Quotes

• The reason that communism is the greatest evil is simple: Communism is the greatest enemy of personal responsibility ever invented. Communism waters down and diminishes personal accomplishments. Once one sees this clearly, seemingly inexplicable communist-driven policies make sense. Every communist policy—from the minimum wage to single-payer health care to rent control—is designed to minimize and thwart personal responsibility. Conversely, individuals who take personal responsibility become leaders, inspiring others to take control of their own lives. Individuals who take personal responsibility for their actions are accountable for their behavior, which results in better relationships with others.
  • "Why Is Communism Evil?"

• Communism is a form of organized crime justified by the cult of Marxism–Leninism. It is basically a combination of criminal inclination coupled with uncontrolled political power. Like all crime, communism is parasitic. It produces nothing of value itself; it must rely on force, propaganda, torture, intimidation, threats, and espionage to survive. Like cancer, communism consumes its host. Except that in communism’s case, it will only die when the whole planet is consumed. Must we let things get to that point?
  • It’s Not Enough to Be Pro-Freedom; We Must Also Be Actively Anti-Communist

• Our environment can best be preserved and enhanced by better protection of property rights in a free-market economy.
  Private individuals—not socialist governments—are the best stewards of the environment.
  China and the old Soviet bloc proved that point once and for all.
  • "Green Is the New Red"

• There are many roads to tyranny. “Democratic socialism” is but the subtlest and most benign sounding road to communism.
  • Will ‘Democratic Socialism’ Lead to Communism?

• Government welfare is communism. Free money from the state, whether in terms of benefits, handouts, or non-universal tax-breaks, is a trap that will draw people into socialism and beyond. It’s a lot like cancer.
  • "Government Welfare: A Cancer Known as Communism"

• Socialism, is in short a manifestation of mental illness or major character deficiency.
