Socialism claims to bring economic equality to the oppressed classes, but it seeks vengeance and retribution against those it claims are responsible for causing suffering. Vladimir Lenin sought to oppress the “minority exploiters” through the use of a series of concentration camps used throughout the Soviet Union, where Socialists systematically murdered 66 Million people through starvation, torture and forced labor. He was the first person in history to develop these camps and use them against his own people. This reveals the true nature of socialism. Although it claims to be compassionate, seeking to end oppression, it exacts vengeance against those it labels as oppressors. Every socialist government has committed genocide, nearly all through the use of concentration camps. As American politicians are embracing socialism, people need to know the brutal history of socialism as the decide its influence on our country.
