I need to keep repeating that communism is a bait-and-switch scheme by a class of wealthy meddlers who wish to control the lives of others with life-and-death power over them.

The propaganda in favor of socialism is a line so fashionable these days that it causes youth to tell pollsters they're in favor of socialism. So, what is the best way to cut through that propaganda? The answer is simply to reply, loud and clear: “Socialism is Slavery!” I don’t hear this often enough, even though many thinking people have made the point.
