Original Message Our future may be some form of “dual-state.”

Can the two exist within the same system? Usually we have two sides who try to exert both sides to live under their singular rule. Either the socialists attempt to make everyone a socialist, or the freedom-lovers try to make everyone live under a “free” state and to force people to build themselves up or “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.”

What if we could have both? What if we had a system that would take care of people that needed help, but also was completely free to not take part in that system? To me the United States is heading in this direction. We do not need to part ways to have this system come to fruition.

We do not need to have a civil war, nor do we need to build two separate countries, one of which was socialist and one of which was free. We already have examples of this in recent history. One being Germany breaking into West and East and another being Korea, breaking into North and South. Germany eventually re-united and Korea is bound to eventually re-unite one day as well.

I would encourage a “Freedom-Socialist” party to come into fruition as that seems to me to be the balance that we are looking for.

Some who are more “freedom-loving” may come into tough times and need support, thus they may become more “socialist” and some who are more socialist, might be doing well and not need the support and become more “freedom-loving.” It can be very fluid.
