Does communism still exist? Many people think that communism died with the fall of the Soviet Union.
According apologist David Wheaton the United States government’s increased control of all aspects of life is reminiscent of communist worldview.
What exactly makes up a communist worldview?
“Communism is a worldview that works relentlessly for a bigger and stronger government that controls, or even highly regulates every area of life in issues such as health care, education, and environmental issues.”
Many people believe that the socialist-communist worldview of the late Soviet Union no longer exists. According to David, it is alive and well even in the United States.
“The worldview persists in different names and in different forms but I think it is stronger than ever in America. “
David argues that this worldview is being integrated into American thinking at an unprecedented level.
“I think it’s actually being taught in subtle ways and maybe even not so subtle ways in our public educational system.”
David points to the public education system as proof of a communist worldview.
“Think about it, you are taxed, and you have no choice on where your tax dollars go for education, they go to the government and the government decides what will be taught in the schools. There’s no free choice. There’s none of the free enterprise that we have an other aspects of life.”
This type of school system mirrors a communistic worldview because of the distinct lack of free choice and free enterprise characterizing other aspects of life in America.
