SOCIALISM: Dangers (Part 4)

Welcome!

I’m Bub Kuns, and today we’re talking about socialism again.

Socialism is heralded as a movement “of the people,” but the truth is that, wherever it’s tried, socialism leads to less freedom and more government control.

In socialist countries like North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and China, ruthless dictators came to power by promising the people equality but then quickly took away basic rights like freedom of religion, speech, and assembly. Because these dictators demanded absolute authority, those who opposed their regimes were often imprisoned or executed. 

Sen. Ted Cruz’s father, Pastor Rafael Cruz, who was imprisoned by Cuba’s socialist government, said, “Socialism requires that government becomes your god.”

While socialism promises freedom and equality, the reality is that it oppresses the very people it promises to help, leaving them more fearful and less free.  

As Proverbs 28:15 says, “As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.” (KJV)

Of course, there is another problem with socialism, and we’ll discuss that another time.
