Ever Wonder Why Young People Are So Against Capitalism?
Last night as I read the histories of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and Mao's rise to power, and became more and more stunned at the incredible parallels present in our own country, one overriding similarity was present with all of them. Forced indoctrination of the youth, to the extent that children grew up to not only be mindless drones of the State, but to even turn on their parents who remembered a time before and were not willing to follow the party line.
The radicals in our own country have taken a slightly different path to the same end. Rather than impose violence and fear upon the people to accept this indoctrination and the loss of freedom, they have slowly but surely pushed their ideology in the public school system for 40 years, quietly weakening resistance and converting the youth to their cause. Today many American's would be hard pressed to explain the benefits or weaknesses of a republic, or communism, or socialism, or Fascism. Not to mention the inner workings and benefits of capitalism. In fact, the lines between all of these have been so blurred over the years that the average American doesn't really know the difference or why the founders chose to reject these failed ideologies in favor of capitalism and the republic.
Ironically, I often find myself in arguments with people of all ages that steadfastly believe capitalists are really the harbingers of totalitarianism. Has history been so distorted that the horrors inflicted by communist and fascist regimes have been completely forgotten? Have the atrocities that claimed the lives of over 100 million been so easily forgotten in less than a century? Is the adage "those that forget history are destined to repeat it" becoming a reality in our society?
Take the time to watch this video being shown to children all over America, then you will understand how the amazing destruction of our way of life is being achieved before our very eyes.
