Most of us have said it in the pledge of allegiance,"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all."

To the republic. What is a republic? A republic is a governing system which seeks to limit itself from the economic, social, and religious aspects of the nation as a whole. A republic does this for good reason. Amendment X to the Constitution of the United States of America, part of the original Bill of Rights, was the most concise attempt to ensure that we would always have a republic.

First we need to become familiar with what other forms of government exist aside from a republic and how they differ from a republic. A communist state is a republic that seeks to integrate itself into the economic aspect of the nation. A communist state does not concern itself with social or religious aspects of the nation. A socialist state is a communist state that seeks to integrate itself with the social aspects of the nation. In the course of humanity it has been all but impossible to separate religious aspects of a nation from the social aspects of a nation due to the intense integration of religious ceremonies and holidays into the social behavior of the constituents. A fascist state is any state that purports to be anything other than what it is for the purpose of placating the people.

Here in the United States of America we are purported to have a republic. It's in the pledge of allegiance and in the Constitution. How can we have a republic when the government routinely passes legislation which regulates the economy and the social behavior of the people? A republic seeks to avoid interacting with the economy or the social aspect of the nation. A government which, for whatever reason be it greed or goodwill, involves itself in regulation of the economic sector of a nation is communist.

The role of democracy has little to do with any of this. Democracy is a method for making a decision and little more. It is perfectly possible to democratically elect people of a communist or even socialist mentality.

The fact that the majority of Americans vehemently deny electing communist or socialist officials only says one thing--they've really elected fascists.
