When they hear that I am an Anti-Socialist, they will ask, &#8220;Being an Anti-Socialist&#8230; that means you hate people, right?&#8221;  No, the truth is the exact opposite.  I care very much about the human spirit. <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I am an Anti-Socialist precisely because I DO care about people.&#8221;<\/em> I make this soundbite in my speech, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_EuqKbPHYoM?list=UUSTmQkSVQMbglFcBb1OJGhA\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Anti-Socialist<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I explain UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy) to conservatives, it is important for them to see that I really am committed to limited government values.  Being an Anti-Socialist certainly established that fact about me &#8211; and it helps conservatives trust that I am not trying to circumvent their own values.<\/p>\n<p>But when liberals hear that I am an Anti-Socialist, they have heard it associated with conservatism so frequently that it can cause them concern about me.  Hence, it is important to help liberals understand the very heart of <em>why<\/em> I am an Anti-Socialist &#8211; it is that I do genuinely care about people.<\/p>\n<p>By posting this soundbite as a shareable meme, both conservatives and liberals are able to have their separate concerns about me allayed.  By removing such concerns, I am better able to help both sides see that their own (yet separate) values do compel both sides to embrace the Polygamy Rights Win-Win Solution to end the marriage control war: abolish all government marriage control for unrelated consenting adults.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the larger project to empower pro-polygamy supporters with tools of shareable memes, the pic for this sound-bite has been posted on Pinterest.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Pinterest Board:<\/em>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mhenkelpolygamy\/quotes-the-anti-socialist\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>QUOTES &#8211; The Anti-Socialist<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><em>Pinterest PIC:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/425238389794101107\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>I am an Anti-Socialist precisely because I DO care about people. .<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The video for the entire speech is posted online.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Youtube VIDEO:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_EuqKbPHYoM?list=UUSTmQkSVQMbglFcBb1OJGhA\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Anti-Socialist<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It has also been embedded here below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_EuqKbPHYoM?list=UUSTmQkSVQMbglFcBb1OJGhA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>These three links (one to <em>Youtube<\/em> and two to <em>Pinterest<\/em>) are designed to be tools for activists to use when seeking to persuade others to allow freedom for us UCAPs, unrelated consenting adult polygamists and polygamy supporters.<\/p>\n<p>If you consider yourself a UCAP polygamy activist, the movement needs your help here.
