Actually, I reject the world of the left because I know that any halcyon ideas about the left’s perfect world are false, and the real world underlying the lie is a horrible, evil place indeed.
To begin with, the left is caught up in the Judeo-Christian mythology, even as they deny Judeo-Christianity. They merely substituted different versions of the same ideas. So what are their goals?
Eventually, a return to the Garden of Eden. A place where history, and the knowledge of good and evil do not exist, where man is just another animal, never again straying from the Garden.
They have renamed the Garden of Eden “The State of Nature”, and it represents a rejection of learning, society, civilization, science, technology, art, and individuality.
To achieve this goal, the left has to dismantle civilization and return man to small tribes, living in isolated villages, with “masters” whose purpose it is to keep man from evolving back to civilization, living in fear and ignorance.
The tool to dismantle civilization is socialism, forcing all mankind to be equal, as a herd is equal, striving towards mediocrity and group behavior. Importantly, this is the only real goal of socialism, so while socialists proclaim its benefits for things like education and health care, it is a lie. All that matters to them is that everyone must do it the same. They are indifferent to the fact that it doesn’t work, providing neither education nor health care.
Oddly enough, there is one situation in which socialism does work: extreme, life threatening deprivation and rationing. If people only have a bare minimum of water and food, it is essential that it be shared equally.
And this is why socialists have no other way of addressing problems than “We must do with less”, “We must pay more”, “We must lower our expectations of the future”. Essentially a pessimistic doctrine, because when there is abundance and prosperity, socialism is not efficient, in fact it is wasteful and stupid.
They must create the situation of shortage and high price, or at least convince people that it is inevitable, like Man Made Global Warming—it is a disaster, so we cannot drive cars and must give socialists political power and money.
People around the world are also very creative in solving problems, so much so that even socialism has proven unable to stifle their creativity and prosperity. So for this reason, the socialist has become a worshiper of death, wanting vast numbers of people to die or be killed. This was seen recently at a “scientific seminar” in Texas, where “scientists” applauded the idea of most of the world’s population being wiped out in a plague.
Fewer people means fewer slaves to manage. And this is the inherent elitism of socialism. Most socialists feel deeply inferior to the average person. But they mask this inferiority complex behind a superiority complex. They think of themselves as elites, who should be masters over everyone else, who should in turn be their slaves.
For some reason, they long ago selected the ratio of 1:10, one socialist to rule ten slaves, and keep them in their place.
To make it even more annoying, they insist that the slaves should be grateful to their masters for giving them the “freedom” of slavery. And keeping the slaves down is hard work for which they want gratitude.
Socialists have long pushed ideas that involve group action, such as Obama’s Peace Corps idea. Mandatory service is even being forced on high school students as a requirement to graduate, and socialists call for it to be required nationwide, of course.
While their favorite group activity is group exercise, socialists can also be deeply militaristic, if not militant. That is, they are thrilled with uniformity in the ranks, military drill and ceremonies, and how they have a captive audience on which to experiment with social policy.
But socialists are usually disdainful of the real purpose of the military, as fighting in a war clearly shows superiority and inferiority, strength, courage, and character, which are generally lacking in socialists.
So indeed, the world the socialist left would create would be hellish, indeed. Not the hippie fantasy once promised, a world of peace, love and drugs; but a horrible place of dehumanization, poverty, slavery, murder, sickness and starvation. That is the “Hope” and “Change” the left promise.
True.
Excellent post and I agree.
“to begin with, the left is caught up in the judeo-christian mythology...”
huh???

Easily worth posting as a vanity article, IMHO.Eventually, a return to the Garden of Eden.

What references would you cite?

Great point, but one sentence left me scratching my head:
>>For some reason, they long ago selected the ratio of 1:10, one socialist to rule ten slaves, and keep them in their place.
Could you provide some examples?
That was a great post.
Sounds like North Korea.
Yes, they say with a straight face that the ideal world is one in which no one feels envy for anyone else. It's lost on them that a) envy is a choice, and b) envy is a cardinal sin.
Leftists have figured out how to temporarily redistribute wealth, with the government taking a gluttonous commission on each transaction, but how are they going to redistribute age, beauty, talent, skill, intelligence, size, personality, family, friends, and lovers? Their goal of achieving an envy-free world is totally unattainable.
Great post!
Those enamored of Equality ought to Google up “Procrustes”.
Procrustes was a stickler for equality.

Great commentary. I've printed this off to show some people I know.
