Give it a read and see what your take is on this. Will we face the future that the WEF envisions for us, or. Personally, I think they are underestimating our resolve. Game Over, Man, Game Over All my life, I have heard that the left have a plan, and it’s working perfectly and we’ve already lost. If you’re my age — born at the very end of 62 — or older, you’ve probably heard the same from serious people, usually stroking their beards (even the women.) “It’s over. Communism will inevitably win. They have a plan. It’s lost. All we can do is delay.” Often it goes back to how leftist the young are, and how “if you give me a child” etc. (Which btw is true in the small things (I still apologize to bread when I drop it) but not so much in the big ones, or no one would abjure the faith of their youth.) And sometimes to 1984 or other Ploddenapocaliptishmarxencrap (Probably a German word, or it should be.) Yeah. Okay, the commies got a plan. That is sort of their one and only given strength. They plan, they organize, they work towards the world’s stupidest things, but they do it TOGETHER. (Eh, mostly.) But to believe it’s working you’d have to forget everything from the collapse of the Soviet Union (THEY surely try to forget it) to the repeated smacks on the nose they have got in America, to the fact many of you don’t seem to know that the only reason that the Soviet Union survived that long was because we FED THEM. (Seriously. We should give all those who lost relatives to the Soviet Union and its depredations, including the poor bastards in Africa destroyed by Russia’s Cuban mercenaries a chance to disinter FDR’s corpse and kick it around. It’s no more than a very mild form of justice.) Communism is in fact an idea so stupid that only intellectuals can believe it and try to apply it. Fortunately for them they do attract most intellectuals with the siren song of “because you’re smarter than other people, you see this.” I was fortunate, I guess, to have grown up in a religion that has a long list of approved prophecies going back centuries, some of which range from the trivial tot he “OMG, that’s not even possible.” But for every one of these prophecies, I can find a site on the internet where brilliant minds “prove” it’s already working out. “When they said the sky would turn purple with yellow polka dots, they actually meant my mom would wear a dress that color and stand on the fence. It’s happening, man. It’s happening.” And because I was raised and indoctrinated in that system I read those sites and believe it. For about ten seconds. There is this kind of confirmation in the best written (and it’s brilliant fiction, btw) Ploddenapocaliptishmarxencrap. Yeah, 1984 is great fiction, though I’ll note I haven’t re-read it since I was 14. But I remember most of it, which tells you it was good. Just not fun. However Orwell was a believer, even if a heretic. As an adult, read the damn thing and tell me it’s in the least likely. Not only would it fall apart within years — if not weeks — because no one can manage a large economy well enough for it to survive that long (yeah, China. Sure buddy. If you think China is working out that well, you haven’t looked closely), but it could never extend to the whole world, or everyone would starve and die out. The other thing is that it’s 1940s tech extended indefinitely. This might work — eh, sort of — under really tightly controlled regimes, but sooner or letter a clever monkey (ape, d*amn it. We’re apes) throws a wrench in. The internet is a big wrench, and their attempts to put the genie back in the bottle have been markedly unsuccessful. But it doesn’t take the internet. The Soviet Union was brought down by typewriters and copiers. At twelve I built a radio from old parts in the attic (well, you see, I wanted a radio. So dad put down Three Men In A Boat which he was re-reading and told me “So, get one. I have no objection.” (This is actually an accurate representation of that moment. Yes. I know. Look, I thought Have Spacesuit was not fiction, let alone science fiction. For all I knew any kid in America could go to the moon.).) It got BBC transmissions (better than FM, d*mn it.) Leaving aside a regime so nuts they thought that the BBC was “right wing” (Bernie? Is that you?) I did it at 12, broke, and well…. with not much knowledge. Because monkeys (apes, ook) will tinker. Take a deep breath. I have in the backburner a project called “Loose a Heinlein character in 1984 stand back and grin.” But the truth is you don’t need a Heinlein character (I could never build a boat. I could learn to butcher my food I just never have.) You need a human. Just a human. Communism is a toddler, trying to get humans to behave like building blocks, and screaming and yelling and breaking things when humans won’t. By definition it can’t win. This should be particularly obvious when their strength is “mass everything” and we’re headed towards “individualized everything.” They can hurt us. They can’t win. In memory of our martyred — but not defeated — brothers in freedom in Hong Kong, all you have to do is be like water. Be like water, my friends. Be like water. In the end we win, they lose. Be not afraid.
"Communism is in fact an idea so stupid that only intellectuals can believe it and try to apply it." I think you must have lived down the road from me!
hmmm... interesting piece... thought out... well written... and I like this comparison... "Communism is a toddler, trying to get humans to behave like building blocks, and screaming and yelling and breaking things when humans won’t. By definition it can’t win."
This only work when all the players are on the same page of the plan. Every Empire in history has failed because they got fat and lazy, the folks got fed up and rose up and took it back, or died trying! Some times it worked, some times it didn't, but it always put the fear of god into those who ran the big show! That's what we have here today, a few very big and very powerful elites who think they know what's best, and have a plan forward, the problem with all that is, they first have to have complete control, and that's not going to happen, at least not before enough folks say NO and take a stand against it! Some one once said Communism was the right idea tried out in the wrong country at the wrong time! They were idealists with no concept of reality or how to implement it and make it work. They were also optimists who saw the immense wealth that they themselves could amass at the expense of the people they controlled! Facts are, Communism cannot work, never has, never will, because it requires absolute force and absolute control, things they can never hold fully!
An indication of a "falling away" by those that do not align to those that wish to dominate everyone? Next step in the process will be that other state will welcome them into its folds of freedom. In bizarre move, western Maryland leaders ask West Virginia to adopt their counties
Fantastic topic, I'm glad to see some valid points brought up! Just for consideration, it's obvious to some of us that Communism doesn't "work", it is fundamentally flawed. But, in my studies I have discovered this was on purpose, as communism was never meant to be the final solution. Communism is a tool for destroying existing societies from within by utilizing the largest mechanism available, that being the lower and middle class of citizenry, which really has become one class under the edicts of equal opportunity and redistribution of wealth. The goal, in theory, is to attain a socialist society that can promote 'well being' in an equal measure -which is the exact antithesis of any capitalist society. I can dispense with the explanation, as I'm sure everybody here can relate, but I'd like to add there's another key ingredient for socialism to function, and it is the absolute rule and authority of the control group, be they dictator or oligarchy. Yes, Communism, and even Socialism doesn't "work" in the long term for a society that is expected to function with a free market or "capitalist" role. But, it doesn't have to work, it just has to do what was intended, which is to destroy from within. The wealthy robber barons and industrialists of times past have integrated into every facet of corporate cartels across the planet, forming alliances and stretching their global reach previously beyond imagining. The taxation programs have successfully transferred wealth into the hands of the collective, and every construct of government at every level, both Federal and State have been incorporated. The board members control certain decision making, and steer these corporate entities from the safety net of "National Security", and investment juggernauts such as China can literally buy and own large portions of these corporations. What I'm getting at is there's no ceiling, no limit to the control apparatus, as it can change hands and be moved around from one investment group to the next without John Q. Public even knowing. As unemployment continues to rise, the level of debt will also increase, and this is also an investment opportunity for corporations, with every person becoming a commodity to be traded according to their respective value. The goal is not necessarily to turn a profit, but to claim ownership over the lives of the citizenry, at least in a technocratic kind of OCD way. They've invested in your debt based on the potential for your value as a subject to be ruled over, not as a free citizen. The hard part to wrap your mind around may be the means by which these corporations actually turn a profit, and that is through investments in other corporations. It literally is like the oroboros, the serpent eating its own tail. Anybody can verify this fact by checking any and all comprehensive annual financial report for a corporation, paying special attention to every fund group listed. If your State, which is a corporation, is invested in General Electric, and they hit a roadblock and profits start to wane, China gets involved because it is now controlled by them. None of these corporations can fail, or it's curtains...and if there's a risk to their venture by some group of citizens, well it's easy to see who steers the policy making, right? That's just one, small hypothetical example. Sure, Communism doesn't actually work if you expect it to function within the auspices of societal constraint, but it was never meant to do so. For what it actually is, Communism is working flawlessly -destroying everything in its path to make way for a new global order of control.
Was reading an article about a subject that is dear to us all, ammunition! That article inferred that the ammunition shortages are the result of the major manufacturers being acquired by just a couple large corporations, who have created said shortages. Monopolies.
