The Declaration does not prescribe capitalism, socialism, communism, or any economic system.
It centers on liberty, justice, and the people’s right to self-determination.
The u.s. government has historically treated them as a threat not because of its inherent danger, but because it challenges entrenched power structures—especially those tied to wealth and property.
But the Declaration doesn’t say “protect capitalism.” It says “secure rights.”
If the people choose a different system—be it socialist, anarchist, or otherwise—that’s their constitutional right.
The document itself was never changed. Instead, its radical promise was gradually expanded through constitutional amendments, laws, court rulings, and SOCIAL MOVEMENTS that insisted the phrase "all men are created equal" must mean all people.
