FORT WASHINGTON, Md.\u2014Panelists broke down the realities of socialism during a segment on the third day of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)\u2014the largest conservative gathering in the country, whose theme this year is \u201cAmerica vs. Socialism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morgan Zegers, CEO of Young Americans Against Socialism, and Joshua Philipp<\/a>, a senior investigative reporter with The Epoch Times, spoke about the roots of the ideology during a morning discussion at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.<\/p>\n

Philipp said socialism is the \u201cdictatorship of the proletariat,\u201d which involves the government seizing every aspect of society and driving it toward its ultimate goal\u2014communism. The Feb. 28 discussion was hosted by Ian Walters of the American Conservative Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Communist Manifesto says that communism destroys all religion and all morality,\u201d Philipp said. \u201cWe make the mistake of negotiating with these socialists just on the basis of economics when in reality it is about metaphysics and ontology\u2014it is about attacking and destroying your values, your culture, your ideas and the foundations of your society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Philipp pointed to the Chinese Communist Party, which he said uses a system of \u201csocialism with Chinese characteristics.\u201d Under the rule of the party, between 50 million to 70 million people people died of unnatural causes during peacetime.<\/p>\n

The regime is also at the forefront of religious oppression<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this day they [China] still have concentration camps, they still kill people for believing in religion, they still dictate what you can or cant believe,\u201d he said. \u201cThey still say that if you want to be a Christian you have to recognize the state first and God second.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chinese people today are living \u201cunder a tyrannical regime that masquerades as a capitalist society\u201d according to Philipp.<\/p>\n

Philipp added that young people living in the United States today think that socialism is going to free them from the corporations, when in reality, \u201c[socialism] is state capitalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zegers said recent polls on socialism are worrying but she still feels optimistic about the future of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know a recent poll came out a few months ago that said 70 percent of people my age would vote for a socialist,\u201d she said at the conference. \u201cMy counter to that is I dont think 70 percent of people my age want to seize the means of production.'\u201d<\/p>\n
