destroyed when the IOU is paid back.  Now every dollar, pound, yen, franc, peso, etc. in circulation is an IOU, an interest-bearing debt that someone somewhere is paying interest on.

The condition for this new money system was that gold would no longer be allowed to be used as money and in fact was confiscated by the central banks (private banks) in exchange for fiat currency they create out of thin air and 'loan' into circulation.  Capital was traded in for debt.  And an income tax system was introduced to guarantee the interest payments on the debt-based money.

This is socialism and in its newest incarnation appears as the "social credit system" slowly being introduced to replace the current issuance of debt (called credit) and put the populace under total control.  It's the mark of the beast on steroids — no one will be able to buy or sell outside this system.

As for the Doctors and Lawyers you mention, the fields of medicine and law have been completely usurped by this funny money system and the laws are written to protect the system and make the lawyers and doctors filthy rich.  Today, lawyers destroy law, doctors destroy health, and bankers destroy money.

Hitler introduced the Ministry of Propaganda to distract the populace from ever figuring out the scam.  Hollywood is the main propaganda arm of the US (and the world) along with the legacy media, Department of Education and the fields of psychology that promote the mesmerism necessary to keep the populace compliant. 

The current assault is upon energy (i.e. raw power) and food (fuel for the body).  The food supply has become tainted and processed food is literally poison.  The climate change scam has infiltrated all governments and every effort is being made to eliminate energy produced by oil, gas and coal and eventually 'fire' itself — to literally make us 'powerless.'

Socialism has made all this possible.  The challenge of socialism to to keep the populace completely ignorant of the true source of its power and to literally rule the world, and eliminate anyone and anything that stands in its way.

Please understand this, Fred.  The absolute control over labor, money, energy, food, knowledge — i.e. all forms of power — is the goal, and all too often your rhetoric mimics the same ideas of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro and every other SOCIALIST dictator that has killed off hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people.  Please wake up.

I beg to differ.  With a maximum wage of $4.25 you have communism — and you will get what you pay for.  Ask the Soviets who suffered under such delusions for 75 years.  Welcome to authoritarian dystopia.

BTW, both communists and fascists call their form of government 'socialism,'  and your version is an infantile variation of the same.

(I still don't understand how you presume what is "my" popular music... Don't you realize you know nothing about me?) 

There appears to be no limit to your arrogance and ignorance.

Hmm, how very Marxist of you. Obviously, your "challenge" is to attempt to redefine socialism into something uniquely your own, without admitting it is merely a corrupted parroting of classic communistic theology.  You are a fake (and not a very good one).

The challenge of socialism involves coaxing individual consciousness to conform to a Hegelian dialectic. Once sufficiently mesmerized, the lost soul becomes more susceptible to manipulation by their power-hungry leaders.

More projection, Fred, filled with generalizations and the tiresome repetition of your incoherent motto...  You can say it a thousand times, and it will still make no more sense.  Why do you keep harping on it?

Collectivism and group-think demand uniformity of thought lest the mob stone the independent thinker for heresy.  A culture of monolithic coercion is despicable no matter how noble the claims of its followers.

Mike, you are absolutely right that "it is an astute in the obvious observation that socialists can NOT grasp, truth, facts, economics etc." 

It is a simple matter of self-preservation — the truth is their death knell.  Like gamblers losing a rigged game, facing the truth means admitting they've been conned.  They keep doubling down, and once completely lost, curse the world and bring everyone down with them.  "Burn it all down!" becomes their death song. 

Hypocrisy is their creed and denial their practice.  Hate is love, slavery is freedom, war is peace, debt is money, honesty is violence, lies are truth, sex is a construct, crime is justice, responsibility is bondage, victimhood is currency, blame is influence, and death is liberty.  There is no greater example of evil  incarnate.  Their lust for power is insatiable, their gratitude non-existent, their envy self-evident to all but themselves.  Their fruits will be their destruction.

Good Lord, I will not let them drag the rest of us down into their pit, not if I can help it.

Holy cow, you are losing it, man.  Please, pull yourself together.  Good for you to resist the "jab" — so did I. 

As for not letting you finish your post, LOL, that's on you, no one can click the 'Save' button but you...  I can't imagine what it is like to be in your head-space, but I am beginning to get the picture,  Good luck with all that!
