When Communism Seems So….Sensible

[Taz]

Communism can only work with a relatively small population. As we have seen, when communism is scaled up it fails miserably.

Libertarianism is similar that it can only work on a small scale but since we have never had any large scale type of libertarian government we don't have any data on its feasibility.

Capitalism and Socialism both can be scaled up to large populations.

And I am talking about Socialism as it is defined in the dictionary where the government owns all forms of manufacturing and distribution.

At scale the differences between capitalism and socialism become clear.

More people benefit from capitalism on the large scale than they do from Socialism.

Large scale Socialism by necessity breeds large scale government that stagnates society as a whole as people are ground under the heel of the gargantuan governmental bureaucracy.

That said we do not and have never had unfettered capitalism and I am not dismissing the weaknesses of capitalism but I would rather address those weaknesses in a system that is based on capitalism than one based on Socialism.

"Communism can only work with a relatively small population."


Wrong.


It never works anywhere.


“Robert Owen (/ˈoʊən/; 14 May 1771 – 17 November 1858… philanthropic social reformer, and one of the founders of utopian socialism and the cooperative movement. Owen is best known for his efforts to improve the working conditions of his factory workers and his promotion of experimental socialistic communities. ….In 1824 Owen travelled to America, where he invested the bulk of his fortune in an experimental socialistic community at New Harmony, Indiana, the preliminary model for Owen's utopian society. The experiment was short-lived, lasting about two years. Other Owenite utopian communities met a similar fate.” Robert Owen - Wikipedia



Reliable Democrat voters vote for the insane Democrat/socialist policies…..but are clueless about what they are supporting. A vote for the Democrat Party is a vote against private property.


Here is one such Democrat voter:
“Occupy Wall Street Genius Says He’sAgainst “Private” Property, Not “Personal” Property … he wants to keep his iPad 2, naturally, and not share it with the shiftless vagrants fighting over access to one of the three Porta-Potties recently delivered to the now-evacuated camp site in lower Manhattan.” Occupy Wall Street Genius Says He's Against "Private" Property, Not "Personal" Property | Human Events

Once again you are wrong.

Communism can work with small groups of people.

In fact what many tribal societies practiced is communism. All people worked for the collective well being of the tribe. You are scaling up and since you can't read very well I specifically said communism does not work when scaled up to large populations

So when are you leaving?

Never said I was going anywhere.

You really like making shit up when someone proves you wrong huh?

No vulgarity.

Write like an adult.


Oh....and I'm never wrong.
Try to remember we're comparing apples to apples, not apples to cue balls.


We're judging communism in advanced, not stone age societieties.

It never works.

I'll write however I want to write. But if you stop making shit up I'll stop saying that you are making shit up.

And All I said was communism can work with small groups of people but you use example of large populations to try to tell me my statement was incorrect.

It seems you have serious reading comprehension difficulties.

This is your last warning.

If you continue to post the language you learned from the boys bathroom walls I'll assume it is out of fear of what response I might post.

Are you going to beat him silly with your copy&paste?

The founders "checks and balances" kept millions of Americans as slaves for over a century followed by another century of oppression. Not really something to brag about.

8. At the same time as the Founders were espousing capitalism, the free market, and private property, the provenance of every totalitarian revolution burst on the scene, in the form of the French Revolution!


Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Rousseau was the spiritual godfather of the French Revolution, and every similar revolution that followed it!
Know what those 'similar' ones were?
Right....the most maniacal, sociopathic revolutions in history!

a. " If the French revolution was the end of monarchy and aristocratic privilege and the emergence of the common man and democratic rights, it was also the beginnings of modern totalitarian government and large-scale executions of "enemies of the People" by impersonal government entities (Robespierre's "Committee of Public Safety").
This legacy would not reach its fullest bloom until the tragic arrival of the German Nazis and Soviet and Chinese communists of the 20th century. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the precursor of the modern pseudo-democrats such as Stalin and Hitler and the "people's democracies."
French Revolution - Robespierre and the Legacy of the Reign of Terror




What Rousseau saw as the culprit, the source of every evil in society, was the same one as does every communist and Leftist,....he blames the existence of private property for a loss of liberty...the very opposite of the truth.



This is what Rousseau wrote:

"THE first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of sayingThis is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."
Jean Jacques Rousseau (1754), "On the Origin of the Inequality of Mankind."Rousseau On the Origin of Inequality First Part

There isn't a single school teaching that Communism is sensible. Whoever is teaching you this idea is the one we should be wary about.

It should be noted that Trump supports as do almost every politician the right of the government to take your property.

Let's check and see what government school is teaching:

1. "Third-Grade Teacher Has Students Write ‘Get Well’ Cards To Cop Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal A third-grade teacher at a public school in New Jersey is under fire after she encouraged her students to write letters to notorious convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, who recently fell ill in prison.

2. - School's Nation of Islam Handout Paints Founding Fathers as Racists


"School's Nation of Islam Handout Paints Founding Fathers as Racists
The teacher also told Sommer that her son was not supposed to take the Nation of Islam handout home. It was supposed to stay in the classroom. That bit of news caused her great alarm.
“The fact that students were cautioned against allowing their parents to see anything is deeply troubling,” West told me. “The only reasonable explanation is they don’t want parents to know what it is their children are learning.”

3. Under pressure from transgender activists, progressive politicians, teacher unions, and the education establishment, and despite parents’ opposition, America’s public schools are capitulating to ideologues and implementing the radical transgender agenda with full force.
...regardless of biological sex, .... Activists want every child, from kindergarten on, to learn that “sex” is something “assigned at birth” rather than a biological reality. They want children to think that individuals get to choose their own “gender identity” (not limited to male or female), and that everyone else must affirm that “gender identity” as true.


...nothing that parents (or teachers) can do to prevent the schools from imposing policies designed to indoctrinate children with gender ideology.

In public education, the “deep state” describes a coalition of various groups – including teachers’ unions, progressive advocacy groups, major corporations, and philanthropists --that work together to promote the progressive worldview..."
America’s Public Education System: The Ultimate Deep State





4. The National Education Association approved a new "business item" expressing support for abortion access during its annual conference in Houston.

"[T]he NEA will include an assertion of our defense of a person's right to control their own body, especially for women, youth, and sexually marginalized people," the resolution states. "The NEA vigorously opposes all attacks on the right to choose and stands on the fundamental right to abortion under Roe v. Wade."

The NEA is the largest teachers' union in the U.S. with more than 3 million members. It collected nearly $400 million from American educators in 2018, according to federal labor filings. The union is also one of the most politically active in the country, spending $70 million on politics and lobbying in 2017 and 2018. Nearly all of the union's political action committee spending went to Democrats during the midterm cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

6. NYC schools allow kids to go on #ClimateStrike
“TEN YEARS. We have ten years to save the planet,” Mayor Bill de Blasio cautioned in a tweet. “Today’s leaders are making decisions for our environment that our kids will have to live with. New York City stands with our young people. They’re our conscience. We support the 9/20 #ClimateStrike.”

Legions of adolescent activists across the globe are expected to demand immediate action to combat climate change in advance of a major UN conference on the issue next week.

As long as mom and dad sanction their principled truancy, absent kids won’t have attendance records dinged, the DOE said.

The September 20th event will feature Sweden’s “Climate Crisis” sweetheart, 16-year old Greta Thunberg.

Teen activist and Swedish sensation Greta Thunberg, who recently docked her zero-emissions sailboat in New York, will speak at the event which will snake its way through lower Manhattan to Battery Park.

Kids with parental permission to attend will be granted excused absences from school, Education Department officials tweeted Thursday.

The infamous “Green New Deal” will be promoted as well.

The New York City climate strike is backed by more than 100 environmental and political activist groups and other institutions, including New York Communities for Change, The New School and the Sierra Club.

The protesters’ demands include a “Green New Deal” that would end fossil fuel extraction and move the nation onto entirely renewable energy sources by 2030. Green New Deal policies have been backed by the likes of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Personally, if I were one of the kids, I might argue about going to school at all. After all, if the Earth only has 10 more years before we are going to die, wouldn’t it be better to spend the time having fun or spending quality time with family?

On the other hand, if the New York City school officials were really invested in solving the climate crisis, wouldn’t they emphasize science and math? Perhaps keeping the kids in school and having them conduct experiments or perform calculations would inspire an interest in real climate science.

One theory that seems to prove true and is certainly consistent with what is happening with the New York City schools: When global problems are emphasized by locals, serious local matters are being ignored.

Case in point: New York state test results for third- through eighth-grade public school students are out, and the results are underwhelming.

Statewide, more than half the kids flunked yet again: Just 45.4% were deemed proficient in reading and 46.7% in math. In the city, 47.4% passed the reading test, while 45.6% got by in math.

Think the problem’s skimpy funding? Sorry: In 2017, the Empire Center’s E.J. McMahon reported in May, New York shelled out 89% more per kid than the national average. And that gap has been growing fast: In 1997, per-pupil outlays here were just 45% above average.

…In the city Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza tried to spin the results positively. The pass rate in English, they noted, is up 0.7 percentage points — and three whole points in math.

“Growth counts for something,” Carranza insisted.

Huh? That paltry uptick is what they’re proud of? Even though more than half the kids bombed? Please.

Notably, kids in the one category of public schools de Blasio and Carranza (and their union pals) don’t run — i.e., the charters — beat their counterparts in the regular schools by more than 10 percentage points in both English and math.

At least the kids won’t be flying private jets to attend the event. That makes them substantially less hypocritical than the celebrities who will be indoctrinating them during the Manhattan event.

Topics for Kindergarten to Grade 8 include: implicit bias, white privilege, intersectionality, LGBTQ issues, racism as a “primary institution of the US,” and other such leftist agenda talking points.” EXCLUSIVE: New Leftist ‘Racial Literacy Curriculum’ Brainwashing Elementary School Children

12. The Pollyana Curriculum…nationwide

“Beginning in Grade 3, the Pollyanna "Racial Literacy Curriculum" asks students to become activists in order to achieve leftist goals. The 3rd Grade chapter is entitled "Stories of Activism – How One Voice Can Change a Community." The expected result is for students to understand "how we can be agents of communal, social, political, and environmental change."

…Pollyanna takes leftist activism to new heights, fabricating an image of a racist America that children are taught to rebel against.

By Grade 8,after nine years of acute indoctrination, the children are ready to fight on behalf of leftists in America. "tudents will set commitments for rectifying current social ills, such as learning and planning how to carry out anti-racist activism and/or social advocacy in their communities and/or to improve their everyday lives." The 8th Grade chapter is entitled "Racism as a Primary 'Institution' of the U.S. – How We May Combat Systemic Inequality."

Yes, really.

Marshall, who includes her pronouns in her bio, lists her occupation as “teacher, scholar, social justice change agent” and apparently is studying for a PhD at Rutgers."

ABSOLUTELY fantastic post, PC. Thank you SO much.

Communism can only work with a relatively small population. As we have seen, when communism is scaled up it fails miserably.

Libertarianism is similar that it can only work on a small scale but since we have never had any large scale type of libertarian government we don't have any data on its feasibility.

Capitalism and Socialism both can be scaled up to large populations.

And I am talking about Socialism as it is defined in the dictionary where the government owns all forms of manufacturing and distribution.

At scale the differences between capitalism and socialism become clear.

More people benefit from capitalism on the large scale than they do from Socialism.

Large scale Socialism by necessity breeds large scale government that stagnates society as a whole as people are ground under the heel of the gargantuan governmental bureaucracy.

That said we do not and have never had unfettered capitalism and I am not dismissing the weaknesses of capitalism but I would rather address those weaknesses in a system that is based on capitalism than one based on Socialism.

"Communism can only work with a relatively small population."


Wrong.


It never works anywhere.

Once again you are wrong.

Communism can work with small groups of people.

In fact what many tribal societies practiced is communism. All people worked for the collective well being of the tribe. You are scaling up and since you can't read very well I specifically said communism does not work when scaled up to large populations

So when are you leaving?

Never said I was going anywhere.

You really like making shit up when someone proves you wrong huh?

No vulgarity.

Write like an adult.


Oh....and I'm never wrong.
Try to remember we're comparing apples to apples, not apples to cue balls.


We're judging communism in advanced, not stone age societieties.

It never works.

I'll write however I want to write. But if you stop making shit up I'll stop saying that you are making shit up.

And All I said was communism can work with small groups of people but you use example of large populations to try to tell me my statement was incorrect.

It seems you have serious reading comprehension difficulties.

This is your last warning.

If you continue to post the language you learned from the boys bathroom walls I'll assume it is out of fear of what response I might post.

Are you going to beat him silly with your copy&paste?

The founders "checks and balances" kept millions of Americans as slaves for over a century followed by another century of oppression. Not really something to brag about.

Yet America banned slavery before your nation.

We have had this discussion before. No you didnt.

Slavery ended first....FIRST...in America.

"July 2, 1777. In response to abolitionists' calls across the colonies to end slavery, Vermont became the first colony to ban it outright. Not only did Vermont's legislature agree to abolish slavery entirely, it also moved to provide full voting rights for African American males."

Vermont 1777: Early Steps Against Slavery
Long before Vermont became our 14th state, its people were known for their independence. They were not excited about joining the new United States; nor did they want to remain a part of the British crown. They liked being independent and made that clear to the other colonies on more than one...

9. So….how will the Democrats/Leftists/neo-Marxists wrest private property away from rightful owners?

“The only limit on liberal insanity in this country is how many issues liberals can get before a court…A lot is at stake for liberals with the court. If they lose a liberal vote, they will be forced to fight political battles through a messy little system know as ‘democracy.’” Coulter



The Democrats/Liberals will do everything they can to get restrictions on private property in front of one of their judges.

If state authorities, bureaucrats, judges, can seize any of the incidents of ownership, well then, there is no private ownership.

It, as well as liberty and prosperity, have been stolen.

The Communist Manifesto was a war on private property, and, since Liberalism/Progressivism mirror so very many of Marx’s views and endeavors, the current political elites….read ‘Democrats’…view property in the very same way.





Global Warming is the Left coming up with a reason to curtail, and abolish, private property, and the courts are the vehicle.

Fine post, thank you.

 

[bluzman61]

Sadly, there has always been a large pool of those too weak and cowardly, or simply too dumb......to question the lies of environmentalism. They feel so secure siding with the 'vast consensus.'

That makes it sooo much easier for the Bolsheviks....er, Democrats who own and operate the schools.



Now....let's destroy the 'consensus' argument.

3. Well….don’t all the scientists agree about Global Warming?

“… where did that famous “consensus” claim that “98% of all scientists believe in global warming” come from? It originated from an endlessly reported 2009 American Geophysical Union (AGU) survey consisting of an intentionally brief two-minute, two question online survey sent to 10,257 earth scientists by two researchers at the University of Illinois. Of the about 3.000 who responded, 82% answered “yes” to the second question, which like the first, most people I know would also have agreed with.

The first: “When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?”

The second question asked: “Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?”

Then of those, only a small subset, just 77 who had been successful in getting more than half of their papers recently accepted by peer-reviewed climate science journals, were considered in their survey statistic. That “98% all scientists” referred to a laughably puny number of 75 of those 77 who answered “yes”. That Scientific Global Warming Consensus...Not!

77 out of 10,257 becomes 98%.
Yup…figures don’t lie, but liars can figure.



Oh….BTW….

“Since 1998, more than 31,000 American scientists from diverse climate-related disciplines, including more than 9,000 with Ph.D.s, have signed a public petition announcing their belief that “…there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.” Included are atmospheric physicists, botanists, geologists, oceanographers, and meteorologists.” Ibid.

Interesting stuff, PC. Thanks, again.

That’s when you know you’ve been converted by government school to make government your god.


Here's the premise: environmentalism is simply a way to hide the real reason for laws, regulations, statutes that end was is meant to be private property.


1.Government school and Democrat government both have collectivism as their guiding principle….everyone is merely a cog in a machine, and just as replaceable. The Founders envisioned a nation based on individualism, differences in views, traditions, opinions, with the idea of ‘checks and balances’ to balance opposing factions.

Communism, Liberalism, Socialism, etc. all need those cogs to be identical in their views. Government school is the mechanism to carry out Lenin’s plan:

In October 1919, Lenin paid a secret visit to the laboratory of the great physiologist I. P. Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known chiefly for the concept of the conditioned reflex. In his classic experiment, he found that a hungry dog can be trained to associate the sound of a bell with food and will salivate at the sound even in the absence of food. Lenin wanted to find out if his work on the conditional reflexes of the brain might help the Bolsheviks control European behaviour. “I want the masses of Russia to follow a Communistic pattern of thinking and reacting,” Lenin explained. Pavlov was astounded. It seemed that Lenin wanted him to do for humans what he had already done for dogs. “Do you mean that you would like to standardise the population of Russia? Make them all behave in the same way?” he asked. “Exactly” replied Lenin. “Man can be corrected. Man can be made what we want him to be.” Orlando Figes, "A People's Tragedy," p.732-733

Lenin could do it, because he simply killed those who didn’t march in lock-step. Here, the Left uses simplistic arguments and doesn’t allow rebuttal, opposing views….and uses the media and pop culture for a constant drum beat.





2. “Begging the question” means that one starts out with the conclusion as a given. Begging the question is also called arguing in a circle.” (Google)

One prominent example is Global Warming. There is no proof, yet the media, the schools, pop culture simply assume it to be true, and demands that everyone accept that ‘truth’.

In his book on the Supreme Court, Liberal guru Thom Hartmann shows how it’s done:

“There are three principal ways that activists are using the law to try to slow down and even reverse the destruction of our planet by climate change.

The first is through the political process and regulation, which the Trump administration has shown us can be a thin reed, subject to the vagaries of politics. Its rollback of previous administrations’ rules and regulations to reduce poisons in our air and water, and carbon dioxide and methane (and chlorofluorocarbons) in our atmosphere, shows how fragile this strategy can be without strong and clear legislation from Congress.

The second is the property rights movement, claiming that the right of people to enjoy their environment and the stability of their lives—a logical extension of property rights as envisioned by Locke and Jefferson all the way to today—is infringed on by pollution and climate change. This is largely the “public trust doctrine….

The third is the human rights argument. This posits that the core human rights referenced in both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution (particularly as amended by the Bill of Rights) include the right to safety and happiness, which require a stable climate and a nontoxic environment.” “The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the Betrayal of America,” Thom Hartmann, P. 108

All three of these are attacks on private property.



The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property. Karl Marx





If one stipulates the truth of the Global Warming Scam….well, then….communism seems so sensible….

In my government school we were taught to hide under our desks when the big bad commies came to blow us up.

Communism can only work with a relatively small population. As we have seen, when communism is scaled up it fails miserably.

Libertarianism is similar that it can only work on a small scale but since we have never had any large scale type of libertarian government we don't have any data on its feasibility.

Capitalism and Socialism both can be scaled up to large populations.

And I am talking about Socialism as it is defined in the dictionary where the government owns all forms of manufacturing and distribution.

At scale the differences between capitalism and socialism become clear.

More people benefit from capitalism on the large scale than they do from Socialism.

Large scale Socialism by necessity breeds large scale government that stagnates society as a whole as people are ground under the heel of the gargantuan governmental bureaucracy.

That said we do not and have never had unfettered capitalism and I am not dismissing the weaknesses of capitalism but I would rather address those weaknesses in a system that is based on capitalism than one based on Socialism.

Parts of our society are (heavily regulated) free-market capitalism but some parts are socialist and some are communist. There is no one-size-fits-all.

There isn't a single school teaching that Communism is sensible. Whoever is teaching you this idea is the one we should be wary about.

It should be noted that Trump supports as do almost every politician the right of the government to take your property.

That's a lie. I have an NYU grad nurse, Antifa member, Communist, granddaughter who graduated high school in rural Oklahoma as a hard-core Marxist and that was only furthered when she went to NYU. Communism is being taught in virtually EVERY public school and virtually every university in the United States.

Oklahoma, the ground zero of Communism. LOL

Once again you are wrong.

Communism can work with small groups of people.

In fact what many tribal societies practiced is communism. All people worked for the collective well being of the tribe. You are scaling up and since you can't read very well I specifically said communism does not work when scaled up to large populations

Once again, you are wrong. Tribalism is not communism. You really don't know anything about the Communism you defend, do you?

There is no STATE ownership. Tribal members did keep their inheritances. They own their own huts. They didn't have progressive income taxes. Do they charge tribal members rent for their huts with the rent proceeds to go to the Chief?

From the Communist Manifesto:

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State: the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries: gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c., &c.

Did tribal societies work to destroy families:

From the Communist Manifesto:

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution. The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital. Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty. But, you will say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social. And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention, direct or indirect, of society by means of schools, &c.? The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.

From the Communist Manifesto:

The distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products, that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few. In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property

I don't mind kicking you around again:


Slavery ended first....FIRST...in America.

"July 2, 1777. In response to abolitionists' calls across the colonies to end slavery, Vermont became the first colony to ban it outright. Not only did Vermont's legislature agree to abolish slavery entirely, it also moved to provide full voting rights for African American males."

Vermont 1777: Early Steps Against Slavery
Long before Vermont became our 14th state, its people were known for their independence. They were not excited about joining the new United States; nor did they want to remain a part of the British crown. They liked being independent and made that clear to the other colonies on more than one...
