As the U.S. moves closer and closer in that direction (as Europe has been doing for even longer) it makes sense that socialism or communionism are the fully developed form of democracy. As someone raised in a republic, I still find this thought painful to accept, dispite now believing that monarchy is the best form of governmentChristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578059779067587800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-63573836347862497272011-01-21T13:38:10.293-06:002011-01-21T13:38:10.293-06:00The biggest problem I have, touching on what Mr. W...The biggest problem I have, touching on what Mr. Wells has said, is in convincing people today that Communism and Socialism are the natural result of Democratic thought. I was told by a Friend recently an argument I get all the time, that Communism and the NAZI’s caused so much problem, and had a sort of Totalitarian government that refused to allow Democracy, much like my own Monarchism.<br /><br />Never mind that Monarchism is base don a totally different Theory than Communism or National Socialism, and that both of those forms of Government are Republics base don the same ideals. Heck, the American Revolutionary Fathers can have there writings compared to Lenin, Stalin, and Marx and you see similar, if not Identical ideas being discussed. While I do not deny that there was always more Freedom in America than in the Soviet Union, the reason for this is because of the “Great Failure” of Americas Founders, according to Marx, in that they only issued a “Conservative” Revolution. That is not to say they were Politically Conservative, just that they didn’t go far enough.<br /><br />However, read Marx. Read Lenin. Read the ideals of Communists. They don’t believe in “Rule by elites” as opposed to “We, the people”, the whole fundamental concept of Communism is “We, the people”. They cast off the cruel ad oppressive Tzar Nicolas and abolished forever the inequalities of the Tsarist society, in favour of the True Concept of all men being Created Equal, and all power deriving itself from the will of the people, in a True Democracy.<br /><br />Communism is, in fact, the Truest Form of Democracy. It is majority rule, with its Slogan “From each according to their Ability, to Each according to their need!” None shall be greater than any other and all things shall be held in Common, with no Lords or Kings above is, and all men being given equality in Title.<br /><br />It fails and breeds oppression because in order to create Equality you must fundamentally make everyone the same, and this requires stamping out any deviation from the norm.<br /><br /><br />Communism only creates sits Hierarchy and “Rule by Elites” because that is the nature of man, and Nature will be serves. The same is true in America. Everyone says we have no Aristocracy and all men are the same, and now all “People” in “Humankind” are the same.<br /><br />But, does anyone really think if President Obama visited their Home Town, he’d be treated just the same as Joe who lives down the Street?<br /><br />Even in America the Dream died early, and Hierarchies exist in today’s society, just as in the Soviet Union.<br /><br />For this is Mans True Nature, and to deny it will only cause is corruption, not a new man to be born.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-17361734750353747972011-01-20T21:59:46.038-06:002011-01-20T21:59:46.038-06:00True, and they try to dress it up with pretty phra...True, and they try to dress it up with pretty phrases about compassion and social welfare but in fact it kills all charity and compassion because it makes taking care of everyone the government's responsibility, so no one ever has to be the 'good Samaritan' anymore. Add this to the fact that the government cannot do it well. It's all a scam by the revolutionary/politician/elitist clique. The only equality that they will ever genuinely deliver is making everyone else equally their slaves.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-34138890980964859582011-01-20T21:48:07.070-06:002011-01-20T21:48:07.070-06:00Another relevant quote is that socialism is the en...Another relevant quote is that socialism is the end point of democracy, because once people realise they can vote themselves the tresury, they will vote in the party that gives them the most money back.<br /><br />Not only that, but I can testify that only in America is there really a political airing of the idea that big government is a bad thing. Everywhere else, everyone calls for "the government" to do something about whatever ails them.<br /><br />Of course, I would suggest they man up and do something themselves, but being responsible and leading by example are things that aren't much valued these days. That's something for governments to do.Professor Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659779116600213901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-30849360260378983752011-01-20T14:07:33.438-06:002011-01-20T14:07:33.438-06:00I think I made a couple references to that particu...I think I made a couple references to that particular quote - "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel or envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."<br /><br />And it was Thomas Sowell who said, "Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all -- inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all."MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-49723569539376214812011-01-20T13:21:14.274-06:002011-01-20T13:21:14.274-06:00Winston Churchill said hat Socialism was the Doctr...Winston Churchill said hat Socialism was the Doctrine of Greed, and was right.<br /><br />The big problem is, Socialism and Communism, despite what many Americans, and particularly the Neo-Cons, think, is inherently Democratic. The same philosophical thinking that brought us the French Revolution, and, despite how many would disagree, the American rests on values and ideals that would inevitably lead to these conclusions. If all men truly were created Equal, then any Inequality must be the result of society and is an injustice that must be righted.<br /><br />When you value Equality above all else, then you struggle against any difference or advantage anyone else may have, in order to ensure they are all the same.<br /><br />Its rather like Harrison Bergeron, in which he live din a world where “At last, all are Equal”, the Strong wore sand bags, the Beautiful wore masks, and the smart wore ear pieces that prevented them from concentrating by shooting noise into their ear every 30 seconds.<br /><br />Equality is the Pipe Dream that people hold to to make them feel better, and to explain why they don’t have what they want in life, and the whole of modernity is based on giving in to our base passions, and capitulating to greed, envy, and list. We want everything free and to do anything without repercussion, a world void of morality and dignity, and in which we can be lazy and complacent.<br /><br />That s why such dreams are held, and hwy today’s society does what is self evidently nonsensical.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-4831123089711740652011-01-20T09:11:42.692-06:002011-01-20T09:11:42.692-06:00I can't agree more.

I support the idea of strong social benefits but also believe that socialism diminishes personal responsibility.<br /><br />On egalitarianism, it is ironic that the Latin American republics had prided themselves on their republicanism, yet were never models of democracy or equality, and have only become democratic and made real efforts at addressing inequities in the last 20 years.<br /><br />California is worse than Greece, or potentially so. Didn't they have to borrow money from the Feds to make welfare payments? It seems that Arnie will leave office with a legacy of economic disaster- but the Reagan and Clinton presidencies are fully culpable for their needless deregulation of the financial sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
