That strategy is what happens in every socialist hell hole. You pretend to work, the government pretends to pay you.

I suggest the strategy does not work. It is their goal to get you to give up. Poverty in plenty.

Thanks for the response. I’ve been thinking about that, too. I’m familiar with communism and its influence on the human spirit, and I agree with your thinking - socialism establishes poverty and provides perverse disincentives to work, save, and be productive.

I’m talking about a pre-emptive strike. The left needs to confiscate our wealth to establish their power - and, yes, once established, then they can use the state to perpetuate themselves, although not forever - the immortal Hegelian superstate only lasted 70 years for the Soviets.

My thought is that we starve the attempt to establish themselves. I don’t know if it will work or if it is quixotic daydreaming. I just don’t want to quietly walk into that dark night.
