Soros: The Chinese Model Of Suppressing Individuals Could Become The Envy Of The World

Courtney Comstock

Apparently, Soros is considering the possibility that people might some day want to be censored and live in a socialist society like China's.

He said yesterday at the Traveller’s Club in Paris, according to Dealbook:

“The world does need order, and that order needs maintenance. The idea that markets can correct their excesses turned out to be false.

“Perfect order and global governance are not realistic expectations. However, it is a sad fact that Western democracies provide less successful leadership than China.”

This is NOTHING new. All liberals think this way. They just don’t have the stones to say it, because then people will easily recognize them for the tyrannical statists that they really are.

The folks who agree are not just the elites but everyday people who would be quite happy having the STATE dictate their every move just as long as they get FREE three square meals, FREE housing and FREE medical.

Cool...can we just put them all on their own island somewhere (away from the rest of us who want FREEDOM)?

"...However, it is a sad fact that Western democracies provide less successful leadership than China..."

It may very well be that Business Insider misrepresents his quote. But the quote above is not...the key here is how statists like Soros define "leadership".

The article headline.

Soros: The Chinese Model Of Suppressing Individuals Could Become The Envy Of The World

I don't deny that the world would be better off when this evil POS assumes room temperature, but I hate it when we do the same cr*p the leftists do with misleading provocative headlines.

I dearly look forward to the day that Soros meets the same fate as Mr. and Mrs. Ceaucescu, Mussolini, Salavdore Allende and all other fascist, communist, thugs...

That day comes eventually.

What a corrupted, sick, cancerous old POS this man is.

Soros, head manipulating kapo, and his interlinked Insiders want to enslave America under a brutal communistic dictatorship.

Thank you for bringing sanity to this forum.

His claim regarding the markets is breathtakingly false and constitutes nothing but blatant propaganda. I don't think there is an economist in the world who would agree with his statement. Markets do correct themselves. The question is, at what social cost? One can honestly argue, "What is good about the markets' self-correcting mechanism if it entails 12% unemployment, say? Too much suffering." But observe this is NOT what Soros says, although he clearly knows what the actual issue is. This is the first instance were I can see him engaging in an open fraud.

As for self-correction abilities, I would say that the market can adjust even to government failures. It is doing so as we speak. Ever since 1998, the Community Reinvestment Act put a continually increasing upward pressure on housing prices (by demanding that bad loans be issued and purchased by Freddie and Fannie). This is what created the housing bubble. When the bubble reached unsustainable levels, prices reversed the course. The market has adjusted and continues to correct for that social-enginnerigng failure of the government. The social cost, of course, if very high.

But that's what the fascists do: not only do they deflect public's anger from the government as the source of the crises but directed at the heart of capitalism --- the markets and especially financial markets. They are succeding even among the conservatives, who blame Wall Street, the Fed, CEOs for government's sins.

I loved the last point you've made. It's worth repeating: What corrects government excesses? (we know the answer to that don't we)

I believe it's the culture -- values held by the public. I am often brought back to Samuel Adams' words, to wit: "This Constitution was created for a profoundly moral people. It is absolutely incapable of governing any other."

What matters here is not a philosophical opinion, of course. What matters is that, in the current climate of mass histeria, the Left has succeded in focusing the public's attention on the supposed deficiencies of the markets and enables the governmnet openly dismanle capitalism.

You don’t get it. The man could move to China (or the South Pole, for that matter) while continuing to meddle with US politics.

It is also the reason that Soros has stopped his attacks on Russia. Soros likes the way the Russians operate (Mostly communist, part maphia, Market manipulating, 100% aristrocratic thugs who run the country with an iron fist).

Soros is considering the possibility that people might some day want to be censored and live in a socialist society like China's.

Many others consider the possibility that people will someday revel in the fact that George Soros will have contracted some kind of debilitating ailment and is unable to move or speak, can only ingest nourishment from a tube and is a 24-hour user of Depends.

And a better world that will be.

I don't want him dead... yet. I want to have the satisfaction of knowing that evil bastard is suffering... painfully, agonizingly and humiliatingly.

For you perhaps but my wife and I still choose to live by the 10 commandments.

These advance aged Insiders seem be around forever. Maybe they are getting a sort of injection to extend their evil.
