Who We Are

Stopping Socialism is a website devoted to informing the world about the dangers, including the moral dangers, associated with socialism, communism, and other forms of collectivism. It is our belief that socialism, even when implemented exactly as its adherents want, inevitably leads to economic chaos, rampant poverty, and tyranny.

Stopping Socialism is supported and promoted by The Heartland Institute, a national nonprofit think tank headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The website was founded in 2018 by Justin Haskins and Donald Kendal.

In opposition to collectivist government policies, we support free markets, and we do so for two important reasons: (1) Free markets have been repeatedly shown to produce healthier, happier, safer, and more prosperous societies than those that are governed by bureaucrats, despots, kings, or other forms of tyranny. (2) When government inserts itself into markets, immoral activity inevitably ensues, because governments force people to live their lives in a particular way, often in accordance with the will of the majority. Minorities end up being abused, mistreated, and punished in such systems. At the very least, minorities are often forced to sacrifice their deeply held beliefs to satisfy some wish of the majority. For instance, to advance the goal of universal health care, the Obama administration attempted to force nuns to violate their deeply held religious beliefs by making them pay for contraception and abortion. Mandating people violate their religious beliefs is highly immoral, and it is an essential aspect of any Progressive or socialist governing structure. This is not to say the people who support such systems are themselves evil, only that their ideology necessitates extremely immoral actions on the part of the government.
