Americans will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the guise of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program without ever knowing how it happened 

— Karl Marx

There are eight levels of control that must be achieved before a socialist state can be created:

1. Healthcare — Control healthcare, and you control the people.

2. Poverty — Increase the poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and won’t fight as much if you provide for them to live.

3. Debt — Increase debt to unsustainable levels. That way you can increase taxes, thereby producing more poverty.

4. Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (food, housing and income).

5. Education — Take control of what people read and listen to. Take control of what children learn in schools.

6. Religion — Remove the belief in God from the government and schools.

7. Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent, and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.

8. Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government. That way you create a police state.

Most of these have already come about, and there are currently several states threatening confiscation of our guns. All of this is in total and blatant disregard of our so-called electives’ sworn oath of office and our Constitution.

Once they take our guns, they will have won. Without the Second Amendment and our guns, we will not be able to protect the rest of our rights or even ourselves. Then the government will be free to carry out genocide with no worry to themselves. 

That has been among the first thing the government does as it has been done in every other nation where they confiscated firearms. In the 20th Century alone, over 170 million people were murdered by their own government … why and how? They allowed the government to first disarm them.
