Amerika: How Free Are We Really?

1.  This series will look at our government and compare it to other governments. We will also strip away all the comforts and the bullshit of our government along with other governing styles. We will look at why systems like Communism failed in Russia but has succeded in China. We will look at why Socialism has failed in some countries and has succeeded in countries like Finland and Denmark. Or does it fail?

3.     We Americans have been told for generation that Socialism and Communism are two birds of the same egg. Meaning they are the same thing spelled differently. We are told it always fails. And that Communist are cold blooding killers. But don’t ask about the body count of capitalism. That is a no-no. Over the next few weeks, we will look at the men who brought these ideologies to us. We will examine the lies we have been told as well. Let’s start by defining each Governing style.

5.     Republic - This is tricky as it can mean a variety of things. Look at America in its current state. Today it resembles a fascist government. Webster’s dictionary Republic is a government in which the citizens have full control of who is in the government and how things are done. (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/republic) This is what we are brainwashed to believe we have. Do we? How did our last round of elections go? You had two people representing two parties. Yet we have over 20 brands of coffee to choose from in a store. Back to the last two candidates, we had two oligarchs with one being less despised as the other. Lovely! Well, the one who was less despised won. Make no doubt he is owned by the higher up oligarchs own him. I am talking about the money masters who give to campaigns.

8. Democracy - This again according to Webert’s is a government of the people. (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/democracy#note-1) Again, growing up I was this is what we have. So are we a Republic or a Democracy? Does anyone even know what do they both mean? I doubt it. Now comes the question of how can you take democracy to a country against their will? You can’t.

10. Socialism - Webster has this defined as government ownership of everything. ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism) Of course, there are as many shades of this as there are of red. It would be fair to say it could be defined as the point between communism and capitalism. Meaning it’s not outright dictatorship nor is this psychologically unbalanced system we have. There is no opportunity for exploiting people. So no, the capitalist doesn’t like it or communism. There are many countries that have Socialist aspects to their government which is thriving: IE Finland. Finland has a true form of Socialism, not this nonsense we have been brainwashed to believe. They are free to have their own business and they vote. They continue to fight to keep their cradle to grave insurance because comes from their taxes. Finland is an example of a Democratic Socialist country.

12. Communism - A system of distributing goods as they are needed not wanted (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communism) This was based on Karl Marx’s theory that when you overthrow a capitalist you have a just system. Keep in mind that Karl Marx was an economist not a government political parasite.
13. Something I was never taught about in school was the things that Communists achieved. Such as, young students like Anastasia Denisova went to the countryside and did a poll on how many people were able to read and write. The ones who could do either was taught to. (Communism - The Promise and the Reality - Red Flag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGMJuhGWZSw&t=914s)
14. This was repeated in China and Cuba.

19. Fascist - Webster defines this as a system with a dictator (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascist). Now is where things get complicated. We have been on a march in this direction for generations. But how did we get here? Brazil is a Fascist country according to the World Population Review. http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/fascist-countries/ In South America they are our closest ally. Because the two governments are so similar. Birds of a feather people.

21. During 1930 we had two critical events happen at one time: Great Depression and the Dust Bowls in the Mid-West. The dust bowls came though like the wrath of God because farmers had torn the soil lose and destroyed it. I will be sharing stories from We Had Everything But Money, a book with stories from people who survived the Depression and the Dust Bowls. FDR created programs like the WPA (Works Progress Administration) and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) is still operating. The WPA was dissolved in 1943 once things turned around and we were in WW II. It was no longer needed. FDR established many more programs that we still benefit from today. But how do you think he paid for these programs? He taxed his friends 100% because they had all the money. No one else had money. That and he was pressured by the Communist and Socialist Party of America. Keep in mind, 1917 wasn’t that far back. The bloody civil war that took place after it was still fresh in his mind.
