A message to all Americans:
Out of this time of distorted history and confused ideas comes a story. A story, not taught in schools anymore and known by few Americans.
This is a story of Socialism and Communism.
This is a story of America.
This is a true story.
This is a story of America.
This is a true story.
Americans do not need to listen to Socialist professors and teachers , with their misguided agenda, or hear speeches by the progressive left on the wonderful benefits of Socialism to find evidence of failure and the simple truth about this ideology. All we simply need to do is look back at one of the most celebrated groups of people in our history:
The Pilgrims

What most Americans do know is that the Pilgrims, landed in Massachusetts in 1620.
What many don’t know is that the original economic system in many colonies, was a form of:

Socialism and Communism.
The pilgrims who came to Plymouth established a communal system, where
everyone had to share, equally to all, whatever they hunted or grew.

William Bradford served as Governor of Plymouth Colony from 1620 to 1647 and wrote, in great detail, everything that took place in the colony.
Bradford writes:
"all profits & benefits that are got by trade, working, fishing, or any other means" were to be placed in the common stock of the colony, and that, "all such persons as are of this colony, are to have their meat, drink, apparel, and all provisions out of the common stock."
"all profits & benefits that are got by trade, working, fishing, or any other means" were to be placed in the common stock of the colony, and that, "all such persons as are of this colony, are to have their meat, drink, apparel, and all provisions out of the common stock."
A person had to put into the “common stock” all he had but take out only what he needed.
There was no private property
No division of labor.
Food was to be grown by the townspeople and distributed equally to everyone.

Bradford writes:
"young men that are most able and fit for labor and service" complained about being forced to "spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children." Also, "the strong, or man of parts, had no more in division of victuals and clothes, than he that was weak."

So the young and strong refused to work and the total amount of food produced was never adequate.
This "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" was an early form of Socialism and it is why the Pilgrims were starving.

No one had any incentive to work.
Nothing was to be gained by working harder and smarter, or finding new ways to increase the harvest.
The system failed !

Socialism always does!
Production became insufficient and people were starving.
It was becoming a disaster !
In 1623 Bradford decided to try something different:
“1623 Bradford abolished socialism. He gave each household a parcel of land and told them they could keep what they produced, or trade it away as they saw fit. In other words, he replaced Socialism with a free market, and that was the end of famines.
Many early groups of colonists set up socialist states, all with the same terrible results. At Jamestown, established in 1607, out of every shipload of settlers that arrived, less than half would survive their first twelve months in America. Most of the work was being done by only one-fifth of the men, the other four-fifths choosing to be parasites. In the winter of 1609-10, called "The Starving Time," the population fell from five-hundred to sixty.
Then the Jamestown colony was converted to a free market, and the results were every bit as dramatic as those at Plymouth.
In 1614, Colony Secretary Ralph Hamor wrote that after the switch there was "plenty of food, which every man by his own industry may easily and doth procure." He said that when the Socialist system had prevailed, "we reaped not so much corn from the labors of thirty men as three men have done for themselves now."

What does all this mean?
Well, despite all that is being taught and promoted in our schools today:
Socialism does not work !
It never has and never will.
It never has and never will.
It will bring on famines, create debt, crush economies, cause class warfare ( evil rich guy, poor little workers) , set Americans against Americans and completely destroy what our founding fathers and soldiers have fought and died for throughout history.
And for what ?
To replace God with the state and take every bit of liberty and freedom that all of us have enjoyed for over 200 years.
Where the elites know best and the common citizen is just a pawn to their whims and desires.

With less than 5% of the world population the “United States of America” creates more wealth and opportunity for the common person than anywhere else in the world.
We are the place where dreams come true and our capitalist economic system is the driving force for individual freedom and liberty world wide.
With all the complaining and hatred seen in this country today, I don’t see a long line of Americans trying to “escape” this country to go somewhere else.

Where would they go ?
The only thing Socialism and Communism has excelled at throughout history is death, murder and torture.
180,000,000 innocent people !
That’s the utopia envisioned by Marx and Lenin.
That’s a fact !!
