Believing the Big Lie of Socialism and Living It

 We have grave darkness in full daylight. The sunshine does not seem to sanitize the filth.

 The date of November 3, 2020 will remain in history as the   year when our Constitutional Republic died, and a government  ruled by technocrat billionaires and a corrupt globalist government was installed. A narrow majority of Americans brainwashed daily by a globalist mainstream media, finally elected to the White House a declared socialist and a radical Marxist.

Their Socialist Democrats have chewed and spat out the proverbial Republican elephant one “teaspoon at a time,” leaving a successful country in shock and the world in dismay.

An exceptional nation like the United States has finally fallen prey to the enemies within. No military external force was able to take it down in its 244 years of existence, but technology fraud and the corrupt media succeeded.

As Paul B. Skousen wrote on p. 45 in The Naked Socialist, “Barack Obama, with support from Nancy Pelosi in the House, Harry Reid in the Senate, and some 69 million American voters established a new order of elitist authority in the United States that will – like all other attempts at socialism – assuredly, predictably, and eventually collapse this nation into failure.”  

The last nail in America’s coffin was driven on November 3, 2020 by Socialist Democrat allies, the Deep State, MSM, and technocrat billionaires.

Had we not strayed from the nation’s founding principles of property rights, individual freedoms, and self-reliance, we would not have lost our country to the enemy within. 

The Supreme Court has re-interpretated our Constitution so many times, with no judicial restraint. The checks and balances are gone. Lawyers and judges, activists from the bench, served their own interests and the interests of those in power, disregarding laws and overruling the President at every turn.

European social welfare and social justice generously distributed by governments in the form of shorter work week, generous holidays and vacations, socialized health care, early retirement, full pensions, cradle-to-grave welfare for its citizens came to a painful reality check.

Socialist governments, supported by heavy taxation from citizens and corporations, paid for generous welfare but did not bother to pay for their financial responsibility in NATO. They disapproved when President Trump asked them to contribute their fair share of GDP to support defense alliances. They hated that and the “orange man” whom they marginalized and derided with every opportunity in the vilest ways. Just like the domestic ones, the European leftists lost any sense of propriety and decorum in their sheer hatred for individuals who hold divergent opinions.

Many Americans now want that kind of European socialist welfare in this country at the expense of government. The economically illiterate do not understand that such government largesse comes with heavy taxation of those who work and of [capitalist] corporations. The heavily taxed appear to be tired of carrying the burden for those who make a living from welfare dependency.

The European cycle of socialist welfare has reached what Paul B. Skousen calls “Ouroboros,” from the Greek “tail” (ouro) and “eating” (boros). “Socialism progresses like a snake eating its tail.”

Skousen, an exceptional teacher, researcher, and journalist, wrote that socialism is “government force to control and change society” and its foundation is “Ruler’s Law supporting seven pillars of control:

1.      All-powerful rulers.

2.      Society divided into castes or classes.

3.      All things in common.

4.      All things regulated.

5.      Compliance is forced.

6.      Control of information.

7.      No unalienable rights.”

Five days before his inauguration, former president Obama spoke about the “fundamental transformation of America.” We were chilled to the bone by those words and many did not understand its ominous meaning; in twelve short years they now understand, and that promise has been accomplished. It remains to be seen how they will adjust to living the Big Lie of socialism.

Our elected representatives and unelected Deep State were willing to sacrifice our country, our sovereignty, for a socialist country voted in with fraud, illegal votes from those crossing our “open borders,” for cheap illegal labor, and for political Socialist Democrat power in perpetuity and at any cost. We are a banana republic holding fake and fraudulent elections while people shrug their shoulders.

The mainstream media adores Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea, the new “shining cities on the hill” to emulate. Never mind that North Korea is dark at night on Google maps from lack of electricity. Never mind that Cuba oozes poverty and decay while Venezuela has a problem feeding its own people.

Why would millions of free Americans living in the best, wealthiest, most tolerant, and least racist country in the world, the envy of the entire planet, vote for a socialist man with obvious incipient dementia issues and a radical socialist who barely drew any crowds to their “rallies?” Why would such Americans ruin their own pockets and vote for someone who is going to destroy the economy, which despite Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns, has recovered and economic growth is good?

The mass media waged an indoctrination war for four years unlike any other, helped by our own government bureaucrats, academia, schools, Hollywood, social media platforms, and billionaire donors with large pockets, vilifying our President to the point that the uninformed voters not only believed the lies but actually hated Trump with so much vitriol that a new phrase was coined, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

How do you successfully brainwash millions of Americans who cast their votes for socialism as a better alternative for capitalism? How did they believe capitalists who have made their fortunes in the good ole entrepreneurial U.S.A. but are publicly advocating socialism?

The answer is many-fold:

-          isolation (lockdowns, face masks)

-          panic and fear of death (Covid-19)

-          indoctrination from priests and preachers

-          media-monopolized twisted perceptions of reality

-          weakened mental and physical ability to resist the daily lies despite what their eyes and rational minds may see and think

-          futility of resisting the Deep State in charge

-          habit of compliance to governors’ draconian executive orders

-          accepting false story lines woven by the media

-          believing the academia, public school teachers, and administrators

-          lack of historical knowledge of all countries that have disastrously suffered under the boot of socialism

-          believing bureaucrats and politicians who have been enriching themselves at the public trough for decades

-          but above all, believing that socialism will be “free stuff,” no more work, and “social justice” in the form of equal opportunities and equal outcomes by omnipotent government decree that can give everything as well as take it away.

Eric Blair, a socialist, wrote his novel 1984, describing his vision of living under oppressive socialism, an Orwellian society dominated by a repressive government and its Ministry of Truth. The title is curious and most do not really know why he chose the year 1984 – several suggestions were made by English professors. One such suggestion was that perhaps it was Blair’s disillusionment with the Fabian Socialists established in Britain in 1884.

Some Republicans today have expressed their opinion that America is now a Fabian socialist state. But we still have private property of land and mostly private means of production. Under socialism the central government owns the land, the means of production, and its distribution. Fabian socialists wanted to reorganize society by taking land and capital from individuals and giving it to the community to be equitably shared by the people who would pay a rent price for permission to use the earth. This is not unlike what some environmentalists today advocate.

Under the socialist government run by the Communist Party, the central committee ran everything, including the economy, while the community (the proletariat) owned nothing and had no demand for anything lest they went to jail. Their private properties and land were confiscated by the Communist Party when it came to power and given to those loyal to the party.

The irrational American Democrat voters who believe the Big Lie of socialism will hit a painful reality check wall when they will have to LIVE the Big Lie of socialism. It is easy to believe from the useful idiot perspective that socialism will be great because the radicals socialists they’ve followed for twelve years employed the century-old communist tactic, “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.” For now, the Democrat Socialists of America and their voters are basking in their hard-cheated win.

 

Capitalism is Oppressive, Give Us Free Socialism

“There is no such thing as a free lunch, someone has to pay for it.”

The American socialist politicians are promising their voting constituents through such figures as Barney Sanders, the politician from Vermont whose economic fortunes have improved drastically since he ran for president, and the socialist Cortez from the Bronx who, although she has a degree from a prestigious and very expensive school, does not know anything about Economics or geopolitics, by her own admission, and shows her lack of knowledge every time she opens her mouth.

But her ignorance does not stop her equally ignorant followers to support her generous promise of free rewards:  health care, higher education, child care, and housing. Who can resist the promise of Santa Clause?

Higher education is hardly worth the paper the diplomas are printed on when the majors are social justice, women’s studies, racial justice, and other community organizing subjects that the young American communists are “studying” in droves.

Cortez has no idea how she’s going to pay for everything free she promised but Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts proposes to nationalize private industry. She can’t let private property stand in the way of establishing a socialist nation where the means of production are owned by the state. https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/08/elizabeth-warren-plan-nationalize-everything-woos-hard-left/

In addition to the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” which afflicts millions of Democrat voters, statism has become the platform of the Democrat Party, which is now a very socialist version of its former self.

Ayn Rand defined statism as “collectivism, the belief that a man’s life and work belong to the state, to society, to the group, the gang, the race, the nation, and the state may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.” http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/statism.html

Fabian socialists like H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw would be very proud of our American youth today. Like their European counterparts, they want to reach the goals of socialism through political process and legislative bodies in order to avoid revolution or armed struggle.

Guns, after all, in the hands of ordinary citizens are dangerous, they must be disarmed. In their opinion, only the wise government should have arms. We can see how well that is working in Europe where citizens have nothing to defend themselves with against the Muslim invaders.

Europeans are not allowed free speech. If they try to speak against those who do them harm each day, they wind up in kangaroo courts and then given jail terms for hate speech.

Young American voters love the idea of a Fabian socialist welfare state in the vein of the European states that have such generous welfare and high taxes. Small European nations boast about higher college education rates. In addition to free tuition, they give monthly stipends to their studious populace that can take as long as six years to finish their bachelor’s degrees.

Who would not want to get paid to “study” for six years at the expense of taxpayers who foot the bill and willingly pay as much as 56% of their income so that their dwindling progeny can get a leisurely college degree?

Their Fabian socialism college graduates are now living in the formerly homogenous but now multiculturalist societal dream that is turning into a nightmare of their own making, caused by the tolerant admittance into their midst of endless economic refugees from Africa and the Middle East, refugees who refuse to integrate and are creating violent chaos across Europe.

What a great model to emulate here in the United States! After all, the Democrats and some Republicans alike have deemed that we are not diverse and tolerant enough; we must be forced with the help of the tin pot dictators at the U.N. into population social engineering submission.

So what is free under socialism in general that is worth having? In the true socialism society I grew up in, education was free until you decided to move to another country and then you had to pay back all the education you received. The state explained that someone else, i.e. the evil capitalists, was going to benefit from the stellar education you received.

Colleges had a limited amount of seats at each university and the competition was fierce. Only a very small percentage of the high school graduates made it to college. And there were no private colleges allowed. The rest had to study in a trade school or find a job working for the state in a menial proletarian job.

Just because you had the best of grades and higher education was free, it did not necessarily mean that you got in. The children of Communist Party members in good standing were admitted first, no question asked and no exams were necessary. The remaining seats were given to the candidates with the highest scores on various college entrance exams.

Some parents chose to bribe the committee members and their children had secondary dibs. Eventually, the best, the brightest, and most studious competed and were ranked for the remaining seats.

Child care and kindergarten were free too, but the seats were limited, much less than the number of children and there was a pecking order which placed the children of the proletariat last.

Health care was also free but it was hardly worth the poor services provided. The wait was long, the surgeons marginally qualified, and the drugs needed to care for the sick were missing from pharmacies due to the ignorant central planning by the Communist Party.

Housing was not free, the proletariat had to pay what the statists decided and it was Spartan and very small in large concrete block apartments without elevators. The exception was nine-story or higher buildings in which elevators were found but broken most of the time. The upside was that people were forced to walk and climb a lot and had good cardio workout and nobody was fat.

Aside from the “freebees” I mentioned, nothing else was free and there was no free speech allowed. You could choose to speak freely but then you were quickly disappeared, never to be seen again.

European Fabian socialists don’t exactly live in the lap of luxury either. Apartment residents are often multi-generational, sharing the same space with mom, dad, siblings, grandma, and grandpa. And apartment renting rights are passed on from generation to generation in a will. Owning a home or a condo is quite expensive and the waiting lists for government housing are quite long.

This is the paradise pure socialism and Fabian socialism bring. Perhaps Cortez, the Latina from the Bronx, should spend some time in Venezuela to experience on her own spoiled capitalist skin what socialism brings to a formerly wealthy country.
