Do The Democrat Leaders Really Believe In Socialism/Communism?

Why do Democrats behave the way they do?

That's a question that probably ever Conservative has asked at one time or another. They sure don't vote like we do. That was very evident in the last election.
As the mind controls the body, we can infer that Democrats thus think differently than we do. The big question is, "What are Democrats thinking that would cause them to vote for the Democrat candidate instead of the Conservative candidate?"
There have been many ideas put forward to explain Democrat voting behavior. One thought is that they vote the way their parents voted. Another explanation given is that they are easily convinced by famous people in our country who vote Democrat.
One of the best known explanations for Democrat voting behavior is that they vote Democrat because the Democrat leaders believe in socialism/communism and they have convinced many people that socialism/communism is a great way to live and that the Democrat Party wants to implement socialism/communism in the United States.
But is that true?
Do the leaders of the Democrat Party really want to implement socialism/communism in this country?
Or is that just a smoke screen to win elections?
The big name behind socialism/communism is Karl Marx.
You can boil down all his thoughts and writing, and boy did he have a lot of those, to one sentence.
"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
Kind of an interesting sentence. So how do we examine it. Well, I choose to examine it from two perspectives. The first perspective is what the Democrat Party says they believe about this sentence. The second perspective will be from the view of reality.
"From each according to his abilities"
THE DEMOCRAT VIEW: We all have inherent abilities. Some of us are ballet dancers. Some people are born to be scientists. People are happiest when they are busy doing the work that they have the natural ability to do. They will be so happy that they will produce many new inventions and a sufficiency of all products. People will not be held back by the prejudices of the rich capitalists.
THE REALITY: Somebody has to determine what every bodies abilities are or everyone will think their ability is to be a movie star or writer. And who decides that? Can people change their abilities with ducat ion and training. Yes. But someone has to slop the hogs. The reality is that there are good jobs and some really nasty jobs. Who decides who gets these jobs? Well, the bosses do. But I thought there were no bosses? See. Reality really shatters dreams. So you are always going to have a majority who feel that the bosses are screwing them. Doesn't sound so utopian, huh?
"To each according to his needs"
THE DEMOCRAT VIEW: How many needs does a person really have? They need so many calories per day. They need water. They need clothing. They need a warm dry place to sleep. Once all people have these needs met, then we can move forward to address other issues like recreation and philosophy. We will produce a perfect world with perfect people.
THE REALITY: Who decides a person's needs? Maybe I need a Mercedes. Maybe I need plastic surgery. Who decides if these needs will be met? Well, again, the bosses will decide what you really need. This inherently leads to shortages as that Mercedes worker "needs" time off and the Democrat Governor "needs" a Mercedes more than you do. Human beings don't stop being human beings under socialism/communism. They don't become robots with no feelings who can be started and stopped at will.
Communism fails every place it is tried. Human beings are human beings with all kinds of emotions.
Do the Democrat Party leaders know this?
Of course they do.
So why do they keep hinting that they are socialists/communists if they know it doesn't work?
Because they know that most people don't take a hard look at socialism/communism. And without taking a hard look, people can easily be convinced that they actually can have something (their needs met) for nothing (no great abilities means no hard work).
My Dad taught me that "Actions speak louder than words."
President Obama talked a lot about policies that were socialist/communist. What were his actions after he left the Presidency? Did he go to Turnip Commune #43 to help pull weeds?
Nope.
Off to a private island for some vacay.
How about Hillary?
Did she sell everything she owns and give the money to the poor?
Nope.
No pulling turnips for her either.
The Democrat Party leaders have absolutely no intention of bringing socialism/communism to our country.
They have every intention of putting more money in their own pockets.
This hinting at socialism/communism is just a smokescreen to get votes and donation money.
It is to blind us to their true purpose which is to enrich themselves.
