Socialism, Failure & Harsh Reality
April 28, 2009
Socialism, like a tick or leech, grows fat on the blood of its host
until the host dies. The greatest socialist experiments of modern times
had an outward and initial appearance of success. That initial success
seduced many people into ignoring the later realities that proved
socialism is the brutal playground for amoral leaders and intellectuals.
Europe’s current love affair with socialism is beginning to reveal the
sinister intentions of the ruling elite and the ugly consequences of
making poor decisions. The host is dying and the elite know it.
The initial success of Nationalist Socialism in Germany, Fascism in
Italy and of Communism in the Soviet Union and China were totally
dependent on the seizure of resources and assets accumulated under
capitalism. The creation of new capital and capital assets then became a
political decision, not an economic one decided by a free market.
Germany got “guns and butter”. Italy’s trains ran on time. Russia and
China got steel mills and collectives. These apparent successes hid the
costs that were paid in human lives and misery.
Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union and China could not sustain their
socialist economies without war and slavery. First, they declared war on
their internal opponents, looting their property and putting them to
work in forced labor camps. The more that were worked to death the
better, since that would mean fewer mouths to feed, clothe and shelter.
When the internal resources had been plundered, each nation stole what
they did not have by acts of aggression against their neighbors. Eastern
and Western Europe, Libya and Ethiopia, Tibet and India have all
suffered because of their neighbors’ failed socialist systems.
Every socialist state makes war on its own people first, whether it’s
the outright arrest and enslavement of political opponents or the class
warfare promoted in so-called socialist democracies. Every socialist
state plunders the wealth built by capitalism until it is exhausted.
Every so-called democratic socialist state panders to a slim majority
for approval to steal from a minority. Every so-called democratic
socialist state maintains a slave labor class to be exploited
economically and used politically to keep the elite in power.
European socialist have just about exhausted the resources built by
capitalism and are importing the slave labor class required to sustain
their economies. The Muslim’s in Europe are second class citizens,
deliberately kept in economic despair so that other citizens may enjoy
the “fruits of socialism”, or more appropriately the labor of an
exploited minority. Europe’s socialist elite however, have made a
serious miscalculation about Islam and their ability to seduce Muslim’s.
Rioting in Paris, rape in Scandinavia, mosques in England and “no-go”
Muslim neighborhoods were not part of the elite plan for European
socialism. Muslims are not about to abandon their culture, morality and
values wholesale as so many Europeans have.
The blueprint for American socialism is not that much different than the
model offered by Europe. Once the wealth of capitalism has been
consumed, a slave labor class of second class citizens must keep the
economy afloat. That class of citizen is already here in the form of
illegal immigrants. They are proving to be just as much of a problem for
their American socialist masters as are the Muslim’s of Europe for their
European socialist masters.
America’s worthless class is in line for free everything; health care,
education, food, housing, transportation, HDTV coupons and whatever
Obama and company can promise them. How much more will they demand?
America’s slave labor class is already toiling in the fields to provide
cheap lettuce, landscaping, housekeepers, wood decks and menial
services. How much longer before they rebel? America’s working class is
caught in the middle and paying for what the other classes claim they
want and need. The temptation to switch sides and get on the receiving
line rather than the giving line is great. How much longer will they
resist?
Socialism
will fail no matter where it is tried. Human nature screams “I want a
better life.” Socialism screams back “I’ll give it to you.” Reality
whispers “There is no free lunch. Someone has to do the work.” Reality
may not be heard, but it always has the last word.
