Be careful what you ask for
By Paul Parisi

I am writing this story before the November 4, 2008 election. The outcome from this election might very well have been determined by a social experiment from the 1930’s in pre-Nazi Germany called the Frankfurt School. The Frankfurt School is a school of neo-Marxist theory that continues to this day. Much of today’s socialist agenda was derived from this early philosophy and has become much more main stream that pure Marxism.
After WW I there was a social battle in Europe between Capitalism, Socialism and Fascism. The author Heidi Swander wrote, “The socialists devised a plan that included creating enough chaos and confusion, dysfunction- a ferociously uncivil society- that the people will beg the state to come up with the answers. Once we have achieved that”, the group aspired, “we have our socialist utopia”.
Ask yourself this; have groups like ACORN and other community activists taken up the Marxist banner to cause the crisis in our country that has incited the American voters to ask the government to solve all their problems? Certainly legislation that forced banks to loan money to people who could not afford to repay has contributed to the current financial crisis. ACORN has encouraged many unwitting poor people to apply for such mortgages, only to have their homes foreclosed for non-payment. Rampant voter registration fraud has also been linked to ACORN.
Lets’ get this straight. Capitalism allows individuals to achieve prosperity with little government intervention. Socialism allows the government to control every aspect of commerce. You know, spread the wealth. Take from the rich and give to the undeserving. Now, do you really want the government to solve the problems with the economy? Do you really want the government to socially re-engineer society?
A new president takes office January 2009. How will he fix all the problems with the economy, protect our country from terrorism and attempt to solve the social woes of the poor? When we elect people with socialist tendencies to government, we are contributing to the socialist utopia that Karl Marx himself would be proud of.
