The ‘Key’ To Being A Socialist.

[Shawnee_b]

The key is a lobotomy, which most of the left has already had.

1.While there are several explanations for those who champion socialism, or communism…there is hardly a 1° of difference between the two….maybe it’s greed, the desire for ‘free stuff,’ or, my idea, youthful rebellion and the desire to tell the older generation to ‘step off,’…one characteristic is obligatory: ignorance.

Of course it require ignorance of morality….socialism is theft, and ignorance of human nature…the lack of understanding of the innate human desire for freedom and individuality……but at the most fundamental level, an ignorance of history.




2. In “an excerpt from a new book by Micah Uetricht and Meagan Day titled “Bigger Than Bernie: How We Go From the Sanders Campaign to Democratic Socialism.”

At the heart of the rapidly spreading support for “socialism” in the United States is some pretty profound ignorance….
The excerpt is riddled with tired and outdated Marxist tropes about the “class struggle” between the “working class” and the “capitalist class” (the workers’ enemy class, according to Uetricht and Day); the need to pit “workers against bosses”; and, of course, the imminent “revolution” -- which the authors insist could be bloodless, except that the “capitalists” will put up resistance to any efforts to eliminate capitalism. That resistance “will turn violent,” Day and Uetricht warn, in which case socialists will be justified in using self-defense.


3. The writers are stuck on the wrong continent and in the wrong century. In true “Bernie Bro” fashion, they speak in broad, sweeping gestures about the presumed failures of democracy and capitalism in the U.S., and look back wistfully at the efforts of the Russian Revolution.

In speaking of American voters, they say: “Even though their choices are limited, their representatives are bought off by the rich, and the capitalist class holds the entire system hostage with the threat of devastating economic retaliation if things don't go their way, the system does have some basic democratic elements that its citizens largely affirm and occasionally participate in.

“This is a tricky situation to navigate. If the democratic capitalist state were less developed, it might be possible to convince people to simply storm the gates, tear up the old rules, and start fresh in a socialist society. This is what socialists tried to do in Russia in 1917: the state was weak and after centuries of autocratic rule it didn't have much legitimacy in the eyes of most Russians, so revolutionaries could get popular support for scrapping it and starting over.” American Socialists Don’t Understand American Business



“This is what socialists tried to do in Russia in 1917”

Wanna bet none on our ersatz socialists an recount what actually happened in 1917 Bolshevik Russia….and if they could, they’d treat socialism like the coronavirus.

That key to endorsing socialism?

The most profound ignorance, or what Aquinas called 'ignorantia affectata - a cultivated ignorance'.

Same old song:

So, you're one of those America-haters who don't care to see the Constitution in force?


Redolent of the Democrat who brought Soviet Bolshevism to America.....

In July 5, 1935, in a letter to Representative Samuel B. Hill of Washington, the President manifested his contempt for the Constitution. Hill was chairman of the subcommittee studying the Guffey-Vinson bill to regulate the coal industry: the purpose of the legislation was to re-establish, for the coal industry, the NRA code system which the Supreme Court had unanimously declared unconstitutional. Roosevelt wrote: "I hope your committee will not permit doubts as to constitutionality, however reasonable, to block the legislation."

Roosevelt is largely responsible for those like you who dismiss the law of the land.
