Communism, Socialism, Capitalism and Wealth

Patrick L. Booth

by Patrick L. Booth, Contributing Author: No single other philosophy has resulted in so much misery and death as has communism, socialism at the point of a gun, forced subservience to an elite few. Communism arose in England from the demented mind of a fool who refused to work to support his family even when given the opportunities. He believed himself such an intellectual he was above mere labor.

The evil was adopted by Russians to enslave that entire nation, murdering millions of their own citizens, by proclaiming itself as liberation. It was sustained and driven by underlings given sufficient power and wealth by the elite to make them think, they too would someday become the wealthy elite. Then Russian exported its evil to other nations resulting in the widespread poverty and misery of socialism in China, Germany, Indonesia, North Korea, Myanmar, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.

When the USSR imploded due to its own foolish excesses and the stupidity of socialism that had resulted in foods rotting in the field and widespread starvation, the whole world cheered. Russia then adopted a limited form of individual capitalism and once again began to grow sufficiently to feed itself and expand its wealth. There were certainly excesses as some took advantage of the vacuum of power but Russia can again sustain itself.

Capitalism is the miracle that changed the world. Since the early 19th Century capitalism and individual liberty has allowed billions of people to escape poverty and hunger. In the 20th century almost all of Europe, the USA, most of South America, large portions of Asia, India, and Japan all adopted forms of capitalism and the wealth resulting raised most of those citizens from poverty into previously unimaginable wealth and prosperity. Even China finally adopted a form of individual capitalism which brought that huge nation incredible wealth which has greatly improved the living conditions of most of that nation's citizens as well.

Where starvation was once the expected norm of all large populations prior to the 19th century, even Ireland and England, only the remote, isolated, and still socialist despotisms of nations suffer mass starvations with billions more population than ever. As individual capitalism took hold as a political reality worldwide, starvation became rare and wealth soared. It wasn't the industrial revolution alone but the political philosophical changes that came with mechanical industry that resulted in the banishment of starvation for the masses and food aplenty for most of the world. China is a great example wherein they faced annual hunger and barely were able to produce enough to feed even the elitists but now have more than enough to allow large exports of food stuffs , some of which is now sustaining its communist client, North Korea.

Now most of Europe seems to wish to descend back into the misery of socialism. Politicians seeking personal power are preaching socialism allows less labor, more individual liberty and free time without either realizing or ignoring the simple fact that individual capitalism was the basis of the formation of the wealth that allows such laziness. No government has any monies or wealth not produced by its citizens. To continue to allow large immigrations of ignorant, uneducated, diseased, impoverished Islamists who do not believe they should have to work for what they consider their (religiously taught) inferiors but should be sustained by the very capitalism and wealth Europe once produced will result in impoverishment, desolation, and starvation.

America is widely and wisely rejecting the democrat party and its socialistic leadership which wants to continue the foolish immigration of ignorant, uneducated, and impoverished people because they believe such will sustain their power in office through the ballot box. If we continue to elect moral, Christian and capitalistic minded individuals, America will continue to expand its wealth but should we revert to socialism and expand welfare, we will fail as a nation.
