The primary reason Communism doesn’t work is that it goes against the very nature of man. In Communism there is simply no motivation for anyone to work hard. When there is a zero correlation between the amount or quality of work you do and the compensation you receive, your motivation to work hard, or maybe work at all, simply evaporates. This is particularly true given that the compensation for the slacker at the next desk is equally without correlation as he continues to get the same salary regardless of whether he actually gets anything done or not. And while Communism as we know it has only been around since 1848, the ideas behind it have been around for much longer… and not surprisingly it was a failed ideology long before Marx and Engels gave it a brand name.
I’m not going to suggest that Barack Obama is exactly a Communist… even if he was, apparently he’s smart enough to lie about it if he knew it would harm his image… I do however think he’s a fan of one of the basic mantras of Communism: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” with him deciding who needs what. At the same time he’s very much a fan of the Fascist economic model where private property exists but government mandates much if not all of its activity. For him everything else is to simply be manipulated in order to achieve those two tenants of his philosophy.
For six years Barack Obama has been doing everything in his considerable power to bring that philosophy into effect in the United States. In all fairness, many of the things he has pursued had their genesis in previous administrations, but under Barack Obama they found an unabashed champion who was willing to turbo charge them as he sought to “fundamentally transformed America”.
The scorecard of Obama’s accomplishments is breathtaking:
Fascism and Communism are not really all that far apart.
The economy of Nazi Germany had incredibly strong parallels to what is going on today. Only politically connected sychophant businesses were able to prosper.
I truly expected a bit better of Flopping Aces, one of my go-to sources. Tenants rent spaces in his philosophy. What does that accomplish?
Under communism, the people purportedly control property, businesses, farms, factories, etc, while in reality a totalitarian government controls them.
Fascism is simpler. Under fascism the totalitarian government openly controls property, businesses, farms, factories, etc, and makes no qualms about it.
Woops....let that slip by me. Fixed
Fascism and Communism are excellent tools for a Moslem President to lay low the chief Infidel opposition to the Universal Caliphate.
Maybe it keeps part of his mind busy so he can’t get up to quite as much mischief.
Meanwhile wages his war on us by burning us to death using rail cars with oil.
There is a simpler approach to discounting other forms of government than defining the differences. This approach is simpler because of what all other forms of government have in common.
America’s founding documents are clear. The people’s right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness come from their creator and to protect those rights is the purpose to institute a government.
Do not support any government whose most important function is not to protect rights.
Do support governments whose most important function is to protect rights.
Capitalism exist in other forms of governments but the difference between other forms of government and Americanism is in who can own and control the capital. Americanism provides the people with the right of private ownership and control of capital.
Heavily sprinkled with moronic incompetence. :-)
