[Rhodes22-list] Marxism in USA - Big Al delete, Political

[Tootle]

Robert Skinner said:  "2. Health care - Rationalize the chaotic patchwork of
health care in the US.  While there must be limits of what can be provided
as the basic floor under all US citizens, it is essential that there be some
minimum of health care for all."

It is basic to Marxism to use the power of government to compel people. 
Where is it said in the American Constitution the central government is to
impose minimum floors of health care or educational attainment, et al?

The neo-Marxist wants to compel minimum health care to all.  How is this
result to be obtained?  Use the power of central government to impose their
ethereal minimum floor.  That floor is achieved by confiscating from those
who have attained some wealth and give it those needing that 'minimum
floor'.  

Everyone needs to understand, no matter how noble the cause, it is still
Marxism, totalitarianism, and those who advocate it by what ever term they
use to describe themselves, be it Progressive, Liberal, Enlightened, are
still advocating Communism, Totalitarism!

The question was posed by Bob Skinner, “Who would you have starve as you
express your antipathy toward tax-supported social programs?”  The question
belies the truth.  No one starves who chooses not to.  You have many
organizations, both religious and otherwise that feed others.  Many churches
assist with what we call soup kitchens.  Other organizations supply
sustenance such as ‘Meals on Wheels’ .  That argument is simply an
falsehood.

And the statement was made, “Anyway, as George the second said, "The
constitution is just a piece of paper."  Right?”  Wrong, it is a
intellectual concept as a basis for freedom.  It is a way of for people to
achieve their potential.  It is an economic system that has been shown to
provide greater benefit to mankind than Marxism.  Its results speak for
themselves.

It was further stated, “As a citizen of this country, I have the right --
and obligation -- to work toward keeping it relevant and successful in the
here and now.  So do you.“   Yes, and I have an obligation to point out to
others, those like you who espouse a economic system that will destroy the
economic system that created what we now have. 

I rather think that it is important to understand what Harry Jaffa pointed
out, "Free speech is a priceless and indispensable attribute of a free
society because it is a necessary means for deliberating upon public policy. 
But this deliberation does not extend to everything."  ‘Free speech is not
false when it denies the use of the liberty to those intent on destroying
the free society.’

It must be told, and told over and over, that those advocating Marxism are
advocating the destruction of America.
