Don Ewing: Don’t fall for Marxist ‘paradises’ peddled by Democrats

To The Daily Sun,

Many Democrat Party candidates claim to be “Democratic Socialists,” Socialists, and Communists; other Democrats claim to be “Progressives,” while expressing similar ideas.

In the past many Democrats extolled the benefits of various forms of Marxism, e.g., Fascism, Nazism, Socialism, and Communism. They praised Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong, and more recently Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.

In the last century various forms of Marxist governments favored over Capitalism by many of our youth (and some older people who should know better) murdered about 100 million of their own citizens to create their Marxist “Paradises.”

Millions of people risked/risk their lives to escape those Marxist “Paradises,” some dodged bullets while crossing the Berlin Wall, some flee in flimsy boats, others travel through dangerous lands. No one risks their lives fleeing Capitalist countries.

People’s actions show that Marxist “Paradises” aren’t paradises; they aren’t fairer, freer, safer, or better for most people than Capitalist countries, in fact they are worse in every way.

In Marxist paradises most people are poor; only the people in power (those with guns) and their friends become rich. In capitalist systems people get rich by offering goods and services that people voluntarily choose to purchase.

Democrat politicians adopted Marxist ideas as an easy way to get political support by preying on people’s ignorance and weaknesses, e.g., envy, greed, laziness, and gullibility to good-sounding ideas/promises.

Just like in Marxist “Paradises” everywhere, when Democrats implement Marxist ideas they create poverty, high taxes, high crime, less freedom, and bureaucratic nightmares that cause many honest, hardworking people to flee Democrat controlled states and cities.

Don’t fall for the Marxist “Paradises” peddled by Democrat politicians; only people in power will prosper and they won’t care that the rest of us live in poverty and fear.
