Government 2

Taking a look at problematic government.

Perhaps the biggest problem to do with government is that people sometimes seem to prove themselves not smart enough to have government, and get themselves into the deepest messes when they set up a bad one. Of course, if most people can’t even solve the problem of when or how to talk to their kids about sex, how are they going to figure out when government is failed, and what to do about it?

Communism

Actually reading Marx’s tripe, The Communist Manifesto, might help dispense with this nonsense about communism.

His confused rantings are rhetoric without substance, another Emperor’s New Clothes con, where people don’t know what the hell the book is talking about but don’t want to look stupid by questioning it.

It’s a tactical effort exploiting a well-used trope: make it convoluted, salted with lots of vague and complex terminology, so as to make it appear “intellectual.” That way, people are led to think it has substance. (And if they harbor doubt, well, they see the other patsies falling for it, so have to “go along to get along.”) Of course, it uses the tactic of telling a few truths, so as to make the lies seem palatable.

Then, add a liberal dose of flattery to stroke the boundless egos of the unwashed masses. This trick of pandering, applying the soothing balm of praise and bemoaning people’s fate at the hands of the “greedy capitalists,” is exploited by the eager, drooling commie to make people think they’re more important than they are in the grand scheme of things, and thus more manipulable.

The legions of unwitting and witting dupes that push the commie line of BS doesn’t help matters.

Witness this old saw: “Communism is a good system, if only it were administered properly.”

That little platitude is simply another way of saying, “If not for unchangeable human nature, communism would be a good system.”

We’ve heard this glib remark far too many times for it to be coincidence. Oddly, we never hear the same thing about capitalism.

Two hundred million dead, plus, on the short side of reckoning, as the result of communism, and nostalgic old softies want to take yet another shot at that experiment.

Communism Summary

• Nominally, it is a system of shared “communistic” ideals including the idea of “wealth and property sharing.” However, “from each, according to his ability, to each, according to his needs,” doesn’t account for the greedy and avaricious, who have “special needs,” or are “more equal” than others. 🎜🎝 His needs are more, so he gives less 🎜🎝 — Thunderball.
• Communism is a proven mass-murder mechanism.
• It is an artificial system that needs to be propped up by external sources, as was the Soviet system in the 20th century, when North America, for example, sent massive shipments of grain and other aid, including cash.
• It is a form of autocratic rule waving a phony banner of compassion and generosity.
• Rule is by small “councils” at the top, while “secret powers” have control
• It is a system with absolutely no redeeming value or merit, unless, of course, you’re at the top of the heap.

Communism is a political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society. — Britannica

RationalWiki says:

Communism is a far-left ideology whose followers believe that a better society would be structured around common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money, and the state.

We don’t need their ideology. As we examined in an earlier article, old America had a very workable system, where the “proletariat” had the upper hand sometime, since they could start their own successful businesses. Good luck trying that today, when the latest figures are showing that 90% of startups fail!

Capitalism

In conclusion, capitalism and communism are two very different economic systems, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. — eslbuzz.com

These days, despite the incessant and desperate insistence that capitalism and communism are two widely-separated poles, its obvious that they’re just different faces of the same thing. We see this with the so-called public/private partnerships, with the corporate wing managing some of the control and oppression, the government wing handling the rest. This system already has a name that seems to have been lost in the shuffle: fascism. However, both communism and fascism are also different sides of the same entity, totalitarianism.

We’ve already discussed how all corporations are products of government, not having a life of their own. That means, they exist at the whim of the government, or, they are controlled by government. Note that this could have some positives if people weren’t seemingly oblivious to the fact. A corporation can’t infringe on anything that the government is prohibited from, since it is a child of that government. So people that rail about businesses not respecting their constitutional rights have a perfectly valid argument, since a corporate entity under government should have to respect the same rights as government does.

Then there’s the other propaganda. Pinkos love to howl about “greedy capitalist pigs.” Of course capitalists are greedy, like everyone else. At least, classically, they’re not as prone to be murdering demons, as we see on the commie side of the fence, though.

The Remarkable Persistence of Communism

In the United States, communism is widely used as a pejorative term as part of a Red Scare, much like socialism, and mainly in reference to authoritarian socialism and Communist states. — Wikipedia

There’s no way to redeem communism, and it’s a waste of time to delve into endless details and inadvertently validate it that way, with endless argument and justification and “seeing it from the other side” nonsense.

Not so hard to understand, the persistence of communism, when you have filth like the above quote from Wikipedia. Problem is, this trash is almost everywhere, with most every source treading lightly, but nefariously trying to polish the turd of communism in one way or another.

Communism is not a “form of government,” it is not a “system” or a “philosophy,” it is organized crime.

Communism is to provide an easy way for a smallish group to easily manipulate and control a large one.

Strangely enough, the communist system mirrors another that we’re familiar with: the trade union!

So there’s no need to rehash the same old commie BS tales, “explaining” what communism is or what it’s trying to do. In fact, the problem isn’t really communism — there are lots of bad ideas out there — the real problem is the mindset of people that endorse it.

Instead of entertaining mindless and pointless debate, it’s more interesting to study the mindset of the Pinko sympathizers and apologists, and how they propagate the patent Marxist nonsense.

A Hard Lesson

How confusing it can be: “That person is always saying how kind he is, but loves communism. How is that? Maybe he just doesn’t know the truth!”

A hard lesson is realizing that those who praise communism almost always know what it truly is, and want totalitarianism, coercion and savagery to be the order of the day. Which is in line with the findings that there are vast numbers of sociopaths in society. Some may think the Pinkos are just misunderstood idealists, but why then don’t they focus their idealism on, say, capitalism, and muse wistfully about that?

Some sympathizers potentially could be true believers that fixate on the idea of social justice. But there’s no way to assure that, since this is also an easy hangout for those who have authoritarian tendencies, to put up a false front.

No, almost without exception, consciously or unconsciously, the Pinkos are authoritarians who want ruthless and vengeful, controlling government, and “wealth redistribution.” They want to be part of a rampaging mob crucifying those who don’t go along with the program.

Of course that redistribution involves other people’s wealth redistributed to them, or selected others, whom they, in their infinite wisdom and largess, have deemed worthy.

Seeders and Repeaters

David Icke came up with, or popularized, the idea of “Repeaters,” who just repeat nonsense and drivel they were cued up with, so we hear the same old lies pushed over and over until everyone is treating them as fact.

But if there are “repeaters,” then there must be “seeders,” like those who came up the dogma, “Communism would be the best government, if only it were properly applied.” A pernicious lie, since it’s the worst under any circumstances. Funny how that idea, that capitalism would be pretty good, if only it were properly applied, never seems to get “seeded,” though.

What a sneaky, sneaky bunch of buggers keep pushing this commie idea, and we get suckered by the subtly positive little blurbs that filter and percolate through the mind, and seem to nest there. That’s how we get the “warm and fuzzies” about the red menace.

Incessant Propaganda

How else are communist tenets still espoused? With continual sneaky propaganda via media, like movies, books, websites, even songs. By exploiting the flaws of mankind, like gullibility and virtue signaling, it’s not hard to “sell” the idea of a Utopian form of government.

A segment of the movie, Blues Brothers, 2000, had “Blues Brother” Dan Ackroyd preach, revealing his true colors, by proclaiming, out of nowhere, that Marx and Lenin, “had good intentions at heart, but were betrayed.”

One trick is to be indirect, and point to the “failures of capitalism.” For instance, Britannica talks about it:

Like Marx, Engels was deeply disturbed by what he regarded as the injustices of a society divided by class. Appalled by the poverty and squalor in which ordinary workers lived and worked, he described their misery in grisly detail in The Condition of the English Working Class (1844).

But we know the secret — the version of capitalism foisted on us was just crapitalism, a sort of disguised communism/totalitarianism.

“A Good Person”

Most everyone wants to be a “good person.” And most think they are. So communists preach a lot about love and anti-war and helping the people and saving the environment, and so on. Yet the “good people” seem tuned out to the brutal legacy of communism, with its endless murders around the world.

Many of these “good people” are emotionally sadistic, prone to rages, intemperateness and other examples of non-thinking. Yet people get fooled – because of their self-representation as caring individuals.

Workable Wealth Distribution

This requires your attention.

To some extent, people intuit that there are sufficient resources for everyone, but not properly distributed, so they may fixate on the idea that communism provides an avenue to address the problem.

Oversupply and overcapacity means they throw away millions of tons of milk, butter, eggs, grain, meat, etc. The fact that there are machines capable of doing much of our intensive labor means that there is inevitable oversupply, though of course it won’t always be of the same nature (some years have drought or other problems). But overall, we produce more than we consume, and government often pays farmers not to grow certain things.

And there’s this:

A modern-day example is oil-exporting states that have bought the complicity of their citizenry with generous welfare benefits and subsidies. As their populations and welfare benefits keep rising, the revenues they need to keep the system going require an ever-higher price of oil. Should the price of oil decline, these regimes will be unable to fund their welfare. With the social contract broken, there is nothing left to stem the tide of revolt. — ZeroHedge

However, our government should be a profit-generating mechanism for the citizens. Not in the way, though, of a government guaranteed UBI (universal basic income), or other welfare system, which is just a redistribution scheme that robs Peter to pay Paul. Instead a dividend or stipend should be paid to the citizens, not funded by tax money, but by real value generated by the government, for instance, from the profits of leasing out our resources to mining companies, forestry companies, fisheries. That is to say, the government can exploit its inherent abilities, to generate money for the people instead of hogging it all for insiders.

That’s not inflationary — government wouldn’t be “giving a ‛handout,’” when giving you back what is yours anyway! These access, usage and recovery values rightfully belong to all the people, or what’s the point of having a country in the first place? Notably, this would also do away with any requirement for a “welfare state,” since all citizens would have a guaranteed income, generated by a legitimate enterprise.

This type of husbandry of our common resources should produce an ever-increasing bounty for all citizens, and if government fails in this, it should be an instant requirement that all of its lackeys, from presidents and prime ministers down be purged, and new people installed to do a better job.

But, of course, the concept of communism potentially taints this perfectly functional idea, were someone to cast aspersions on it as being a Marxist scheme. Someone might even use that example given of the oil-exporting states. Well, those states are going about it all wrong, staging their supposed largess as a welfare benefit. No, this system would simply be the distribution of profits from a business which all the citizens were inherently invested in. Profits can vary, and the people would expect as much, like any dividend from a business.

This doesn’t mean no one has to work. That’s a non-issue because people, in general, want to be productive anyway, regardless of whether they’re financially comfortable. In fact, this is more of an incentive to work, since when artificial barriers to productivity are erected, like taxes, excessive paperwork and nonsense political barriers to business, and the like, people lose motivation because they realize they are being exploited.

Resources are limitless – in the sense that there is enough to go around, enough to provide for everyone’s needs. Resources only become limited when a greedy few start hogging them all. So, instead of benefiting from the natural resources that belong to the people, those are given away to powerful interests. Instead of the logical approach of setting up government as a profit center, it is structured as an organized crime racket to rob people of their rightful property, and redistribute wealth (that which is not leeched off by the politicians and their cronies) to the non-productive.

Socialism and Communism

No need to agonize over the amorphous differences between communism and socialism when both are part of the same scam, socialism too being organized crime on a grand scale, rationalized as for the “good of all.”

Maybe if people exercised their imaginations more, they would have the wit to design something even better than “socialism” or “communism,” and without all the murdering and torture.

Still an Open Secret

Communism is a weird sort of succubus. It can’t actually exist on its own, and was propped up by its supposed enemy, the U.S.

It almost beggars belief to find that the whole sick structure was enabled by traitors in western government. It is well documented, as in Sutton’s book, The Best Enemy Money Can Buy (1986). Kris Millegan, researcher and head of TrineDay publishers, had this to say in 1999:

Antony C. Sutton, 74, has been persecuted but never prosecuted for his research and subsequent publishing of his findings. His mainstream career was shattered by his devotion towards uncovering the truth. In 1968, his Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development was published by The Hoover Institute at Stanford University. Sutton showed how the Soviet state’s technological and manufacturing base, which was then engaged in supplying the North Vietnamese the armaments and supplies to kill and wound American soldiers, was built by US firms and mostly paid for by the US taxpayers. From their largest steel and iron plant, to automobile manufacturing equipment, to precision ball-bearings and computers, basically the majority of the Soviet’s large industrial enterprises had been built with the United States help or technical assistance.

We shouldn’t forget another reason for propping up communist countries. In the article, War, we found out how there is always a need for an enemy, so if you can’t find one, you have to create one.

Summary

Communism is simply something to make it easier for the existing power structure to rule more brutally, with fewer constraints, a greatly reduced and zombified population.

In a way, it is the perfect con. It relies on people’s generally good natures and benevolence, whispering sweet nothings in their gullible ears. It also seems to provide easy answers to problems, but those are problems that governments themselves create.
