Thanksgiving is a celebration of freedom over socialism.
The Mayflower pilgrims were socialist at first. Property was controlled collectively, which is a euphemism for controlled by the state, and labor was divided by the government. Starvation and the threat of extinction quickly ensued.
Plymouth Colony Governor Bradley wrote in his diary that "For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without any recompense...that was thought injustice.'
So Governor Bradley solved the problem by launching a program of private property, Plymouth Colony thus survived and prospered, and true freedom dawned in the New World.
