Re: Why Is Barack Afraid To Call Himself A Socialist?

Bravo, Phizz,

Ayn Rand said something similar in 1941 in her essay TO ALL FIFTH COLUMNISTS.

"...

No matter what the outcome of the war in Europe may be, Totalitarianism has already won a complete victory in many American minds and conquered all of our intellectual life. You have helped it to win.

Perhaps it is your right to destroy civilization and bring dictatorship to America, but not unless you understand fully what you are doing.

If that is what you want to do, say so openly, at least to your own conscience, and we who believe in freedom will fight you openly."
