RE: Large-scale socialism is ultimately harmful to a society
You and I are Very much on the same page. I agree that the war between the two major political parties is insignificant compared to the (unacknowledged) war between all of the minions and the small group of elite. Absolutely. I'd like to hear more about your thoughts on this, but maybe on another post that one of us makes (or maybe you have already made).
However, I will still defend all of the above. I did not say that Republicans are spot on, or anything of the nature. I did say, and can prove, that Democrats/liberalism is "spot off." It's completely misguided. Good intentions prima facie, destructive results just a couple steps down the road.
So why do I speak out against it when, as we agree, the bigger fight is against a common enemy? Because liberalism/Democrats/socialism is a cancer that is weakening us. I believe that it was contrived by genius specifically to make us easier to enslave and extract from. It will take a multi-faceted approach to make a dent in the enemy's defenses.
Lastly, yes I am focusing on my (US) society. Gotta start somewhere. And we are well-positioned to have global impact.
