American Socialism And Communism

An ideology as defined by Merriam-Webster is “a systematic body of concepts especially about human life or culture.” This specifically does not relate to politics, but when applied it means a body of concepts that define a country's goals and views of citizenry. All ideologies; religion, communism, socialism, and liberalism have varying traits and goals led by their governments. An example of these differences is that communism values equality while liberalism values freedom. Some do not last too long, while others have spread, liberalism especially. These ideologies also have had opposition throughout history and have had an effect on the entire world. Political ideologies throughout the world, including liberalism as can be seen in Great

Socialism in America has progressed substantially and is not bettering The United States. Socialism is a political theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. In much lighter terms socialism is where a government owns and runs everything in the country to, in theory, better the nation for the people. To increase the growth and help the economy in America the people need to learn what socialism is, learn why socialism does not benefit America, limit the federal government’s power, and look at statistics of the poor people in America.

“ Foner means that the main question of ‘ Why is there no socialism in the United States?’ has been layered down into very little distinctive questions. But this does not explain why the United States has not became a socialist , the problem is generally defined as the absence in the United States of a large avowedly social democratic political party. For example the Labour party of Britian, the French Socialist party, and the Communist party of Italy. American writers generally infer a mass socialist consciousness among the working classes of these countries. So the question ‘ why is there no socialism?’ really means, why is the United States the only advanced capitalist nation whose political system lacks a social democratic

“Socialism is an ideal state, but it can never be achieved while man is so selfish”. Socialism is a selfless government system that spreads wealth in the place of greed. In a socialistic government the government regulates all means of production to prevent the overflow and insufficiency of goods. This would help reduce debt and balance financial growth. Introducing socialism into America would be beneficial for the american people by stabilizing economic growth, decrease the financial tension between countries, and allow the american people to gain success by spreading wealth.

In making this case, Sanders often harkens back to FDR: “[Roosevelt] saw one-third of the nation ill-housed, ill-clad and ill-nourished and he acted, against the ferocious opposition of the ruling class of his day. … Roosevelt implemented a series of programs that put millions of Americans back to work, took them out of dire poverty and restored their faith in government. Almost every program he produced, every idea he introduced, was called socialist.”

Bernie Sanders is a son of an immigrant and has realized that the vast majority of Americans at one point stemmed from immigration. It is the fundamental belief that the U.S. has a better opportunity for all people. His proactive plan includes a path to citizenship for eleven million undocumented Americans, a future policy to uphold our country’s beliefs, and to balance trade agreements Thousands of people immigrated through Angel Island, “ 22 million immigrants entered the country through Ellis Island and the Port of New York,” (“How Many Immigrants”) and eleven million undocumented people from the U.S.’s southern border have entered the country illegally. Sanders stands for equality for all Americans, not only the ones with papers. This candidate stands for an America that takes pride in caring for thy neighbor and being a haven for the oppressed. Bernie Sanders stands with us, not against us.

After World War 1, the world was left displaced with different types of governments. Communism arose as one of the prominent governments in the world, causing a big conflict. At that time, Catholics stepped up in the attempt to end Communism. One person who played a main role in leading the Catholics against Communism was Bishop Sheen. Sheen writes, “Sheen advocated a militant stand by the Church along with a militant spirit of democracy, confident that the Church's position would be vindicated, and that good would triumph over evil”. (An American Catholic Response to the Twentieth Century Pg. 67). Fulton wrote many books, bringing the church together to go against Communism. The Paschal Mystery that Fulton wrote about was the ending of Communism

Communism is the new enemy! Communism is now here in America, will it stay? The newest threat since The Great War has people of all over the states paranoid. Now that communism flourished in Russia many Americans are terrified about having the new government established in our homeland. Many government officials question if Communism succeeded in Russia, will it succeed in The United States? Now that the radical formed the Communist Labor Party, communism is present in our nation but it isn’t a big deal, for now. People are turning on other people because of this incident. People are getting out of control.

After World War II, the United States entry through the bombing of Pearl Harbor stressed the important role that the United States would have among countries and other great powers like Germany, France and Britain. Through the Truman Doctrine and reparation acts for Germany, to re-establish their nation but now into a democratic one, the goal was to keep communism in one place through containment policies. The use of propaganda and the media helped set the stage for America to fear communism, thus it was necessary for communism to only be in the Soviet Union. Furthermore the Monroe Doctrine was invoked to further contain communism ideology. Even though this piece of legislation was passed in 1823, that clearly stated that no European nation

Working incredibly hard his entire life was the key factor behind his Socialist point of view. In “The Outlook for Socialism in the United States” Debs gives insight as to how difficult life is as a hardworking laborer. He proposes that rights for all be equal and fair, but especially for the hardworking individuals that understood his hardships. He was opposed to both Republicans and Democrats, fueled by the belief that neither party truly cared about the working class nor treated them fairly. He sought out to remind these working-class men that both parties were capitalists, despite the sayings about Democrats being the “poor man’s party”. He urged that capitalism be over thrown and was a strong advocate for changing the way all forms of production, trade and exchange were controlled.

“I have here in my hand a list of two hundred and five people that were known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department.

The Socialists Party USA comes out against domination and exploitation of any kind and they feel the laws need to enforce that everyone is treated equitably. The individual does not have a “right” to be treated any better than anyone else. The individual’s place is as a part of the social and

Like in 1984 how we have big brother in control. It brings up how our own government is turning against us and homeland security is trying to squash local militias. Personal favorite speaks of how trump has rapidly passed his executive orders as

Over the past couple of years, I have watched numerous political debates, from social issues to economic policies. I have watched debates between the quick-speaking Ben Shapiro, and the bullish Cenk Uygur. Cenk always makes a statement, and when given counter-evidence, his only reply is “Google it”. Shapiro throws out three or even four pieces of evidence for every point he makes. When Cenk gets upset, he lashes out at the crowd; Shapiro remains level-headed and only attacks the argument.

This president, who wants to inflict socialism onto the American People, has led the country into unknown territory as far as the American people are concerned. The American people have rejected socialism at ever turn. The polls continue to show this country is headed in the wrong direction by overwhelming margins. In addition, the American people have continued to reject this president’s policies at every turn. In the next election, we the voters can show force by rejecting the politicians who want to continue down this slippery slope. This country is the greatest country in the world regardless of those who continue to hate this country and its founding. They can be found in our schools where they are determined to teach the kids about
