Control is the key focus of
collectivism
Freedom Outpost – Dale Pflug
– 9/5/2014
Americans have been in a
100+ year war to resist the transformation
of our republic into a democracy, then to socialism. The American shift to
socialism has reached an alarming stage with the move to a powerful centralized
federal government. States' rights have been surrendered. During the past 50
years, we have watched socialism increase with the federalization of education,
environment control and adoption of national health care with the addition to
ObamaCare. (A more appropriate name might be DemocracyCare!)
Individualists, particularly
freedom loving Americans, learned the importance of a republic from their
Founding Fathers who insisted on maximum freedom and limiting government to its
most basic functions. Today, the state has become more powerful while allowing
a large role of big corporations with central planning and crony capitalism.
Coercion plays an increasing role in ensuring individuals is control by, and
serve the will of the state. Nationalization
of health care, for example, has forced people to buy health insurance. Big
government has invaded every aspect of our lives.
Federal control of the
educational system has provided the necessary dumbing down of the citizen that
has increased surrender of individual freedoms. Individualism is best
characterized by freedom of the individual while control is the key focus of
collectivism. Many people wonder if the fate of America is destined to collapse as
every collectivist societies that have gone before it. The risks associated
with this change are huge. A massive effort to stop this collapse would be
costly and take decades to achieve if even possible. Each citizen should study
the contrast between individualism and collectivism. There is extensive
information available about collectivism on the Internet. A good starting point
