It seems there is not a left-wing cause that isn\u2019t supported by billionaires George Soros, Bill Gates, or others of their ilk. It seems as well that such a position would be counter-intuitive. The rich, we tend to think, want to hold on to their wealth while socialism wants to take it away. This anomaly is profoundly telling, revealing the ugly truth about socialism.<\/p>\n
Over the years I\u2019ve been blessed to serve from time to time outside local killing centers. I go not to protest but to proclaim the gospel, to call on those about to murder their own child to repent and embrace the cross. I do so knowing that the powers of darkness actively proclaim their anti-gospel. One very simple argument I often make goes like this- there are people out here like me who are not paid to be here bringing you the message of Jesus. These people stand ready to help you in every way possible- clothes, diapers, counsel, rent, cribs, for free. The people inside that are trying to persuade you to go through with this are all here to get paid. The moment you tell them you have no money they will kick you right out of the door. Which group do you think is more trustworthy? Which group do you think has your best interests at heart?”<\/p>\n
What then is in it for limousine liberals? Power. The ugly truth is that socialism isn\u2019t about a more equitable redistribution of wealth, and never has been. It is always about increasing the power of those in positions of power. George Soros isn\u2019t driven by a desire for more money. Bill Gates doesn\u2019t go to work each day to earn another buck to buy another trinket. They seek greater power, more control over the lives and decisions of people like you and me. Socialism isn\u2019t so much an economic system built on \u201cfrom each according to his ability, to each according to his need\u201d as it is a political system built on, \u201cThe state will decide what you do, what you have, where you go, how you live.\u201d Or, to put it as the World Economic Forum, a hive of the hyper-wealthy, puts it, \u201cYou\u2019ll own nothing and you\u2019ll be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truth be told there are some wealthy people, billionaires even, who labor to promote free market economics. These are people who believe that greater freedom would allow for greater wealth for themselves. They also believe it would allow for greater wealth for everyone. More important still, what they seek is less government making decisions for a free people. Free market proponents want people to be left alone to make their own decisions while socialism proponents want people to never be left alone nor allowed to make any decisions. The latter seek tyranny. The latter seek liberty. The former \u201cprosper\u201d by controlling what is not their own. The latter prosper by meeting the desires of the market. <\/p>\n
Do not be fooled. Socialists are not seeking fairness, but raw power. As George Orwell put it, \u201cIf you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face \u2013 forever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
