9. What will I do with people who aren’t willing to go along with my revolution? Walter Williams once said that he doesn’t mind if communists want to be communists. He minds that they want him to be a communist, too. Would you allow people to try capitalist experiments in your socialist paradise? Or socialist experiments in your capitalist paradise (Families, incidentally, are socialist enterprises that run by the principle “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”)? Am I willing to allow dissenters to advocate my overthrow, or do I need to crush dissent and control the minds of the masses in order for my revolution to work? Am I willing to allow people to leave, or will I need to build a wall to keep people in?

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right, all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right, all right, all right
You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right, all right, all right

Q. Do head shots hurt?
A. No. You don’t even feel them.

These kind of people are inherently incompetent. They’ll find out their ideas are nothing but ideas, no substance. They couldn’t even run a grocery store, let alone a country.
The commune experiments of the 60’s and 70’s failed because they did not take into account human individuality expressed as ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’ in the Bible. The communes usually devolved into the stronger personalities establishing a dictatorship followed by the other members leaving for their parents basement and the communal property going into foreclosure.
“These kind of people are inherently incompetent. They’ll find out their ideas are nothing but ideas, no substance. They couldn’t even run a grocery store, let alone a country.”
Hillary Clinton gushed in an interview, “Some of my best ideas are inarticulable.” What she was experiencing were pleasant (to her) daydreams. You don’t need to deal with facts or physics when you daydream.
People who want to change the world are daydreamers. If they bothered with knowledge and thought they would quickly realize they are dispensable and the world will do as well or better without them. Those daydreamers who want to seize control and run things according to their dreams will only take a functioning society and reorder it to the point it is nonfunctional. A former Soviet citizen told me, “One year they left matches off the big list of things the state would make. Suddenly on street corners there were men standing at all hours with a homemade brazier and tongs. For two kopeks they would light your cigarette.”
