There are 5 “named”
Communist countries where the state owns the means of production. These are China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos
and Cuba.
Venezuela and other
countries where the government owns major industries are close to being
Communist. South Africa elected their Communist Party to govern the country.
Many other countries have the Communist Party listed as a registered party.
There are many
countries that have socialist policies that take many forms. European countries have socialized medicine,
restrictions on voters and liberty, plus government pension plans.
In all countries
throughout history, the family has been the basic unit of every economy, not
thee government. The freedom to attain self-support is required by all
governments to give to all of its citizens. This requires the freedom to own
property, businesses and homes. This is
best done in a free market economy where the consumers control the prices by
exercising the law of supply and demand. If the price of beef goes up, we buy
chicken until the price of beef goes down.
The US has Social
Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps and many other forms of Welfare and
wealth redistribution. US Healthcare and Education costs are unsustainable,
because they receive excessive tax subsidies that have replaced consumer
control of prices.
The US is well
positioned to replace welfare with work. This will put US workers on the path
to self-support. Privatizing all
unconstitutional functions should be pursued to reduce our unsustainable costs
for healthcare, education and government. Our path to prosperity is small, well
equipped government with limited powers. Government needs to return everything
the private sector can absorb back to the private sector to lower consumer
costs. Subsidies, grants and giveaways
need to be methodically reduced. Government Bureaucracies need to shrink.
