“Socialism, in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.” – Thomas Sowell
To achieve Central Planning you must be omnipotent and incorruptible, as there is an infinite amount of data and all must be processed and acted upon in real time. No one person or committee ever is, even though they operate under that delusion. Cuba’s economy has never worked. When it exhausted the plunder of it’s citizens it survived only by the subsidies it received from the Soviet Union and later, Venezuela.
Socialism can not sustain an economy. Moving money from one person to another by force is not commerce or free trade/exchange which is a win/win. In forced “redistribution” the people who pay for the government largess, always lose and eventually the Plunder runs out.
America and England have collapsed their economies with Socialist policies and have replaced their Jewish/Christian values with Group Supremacist ones. In line with Group supremacist values, the Soviet Union and China starved, executed and murdered millions of their people and in China every girl child. The Communist’s Group Supremacist values have been taught in the USA for the last 40 years so that we were softened up to accept stealing from one group to fund another under the guise of charity and Social justice.
What is the moral case for capitalism? It lies in recognition that socialism isn’t a great idea gone wrong – it’s an evil philosophy in action. It isn’t driven by altruism; it’s driven by greed and jealousy. Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution. Socialism violates at least three of the Ten Commandments: It turns government into God, it legalizes thievery and it elevates covetousness. Discussions of income inequality, after all, aren’t about prosperity but about petty spite. Why should you care how much money I make, so long as you are happy? – Ben Shapiro – Why Socialism is on the Rise
Aversion to Capitalism is Aversion to the Jew
Why is money called the root of all evil? Why are the rich hated and viewed as Greedy and evil? Why do people consider Capitalism as something evil?
For centuries, in the Christian world Capitalism was a Jewish occupation because usury/interest was forbidden by the Church. Until Vatican II in the late 20th Century Jews were considered inherently evil due to the Catholic Church’s official position that Jews murdered God/Jesus. Capitalism was considered Jewish and therefore also evil and immoral.
Without Capital neither business nor government can function and therefore the Jew was tolerated in lending and banking as long as states or kingdoms needed their Capital and banking skills to boost the economy. Once the economy was functioning it was considered moral to exile the ‘greedy’ Jews, confiscate their property and re-distribute it.
Sound Familiar?
Jew hatred, IMO is the reason behind aversion to Capitalism by Christians and self-hatred the reason why Secular Jews carry the same aversion. Denial of Jewishness was a way to avoid Christian hatred of the Jew and be accepted as a citizen and part of society. Denying Jewishness meant also denying Capitalism which , as Marx showed us in his essay on the Jewish Question, was considered Jewish. It even showed in the German word Judentum, which meant both Jewishness/Judaism and commerce/capitalism in nineteenth century German.
Although the Jew hatred component of the aversion to Capitalism is minimized today, the association with greed, immorality and evil remains. That’s why many secular Jews , including Bernie Sanders are in favor of Socialism. They do not want to be hated or viewed as greedy, immoral and evil. It is the reason Republicans and those in favor of Capitalism are viewed as greedy and accused of insensitivity to the poor. It is why Democrats are told not to listen to Republicans because they are evil.
The Karma, of Jew Hatred, is Socialism and Communism. – Dr. Society
At the heart of the Collectivist’s schemes to correct “income inequality” is envy, jealousy and theft. The government is the instrument of Vengeance! Any one who has read the Bible (* see Below) or understands Karma knows that a person’s actions create a chain of consequences that wreaks vengeance back on the offender. As you sow, so shall you reap. Vengeance is not something you pursue or you yourself will set up a chain of consequences that will come back to you and/or your government and/or society, as we see reflected in our corrupt government and the staggering amount of physically, mentally and spiritually confused, depressed and impoverished people.
The Collectivist has no conception of the immoral and destructive basis of their re-distribution efforts. They are not conscious of, or dismiss, the source of government funds – theft from individuals. Collectivist Politicians prey on envy and jealousy to justify that theft and provide themselves with money and power that they disdain in the “Rich”. They use the false notion of equality of outcome as the goal of the group, so no one “feels” like a failure. Politically the Collectivist fosters hate and division between income/wealth levels to keep themselves in power, preying on the efforts and wealth of others and rewarding failure and lack of effort with stolen booty to cover bad choices in life. By institutionalizing the false ethic of victimization, the Politicians systematically rob people of hope, motivation and ability – leaving no alternative but dependency – which makes them dependable as supporters and voters.
There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees, for the maples want more sunlight and the oaks ignore their pleas. The trouble with the maples, (And they’re quite convinced they’re right) they say the oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light. But the oaks can’t help their feelings if they like the way they’re made. And they wonder why the maples can’t be happy in their shade. There is trouble in the forest, And the creatures all have fled, as the maples scream “Oppression!” And the oaks just shake their heads. So the maples formed a union and demanded equal rights. “The oaks are just too greedy; we will make them give us light.”Now there’s no more oak oppression, for they passed a noble law,
and the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw. – Neil Peart – drummer for the band “Rush.”
When the maples claim that the oak trees grab up all the light they are exaggerating for emotional effect… Maple trees are almost as tall as Oaks.
The truth is that there are few in true need. The “have nots” are actually the “have less” but still enough to get by. The “have less” feel that others have too much. Covetousness, rather than true need, is what motivates the collectivist.
Collectivists ignore the reality that:
“America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts. And by the false philosophy that says one man’s success comes about unavoidably as the result of another man’s victimization.
It’s not the haves and the have-nots, it’s the dos and the don’ts. Some people …support themselves and contribute to society, and others don’t. That’s the divide in America. Those who choose wisely and responsibly, have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure. It’s not about income inequality, it’s about civic irresponsibility. It’s about hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office. …their grip on power is based on using the votes of one to sap the productivity of the other.
My doctor went to college and then gave…his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restaurant. And our choices led us to different outcomes. His outcome pays a lot better than mine. Does that mean he cheated and …to take away his wealth?
No, it means … in a free society, free choices will lead to different outcomes. It is not inequality [collectivism/Group Supremacy] will take away, it is freedom. The freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail. And there is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure. “ – http://www.wham1180.com/onair/bob-lonsberry-3440/two-americas-11890777/#ixzz2sw37Sxrr
Socialists believe that, by enriching yourself, you are taking something away from them; that there is a limited supply of wealth, and you are hogging your share. They are angry at excellence, as proof of corruption, and will tear down those who excel.
The alleged goals of socialism were: the abolition of poverty, the achievement of general prosperity, progress, peace and human brotherhood. The results have been a terrifying failure—terrifying, that is, if one’s motive is men’s welfare.
Instead of prosperity, socialism has brought economic paralysis and/or collapse to every country that tried it. The degree of socialization has been the degree of disaster. The consequences have varied accordingly.” – Ayn Rand “The Monument Builders,” The Virtue of Selfishness
“The leftist… sees society’s and the world’s great battle as between rich and poor rather than between good and evil. Equality therefore trumps morality. This is what produces the morally confused liberal elites that can venerate a Cuban tyranny with its egalitarian society over a free and decent America that has greater inequality… If you want to feel good, liberalism is awesome. If you want to do good, it is largely awful.“– Dennis Prager – Ten Ways Progressive Policies Harm Society’s Moral Character
A fear of criminals, an enemy’s god, Emperor, King, Army, Satan, Hell, Corporations, the power of the Rich, corruption or even merely the abstraction of “Evil” or evil people who a person can’t stand against. The fear prompts a person to seek a stronger power to protect themselves. People are willing to give up their freedom if they believe they can’t win. At least a slave is safe with a powerful master. Thus they align and serve whatever power or authority people deemed to be strong enough to protect them from what is essentially the bogeyman.
The main purpose of Socialist society is to make life safe and “fair and equal” for the victimized. This philosophy comes naturally to most people as it is a projection of their own struggle. In the steps toward emotional maturity people feel victimized, blame others, shy away from taking responsibility for their lives, feel powerless, feel that life is not fair and they practice revenge and mind games to prove that others are inferior. A government based on this foundation is an evil failure from its inception.
The Socialist philosophy divides the world into the evil Oppressor that has power, dominance and wealth and the weak, powerless Oppressed who are victims that are being kept down.
Contrast this with Foundational American Values where the responsibility for balance is on the individual and the small community either of family, location or ethnicity.
Motivation for charity is love directed to your fellow human that you see as equal to yourself, not stealing from the Rich.
Socialism is not about Love or caring. It is about not feeling inferior. It is characterized by disdain and creating dependency. Disdain and dehumanization for whomever they are stealing from and for those that do not agree with them; disdain and pity for the dependent victim they are helping and feeling superior to and finally the disdainful voice inside themselves that must constantly be negated with posturing of Superiority via put downs, sarcasm, hatred and anger.
“The principal feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things–war and hunger and date rape–liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting élite of those who care deeply about such things… It’s a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don’t have to be brave, smart, strong, or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.” – P.J.O’Rourke
From their Elitist morally “superior” position, the Progressive and Liberal condemn America.
The elitist may point a finger at others but they are actually condemning their own behavior. America had a policy of Colonialism under Elitist, racist, white supremacist, Progressive Liberal Presidents, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Under the Progressives, the USA took over the Philippines and supported and armed Japan as it’s emissary of the white race in Asia to subjugate China and Korea. America had a policy of Manifest Destiny and pushed the Indians into reservations. America had Black Slavery. For all these past sins, but mostly to assuage their own guilt, they penalize all whites in America as a group and demand reparations – even if these “whites” came from immigrant parents that never set foot in America until after those prior events.
For the Socialist, big government is always viewed as benevolent. Even a tyrannical government is preferable to letting the “poor victims” go unprotected. Socialist policies therefore always favor more government control and less individual freedom or responsibility.
Socialist reality consists of groups; the Rich, the poor, the middle class, the underclass, the uninsured, labor, management, civilians, military industrial complex, corporations, non profits, non governmental organizations, Europe, America etc.
Those in a lesser circumstance have no individual responsibility. They are “victims” and it would be immoral to hold them responsible for being victimized. Socialist policies therefore ignore individual responsibility as a factor and do not see the consequences of irresponsibility in their policies.
They do not have standards of merit and reward for risk taken. Since all workers contribute to society then all are entitled to the profits. Individual outcomes need to be equalized to be fair. Those with more should yield their wealth to those with less. Businesses must give up their profit and “rich” individuals their income.
The Socialist concept of incentive is the stick not the carrot. Rich people and powerful corporations are Oppressors and can’t be trusted to help the poor oppressed. The government has to forcibly “re-distribute” their wealth and change the playing field of the free market to make sure the oppressed classes have equal results. Black people must have affirmative action, red people must have casinos, minority farmers must be subsidized etc.
Socialist governments, which foster “equality” can’t be oppressors. America which is still somewhat capitalist, is evil and must be torn down until it is all Socialist.
Animals and the planet are victims of the more powerful Humanity and must be protected from humans by the government even if it means giving up a hospital to preserve the habitat of a flea. It is humanity’s duty to give up their habitat because they are the oppressor.
The Socialist always sides with the “Victim” and ignores reality, facts and common sense.
We all should get along. No one should be greater than another. No country dominant. All results equal.
Unless for self-defense of a direct attack or to rescue human rights violations, Military forces are oppressive. War is always Oppressive and evil and Imperialist.
Belief in God and Religion is called a tool used by the Oppressors to keep the victims sedated and calm (“Religion is the Opiate of the masses”) so they don’t rise up and revolt.
* Deuteronomy 32:35
“Vengeance [consequences] is Mine, and retribution. In due time their foot will slip; For the day of their calamity is near, And the impending things are hastening upon them.”
Romans 12:19
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath [consequences], for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
Karma, not Vengeance. ‘Wrath’ when used in this context is not anger but rather Consequences.
Leviticus 19:18
“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.”
The Hebrew root of ‘revenge’ is KohM. This is also the root of ‘level’. Do not seek to level [the playing field]. There is no Justice in Social Justice.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 7th Century BC
Now as a man is like this or like that, according as he acts and according as he behaves, so will he be; a man of good acts will become good, a man of bad acts, bad; he becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds;
And here they say that a person consists of desires, and as is his desire, so is his will; and as is his will, so is his deed; and whatever deed he does, that he will reap.
