A question on politics
Posted by coaldigger 7 years ago to Politics
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.

Each of us has one short span of existence, most will not leave a trace of ever having been here and some will leave a mark that will last for a long time. The amount of wealth a person accumulates is meaningless compared to living to the fullest and maximizing our enjoyment of life. It matters little what we accomplished or leave undone as long as the process provides enjoyment. Relationships with each other, production of goods and services, art, music, literature, all the things that use the mind that makes us unique among the species is where satisfaction is found. Wealth is just the accumulation of a symbol for production that be exchanged for the production of others, hoarding it makes no sense. When all goes dark, the time spent stealing it from others will be nothing but time wasted.
That is the purpose of the rules.
"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against—then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it.
You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of law-breakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."
Me dino just watched as much as I could stand (boring so I didn't bring it) video about (gets away with it because it's not 1955) Bolshevik Bernie versus (gets away with it because he's a MeToo Dem) Groper Joe Biden during a 2020 primary.
Just imagine the shorted-out brain cell count for listening to them debate. .
