In Orwell’s Oceania in 1984, there was a class hierarchy of three levels:
1. The upper-class Inner Party, the elite ruling minority, who make up 2% of the population.
2. The middle-class Outer Party, who make up 13% of the population.
3. The lower-class Proletariat, who make up 85% of the population and represent the uneducated working class.
Orwell called them “proles.”
In this respect, Orwell was not especially prescient; Woodrow Wilson had proposed the same plan a couple of decades earlier.
“We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks.” - Woodrow Wilson
And more than 2,000 years before that, aristocracy was proposed by the Greek philosopher Plato as the first level of five degenerating regimes of government.
“The aristocratic state that Plato idealizes is composed of three caste-like parts: the ruling class, made up of the aforementioned philosophers-kings (who are otherwise identified as having souls of gold); the auxiliaries of the ruling caste, made up of soldiers (whose souls are made up of silver), and whose job in the state is to force on the majority the order established by the philosophers; and the majority of the people (souls of either bronze or iron), who, in contrast to the first two classes, are allowed to own property and produce goods for themselves, but are also obliged to sustain with their own activities their rulers’ — who are forbidden from owning property in order to preclude that the policies they undertake be tainted by personal interests.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato%27s_five_regimes
And the last, worst, regime?
Tyranny.
Incredibly, history tells us the proletariat (the ‘proles’) like being the proletariat, they like living on the plantation. They like it when Hillary calls them deplorable, stupid and easy to manipulate.
It’s like Kevin Bacon in the movie “Animal House,” ‘Thank you sir, May I have another?’ - https://youtu.be/qdFLPn30dvQ
Now, you would be justifiably curious to wonder, ‘if Trump is so great, why does he have so much opposition?’
Well, the answer is somewhat obvious. If you are a member of the Inner Party like Baron Rothschild, or George Soros or Hillary Clinton and on the verge of world domination, would you want Trump interfering with your game plan?
No of course not.
In the vernacular, he’s ‘over the target.’
But, why on Earth would an ordinary person, a prole, support Barack, or Hillary, or Bernie?
With a hat tip to Jeff Foxworthy, ‘If you are a prole, you might:’
You might be gullible; you’ve been indoctrinated to believe you are oppressed and disadvantaged in the freest nation ever to exist on the face of this planet.
Freedom is not free.
Or, you might be insane?
“Psychiatrist Calls Today’s Left Mentally Ill” - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3682762/posts
Or, you might be a Millennial Snowflake? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Snowflake
Largely due to your own making, you might be poor or disadvantaged, but it is very unlikely you are truly oppressed.
A victim of Identity Politics and Balkanization, you actually believe the Social Justice Warriors.
Probably you are physically, mentally and intellectually lazy, maybe even ignorant and slothful.
“Truth is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is.” – Winston Churchill
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” – John Adams
Evidence, facts and truth cannot be racist or even hateful.
Confronting you with the evidence of the truth of your life is embarrassing and hurtful, maybe you are even offended.
There is no civil right to not be offended.
Like they say on the street, ‘it is what it is.’
You’re suing your high school because you can’t read.
“Students in Detroit Are Suing the State Because They Weren’t Taught to Read” - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3668938/posts
Probably didn’t help that you attended school less than 25% of the time, and you may have dropped out before finishing the 8th Grade.
Statistically, you likely have a lengthy police record and likely served jail time.
You have no salable job skills and thus no job either.
Are you unreliable? Do your work habits suck?
Are you a drunkard, a drug user, a stoned dope-smoker?
At $15/hour, you’re not worth minimum wage.
Thank a ‘compassionate’ Democrat for making you completely unemployable.
Yet, because you don’t have $500,000.00 disposable income, and a Lambo, you believe you’ve been denied some “privilege” based on race, or gender, or sexual preference, or ethnicity, or national origin, or handicap, or you’re an InCel, too young, too old, too fat, too skinny, too ugly, can’t sing or some other excuse.
Like Rodney Dangerfield and Al Sharpton said, you just ‘don’t get no R-E-S-P-I-C-T’ [sic].
Because you don’t have a job, even though you are an adult, you might live in your parents’ house?
And they have to get a court order to evict you: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/05/22/couple-seeks-courts-help-to-evict-30-year-old-son-from-their-home.html
The Deep State tells you you’re just not treated equally, and they are going to fix it for you; in fact, they’re going to make you ‘more equal’ than everybody else.
And you believe them.

You’re not alone.
Before he had them murdered, 60 million Chinese believed Chairman Mao’s promises.
All of those factors make you easy prey and susceptible to being organized to support crazy ideas of socialism, Marxism, communism – all those ideas that fail again and again.
And, so you’re going to vote for Elizabeth Warren, because she ‘loves’ you just like Barack and Hillary.
She loves you so much, she promises to provide taxpayer-funded abortions at genocidal levels at strategically located Planned Parenthood Centers in predominantly Black neighborhoods, making them as convenient as 7-11’s.
They might even start selling Lotto tickets too? Some people call the lottery a voluntary tax on the stupid.
She’s gonna give you “stuff” for free that they took away from somebody else (who actually earned it).
Just like Lenin and Stalin and Hitler and Mao and Pol Pot and Castro and Maduro loved all those millions of proles they murdered.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is an advocate for Chinese-style Communism.

You really, really believe Marxism is going to be different, this time.
You really believe you’re going to get everything you want for nothing.
Worse, you actually believe your “civil rights” “entitle” you to everything you want for nothing.
Just because you think you “deserve” it.
Most people can’t imagine why you might believe that?
You are convinced you are a “victim.”
Kinda cute, that’s what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells you. Why would she lie?
Societies that embrace the concept of ‘Be all You Can Be’ thrive.
Societies that embrace concepts of redistributive equality (Marxism by whatever name you call it) always fail.
Always.
You’ve heard it a million times, but you don’t really believe it; you don’t believe that equality is NOT equal outcome.
To you, equality IS equal outcome.
Merit is just another meaningless word.
“In the year 2081, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General’s agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear “handicaps”: masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic.” “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron
Sadly, about 35% percent of Americans prove Hillary correct every time they vote; they are reliably dumb and easy to manipulate.
“Low information voter” is what Rush Limbaugh calls you.
“The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law” - Aristotle
Equality is NOT about everyone having equal amounts of “stuff.”
Another now meaningless concept, ‘you have to earn it’ the old-fashioned way.
“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual [or an idiot] could ignore or evade it.” – Thomas Sowell
“Only the educated are free.” – Epictetus
“No nation can be ignorant… and free.” – Thomas Jefferson
You might be dumb because the totalitarians want you to be dumb, a condition that makes it so much easier to enslave you. To make you immoral and decadent. To make you dependent upon those who enslave you.

In the fable, why did first the rats, and then the children of Hamelin follow the alluring sounds of the Pied Piper into the sea to their deaths?
Given a choice, why would you not choose a life of personal responsibility and freedom?
Good question. I don’t have an answer.
Let me guess, it’s too hard, too much work?
Thankfully, in America, most people (by only a slim diminishing margin) still prefer freedom and personal responsibility. And they cherish an opportunity to work hard.
Theodore Roosevelt said, “The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight.”
But, you don’t believe that.
Rest assured, history is full of examples of people who fell for the rhetoric and followed Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Ortega, Chavez, Maduro, Idi Amin Dada and so many others – and that’s just in the 20th Century; to their deaths, just like the rats and kids of Hamelin. Moral: you have to pay the piper.
“In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.” - Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Gibbon and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_the_Decline_and_Fall_of_the_Roman_Empire
“There is in fact a manly and legitimate passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom.” - Alexis de Tocqueville
If you are content living life as a prole, subservient to the apparatus promised by Marx, Obama, Clinton et al – you will have no interest in reading this article (even if you are able to read).

“Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses,” - H. L. Mencken
The greatest thing any government can guarantee its people is liberty; unfettered freedom to succeed, unfettered freedom to fail.
“Free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last.” – MLK, Jr.
Is it easy?
No it’s not easy; it’s really hard work – for everybody.
Freedom beats servitude, hands down, every time.
Some folks have a knack, a talent, for making it look easier than others and it makes you jealous and envious.
Larry Bird makes basketball look easy - but it’s not, not even for Larry.
Albert Einstein makes theoretical physics look easy – but it’s not, not even for Albert.
Most people are not famous, or celebrities, they just work hard; believing achievement is its own reward.
Humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) called it “Self-Actualization.”
If you’re sitting around waiting for the government to deliver a bucket of opportunity at your feet, it doesn’t happen that way, nor should it.
Go make your own opportunity.
The constitutional guarantee to you is a republican form of government.
The constitution does not “give” you your “rights.”
Your rights come from God.
The constitution denies government the power to take away from you those God-given rights.
The constitution restrains the government – it does not restrain the people.
The only thing your government “owes” you is the liberty to enjoy those God-given rights.
Article IV. Section. 4.
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.”
Of course, you don’t know that and it’s not entirely your fault, Your government-run schools, like reading (the “Three R’s,”) never taught a class in Civics either.
Civics is defined as the duties and responsibilities of a citizen.
Your understanding of the role of government comes from Barack Obama, or someone like him.
Consequently, not only do you not know WHO to vote for, you have no idea WHAT to vote for because you have no idea how the American republic is supposed to work,
You vote for the “freebies” every time. Rush says you vote for Santa Claus.
In short, you are a parasite.
If you are a parasite, if you don’t even pull your weight much less contribute one iota to society as a whole, if you have no “sweat equity” in America; you should not have a right to vote.
You shouldn’t have the right to vote because, frankly, you’re just too damn dumb to make a rational, educated decision about good governance for America.
“Americans Fail the Test of Civic Literacy? - http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/2008/summary_summary.html
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” – attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville
The problem is, Congress is not bribing you with your money, they are bribing you with wealth they confiscated from those that earned it.
“To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, — the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, & the fruits acquired by it.” - Thomas Jefferson’s comment in a prospectus for his translation of Destutt de Tracy’s Treatise on Political Economy
Even though it is immoral, and if you are a parasite, you love living on the dole and reelecting congresscritters who promise never to turn off the spigot.
That’s why parasites shouldn’t vote.
You want to vote?
Get out of the wagon, pull your weight.
“You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you make good use of it.“ - John Quincy Adams
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” – Ronald Reagan
“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
And, that is why the Deep State (and the ‘proles’) hate President Donald Trump.
The Deep State thought they had the skids greased to take over the world with barely a whimper of opposition.
And the ‘proles’, as the old joke goes, thought it was time to light up a camel and sit on their asses.
But a few people woke up and they elected a champion to do battle for them.
To Make America Great Again.
History teaches us that tyrants (the Inner Party) always rise to despotic power on the backs of the Useful Idiots, the low-information voters, the “proles.”
That’s what Lenin and Trotsky did in Russia, foment rebellion among the worker-soviet; and then once in power, to betray them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Revolution
Turn on your TV – look at Venezuela right this very minute and watch another betrayal, another human tragedy unfold.
The educated, productive classes (the wannabe Outer Party) are much harder to persuade, to dominate, to enslave.
In fact, in Russia they had a name, the Kulaks.
They were so difficult to control; Stalin had them systematically murdered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulak
In China, Chairman Mao incited rebellion among the naïve students. Imagine 60 million David Hogg’s.
They were well organized (like ANTIFA and BLM) and they were known as the Red Guards, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards
They thought they were fighting for justice and Utopia; what they got was re-education and death.
In the Cultural Revolution, the productive upper-middle classes; the doctors, lawyers, professors, engineers were sent to menial labor in the rice paddies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution
As always, those who could not be re-educated successfully were murdered.
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” - Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung, Vol. II, pp. 224-225
Don’t believe it?
Turn on your TV and right this minute watch another redistributive Marxist regime in South Africa expropriate property and murder the owners.
These are genuine “reality shows.” As they say, the real deal.
And this is what the proles comprising the Totalitarian Left, the Progressives, the DNC, the Socialists, ANTIFA, Occupy and BLM clamor for here in America?
They are idiots.
That’s why the Deep State is so angry, even though they know he won’t be there long.
At most, Trump will be there another six years, maybe just two.
What will happen to America and its people then?
We better have a plan, long term.
“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” - Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)
“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.” - Ayn Rand
To preserve our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness it is necessary that “We the People” must reassert the Founders’ vision of the sovereignty of the people.
