The WTO, the Ruckus Society/ANSWER/etc., the UN... thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis, both "sides" operating at the behest of the same monied class. Why? Because socialism consolidates control of the economy under government; then whoever controls the government controls the entire economy. Buy the right politicians, fund the media to get the masses to beg for more or pay off lawyers in the NGOs to get what you want through the courts, and presto, regulatory power puts your competitors out of business!
Socialism is reliable and safe, for them.
Here is a little quote written in 1933 from Homage to Catalonia, by George Orwell:
In reality, it was the Communists above all others who prevented revolution in Spain. Later, when the Right Wing forces were in full control, the Communists showed themselves willing to go a great deal further than the Liberals in hunting down revolutionary leaders.Orwell wasn't speaking theoretically. As a socialist and confidant of such Fabian luminaries as H.G. Wells and Julian Huxley, he knew the people of whom he spoke.[Snip]
Between the Communists and those who claim to stand to the Left of them there is a real difference. The Communists hold that Fascism can be beaten by alliance with sections of the capitalist class (the Popular Front); their opponents hold that this maneuver simply gives Fascism new breeding-grounds. The question has got to be settled; to make the wrong decision may be to land ourselves in for centuries of semi-slavery.
You know... They say that the most dangerous people on earth are those who "understand things!" I say, even more dangerous are those who help others "understand why!"
