IN SOCIALISM EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL
69SOCIALISM - BRUTAL SYSTEM
I lived in a socialistic country with Communistic ideology. According to their doctrine everything is political. This means that the individual is nothing just there for political purposes and you are only last wheel in the humongous political machine.
Recently in the clinic I met a new physician’s assistant and he asked where I was from, as he noticed my “cute accent.” I said that I am from Slovakia, formerly Czechoslovakia. He told me that recently he traveled to Europe and visited Germany, Poland and some of the Scandinavian countries. He said he liked it very much. Then he started talk about Socialism. Of course this is one of my favorite subjects. I lived there under Socialism. He said: “Doctor, I am not a socialist.” I thought to myself, “Aha, that’s what you think.”
He told me that how many people here in this country do not have insurance. I told him, that all were artificially created; since the government wants to control everything (which is the Socialistic way) they start first with health care. Thirty years ago in the United States, I did not know one person who complained about not having insurance. I told him that the Socialism-Marxism ideology is taught even in the elementary schools.
He said that in Europe they do not have proper restroom facilities for handicapped children. I should have asked him if his own children are handicapped or not. But I did not because I knew the answer.
God created this earth and man and He knew what we would need and what every solution is. He created not collectivism, but individual, that one should care for his own family. Don’t we have enough to take care of our own family versus the problems for the entire world? But socialists are collectivists.
In Socialism everything is political. The family is political, the church, faith (what you should believe or not), factories, jobs, schools, land, banks. Why? Because everything belongs to the state and everything is controlled by the state, mostly leaders who are not particularly educated in any particular fields or are not educated at all. They are primitive dummies, but they are powerful. They decide about your life. Life does not have any values. The state in Socialism is “the new modern king”, abusive in power and determining our destiny. To brainwash the people and avoid resistance, they organize Town Hall meetings. Propaganda is number one priority and is used to control the masses.
In Socialism everyone must be against war, for the environment and state ownership. In Socialism the government owned the people as well. There was policy of being guilty unless were proven to be innocent. It was brutal system. We call it Socialism.
All new socialistic states claimed they would avoid the Soviet’s mistakes. But they have repeated them all.
Why am I supposed to take the burden of someone who is irresponsible, and their children become dependent on others. Others should pay for their needs with huge taxes. In the old country we use to pay hidden high taxes of about 95%. We did not have any visible taxes. We just received a monthly cash allowance of $ 50 per month. But it was half the pay of factory workers. I could not afford a car for four years since we had to pay cash and a loan was not available. It simply did not exist.
There was censorship and spies everywhere, believing we may be spies and the enemy of the people. The Socialistic regime had a “black book” recording all the bad things you said and did. It was in the style of the Illuminati. When they needed they destroy your reputation and you.
This is what the Americans want? Our current leadership is Socialistic, but the people have not woken up yet. Perhaps it would be too late.

I can see and agree with that. The point about socialist destroy your reputation and you is so correct. Look at Sarah Palin and other conservatives. Sounds like a hub.
Keep on Hubbing!
Outstanding Hub, Brother. A good friend of mine is the Czech Counsel for Florida. His father got out from behind the Iron Curtain because he was a famous jazz saxaphonist and East Germans helped his family escape—because they loved his music. His name is Inochovsky.
Think in the 1960s. Not sure.
Vladaimir,
An excellent hub. My brother married a woman from Slovakia. Hearing her stories of what it was like growing up there were intriguing and informative.
Your observations on healthcare are insightful. When the health insurance idea began, it was a benefit offered by some employers. Now many people wrongly assume it is a right and should be provided by the government. I do not understand the logic of how they could trust an agency that can not protect its schools from shootings, can not balance its budget, nor keep secrets with something as important and personal as ones health.
Ah, the voice of experience. Thank you for an excellent eye-opener. I hope others see and take heed.
Conservatives are funny.
There's never been true socialism just like there's never been true democracy.
Also, access to healthcare IS a human right. Because someone by chance was born into an impoverished family and you were lucky enough to be born into a "middle class" family you deserve health care services and they don't........i don't think so.
If you help the person to your right, and the person to your left, the person in the middle benefits. It's that simple.
There's no kingdom of god, socialism, or democracy!
All there is people, people who need each other, people who have to work in community to survive. "Individuality" is a joke. NO ONE can exist entirely on their own and by themselves. That is a scientific, psychological, and sociological fact.
Religion, humanity, politics...EVERYTHING is evolutionary.
I'm not a socialist, or a rightist, or a democrat or a republican. I'm an evolutionist. Everything evolves.
Do i think democratic socialism is what the world needs right now? YES! But that doesn't mean that's what it will need 100 years from now. Politics needs to transform as the peoples' and world's needs transform.
I'm from Orange County, CA. I am very well off. But my family recognizes that when you help other people, the whole world and ALL people benefit.
Building a Utopia is slloooowww and looonnnng work. It's not about a hand out, it's about a hand up. It's not about equal results, it's about TRUE equal opportunity.
A miniscule percent of people in the world are acutally sociopaths and dangerous to the population. It's not a new fact that most people commit troublesome acts out of neccesiity. Remove the neccisity and what do you have? A better world for all.
I'm not an elitist. I'm not super intelligent. It's really all so simple. We just complicate things. For example, if all the hypochristians actually understood their savior's message, if everyone treated others as they themselves wanted to be treated, well.....
As you well know Vladimir I am also coming from an ex-communist country.
There is no doubt that the system was brutal but let’s remember that not all was bad:
1) free education and very good one for that matter
2) free medical assistance and maternity leave up to 6 month with full pay
Talking about the mind control and permanent suspicion that the communist were exercising I have to agree with you 100%. By the same token I have to remained you that “The patriotic Act” is no better
Hi Vlad! Another good hub! I think it's funny/ignorant how people read this, knowing that you lived it, and still tell you that you don't know what you're talking about. People who squeeze their eyes shut and hope that it all goes away, never cease to amaze me. Keep on writing :)
