The way to defeat socialism is to not utilize socialist-funded services. Take your kids out of public school. Don’t call the police. Don’t accept Social Security payments.

I realize these things are hard to pull off, and there aren’t many who are doing it, but we have to do what we can, and help teach others so they can do something, too. I enjoyed this short conversation with a guy who must have assumed I’m not already doing what he suggested.

One other thing I would point out is that there are very good practical reasons for not calling the police, even if you did think they were honest and trustworthy. The average police response time could be 10 minutes. The best they can often do is show up after the crime has been committed.

What if your neighbor really is in trouble? There are practical reasons why you might want to help your neighbor inside of 10 minutes. We are to love our neighbors more than we love ourselves (that is what the blue government thugs are failing miserably to do). Loving them involves being willing to run over to their house to help them–not pawning that responsibility off on government.

However, there are times when we are legally required to call the police, and there is no alternative to driving on socialist-funded roads, but we start with what we can do and demand change on the other items as well.

Here’s the conversation.
