Charles Sasser, a veteran of the U.S. Army Special Forces, is a history teacher and a prolific author. His latest work is “Crushing the Collective: The Last Chance to Keep America Free and Self-Governing.”
He told WND and Radio America that history is replete with examples of people being convinced to give up their rights for the supposed good of the larger community. He said collectivism still pushes the same message today.
“Collectivism means the collective is of more value than the individual. That’s been used by every tyrant ever. It’s always for the cause, for the people. You give up this freedom for this and this,” Sasser said.
“Throughout history, the individual has always devolved into the collective.
That’s been the historical movement, from individualism to collectivism, and collectivism always ends in tyranny.”
To prove the rise of collectivism in our own society, Sasser said we only need to examine the widespread popularity of avowed socialist Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential race.
“He could have won it because so many of our young people have been indoctrinated into this idea that you can have free college. You can have everything free now,” Sasser said. “So, like pigs squealing at the trough, we’re all running for that trough to get whatever is thrown into the trough for us. As a result, we give up our independence.”
He said we’re already well down that road as a nation.
“We’re already socialist. Right now we have 47 percent of the people living off the government,” Sasser said. “When you’ve got that many people dependent, guess what? They continue to want more and more. You can hear them at the trough, demanding more and more.”
The Left never stops. Will we resist their advances as they attempt to dismantle America? If not, prepare yourself to become a serf to the collective. – The Liberator
