A Leftist Tells The Truth About Socialism

Posted on by William H. Douglas

The propaganda spread about Socialism is vast and deep. From our political institutions to our political institutions to our media platforms, praise and adulation for Socialism is everywhere. The constant indoctrination is hard for most people to break. But, every now and then, the matrix breaks, and someone says the truth. Someone who shouldn’t. Someone whose credentials with the intelligentsia are otherwise impeccable. But the impossible happens. These people tell the truth and, when they do, it is paradigm breaking as they see what was once obfuscated by propaganda and lies. They tell the truth and reveal the lies that deceive the masses.

This article is about just such an occasion.

The Human Nightmare of Science

Posted on by William H. Douglas

The actions of the government are often justified because they are suggested by “experts.” But experts at what, exactly? What gives you the expertise to manage the lives of hundreds of millions people? Or tens of thousands? Or ten? Nothing but pretension and hubris. All their claims of scientific knowledge are nothing but ashes and lies, fed down our throats to fill us with ignorance and death.

Why Conservatism Is Empty, Foolish, And Will Always Fail

Posted on by William H. Douglas

Conservatism is a failed ideology (if it can even be called that) which will never accomplish anything meaningful or substantial. This is because Conservatism is nothing more than the last generation’s Progressivism. The so-called “Progressives” of yesteryear simply grew old, calcified, and became the “Conservatives” as the contemporary “Progressives” have developed whole new agendas to push. In a world where people want their problems solved today, the best Conservatives offer are the nostalgic promises of the blessedness of yesterday. These and its other failures will always prevent it from ever accomplishing anything. Here is why we are not and argue no one ever should be, a “conservative.”

The Three Greatest Threats To The Church And Society: Academia

Posted on by William H. Douglas

In 1993, Apostle Boyd K. Packer delivered an address to church leaders delineating three of the greatest threats to the church and society that not only then existed, but whose influence would only increase and worsen as the years went on.

This article is about the third of those three threats and the worst one of all: the so-called scholars whose ideologies threaten society itself. In this article we review the history of the politically leftist “Progressive” take over of education, their efforts from the very start to use education as a tool to indoctrinate students into their economic, social, and political theories, and how the plan has always been to try and take control of society. We also expose the idolatry at the heart of their claims to be experts guiding society to a better future for the lie it is and provide examples of the real world failures of their lies. Finally, we look at what hope we have for overthrowing their lies and freeing ourselves and our children from the prison of leftist ideology and thereby abort the headlong run into societal collapse it is bringing to pass.

Bioshock Infinite Reveals What Socialism is Really Like

Posted on by William H. Douglas

While its storytelling left something to be desired, Bioshock Infinite still has one of the most important political, economic, and social messages of any major game put out in the last few decades. Though a fictional narrative, Infinite’s presentation of Socialism, both in its revolutionary form and what Socialist governments are actual like, is amazingly true to life. At the same time, Infinite also shows what happens to a society that embraces violence as the vehicle of change and shows the ultimate holocaustal outcome of choosing violence. Herein, I look at how the true nature of Socialism is laid bare for all who play the game, whether they like it or not.

Absolute Proof That Socialism is Slavery

Posted on by William H. Douglas

George Fitzhugh was one of the most influential defenders of slavery in the United States before the Civil War. A severe critic of human liberty and a free society, Fitzhugh argued that wage labor was worse than slavery and that a capitalist society did nothing but lead to the suffering and death for the millions of laborers of lived in it. In his book, “Sociology for the South,” Fitzhugh addresses the similarities between slavery and Socialism/Communism. He explains all the ways that slavery fulfills the promises and goals of Socialism, how the Socialist rejection of a free society inevitably leads to slavery, and how Socialism is the form of slavery that free societies invent to solve the ills of capitalism while still pretending to be free. As shown herein, Fitzhugh clearly explains that Socialism isn’t merely like slavery. Socialism *is* slavery and slavery *is* Socialism in very form and deed, in every way but in the usage of the word itself.

Brigham Young Explains The Evils of Socialism and Public Schools

Posted on by William H. Douglas

In this LDS CLassic, President Young explains that the United Order is based on private property and does not seek to create material or social equality. Instead it promoted economic inequality by rewarding greater profits to those who could earn them. He also explains one of the foundational problems of Socialism and describes how it would only lead to greater poverty than that which it was designed to prevent. He also describes what it will be like when the Saints return to Jackson County to found the City of Zion.

He also addresses the dangers of “free schools” – what we would think of today as tax funded public schools ran by the government. I won’t spoil it here, but he comes out at the end sounding like his name should be Brigham “Taxation is Theft” Young or Brigham “the Government is a Gang of Thieves” Young. He explains how charity is the exact opposite of state taxation and that it works in opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how it brings people together. Though he doesn’t dwell on it here, this also further explains how Socialism in education is also dangerous, counterproductive, and in violation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as how the Saints should eschew public schools and educate their own children.
