Are Democrats right about Government control?

I'm starting to think that in 1, maybe 2, generations the majority of the population will
be OK with being told what to do, as long as they are provided basic needs, like Food,
housing, and health care. I think many people will give up, and give in, to the government
control, that many of us are fighting against. As a baby boomer, I have never received
unemployment, food stamps, or anything else I didn't work for. I believe the majority of
kids in school now, that don't have parents that help them, will be dumbed down to the
point of letting the Government control their lives, much like China.

Both sides of the American political spectrum are in favor of government control of commodities, the difference is that the Republicans want the government to enforce property rights for the rich and do nothing for the poor, while the Democrats also want to enforce property rights for the rich but grant the poor some necessities. It's not statists vs anarchists, it's people who want more hierarchy vs people who want less.

@BlueVeins not grant...take by force from the working class & rich people that dont agree with their politics to redistribute to the junkies & thugs & their rich friends. The Democrats are a mob outfit...nice try at making sound noble though. 😆

@SamInAZ Everything the government does is by force. If I want to be fair and balanced, I'd say that the Republicans want to forcibly distribute more resources to the rich and the Democrats want to forcibly distribute more resources to the poor. Pacifism is a shitty philosophy and there's a reason why nobody takes it seriously.
