Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/money\/property-legal-concept\">property<\/a> for the benefit of all its members.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Merriam-Webster defines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/socialism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">socialism<\/a> as &#8220;various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/egalitarian\">egalitarian<\/a> economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods&#8221;.&nbsp; Ok, so right now the government doesn&#8217;t technically &#8220;own&#8221; the production and distribution of goods, but perhaps by directly taking money from the people it indirectly controls production and distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With recent elections the fear and concern over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/party-zohran-mamdani-emerges-democratic-kingmaker-socialist-allies-sweep-nyc-primaries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">socialism<\/a> spreading in the U.S. has been blasted across television screens.&nbsp; What a joke.&nbsp; America has been sliding towards a socialist state for over a century as the government has expanded and created \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.gov\/benefits\">programs<\/a>\u201d for societal benefit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was President Lincoln who first&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Revenue_Act_of_1861\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">initiated<\/a>&nbsp;a temporary income tax that lasted ten <a href=\"https:\/\/constitutioncenter.org\/blog\/say-happy-birthday-to-the-first-income-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">years<\/a>&nbsp;to pay for the civil war.&nbsp; There were multiple other stabs at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davemanuel.com\/us-income-tax-history.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">establishing<\/a> an income tax, but it was President Woodrow Wilson who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Underwood-Simmons-Tariff-Act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ushered<\/a> in a permanent income tax that has dogged everyone since.&nbsp; Thus began taking from some to give to others, the wealth redistribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since that time the government has been using more wealth redistribution to seize control over American lives.&nbsp; President Franklin Roosevelt thought it would be dandy to take <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Social_Security_Act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">money<\/a> from Americans and decide how to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/08\/90th-anniversary-of-the-social-security-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">redistribute<\/a> it for their retirement, or outright take it if the person died before eligible to receive it.&nbsp;&nbsp;While he was at it, he also decided the government should provide <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Federal_Housing_Administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing<\/a> to everyone.&nbsp; To ensure food was &#8220;divided as fairly as possible&#8221;, he started the food <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/documents\/message-congress-the-food-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">program<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Johnson just <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Great_Society\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expanded<\/a> the wealth redistribution by <a href=\"https:\/\/thelegalguide.org\/who-started-food-stamp-program-its-evolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feeding<\/a>&nbsp;people and extending government control into <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Great_Society\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">education<\/a> and more&nbsp;housing.&nbsp; Not believing that was enough he also managed to get the government to redistribute money for the health care <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/medicare-and-medicaid-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sector<\/a> and how care would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicare.gov\/providers-services\/original-medicare\/not-covered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doled<\/a> out.&nbsp; President Carter ensured the population would be indoctrinated on this socialist agenda by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/documents\/executive-order-12212-the-department-education\">creating<\/a> the Department of Education.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This redistribution of wealth has sucked the life out of the average American&#8217;s ability to improve their lives because the government has decided how their money would be spent.&nbsp; No, it\u2019s not direct government ownership, but it is certainly public control over the use of resources, and how they are distributed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Housing has just continued to be a target for government control.&nbsp; Section 8 is intended to provide monetary assistance for housing to low income and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.gov\/housing-voucher-section-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">individuals<\/a>.&nbsp; However, now that subsidy can be used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/personal-finance\/mortgages\/section-8-homeownership-program?op=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buy<\/a> the house for the individual.&nbsp; There is some thought that property taxes <a href=\"https:\/\/millionvoices.org\/property-taxes-the-unseen-threat-to-ownership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remove<\/a> full home ownership rights because if not paid the government can seize the house.&nbsp; Equity theft of a home by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/us\/articles\/u-supreme-court-orders-lower-173318759.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">government<\/a> would seem to most as illegal, yet persists as an unresolved issue.&nbsp; In spite of some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/06\/23\/nx-s1-5867575\/congress-passes-housing-affordability-bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tantrums<\/a> complicating the issue, the government is still trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jun\/23\/housing-bill-bipartisan-house-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">control<\/a> the housing market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the biggest affront on housing right now is the deceitful propaganda regarding \u201caffordable housing\u201d.&nbsp; For most people in the trenches, they understand that these cracker box housing units from <a href=\"https:\/\/rrmodelcraftsman.com\/walthers-post-war-prefab-cracker-box-house-kit\/\">yesteryear<\/a> are bought up by corporations for investments.&nbsp; And the government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morganlewis.com\/pubs\/2026\/07\/congress-limits-institutional-acquisition-of-single-family-homes\">knows<\/a> it.&nbsp; It really is a fulfillment of Agenda <a href=\"http:\/\/information-habitat.net\/agenda21\/a21-07.htm\">21<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\/goal11\">2030<\/a>, and has been driven by the World Economic Forum (WEF).&nbsp; Many of the points made in this WEF <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/videos\/housing-crisis-driver\">video<\/a> are seen happening in local communities today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the government does control Medicare and Medicaid, it also <a href=\"https:\/\/healthpoint.com\/public-policy\/how-is-private-health-insurance-regulated-in-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">controls<\/a> how private insurance is administered.&nbsp; Since the takeover of healthcare, costs have <a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dramatically<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/insuredandmore.com\/why-is-access-to-healthcare-a-problem-in-the-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">access<\/a> is more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confido.health\/blog\/patient-access-in-healthcare-why-patients-cant-get-through\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">difficult<\/a>, which is a <a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/how-price-control-leads-to-socialism\/\">dynamic<\/a> of socialism.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than a strict definition of socialism, maybe a more generalized definition could include governments <a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/how-socialism-discourages-work-and-creates-poverty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">taking<\/a> &#8220;control of people\u2019s property\u2014whether by fully nationalizing businesses, mandating what and how much a company must produce, or seizing and distributing their products&#8221;.&nbsp; Certainly, the government continues efforts to dictate housing markets and has seized how healthcare is delivered.&nbsp; It may be that the traditional definition of socialism is being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2019\/08\/empathy-can-create-a-new-economic-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modified<\/a> for a more covert implementation, and in some cases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/procon\/American-socialism-debate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intermixed<\/a> with capitalism, much of what has happend in other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/investing\/081514\/socialist-economies-how-china-cuba-and-north-korea-work.asp\">countries<\/a>.&nbsp; Then there is also the current <a href=\"https:\/\/thefreethoughtproject.com\/government-corruption\/the-technocratic-trump-administration-the-public-private-partnership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slew<\/a> of public-private <a href=\"https:\/\/mises.org\/austrian\/new-socialism-public-private-partnership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">partnerships<\/a>, another socialistic sleight of hand.&nbsp; Why is the White House even <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/briefings-statements\/cea-report-opportunity-costs-socialism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discussing<\/a> socialism?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There really isn&#8217;t any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/state-legislatures-news\/details\/faq-the-education-department-and-the-federal-role-in-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">area<\/a> now in which the government does not have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/money\/agricultural-economics\/Government-intervention\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stranglehold<\/a>, right down to what we <a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/the-government-has-been-meddling-in-food-and-nutrition-for-a-long-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In return, we have an emerging society that wants that government control to expand and supports the idea that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ap.org\/news-highlights\/spotlights\/2025\/what-americans-think-about-socialism-and-capitalism-according-to-a-new-gallup-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">socialism<\/a> is a good model, there is no reason anyone should be surprised.&nbsp; As money runs out for all of these socialistic programs, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pgpf.org\/article\/taxing-the-rich-could-raise-trillions-but-that-alone-wont-fix-our-fiscal-crisis\/#fl-main-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">move<\/a> is also on to take more <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/gavin-newsom-billionaires-tax-ebb72ccf542ae5dc2f444d16000f307c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">money<\/a> from those who are wealthier.&nbsp; They fail to see that it is the taking of money from others for control that has caused the problem of needing to take more.&nbsp; As Margaret Thatcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socratic-method.com\/quote-meanings\/margaret-thatcher-the-problem-with-socialism-is-that-you-eventually-run-out-of-other-peoples-money\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>, &#8220;The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples&#8217; money.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As long as the government continues to have control over these multiple sectors, the march towards a full socialistic state will continue.&nbsp; It is just being integrated in a way that is more difficult to recognize, but socialism may already be here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britannica defines socialism as a &#8220;social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather
