Great article from the author of How You Can Find Happiness During the Collapse of Western Civilization published in 1983.
You are very correct about the book:
I have referenced it on this forum before, but am reluctant to do so because R.J. Ringer was a (little L) libertarian.
But his observations were very prophetic.
From:
“How to find Happiness during the Collapse of Western Civilization”
(R.J. Ringer 1983)
“On reflection, there probably is one distinction that can be made among a Liberal, Socialist, and Communist. While all three are dishonest, each one presents himself differently to the world.
A Liberal is nothing more than a closet communist; a Socialist is in the process of coming out of the closet; and a Communist is already on the outside, trying to shove you into the closet.”
