We need your help. The staff of our newspaper has been apologizing — nay, boosting — socialism for some years now. This week they hit their stride, running the headline “Socialism (Is) Adjunct to Democratic Society.”
For the writers (both professors), an editor, a publisher and a supine readership to accept that absurd contention without question assumes a huge gap in economic and civic education. You could fill a library with the research, theoretical, scientific, historical and practical, attesting to the fact that socialism isn’t supplementary to democracy it is poisonous to it.
Three generations now have graduated without such an education. They have never studied the relentless progression of socialist policies to one-party rule. The wealth of literature on the subject has never been put in front of them. It all just looks like free stuff. Isn’t it time to change that?
The foundation is collecting $250 donations to commission essays from scholars in every corner of Indiana on the reality of socialism. These will be carefully researched, cited and compellingly argued with focused reading lists.
The next time socialist apologia shows itself in your local media — and there certainly will be a next time — we will put the essays on the editor’s desk so he/she can get at least a glimpse of the grim future being fashioned for our children and grandchildren.
Please assist in this effort. You can give tax-free by clicking the “Donate” tab above. Mark your donation “Red Flag.” A 2027 corporate membership will be included. Thank you.
