Socialism flunks both the test of Scripture and history. No matter what form it takes, it is a failed and dangerous idea.
After more than 150 years of theory and practice, socialism is very much a known quantity. Yet, some now claim it is time for the United States to adopt this worn-out and disastrous system of government. They want to turn our nation into a socialist state run by government officials who would have the power to tax and redistribute the people's money at will.
Wherever socialism rules-whether in its softer forms in Sweden or Venezuela, or in its hard-core communist versions in Cuba, China, or North Korea- freedom is the first casualty, crushed under the heavy hand of the state. Socialism's demagogues promise a utopian, atheistic heaven on earth, but in every instance, they have only brought misery and suffering.
The Problem of Socialism shows the dangers of socialism at a time when it is on the march in America. Find out how the ideas of socialism's founders and followers violate God's Word, and how it has brought slavery and death to tens and even hundreds of millions wherever it has been tried.
