“In effect, according to Lenin, Socialism and Democracy are indivisible.”
–MIKHAIL GORBACHEV, PERESTROIKA-New Thinking for Our Country and the WORLD, Page 32.

The term the “MASSES” is a socialist term, it refers to a body of people who possess only “collective rights”, as allowed by the state. The masses are considered synonomous with the term “cattle”, and people are reduced to animals who are not required to think, since the state does that for them. This is how the leaders of the socialist state view the masses. There are no Individual Rights, because RESPONSIBILITY is taken away from the individual, the State assumes all responsibility and direction of each person’s life. The state retains all supreme right and power, and only delegates a few to the individual, at its discretion.

In a Republic, Individualism is recognized, there are no “masses”, there are people, with Un-Alienable rights and power, it is the least oppressive and confers the most Power and Right to the Individual and operates upon the Reciprocal behavior and Responsibility of the Individual. People limit government and delegate only few powers to it necessary to preserve fundamental rights, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and retain all other undelegated authority and Rights.

After Thought, Which form of government do YOU want to live in? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be a slave…I want to be FREE…So I choose a REPUBLIC!!!
