I think they want to limit the world population to
500mil. Just enough workers to ply the worlds resources
and produce enough for a small group of elitist. 7bil.+
is just too many to control. The funny thing is, the know
nothing peons who support this communist movement will be
the first ones to go because they are worthless and are
not producers. Your right it never works. Leftist utopia
is a pipe dream that has never existed no matter how many
times it has been tried in the past. The only examples that
exist is it’s failures but they keep trying. It’s insanity.

It’s interesting that for some reason, socialists, and even proto-socialists who existed before the word socialist was created, have always had a “1 in 10 ratio” as part of their schemes.

Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson imagined that civilization should end, and that mankind would live in isolated rural villages, kept in a primitive state by itinerant “Orphic Poets”, 1 in 10 elites, who would twist and distort history and knowledge in such a way to keep them ignorant and uncivilized. And that they would reward these Orphic Poets with their substance as a reward for keeping them primitive, out of gratitude.

Ironically his idea was almost identical to that, possibly independently created by Dave Foreman of Earth First!

The pre Civil War slavery apologist George Fitzhugh, in his book ‘Cannibals All!: or, slaves without masters’, wrote that slavery was a positive social good, for which slaves are the beneficiaries, having no other concerns than to obey their masters. As such, he advocated that 9 out of every 10 people in the world be enslaved. He also wrote that the 1 out of 10 elite masters should be praised for doing the “hard work” of ruling the slaves and keeping them enslaved.

And finally, lizard expert Dr. Eric R. Pianka, in his infamous speech before the Texas Academy of Science, proposed an airborne ebola virus to wipe out 90% of humanity as a good thing. All but two of his fellow “scientists” and graduate students gave him wild applause for this notion. People who might very well be able to bring his insane notion to reality through genetic engineering.

Of the other two, one informed the FBI, and the other agreed with the first that this was what Pianka had said. For his part, Pianka tap-danced and said that he was just talking in theory, not advocating, a blatant lie.

But always with this 1 in 10 idea. Nobility and peasantry.
