Normal, Healthy People Don’t Want To Be Dictators

______________________________________________________

Nonsense. Take any statistically normal, healthy person and make them a dictator. I’d love to see just how many would willingly give up the power, especially if the society was actually flourish under their rule.

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people’s heads a-roll
A-roll, A-roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction

Socialism is Communist Lite.

Being a little bit Communist is like being a little bit pregnant.

I disagree with the premise in the title. Throughout a life and career, I have found that a significant percentage of people actually do indeed “want to be dictators”. Unless the author wants to argue that this large number of people are all “unhealthy”, I would say it’s simply a common trait of a significant number of people.

Who are these people? I have seen teachers, administrators, bosses, bureaucrats, police, store clerks, politicians, and more, who all want to dictate without argument the choices of people they deal with.

To me, the issue becomes how to best deal with such control freaks, not to call them sick and attempt to avoid them.

The psychological field was highjacked by leftists as a means of pushing Communism on the US way back in the 50’s.
Their first attempt at forcing communism on us came in the form of the “poverty is the cause of violence” lie. Like that line from the musical “West Side Story says: “Hey! I’m depraved ona count of I’m deprived!”
Of all the medical fields being accused of keeping people sick to make money, psychology is keeping people mentally ill to force communism as the solution. We should have a much deeper understanding of what causes schizophrenia, personality disorders, and homosexuality by now, but those who should be researching are too busy pushing the lie that transgender and homosexuality are normal.
