Hear, hear!!  Excellent response.

"No we shouldn't!" ... if only

Yikes!  That independent voice of creativity is supposed to be yours — and mine, and everybody's.

Every government is a parliament of whores.

Hard pass.

One man's Socialist dream is another man's Fascist nightmare.

Yes, Fred you are "dreaming."  ;-)  True socialism may not have ever been achieved, but it's not for a lack of trying — it has always failed in its promises and at tremendous cost to the people.  Socialism has been achieved, it's just not what its proponents bargained for.

Democratic socialism is a religion steeped in superstition and prejudice that worships collective power.  To make this system work, a private central bank creates money out of thin air and loans it at interest to the people — there is no other way money is created, and it is destroyed as soon as the 'loan' is paid back. 

Funnily enough, socialists call this 'capitalism' — but there is no capital, it's all paper promises to pay.  This is actually the "social credit" system being rolled out in China and soon other 'socialist' countries.  Socialism is the real game of Monopoly!

What's wrong with this?  It's literally vampirism — sucking the lifeblood out of the people to 'rent' tokens for trading their labors.  And governments and corporations have been filtering out anyone that does not share the collectivist mindset.  Wave after wave of leftists pouring into seats of power and influence to the point that children do not even know what being free and responsible is.  This is real Socialism, and true liberals know it.

Freedom is the real dream.  Freedom to create and fulfill my dreams.  Freedom to speak truthfully, to support and defend causes I hold dear.  Freedom to work and travel.  Freedom to hold unpopular opinions and express them.

In a world where individuals are allowed to live in harmony with natural law, the blessings of Liberty will be known to all.

I'll take Liberty and a republican form of government over the religion of Socialism any day — and that is what America is all about.  The sooner the rest of the world wakes up, the better for all.

In case you have missed it, the governments of the world have declared war on their people, sparking unrest, punishing dissent, implementing population reduction programs, one-party rule, and the criminalization of Liberty.  The powers-that-should-not-be are rolling right along with their plans to dominate the world's population into submission.  Global socialism is a global empire of oligarchs ruled by the 'lords' who print the money out of nothing.  This is war, and your submission is the goal.

Zeig heil...

This is common knowledge today.  Nothing to see here, folks.

As far as I can tell. Socialism is the 'appropriation' of all.  Everything 'good' is due to 'Socialism.'  'Socialism' recognizes Natural Law (no it doesn't).  Socialism protects people's rights (no it appropriates people's choices).  Socialists claim all men and women are 'produced' equal — who/what has produced people?  Fred's claims about Socialism are merely appropriated from Christianity and republicanism.  They deny 'gods' but hail Mother Nature. Socialism is a lie and a theft of individual power and liberty — it is servitude to the State.

Such is the intent of republican government.  Socialism is regulated life, 'new rules' from man, no recognition of Natural Law.  

Right on, J Carlton.

What price is Liberty?  Do you not understand that the difference between a republican form of government and socialism/communism/fascism/monarchy/dictatorship is your Liberty?  What happens to 'my body my choice?'  You have no choices without Liberty.  The solution to poverty is not the subjugation of a People to be ruled.  What responsibility do YOU have to help the poor — even yourself?

True!

"The Capitalists will pay us to make everything they depend on, then we simply cut them off and they will hang each other."

Nailed it.

Can't argue with that.

Liberty and a republican form of government that respects the natural born rights of humankind.

This is communism / fascism.

Interesting take.

Jesus Christ, what the hell do you want from us?  Did you come here to preach the word of "The Socialist" Frederick William Sillik?  You've come here from out of nowhere to start picking fights with anyone who is stupid enough to engage. Sheesh give it a rest.  You obviously haven't read ANYTHING Mike or I have posted in this site and you are completely out of touch with anybody here.  

You do appear to be deranged, I could be wrong, but your choice of words and self-adoration with condemnation of all for ideas and positions not held by those you attack.  Complete projection, all of it.

LOL!

That's going to be too much for "the Socialist."  We must pity the poor soul's mental gymnastics for trying to put a square peg in a round hole.  The only way a socialist (traditional meaning) can justify the violence he condones against those who will not follow commands, is to twist his/her mind into apparent paradoxes and monolithic thinking.  It's gotta be nuts in there.

I doubt Dr Fuller has made such an assumption.  I have met plenty of Christians that live according to their beliefs — Orthodox Jews, Muslims, and die hard communists that live according to their beliefs, too.  But I would agree that hypocrisy is rampant — particularly among the most vocal proponents.
