This book provides an important look at the well-being of the current Socialism movement in the United States of America. It is broken into five parts: the history of the framework and foundations of Socialism, an analysis of the major changes that have occurred in the last one hundred years, a look at where Socialism is now in the United States of America, recommendations for saving the Republic from Socialism, and a look at what awaits us in the future of our Nation.The Socialism (Marxist) movement in the mid-1800s evolved into the Progressive movement in the early 1900s and ended up being called the Liberal movement or the Democratic Party in the last 50 years. The movement is currently dropping all pretenses and is starting to call itself Socialist again. They are confident that after ideologically programming a couple generations of socialist useful idiots in our National Education System, they will soon be the majority in the country. Sadly, this may come to fruition. I will refer to these groups as Socialists in this book but all of the previous movement descriptions apply.Since the early 1960s, something has dramatically changed in the deepest levels of American society. After the brief period of Pax Americana in the 1950s, it seemed as if some invisible switch was flipped in the heart of the United States, and the very fabric of the nation began quickly unraveling. Almost overnight, we went from light to darkness, from optimism to pessimism, and from America the Great to America the Guilty.A marvelous trust, a country like no other in the history of mankind has been entrusted to us. A country where we have had the freedom to grow and thrive, to be free to achieve our full potential, to shape the futures of our children and grandchildren — that is what is at stake. Freedom of speech, one of our most sacred trusts, is already being taken from us; in its place is politically correct speech, where some minorities can say anything they want without censure or condemnation. A country where all members of mankind are recognized as equal, but certain minorities are protected and have heightened rights — is this the intended heritage of our Founders? If we fail to do our duty, we shall be judged much more harshly than any other country in existence, because we have had so much more delivered to us for which we will be held accountable.What shall be our future? We are coming, potentially, to a crossroad in our nation.We are being pushed toward one of three ultimate endgames: the imposition of the socialist state, a conservative reversal of the Nation at the ballot box or another Civil War.Richard Castagnerauthor
