Understanding The Revolution….

[Clementine]

….and why it was doomed to failure. And…..why the same applies to Liberalism.
Succinctly put:
It is based on a lack of understanding of human nature.



1.In many ways, the modern Liberal movement is a shadow, a microcosm, of the origins of socialism, the sort of ‘can’t we all just get along’ movements of the communes of the 60s, and, the earlier Bolshevik Revolution. The flower children, who grew up to be our Liberal elites, never learned that the communes of the 19th century all failed.
All of 'em.

Why?

Because they mis-valued human nature, and absurdly claimed that it could be changed by their sort of ‘equality.’




2. “By the late 19th century, many socialists were aware of the problem of communes.” Tom Bethell.

Instead of relying on the goodness of humans under anarchy, that everyone would work 'to their ability,' for everyone else, the problem with the communes, and with the Liberal welfare system, the new socialists plan was control from the center, central planning, the compulsory organization of society.

“The shortage of virtue that had disabled communes would be remedied by force. Everyone would be obliged to obey the plan and the state would assume omnipotence.” Ibid.

Bakers would be forced to bake any cake the state desired them to. See what I did there?




3. Note the subtle alteration: the original socialist view was that everyone would see the light, and human nature would change to that of angels,….but when that didn’t pan out, now, a handful of wise and virtuous…..like the Clintons…..would direct everyone.

The French Revolution chopped off head.
The Bolshevik Revolution had gulags and concentration camps.
The modern American Liberals ridicule, censor, close down businesses, depriving the recalcitrant of their livelihood.


Every form of the above revolutions was an attempt to 'fundamentally change' society.That applies to communism, socialism, Liberalism, Nazism, fascism, or Progressivism.


A change from this: free markets, individualism, and limited constitutional government.

Today's leftists use the same language as Hitler and other dictators. It's all a ruse. Sure, some of the indoctrinated robots believe it's all about benevolence but it's not.

It's about the endgame, which is a global government that dictates to all. Hillary was open about her desire for a one world government during her speeches to Wall Street execs. The media largely ignored it.

The leftists cannot be honest about their true intentions or even the most militant liberals would turn on them.

They use the same tactics of promoting their ideas as the only solution to our problems, which they falsely blame on capitalism. It's the liberal nanny state that has produced the desperate underclass of people who go through life angry at some nameless, faceless people they deem responsible for the woes.

The poor, especially minorities, should be angry at the left for creating the great society that encouraged government dependence and rendered too many people unable to ever chase the American dream. The left would have them believe that the American dream is nothing but a myth. They say only white wealthy people can achieve it. The left keeps people down by conditioning them to feel entitled and by dumbing down our youth by failing to allow history and other skills to be taught in school. The main objective of schools now is to turn our youth against the constitution by claiming it's racist, greedy, outdated, etc...

They teach them that opposing socialism is racist. That covers everything from wealth redistribution to open borders. Say anything against the left and prepare to be impugned by politicians and a willing media.

modern Liberalism is based on abolition of private property.

Even for your distorted view of reality that is unusually bizarre. Every society limits property rights because they must, I don't want my neighbor building a nuclear reactor. Only an extremist would equate limits with abolition.

Saying that because Marxism believes something then liberals also believe it is a dishonest guilt-by-association smear.

 

[The Original Tree]

I often call The Democrat Party,

"The Children of The British Loyalists."

I call them this because this is the very roots of their party.
Their platform and policies are the very thing we fought against The British Empire and King George for.
Nothing they stand for and nothing they have to offer is good for America nor for the advancement of personal freedoms and liberties, Natural Law and our God Given Rights.

they don't abolish the first amendment because of public safety right?

No, they just limit it. You can't yell fire in a theater.

 

[alang1216]

Maybe they'd believe you if half the retards at that protest weren't waving signs that said something to the effect of "Abolish the second amendment."

I don't think "Abolish the second amendment" is the same thing as wanting to ban all guns. At least it isn't for me. Owning a car isn't a constitutional right yet there were an estimated 263.6 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States in 2015.

what does it mean then?

It means "We want to take away everything that guarantees you the ability to own a firearm, but we won't from there take your firearms. We promise. "

It means that when people get angry enough they are capable of anything. Trees that bend don't break when the wind changes.

Bogus.

Do you vote Democrat?

I've never voted for anyone who wanted to ban all guns.

did you vote for a democrat? if so, then you did.

I vote in Virginia. Which VA Dems want to ban all guns? Links please.

Manchin

Wrong Virginia but you picked a poor example:

In 2012 Manchin's candidacy was endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), which gave him an "A" rating.[90] Following the Sandy Hook shooting, Manchin partnered with Republican Senator Pat Toomey to introduce a bill that would have strengthened background checks on gun sales. Though the legislation never acquired enough votes to win Senate passage, the NRA targeted him in an attack ad.[91][92][93]​

Sorry but strengthened background checks on gun sales is not a ban.

Valiant efforts were made during the 1800s to find a socio-economic model to benefit the greatest number of citizens.
A number of communes were created, all based on the flawed principle of '"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" .....

.....and every one failed.

Sloth, indolence, greed and self-aggrandizement always sunk the endeavor.





9. Robert Owen was a wealthy proponent of socialism, communism, and communes, who wrote, in the early 19th century, a view that was supported in Soviet Russia, and has become the modern Liberal/ Democrat platform:

The abolition of private property, religion, and marriage.

The Democrat Party actually booed ‘God’ at their convention, formed a welfare system that made single motherhood profitable, and instituted the idea of separating religion from the public arena.





10. In a modern sort of ‘revolution,’ an anti-Soviet sort, Trump’s resistance to the EPA is putting private ownership back where it belongs.

“Pruitt to restrict the use of data to craft EPA regulations”

11.The three aims of Leftism have always been the abolition of private property, of religion, and of marriage.




a.As a method of ending private ownership, on May 1,1918 inheritance was outlawed in Bolshevik Russia.

And this 'coincidence'......
b."Obama Set To Propose Taxes On Capital Gains, Inheritance, And Wall Street"

And this 'coincidence'.....

"Government control of private sector activity...is aptly described as Bolshevik- or Marxist, socialist, collectivist, statist, or, for that matter, fascist, too.Indeed, nationalized health care was one of the first programs enacted by the Bolsheviks after they seized power in 1917(Banks, insurance companies and means of communications were also taken over by Soviet authorities immediately."
Dziewanowski, "A History of Soviet Russia," p. 107.


They didn't call it ObamaCare....





But they never gave up......

12. Alexander Trachtenberg... longtime activist in the Socialist Party of America and later in the Communist Party USA....

“When we get ready to take the United States, we will not take it under the label of communism; we will not take it under the label socialism. These labels are unpleasant to the American people, and have been speared too much. We will take the United States under labels we have made very lovable; we will take it under liberalism, under progressivism, under democracy. But, take it we will.”
~ Alexander Trachtenberg, at the National Convention of Communist Parties, Madison Square Garden, 1944
Trachtenberg worked tirelessly to gain a strangle hold on the culture....and to hide terms like Communist and Socialist.



That's your Democrat Party.

"It is a great irony of communism that those who did not believe in God believed that godlike knowledge could be concentrated at a central point. It was believed that government could be omnipotent and omniscient. And in order to justify the idea that all lives should be determined by a single plan, the concomitant tendency of communist regimes was to deify the leader- whether Lenin, Stalin, Mao, or Kim Il-sung."
Tom Bethell, "The Noblest Triumph," p. 144
