A Republican congressman has received approval to set up an Anti-Socialism Caucus in the House of Representatives, which he said would highlight the dark history of the political ideology.
Just received approval from the House for the formation of the Anti-Socialism Caucus. This caucus will defend individual liberty & free markets and highlight the dark history of socialism, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) tweeted Thursday.
Stewart originally created the caucus in February, but it was only green-lit on Wednesday. In the initial press release, Stewart spoke of the dangers of socialism, saying that, wherever it rears its head, it leaves a wake of destruction in lives and freedoms lost.
So much time has passed from the fall of the Iron Curtain that many have internalized or never experienced socialisms ultimate price, Stewart said. If we fail to recall those dangerous times, the primitive appeal of socialism will advance and infect our institutions.

Slavery is the fiction that people are property;
