As we head into the election season it would be smart to keep in mind the motivations behind the ideas and utterings of our progressive friends. I decided it might be of interest to consider the definition of a word. This is a word that is at the heart of progressive thought. It lays the foundation for progressive policy. Get to know this word so that when you hear the lovely promises of hope and change you will not be fooled by the pretty sounding words. The real objective is:
collectivism:
1 a : a politico-economic system characterized by collective control especially over production and distribution of goods and services in contrast to free enterprise *forces that have led to individualism have in the last fifty years been successfully opposed by the forces of collectivism M.R.Cohen* b : extreme control of the economic, political, and social life of its subjects by an authoritarian state (as under communism or fascism) c : a doctrine or system that makes the group or the state actively responsible for the social and economic welfare of its members
2 : a social theory or doctrine that emphasizes the importance of the collective (as the society or state) in contrast to the individual and that tends to analyze society in terms of collective behavior
Pay attention as you hear the candidates speak of their plans for America…vote wisely in November.
