Darrell Castle begins the debate process concerning socialism and capitalism, the real issue in the 2020 presidential campaign. Transcription / Notes SOCIALISM IS IMMORAL AND UNETHICAL Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, August 30, 2019, and today I will begin the debate process concerning socialism v. capitalism. I believe that the 2020 presidential campaign will be a debate between those who advocate socialism and those who advocate capitalism, and to that end, this Report will from time to time enter that debate. I will begin with a quote from Winston Churchill, “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” That quote from Mr. Churchill is from a speech before the House of Commons given on October 22, 1945. He had just brought Great Britain successfully through the most terrible war in human history and was seeking reelection as Prime Minister. Mr. Churchill was not reelected primarily because the people wanted socialism and he definitely was not a socialist. All tides rise and all tides recede; Empires rise and fall; nations rise and fall over the course of history. Socialism seems to be on the rise in America and further intervention in the economy by the government would seem to be inevitable. Those of us who think the trend toward socialism and its ideas is a bad thing should endeavor to refute those ideas by rebutting them in debate whenever possible. Through debate we can perhaps convince people that the ideas of A.O.C., and all the Democrat candidates for president, aren’t very good ones. Debate is a far better approach than violence and shouts of “send her back.” Socialism is essentially an avenue for globalism to travel on because it favors a world socialist state. Socialism advocates, such as all Democrat politicians, pretend to favor minority rights but as Ayn Rand pointed out the smallest minority is an individual and if you don’t favor individual rights how can you truthfully say you favor minority rights. I will point out that a lynch mob is a majority and it has only one dissenting vote. The individual screams don’t steal my labor and my property and the mob screams we want your labor and property for free and we will take it by majority vote. Therefore socialism is theft, but it is also the enslaving of one class of people to the government and to other more favored classes. Granted we already have a certain degree of socialism in America with social security, government control of medical care, government control of banks, etc. These things are all here to stay it seems, so they serve as anchors to allow more and more government intrusion into the economy to serve the needs of those who benefit from such intrusion politically. In other words the camel’s nose is under the tent and certain politicians are now urging us to push the whole camel in. The trend toward socialism that is gripping America and the world right now is the fourth major effort by the globalists to increase centralized control through government power in the last 100 years. For a century, certain people have been steering the government of America away from the people and into their hands. Little by little, inch by inch the camel is moving into the tent so that he is now almost completely in and could be in within less than two years. I have done many Castle Reports on the first centralized grab for power that occurred in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was established as the country’s central bank and was given control over the nation’s monetary system. Congress also gave us the income tax, which has little by little increased government power at the expense of working people. I argue that the Federal Reserve is very bad for the American people because it allows the government unlimited funds through counterfeiting and discourages any limits on spending. Perhaps the most important concept in all of this discu...
