Socialism Quotes
So many people are blind to the history of Socialism where Democrats and some Republicans are trying to
take us!
"Socialist Governments Traditionally Do Make A Financial
mess. They Always Run Out Of The Other Peoples Money." Margaret Thatcher
"One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who
have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace
us with their presence." Thomas
Sowell
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing
of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." Winston Churchill
"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but
one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint
and servitude." Alexis de Tocqueville
"Socialism is workable only in heaven where it isn't
needed, and in hell where they've got it" Cecil
Palmer
"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant
that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it" Thomas
Sowell
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill
"Socialism: nothing more than the theory that the slave
is always more virtuous than his master" Henry
Louis Mencken
"Socialism is the religion people get when they lose their
religion" Richard John Neuhaus
"The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's
money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse. The black family- which survived
slavery, discrimination, poverty, wars and depressions- began to come apart as the federal government moved in with its well-financed
programs to "help." Thomas Sowell
"Most people who read "The Communist Manifesto"
probably have no idea that it was written by a couple of young men who had never worked a day in their lives, and who nevertheless
spoke boldly in the name of "the workers" Thomas
Sowell
"Socialism is simply Communism for people without the testosterone
to man the barricades" Gary North
"A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake
at the moment" Willis Player
"Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English"
George Bernard Shaw
"For socialists, not just the wealth, but the guilt, must
be redistributed" Andrew Sandlin
"All socialism involves slavery" Herbert Spencer
"The substance of the eminent Socialist gentleman's
speech is that making a profit is a sin, but it is my belief that the real sin is taking a loss" Winston Churchill
"The function of socialism is to raise suffering to a higher
level."
Norman Mailer
"You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money."
P. J. O'Rourke
"A government policy to rob Peter to pay Paul can be assured
of the support of Paul."
George Bernard Shaw
"Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist
for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his
existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it
deems to be its own tribal, collective good."
Ayn Rand
"To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry
and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry
and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, 'the guarantee to every one of a free exercise
of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.'"
Thomas Jefferson
"A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his
fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money."
G. Gordon Liddy
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good
of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for
our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
C.S.
Lewis
"Collectivism doesn't work because it's based on
a faulty economic premise. There is no such thing as a person's 'fair share' of wealth. The gross national product
is not a pizza that must be carefully divided because if I get too many slices, you have to eat the box. The economy is expandable
and, in any practical sense, limitless."
P. J. O'Rourke
"The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political
left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas
do not have to work in order to survive."
Thomas Sowell
"You cannot bring prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You
cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You
cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further brotherhood of men by inciting class
hatred.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's
initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
Rev. William J. H. Boetcker
