RE: Oops! Social engineering Marxists, have miscalculated...
The trouble is that marxism is sooooo easy to sell to the masses.
The average person would never even think about making a factory.
The average person just sees their life as a struggle to feed themselves every day.
They don't save. They don't plan for the future.
The boss is the biggest asshole! I mean, how dare he get on our case about keeping production up.
So, along comes a guy who says that the govern-cement will take care of us all. Well, who doesn't want that? Not any factory working sheep that i know of.
The problem is that marx never talked about the factory making people. In marxist world, those people will be killed. And thus, marxist kill the goose that lays the golden egg. The people in it have to learn to live off of 20% of the production of a capitalist system.
Reality crushes marxism.
" Reality crushes marxism " Well something better crush it, before it certainly crushes us @builderofcastles ! 120,000,000 people killed beneath Socialistic Marxist models of society in the last 120 years, thats pretty damning for a belief system that preaches equality ! Yes I guess finally we are all the same once we are put into a hole with a bullet to the back of the head !
Currently, in The US, there seems to be a civil war brewing, or being fomented. The neo-liberal/neo-marxist vs the fly-over-states.
Fortunately, if that ever comes to a real fight, cities on the coasts, the fortresses of the neo-marxist, will just stop getting shipments of food.
It would normally be between the factories and the fields, but we don't have much factory here in The US anymore.
Further, i would like to lay more deaths at the neo-marxist's feet. Abortion. The neo-liberals have not only demanded abortion be legalized, but then the stigma of using it be obliterated, or even promoted as a life style.
The welfare state has destroyed millions of lives without ever putting a bullet in the backs of their heads.
But, in the end, reality crushes marxism."
But, but, do we really have to learn this lesson again?
I certainly hope not @builderofcastles !
