If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, and give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; And the sixteen being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they do now, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; But be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains around the necks of our fellow sufferers; And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on 'til the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering...and the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.

A totalitarian government cannot be a true socialist government. Socialism is the idea that the means of production should be controlled by the workers and that the working class should be in charge of their own destiny.
How do you square that with dictatorship?
These men think they have spotted the propaganda but they are the most deeply indoctrinated people I have ever heard.
I'm sure McCarthy is delighted.

The people of England do not have to work 16 hours a day and live off oatmeal and potatoes. Sorry to spoil the illusion.
