This is one reason I support an Atlas Shrugged strike over revolution. The former makes it so the producers survive while at the same time denying the parasites a justification to engage even more force against us and a scapegoat to blame their own actions on.
>>>Given this charged atmosphere of anger, hate and potential violence that has infected too many Americans against Government, the Federal Reserve, Democrats, fictitiously labeled “Socialists” and social welfare programs, we are at risk of experiencing a controlled, scripted and programmed “Revolution” - not by the Left, but by the Right.<<<
This comment probably dates me, but it reminds of me how me and my roommates used to discuss politics in the dorms back in the 1970s, fueled by passion, good weed, and a lack of knowledge.
I support an Atlas Shrugged strike, too. They can take everything from me except my will to be productive. Call if the Cloward-Piven strategy in reverse. The government needs to confiscate productive people’s wealth; what if we just decided to stop being productive?
The mass strike help bring down communist Poland, too.
As things get worse, I’ll hunker down and stop buying, stop producing, and if I can help it, dissolve my wealth in such a way as to prevent the government or anyone from using it. At that point I’ll be “inside” the system set up by the left of “the needy,” and then I can start acting like a good little termite and erode the structure slowly until the rot causes the whole edifice to fall apart.
At that point, I’ll still have the values and foresight which made me productive in the first place, and there’s always a construction boom after a calamity. Like Rahm Emmanuel said, don’t let a crisis go to waste.
