“Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.”

Sillik, I'm glad to see your recognition of a "god" and, (choose your pronoun — his / her / it / etc.) ability to bless or otherwise. As to damning, socialism is that worship of false carnal gods that distinguish the rich from the poor while condemning all but an oligarchal few (in your case, the one true god — Sillik)

Socialism is a con, nothing but empty promises that have done nothing but centralize power into the hands of the most depraved, deluded, self-absorbed people, hand-picked by those that quietly maneuver the pieces on the board to funnel rivers of wealth and power into their secret coffers, all the while reducing a free people into servitude.  See USSR, Cuba, North Korea, China, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and now infiltrating Europe, Canada, UK, Australia, NZ, etc.. 

It's interesting that the American socialists in government became filthy rich as public servants.  Useful idiots living in a utopian bubble who haven't been to a grocery store in years, living in multimillion dollar enclaves, secure from the rabble they con out of their freedom.  Disgusting!
