How is it that a political party that espouses any, if not in fact all of the positions outlined below be regaining favor and likely to return to power in the next election?
1. You owe everything you have accomplished to those that have gone before and paved the way, so you have done nothing.
2. If you aren’t given free birth control or do not use it and become pregnant, just kill it.
3. The state should provide you with all essentials for life: food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical care and whatever else you consider necessary.
4. You do not need to protect yourself, family or property because it is the states’ job and you can’t be trusted have any weapon because you might use it in some forbidden way such as posing a threat to the state or any person therein.
5. You must attend government schools to learn all the rules, the history and reason for the rules and the proper thoughts required to accept the rules.
6. The rules are relative and have no basis in law but can be changed at any time to adjust to political situations.
7. Anyone from anywhere should be able to come here, share in all of our benefits even if they can contribute nothing and may even be an enemy.
8. We have offended other countries in the past by being more successful, therefore we should apologize to them and make rules to reduce us to their level, which is only fair.
9. Thoughts that are not approved are evil, forbidden and expressing them deserves punishment.
10. Minorities are oppressed by the fact that they are fewer and therefore less powerful so the rules must be made to be in their favor so we will all be equal.
11. Goods must be produced to fill the needs of the people but no one should profit from doing so.
12. Everyone that does anything must do so in service to the state and any resistance to this requirement must be quashed.
