SOCIALISM: Here's what it will get you

It’s really sad that Karen Ball doesn’t think Socialism is “scary.”

Apparently she doesn’t realize that Socialism means that no private property can exist. All property will be owned by the state. I guess that isn’t “scary” for her, but it is to me. Is iT “scary” for you?

Then, since she, along with everyone else, won’t own any property themselves (private property), they will have to get everything they need from the state, which will own everything. Is that “scary” for you? It is for me.

The state, of course, will be led by self-proclaimed “leaders,” such as Bernie Sanders (Fidel Castro), who will parcel out whatever you need according to what they think you deserve. You can get your food in food lines, your clothes in state-run dispensaries, your housing in government-supplied barracks and your transportation in government-owned transit buses.

You, of course, will have to work, so you will work where the state says you will work, which might be anywhere. Let’s see, it could be on a farm, digging ditches, in a food bank, perhaps a chicken coop, etc. The possibilities are endless.

The future can be seen now. Just look at Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, etc. They are the “paradise on Earth” Socialists yearn for.
