I think you should change the headline "Socialism proceeds to its logical conclusion"
Socialism's conclusion is communism.
The principle difference between them is strong-arm use of force and terror over the people.
Funny, some people just don't like socialism and don't go along willingly. Thus the force and terror.
Totalitarian rule is the quick way to
hope and change. Ask Stalin, Mao, and Hitler, among others.
What we're getting for the most part is the slow and steady version, with a large assist by schools and universities, brainwashed children, cool aid dreamers, an adoring main stream media, and 50% of the populace who don't really have any real political belief beyond their own selfish self interest in free government money and benefits, and special interests like LGBT crowd who are offended by the Judeo-Christian philosophy that their lifestyle is sin followed by damnation, and unions, and global warming nuts, and safety fanatics, and an ever expanding and purely self interested EMPIRE of government.
The US Const, is a problem for them, but with the right appointment of enough judges and attorney generals, and by slowly filling career government apparatchik positions with cool aid dreamers from top to bottom, all things are possible. And as the screws are turned ever tighter, so the police state grows in size and strength.
When you get right down to it, it all comes down to power/control and money. The socialists want it all. They are the
domestic enemies I took an oath to resist. And should be resisted with all means available.
Unfortunately, I believe we are all the frogs in the slowly heated pot of water.
