My heart’s desire is that I can help people to better understand living in a Constitutional Republic vs a Socialist Government, which some leaders of the Democrat Party such as Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and others of which you are aware are strongly advocating. They refer to their movement as “Democratic Socialism†or a “Socialist Democracy.â€
If I can’t do that in an effective manner, it is not because of you. It is because of my poor ability to properly explain it. If you believe in Socialism or are not sure before reading this and still do after considering it, then I have failed, and apologize for wasting your time. It’s a bit lengthy but please read it. It will take only a couple of minutes.
Most are aware of Ben Franklin’s famous reply when asked as he emerged from the convention, “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?†“A Republic, if you can keep it.â€
It is of utmost importance to here and now understand that “Democracy†is not found in any Founding Document, and “Socialist†is not found in any founding document, much less “Socialist Democracyâ€!!

Emphatically and fundamentally disagree.
The Republic vs. Socialism contrast is nothing but another in an endless
queue of ignorant political isms which have clashed down thru history.
We are in our morass because we, and the world, have embraced
materialism as our highest calling and the answer to our every problem.
As a result, the "Fat Wallet Frauds & Hustlers" lead us by the nose 24/7/365!!!
The Enlightenment, w/Capitalism in its back pocket, birthed this corrosive & deadly
nostrum, some 250 years ago and its impetus has ben strikingly evident in the
condition of Religion, in Art, including Architecture and Philosophy and most
critically in the attitude, behavior, impulses and sentiments of Mankind;
as his daily his Character reveals!!!
