Why do Democrats behave the way they do?
That's a question that probably ever Conservative has asked at one time or another. They sure don't vote like we do. That was very evident in the last election.
As the mind controls the body, we can infer that Democrats thus think differently than we do. The big question is, "What are Democrats thinking that would cause them to vote for the Democrat candidate instead of the Conservative candidate?"
There have been many ideas put forward to explain Democrat voting behavior. One thought is that they vote the way their parents voted. Another explanation given is that they are easily convinced by famous people in our country who vote Democrat.
One of the best known explanations for Democrat voting behavior is that they vote Democrat because the Democrat leaders believe in socialism/communism and they have convinced many people that socialism/communism is a great way to live and that the Democrat Party wants to implement socialism/communism in the United States.
But is that true?
Do the leaders of the Democrat Party really want to implement socialism/communism in this country?
Or is that just a smoke screen to win elections?
The big name behind socialism/communism is Karl Marx.
You can boil down all his thoughts and writing, and boy did he have a lot of those, to one sentence.
"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
Kind of an interesting sentence. So how do we examine it. Well, I choose to examine it from two perspectives. The first perspective is what the Democrat Party says they believe about this sentence. The second perspective will be from the view of reality.
"From each according to his abilities"
THE DEMOCRAT VIEW: We all have inherent abilities. Some of us are ballet dancers. Some people are born to be scientists. People are happiest when they are busy doing the work that they have the natural ability to do. They will be so happy that they will produce many new inventions and a sufficiency of all products. People will not be held back by the prejudices of the rich capitalists.
THE REALITY: Somebody has to determine what every bodies abilities are or everyone will think their ability is to be a movie star or writer. And who decides that? Can people change their abilities with ducat ion and training. Yes. But someone has to slop the hogs. The reality is that there are good jobs and some really nasty jobs. Who decides who gets these jobs? Well, the bosses do. But I thought there were no bosses? See. Reality really shatters dreams. So you are always going to have a majority who feel that the bosses are screwing them. Doesn't sound so utopian, huh?
"To each according to his needs"
THE DEMOCRAT VIEW: How many needs does a person really have? They need so many calories per day. They need water. They need clothing. They need a warm dry place to sleep. Once all people have these needs met, then we can move forward to address other issues like recreation and philosophy. We will produce a perfect world with perfect people.
THE REALITY: Who decides a person's needs? Maybe I need a Mercedes. Maybe I need plastic surgery. Who decides if these needs will be met? Well, again, the bosses will decide what you really need. This inherently leads to shortages as that Mercedes worker "needs" time off and the Democrat Governor "needs" a Mercedes more than you do. Human beings don't stop being human beings under socialism/communism. They don't become robots with no feelings who can be started and stopped at will.
Communism fails every place it is tried. Human beings are human beings with all kinds of emotions.
Do the Democrat Party leaders know this?
Of course they do.
So why do they keep hinting that they are socialists/communists if they know it doesn't work?
Because they know that most people don't take a hard look at socialism/communism. And without taking a hard look, people can easily be convinced that they actually can have something (their needs met) for nothing (no great abilities means no hard work).
My Dad taught me that "Actions speak louder than words."
President Obama talked a lot about policies that were socialist/communist. What were his actions after he left the Presidency? Did he go to Turnip Commune #43 to help pull weeds?
Nope.
Off to a private island for some vacay.
How about Hillary?
Did she sell everything she owns and give the money to the poor?
Nope.
No pulling turnips for her either.
The Democrat Party leaders have absolutely no intention of bringing socialism/communism to our country.
They have every intention of putting more money in their own pockets.
This hinting at socialism/communism is just a smokescreen to get votes and donation money.
It is to blind us to their true purpose which is to enrich themselves.
Socialism and communism in themselves are just smoke screens for the true purpose of attaining power. They’re a means to fascism, which the useful idiots fall for because they think government can be trusted to be kind and benevolent once it gains total power.
The democrat leaders think of nothing but their elitist power, no matter who or what it hurts...Their cushy lives is all they care about and they’ll say and/or do anything to keep it...
They are repulsive...
They do because they use the largest government control over the people.
The book “Animal Farm” describes the democrat leaders to a “T”...
“Some animals are more equal than others...”
I think this worldview has evolved and Democrats are motivated today by blind emotional hatred of normal American society, including Judeo/Christianity and the patriarchal family system.
They believe it is “us against them” and have spent their lives as outcasts for their bizarre behaviors and/or beliefs and are fueled by this rage to attack everything that is promoted to benefit the traditional American lifestyle.
Zero was an open, avowed communist and they voted for him in droves. I think that answers the question right there.
Democrats, and liberals in general, do not believe in the formal theoretical Socialism or Communism creeds, any more than they believe in Christianity, They pick and choose their way through the various ideologies, for the ultimate objective - political power. That is one reason they have little problem with radical Islam, which they seem to protect with great zeal. By accepting some of the more radical postulates, they are “befriending” the Muslims, but with a total display of cynicism, they would drop this support like shedding a dirty shirt. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is one of the core beliefs, but definition of “enemy” can change in a flash.
No, that's just something people say now that the actual Communists aren't really around any more.
Very few people today really believe that a command economy of the sort that Lenin, Stalin, Mao, or Castro created would actually be an improvement or that it could deliver what people demand nowadays.
Exactly...
Makes no difference who or what...As long as it furthers their agenda...
The union leadership and some of the rank in file AFL/CIO do desire totaltarian government and freely speak it.
No. They like the power over people and to become richer. Do not want equality among citizens.
The Democrat Party is made up of hustlers who have come to realize that if they promise to give something for nothing to the weak, lazy and stupid segment of the American Population, the weak, lazy, and stupid will continue to vote them into office.
Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution (often referred to as The Theory of Survival of the Fittest) describes the positive effects resulting from any “pressure” on an animal species that removes the least fit among the species and allows only the most fit of the species to reproduce. Many of us are well aware of this “Survival of the Fittest” theory, but few are aware that Darwin also makes mention of the negative effects resulting from unlimited reproduction of a species’ least fit when the weak, the lazy, and the stupid are left unchecked.
We like to think otherwise, but our species, Homo sapiens-sapiens, isn’t that long “out of the trees” and the same laws of nature that affect all of God’s creatures apply equally to us. If we were to observe any other species that had been allowed to reproduce without limitations, we would know immediately what the consequences will be.
Whenever the weak; lazy; and stupid of a species are allowed to reproduce unimpeded by predators that feed off the weak; lazy; and stupid, they soon outnumber the strong, productive, and intelligent. When the weak/lazy/stupid dominate the gene pool, the entire population becomes weak/ lazy/stupid, and then the population collapses.
O rly? Then why did such a spectacularly unaccomplished Socialist like Rumplehair have any unpaid for appeal whatsoever?
As I have posted on FR in the past:
“Liberal Democrat = Social Democrat = Socialist = Communist”
Either Democrats believe in socialism/communism. Or they’re the prototypical ‘useful idiots’ Lenin spoke so disrespectfully of.
Nope, only power.
There certainly are some “true believers” in the Democrat Party. I don’t think there are many, though.
I believe the Democrat Party leaders use this hinting at socialism/communism as a deception.
One of the purposes of deception is to make your opponent waste his energy and resources in ways that don’t hurt you.
Conservatives need to keep attacking the Democrats at places that will hurt them.
I think they want us to waste time and energy and resources worrying about something they could actually care less about.
When I see Paleface Lizzy Warren out pulling turnips for a month at Turnip Commune #43, then I’ll start worrying that they are serious about socialism/communism.
Only power, by any means necessary. And socialism fits that bill.
