If someone else decides your fate, then you are a slave.
Thousands of years of history have shown us that the majority of people will give up their individual rights and responsibilities and become slaves in service to any gang claiming authority and power in return for the hope of support and protection.
According to the account of Joseph, in Ancient Egypt the people literally traded a piece of bread, from the government. for their property and eventually their freedom.
First we served Idols then Pharaohs, Kings, Caesars and Totalitarian Religious Governments.
Today we also serve the collective/group centric ones such as Communist and Socialist for their “protection” and willingness to steal someone else’s wealth to support us.
“State Centric governments survive by confiscation such as taxation, inflation and economic warfare. Statism—in fact and in principle—is nothing more than gang rule. A dictatorship is a gang devoted to looting the effort of the productive citizens of its own country.
When a Statist ruler exhausts his own country’s economy, he attacks his neighbors. It is his only means of postponing internal collapse and prolonging his rule.
A country that violates the rights of its own citizens, will not respect the rights of its neighbors.
When individual rights are abrogated, there is no way to determine who is entitled to what; there is no way to determine the justice of anyone’s claims, desires, or interests.
The criterion, therefore, reverts to the tribal concept of: one’s wishes are limited only by the power of one’s gang.”
– Ayn Rand
Humans who allow themselves to become Slaves to the latest gang bear responsibility for its war and looting.
Statism needs war; a free country does not. Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production.
You might say that there is no opportunity in America because of the wage gap or the 1% or other propaganda slogans, so how can you blame me for being a slave.
The reason for the WAGE GAP – is government bribery in exchange for regulations that favor the large corporations (solution- end all contributions and lobbying by corporations) and the immense VICTIM culture that programs people for failure and jealousy, by convincing the people that they can’t make it and must become dependent on the government who then drains the wealth of those who produce to encourage and justify the lack of effort put in by the dependent and programmed.
Before you attack me – I lived in poverty on food stamps and unemployment. I saw many others who coasted through life at the minimum level all the while bitching and moaning (in their jealousy) of how they were denied opportunity. Bull. It was their minds alone that did the denying.
I buckled down, read self help books, repeated affirmations to reprogram the negative way I was talking to myself, trained, worked, learned a trade, went back to a community college with an internship, kept ahead of technological developments and made myself valuable enough to become a consultant and eventually start my own business (yes with help of course. Which you get when you prepare yourself).
So stop sucking on the figurative lemons that the Government and media propaganda have programmed you with. Stop making excuses that derail your progress and you will find that there is still PLENTY of opportunity in this country
In a Democracy (rule of the public) the public or group decides, not you. Majority rules. The minority has no say.
When Majority rules, public rights supersede the individual rights of the minority, therefore individual rights do not exist in a Democracy.
Democracy, Communism, Socialism and Fascism are variations on the same theme, group right over individual right.
It is a tyranny of the majority (or those that claim to represent the public) over the minority.
They are a small step up from the rule of an Idol priesthood, King or Dictator.
Fairness, so-called “social” justice and the ability to vote are confused with Democracy.
In a Democracy fairness and justice is subject to the whims of the “Public” or those that claim to represent the Public.
Democracies do not have values other than what the majority supports at any given time.
Propaganda or a glib tongued leader can sway Public values.
When Fairness and justice is not based on an absolute standard it usually winds up being based (or debased) on greed and jealousy.
State defined “Fairness” and “Justice” must be forced on the minority.
“If the majority, then, must govern, and consequently often near half, and almost always a party,
must be governed against their consent, it is the majority only who will remain secure out of the reach of tyranny,
and free from the arbitrary disposition of any commanding power.
The minority, on the contrary, will be constantly within the reach of the tyranny,
and under the arbitrary disposition of the commanding power of the majority. ”
— John Adams
Today the Democrats rule, Tomorrow the Republicans may rule.
Democracies have always degenerated into a poverty stricken, crime ridden, immoral tyranny and Police State.
The USA is not supposed to be a Democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic. We elect individuals to represent our groups. We defer to a Constitution that protects the individual and the minority from harm and keeps the government in check.
Our Republic is based on a set of Foundational Values and principles that were self evident in 1776.
Only a Constitutional Republic, where an absolute set of standards rules, can be fair and just to all.
The founders envisioned America as a shining example, a light unto the nations, being the voice in the wilderness keeping the morality, ethics and principles of Civilization and freedom outlined by Moses alive while the rest of the world sacrificed the endowed rights of the individual to the group.
That was America until it was corrupted into a Group Supremacist Democracy where the privileged and the poor live parasitically off borrowed wealth and the toil of others.
