Cheryl K. Chumley - Socialists Dont Sleep: Christians Must Rise or America Will Fall

Socialism is not the same as big government.

But the left has taken the word socialism and reshaped, redefined, and reworked it to suit its needs, so that its nearly impossible to reach consensus on whats socialist, whats notwhats democratic socialism versus social democracy versus social justice versus progressivism versus communism versus all the rest. This confusion is not without its benefits for the left. After all, what better way for a socialist to disguise socialist intent than by pretending not to be a socialist?

By loosest definition, socialism means forcea forced government taking, a forced government redistribution, a forced government takeover of the means of production. Thats different from big governmentfrom a government that grows big on the entitlement-minded wings of entitlement-minded politicians and people. But big government and socialism are linked. Big government can oh-so-easily tip into socialism. And Americas actually been tip, tip, tipping that way for some time now.

Todays socialists are yesterdays progressives are last weeks Democrats are last months democratic socialists are last years communistsare last decades socialists. Its a constant morphing, a constant redefining, a constant convoluting, and conflating of policies, platforms, and politics, designed to constantly change so as to avoid detection. But lets not get caught in the weeds. Heres the real enemy: collectivism.

Lets not get hung up on the ever-changing definitions, and in so doing, play right into the lefts hands. Instead, lets keep it simple.

Theres freedomand theres not.

Theres sovereigntyand theres globalism.

Theres the Constitutionand theres unconstitutional.

Theres the notion of God-given rightsand theres a government that treads on those rights.

Socialism may be the latest attention grabber for todays youth. Socialism may be perceived as todays biggest threat in America, and to Americas system of capitalism and free market and freedom.

But really, its the seeds of socialism we need to beware. Its the change of mindset that comes from a nation of people who are taught in public schools that America is not exceptional; who are told by politicians that hard work means nothing and that if you live, if you breathe, you are owed; who are trained to believe that absolutes are the chains that enslave and that boys can be girls, and girls, boys, simply by trading clothing; who are brainwashed into scorning once-admired traits like self-rule, self-governance, and self-sufficiency; and who are raised without God, or with a god that can be whatever is wished at the timeso that courteous culture crashes, polite society falters, and voil, government whisks into the picture to instill control.

Want an up-front and close encounter with seeds of socialism as they grow and spread? Look at the video of Black Lives Matter riots in the streets at the police killing of black suspect George Floyd, right around the summer of 2020. Scour the YouTubes of Antifa thugs as they smashed windows, burned up cars, destroyed and defaced monuments and memorials and statues of Americas historyall sparked by the death of George Floyd. Watch the news feeds of the militants and anarchists who took over the city streets of Seattle, Washington, and set up a Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ area, barricaded and patrolled by armed guards who kept out police, shook down residents and businesses for cash and protection money, and facilitated the distribution of a myriad of demands to local and state political leadersall due to the horrible white officers handling of George Floyd.
