The Socialists’ Deluxe Plan and Luxury Plans for America

John Shoemaker

Socialists treat the European versions of Socialism as different from what they plan for the USA.

They have studied Socialism and have decided on the right ingredients for making everyone happy.

Yes, they have a Modified European Plan that is much better. The Deluxe version offers many improvements, but nirvana is reached when you upgrade to the Luxury Plan.

The Deluxe Plan…or Starter Plan

Rent Control: By freezing rents, the landlords cannot hike costs, making renters happy. Yes, landlords will stop maintenance to avoid losing money, but as the buildings deteriorate, Socialists can then take over the property when the owners face overwhelming costs, debt, and no increase in revenue. For example, 20% of New York residents already live in squalid conditions in government housing. That will increase over time.

Free Transportation: Promote free buses and subways to make everyone happy. Yes, costs will increase as revenue declines, increasing the City’s debt. No problem, they can raise the taxes on those taxpayers/workers, including millionaires and billionaires. If they leave, say goodbye. Besides, the City can always depend on the State to bail it out when in need.

Low-Cost/Free Foods at City-Owned Grocery Stores: They will give away food to the most needy and offer lower prices to others to keep them all happy. Yes, commercial stores will have to close, and quality, convenience, and availability may decline, but the people will adjust to a new diet.

Support Racial Inequality and Criminals: Most criminals and minorities simply need life support. They will get empathy, no cash bail, leniency, and less prison time. They will be happy to vote for Socialists. Victims are collateral damage to a better society.

Increase funding for schools: More money will improve student grades and performance. Yes, even with billions spent, grades have declined, except at Charter Schools, where their performance is excellent by comparison. Even so, it is better to treat all children equally and ban Charter Schools. The best benefit will be that all schools and colleges will be free.

Sanctuary Cities are humane while offering refuge from the evil Federal Government: Illegal aliens are welcome even if they have no education, skills, can’t speak the language, and won’t assimilate. Illegals need financial support along with legal, education, healthcare, transportation, and housing. They will be happy to vote for Socialists.

More Benefits for the Unemployed/Unemployable: Other services that attract voters will be funded by raising taxes on workers, corporations, and small businesses that rip off the masses. In Europe, some countries won’t allow you to fire someone without paying their salary for a year. We can do better.

Funding will be easy with new taxation concepts such as the pied-à-terre tax on second homes, wealth tax, billionaire tax, millionaire tax, death tax, sales tax, gas tax, congestion tax, tolls, transfer taxes, savings account taxes, occupancy taxes, and other innovative, money-grabbing tactics.

Once the proletariat gets a taste of free everything and no need to work, everyone will be happy. When the money runs out, they can start a war to distract attention. This will be the Patriot way.

The Luxury Plan

Constitution: Socialists will rewrite the Constitution to remove pesky amendments — like most of them. Not just the First and Second ones, but all those that restrict Socialist governance over the people who are now free from Capitalism and the vagaries of free markets.

Capitalism: Yes, the Socialists will take control of all major corporations, close down Wall Street, end the power of free markets over the people, and enjoy the wisdom of central government control over prices and products. Also, to ensure people are protected, regulations will be tightened to restrict business innovation, such as AI and expansion, that do not directly benefit workers, regardless of the risk and financial return.

Meritocracy: Socialists will end performance-based pay and focus on equality, in which all people are treated equally, regardless of their ability to contribute to society. That is the collective initiative to have everyone share in the country’s riches by income redistribution, taxation, reparations, and welfare.

Government: Socialists certainly do not need a Republican model and will eliminate the Senate and the Supreme Court. A new form of government will be managed by an enlarged Central Government Authority and Representatives that demonstrate a true Democratic model and professional competence. To gain more voters who need welfare, they will make Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico states.

Crime: Socialists will open our prisons to rehabilitate all victims of society. They will be so happy to vote for Socialists. There will be no need for police, DHS, ICE, or even the Military. We can close down all these useless Federal Departments. Imagine saving all the money by disarming America.

Open Borders: Yes, we should open our doors to anyone, no matter what their state of oppression and mental/physical challenges. Socialists want “mass amnesty” for all immigrants and give them voting rights as if they were citizens. Just like all the other Socialist countries, millions will flock to their borders to enjoy freedom, abundance, and luxury. We can look at all the countries of the Middle East, Africa, South America, China, North Korea, Cuba, Eastern Europe for perfect examples of how they are envied for their Socialist ways. Those who come to our borders seek to change our way of life to fit the luxury they left behind.

Climate Control: Bring back Green programs and remind us that not controlling the Earth’s heat is an existential threat to all humanity. Yes, we need to end the use of oil & gas, force compliance with EVs, and get solar panels and wind mills...or else.

So, what do YOU want? What plan is best for America?

We are at the crossroads, and our decision will be life-changing if we make the wrong move. Will it continue with Capitalism and Free Markets, or with Democratic Socialism (or Socialist Communism or Communism)?

Fortunately, we have many heroes like Marx, Lenin, Castro, Putin, Ayatollahs, Tito, Xi, Kim Jong Un, Mao Zedong, Stalin, and the like to make us feel comfortable. Yes, they made their mistakes during their implementations of Socialism, but we must forgive these pioneers. They simply did not know better.

Today’s Socialists know better.

Just wait…with change, Sharia Law can replace our Christian-Judeo code, Elite autocrats can manage the economy, people will be treated equally, we won’t need a Department of War as we will not need to go to war, no matter their intellectual, physical, emotional, cultural, criminal, and religious differences, crime will disappear, homelessness will end, and Mohammad will be happy.

Wow!!! Doesn’t this sound great?

We won’t have to worry about common sense, old values, Christian beliefs, or our comfort.

Or are we really the idiots to buy all this total nonsense?

As Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said, “Should one point out that from ancient times declining courage has been considered the beginning of the end?” When we don’t vote, when we are too lazy to care, we are defaulting to those with strength and conviction — even if that is poisonous.

Be warned, everything is at stake.

Your culture, family, and life depend on your answer.
