Collectivism

Freedom and the free society are once again under direct attack by those who espouse far-greater degrees of government control over people’s lives.

Executive Editor Justin Haskins joined TrendChat with Brian Bledsoe at CPAC 2019 to discuss his new book Socialism Is Evil: The Moral Case Against Marx’s Radical Dream ($1.99 on Amazon) and the evils of socialism. 

One of the most accusatory and negative words currently in use in various politically “progressive” circles is that of “Neo-Liberalism.”

The current counter-revolution against liberty is being fought on a number of fronts in American society.

Personal and economic freedom are under attack in the United States and in many other parts of the world. This is seen most clearly in this year’s contest for the White House. In all the rhetoric about America’s political, social, and economic problems that is heard from the lips of the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, there is one phrase that is hardly ever mentioned or considered important: the liberty of the individual.

Election years are depressing experiences for friends of freedom. The campaign stump, invariably, brings out even more of the worst in mainstream politicians who make their living by making promises they cannot keep through spending other people’s money. The 2016 presidential election cycle has only magnified this pattern.

America! For more than 250 years the word has represented hope, opportunity, a second chance, and freedom. In America the accident of a man’s birth did not have to serve as an inescapable weight that dictated a person’s fate or that of his family. The American identity is shaped, not predetermined. We are a society of the free.
