"It is high time we realized the dangerous threat of creeping socialism and its ruthless comrade, atheistic communism. When socialism is understood, we will realize that many programs advocated, and some of those already adopted in the United States, fall clearly within the category of socialism. What is socialism? It is simply governmental ownership and management of the essential means for the production and distribution of goods. "For thirty years (date of this statement is 1963) we have aided the cause of the atheistic-socialistic conspiracy by permitting socialists, communists, and fellow-travelers in high places in government; by giving away vital military secrets; by squandering much of our material resources; by recklessly spending ourselves to near bankruptcy; by weakening our free enterprise system through adoption of socialistic policies; by wastefully bungling our foreign affairs; by ever increasing confiscatory taxation and by permitting the insidious infiltration of socialistic communist agents and sympathizers into almost every segment of American life. "Our freedoms were not achieved, and they cannot be maintained by simple short-cuts that attempt to bypass basic economic principles. These economic laws are immutable just as much so as the moral laws, the laws of nature, or the Ten Commandments. The paramount issue today is liberty against state slavery. Both communism and socialism would destroy our economic system and replace it with socialism." (Pages 4-5 of Title of Liberty) 234 pages
