<p>&ldquo;The goal of Socialism is Communism&rdquo;.  ;Vladimir Lenin once said that.  ;To the average person, particularly one who has been a product of the new American education system, it is a contradictory statement.  ;We have been told and retold ad nauseam that there is a difference between Socialism and Communism.  ;Communism is the very bad C word that denotes images of Stalin&rsquo;s Purge and Mao&rsquo;s Cultural Revolution.  ;</p>
<p>Socialism, on the other hand, is the misunderstood light version of that with imagery of Sweden and Denmark dancing through our minds.  ;What the illustrious professors of our prestigious institutions forget to put into the conversation is that they are stepping stones to the same outcome; a complete takeover of society by the central authority.</p>
<p>If one were to take the time and read the Communist Manifesto, you will find out some interesting tidbits on how Marxists think.  ;To begin, they view the world in a series of strategic phases.  ;Human Society has progressed in a series of time periods beginning with the &ldquo;Primitive Communist&rdquo; phase where all man was tribal and shared communally with others of his/her tribe.  ;This is followed by the Slave State, the Feudal State, the Capitalist State, the Socialist State, the Communist State.  ;</p>
<p>Socialism is merely a means to an end for these radical left-wing ideologues and they will continue to chip away ever so slowly in order to reach their goal of a communist utopian state.  ;It doesn&rsquo;t help that every Communist in history has often referred to himself/herself as a Socialist, making the distinction even less pronounced.  ;To prove my point, it wasn&rsquo;t the United Soviet Communist Republic but the United Soviet SOCIALIST Republic that we fought our Cold War with.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;re probably asking what the point to all of this is.  ;What exactly are you getting at?  ;What I am getting at is that Bernie Sanders and his Socialist agenda are not the innocent pups he and his followers make it out to be.  ;He is as much a Soviet as Putin was when he was KGB.</p>
<p>Both look to a future where Communism has become the core of the international community.  ;Bear in mind it was not Trump supporters that have stormed Sanders&rsquo; rallies and assaulted police and followers, but the other way around.  ;Sanders&rsquo; followers are the violent Red Guard out to silence any who do not follow the road to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.  ;</p>
<p>The Stage of Socialism is meant centralize all aspects of the capitalist state and begins to overwhelm its institutions, such as currency through hyperinflation, to force a society into a true communist state.  ;When that occurs, of course, the select few who had been placed in charge of all aspects of a society are then to give up unlimited power and usher in a sort of direct democracy.  ;This is the part that a lot of Communist dictators seem to have trouble fulfilling.  ;So we are left in a Soviet-style tyranny.</p>
<p>A vote for Sanders is a vote for the Soviet Union.  ;He is very much a traitor to this country and a Red Commie.  ;He has advocated for the nationalization of banks and energy companies.  ;He has advocated for price fixing and centralized control of commerce.  ;He has promoted groups such as the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, even praising Ortega as a &ldquo;good guy&rdquo;.  ;He had contact with the Soviet Union and even hung a Soviet flag in his office at Burlington.  ;</p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t be fooled by the Semantics game with Marxists.  ;Communism and Socialism may have subtle differences but they are links in the same chain the bind society in bondage.</p>
