What Makes Socialism So Attractive?

Demand creates jobs.

When people need something, and somebody else knows how to meet that need, a job exists. Billionaires don't come into that equation.

Soooo.....lots of poor folks are hiring?



Here?

Gads, you're a dunce.

he doesn't get that the guys with the mobile phones idea created soooooo many jobs for sooo many years that they'd lose their minds knowing that number. it's almost in the hundreds of million number. Amazon wouldn't exist without it.

How about those guys with the cars?

Barron Trump is probably a multi-millionaire, how many jobs has he created?

when he's old enough to share his talents, one doesn't know yet. But he has the capital to invest in any idea a friend might have and create jobs off that idea. you still don't even understand you loser. you're so lost in your hate, your head suffers.

Just don't tell the race is fair if some get to start the race at the finish line.

It is truly astounding how you never manage to be correct.

You must be a Democrat, huh?

"In the Millionaire Next Door," Stanley and Danko tell us that "most of America's millionaires are first-generation rich." They earned their money themselves. Not through inheritances or dad's teachings. "Most people who become millionaires have confidence in their own abilities. They do not spend time worrying about whether or not their parents were wealthy."

The Decline of Inherited Money

Most of America's millionaires are first-generation rich. How is it possible for people from modest backgrounds to become millionaires in one generation? Why is it that so many people with similar socioeconomic backgrounds never accumulate even modest amounts of wealth?

Most of America's millionaires are first-generation rich. How is it possible for people from modest backgrounds to become millionaires in one generation? Why is it that so many people with similar socioeconomic backgrounds never accumulate even modest amounts of wealth?


Most people who become millionaires have confidence in their own abilities. They do not spend time worrying about whether or not their parents were wealthy. They do not believe that one must be born wealthy. Conversely, people of modest backgrounds who believe that only the wealthy produce millionaires are predetermined to remain non-affluent. Have you always thought that most millionaires are born with silver spoons in their mouths? If so, consider the following facts that our research uncovered about American millionaires:


* Only 19 percent receive any income or wealth of any kind from a trust fund or an estate.


* Fewer than 20 percent inherited 10 percent or more of their wealth.


* More than half never received as much as $1 in inheritance.


* Fewer than 25 percent ever received "an act of kindness" of $10,000 or more from their parents, grandparents, or other relatives.


* Ninety-one percent never received, as a gift, as much as $1 of the ownership of a family business.


* Nearly half never received any college tuition from their parents or other relatives.


* Fewer than 10 percent believe they will ever receive an inheritance in the future.


America continues to hold great prospects for those who wish to accumulate wealth in one generation. In fact, America has always been a land of opportunity for those who believe in the fluid nature of our nation's social system and economy.


More than one hundred years ago the same was true. In The American Economy, Stanley Lebergott reviews a study conducted in 1892 of the 4,047 American millionaires. He reports that 84 percent "were nouveau riche, having reached the top without the benefit of inherited wealth."

when you can't debate, you've lost the debate. what the fk does your comment mean? born equal is just that, all opportunities that come your way are yours and yours to deal with. it's immaterial what the opportunities are. It's how you handle them. Should I be pissed because a football QB makes 100 million or a pitcher on a baseball team? No, I was never going to have that talent, I recognized it and chose the correct path for me. That's the opportunities within my abilities. One should look to make and identify their abilities first. Some time hard work gets a management position even without the paperwork from a college. how is that possible, you may ask yourself. that's a fact.

7. In the headlong effort to create their earthly Utopia, the common result is that they simply become what they claim to hate.



“The Communists carried out a land reform, confiscating land which had hitherto been owned by a small number of landlords and redistributing it equally among the peasants. In Six Household Village the peasants at first refused to take Jin Ting-quan’s land, even though he had now been arrested. Although he was under guard, they bowed and scraped to him. My father visited many peasant families, and gradually learned the horrible truth about him. The Chaoyang government sentenced Jin to death by shooting, but the family of the man who had been burned to death, with the support of the families of other victims, determined to kill him the same way. As the flames began to lick around his body Jin clenched his teeth, and did not utter even a moan until the moment the fire surrounded his heart. The Communist officials sent to carry out the execution did not prevent the villagers from doing this. Although the Communists were opposed to torture in theory and on principle, officials were told that they should not intervene if the peasants wished to vent their anger in passionate acts of revenge. People such as Jin were not just wealthy owners of land, but had wielded absolute and arbitrary power, which they indulged willfully, over the lives of the local population. They were called e-ba (“ferocious despots”).” Op. Cit.



After all, you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs…..



8. A brave new world, based on murder and terror. Yet, because it is new, revolutionary, it is considered better than the earlier traditions…

…compared to this:

"This is the great contribution of our Judeo-Christian foundation to Western civilization. The principles of justice are laid down in the Torah and the Gospels, and implemented through human actions memorialized in judicial codes.

The written laws and rules are codifications of the unwritten ones worked out over millennia as the result of human interactions and experience."

You're good at manipulating numbers but the people you list don't earn a million a year, they've acquired a million over their lifetimes. Not the same thing. Inflation will make us all 'millionaires' eventually.

9. All the passion of Bernie's wanna-be-radicals is for naught.

Yearning to break with the past, with tradition, with societal hierarchies, to be different, all that happens is that a far more oppressive set of rules are put in place….often with fatal results for those who don’t obey the new orthodoxy.

The author of "Wild Swans" senses how the new, really, isn’t less restrictive than the past…


“After hearing each other’s frank accounts of their past lives, my father said he was going to write to the Jinzhou City Party Committee asking for permission to “talk about love” (tan-nian-ai) with my mother, with a view to marriage. This was the obligatory procedure. My mother supposed it was a bit like asking permission from the head of the family, and in fact that is exactly what it was: the Communist Party was the new patriarch.”



The Women’s Federation was now my mother’s “work unit” (danwei), an institution wholly under the control of the Party, to which everyone in the urban areas had to belong and which regulated virtually every aspect of an employee’s life like in an army. My mother was supposed to live on the premises of the Federation, and had to obtain its permission to marry.



There was no wedding ceremony of any kind, only a small gathering. …. telling her mother that her bridegroom had had to go back to work: “It is not the Communist custom to give people leave for a wedding. In fact, I am about to go back to work myself.” My grandmother thought that the offhand way in which the Communists treated a big thing like a wedding was absolutely extraordinary, but they had broken so many rules relating to traditional values, maybe this was just one more. “







This was the new “freedom.” This is what you Democrats are signing up for.



Someone should warn the Democrat voters, educate ‘em!



Oh…wait…..isn’t what school is for?????

 

[PoliticalChic]

10. And Mao's Chinese Communism looks astoundingly similar to the Liberal/Progressive version instituted in America, where the claim is that men can become women, and all sorts of attacks on tradition and morality.


“On that day my mother wrapped up her bedroll and her clothes and got ready to move into my father’s quarters. She wore her favorite pale-blue gown and a pale- blue silk scarf. My grandmother was appalled. It was unheard of for a bride to walk to the bridegroom’s house. The man had to get a sedan chair to carry her over. For a woman to walk was a sign that she was worthless and that the man did not really want her. “Who cares about all that stuff now?” said my mother as she tied up her bedroll. …my mother regarded a traditional ceremony as old fashioned and redundant. Both she and my father wanted to get rid of rituals like that, which they felt had nothing to do with their feelings. Love was the only thing that mattered to these two revolutionaries.”


I can’t get over how this echoes those avant garde rebels, those bohemians in our society who are simply so advanced over the rubes when they simply live together, ‘cause, you know, that that marriage thing is so five-minutes-ago when ‘you’re in love.’


If only the Chinese communists could have anticipated what happed to “30 to 80 million victims through starvation, persecution, prison labour and mass executions (Google)” of Chinese who went along with the program….

[Who Killed More: Hitler, Stalin, or Mao?]



Someone should tell that to the masses of Democrats who went to government school, and were taught to embrace Militant Secularism.

 

[regent]

Does no one remember how nappy Americans were before FDR began the Social Security program? Now we are a communist nation, as Republicans so rightly predicted in 1935. Many of us Democrats could not believe America would go communistic because of one program, but there we have it.

 

[froggy]

Especially to the young?

Why are the young so enamored with Socialism/Communism/Liberalism?
It may not be what seems to be the answer, free stuff.

The Answer may be something inherent to the human condition: a desire to be unique, and independent, and to make your own rules, and not have to answer to anyone else.



1.When Albert Camus wrote “The Rebel,” he put his finger on an aspect of human nature that most of us have, more so as youth, but, still, throughout our lives. We yearn to stand out, to be different, …we see it when the prettiest girl runs off with the ‘bad boy,’ or when the wild haired radical is the one everyone is talking about. True, family, and the desire for success often smooths the edges off, moderates how ‘different’ one chooses to be, and sometimes, later on, when we’ve given up most of that rebellion, we might come to resent those who actually carry it off…..but in our youth, we have it.

It’s all about the degree and desire to rebel.

2. Freud claimed he could document and explain that need to rebel, relating it to a biological phenomenon…. “The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes” The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes

But whether it is psychological or biological…….it appears, most significantly, to be political.




3. A tip of the hat to Freud: there is no disputing the desire to stop taking orders from parents. OK. But it grows, in many, to the desire to not have to show respect, take orders from, or to mirror the style and tradition of an older, more successful generation. Perhaps the claim that socialists/communists are all about greed, to take from the successful without the work that went into that success...’You didn’t build that!’ …isn’t just to get the material things…


........it’s the psychological reward of rebellion.


Perhaps the rebel wants to gain that success by a different path, one that doesn’t require looking like, sounding like, and behaving like, our elders, that explains the 50% of Democrats who are socialists. Enter Bernie Sanders, stage Left.




Now…..get this, the fly in their ointment:

The problem for those rebels is that they have given up the intellect and the education that reveals what Socialism, Communism, Progressivism produces for societies, always:

....serfs, slaves….or corpses.

They let you dance when you get there

11. If we all have that inborn desire for freedom, for independence, and, as Freud suggested, it shows up early on as rebelling against parents and other authority figures, then the promise of ‘equality’ with any authority figure is an attractive aspect of communism, and Leftism in general, ….but the recruits are in dire need of an understanding of the results of how empty the promises are.


“She was also sniped at for visiting a prisoner, Hui-ge, without asking for permission from the Federation first. Nobody had told her she was supposed to do this. The Federation said that they had not stopped her before because they made allowances for someone who was “new to the revolution”; they were waiting to see how long it would take her to reach her own sense of discipline and ask the Party for instructions. “But what are the things for which I need to apply for instructions?” she asked. “Anything,” was the answer.


The need to obtain authorization for an unspecified “anything” was to become a fundamental element in Chinese Communist rule. It also meant that people learned not to take any action on their own initiative.


My mother felt surrounded by accusing fingers, and that the people who were supposed to be her comrades in a glorious new and liberating movement were questioning her character and her commitment, for which she had risked her life. She was even criticized for having left the meeting of the Women’s Federation to go and get married—a sin termed “putting love first.” My mother said that the city chief had asked her to go. To this the chairwoman retorted: “But it was up to you to show your correct attitude by putting the meeting first.” Just eighteen, recently married, and full of hope for a new life, my mother felt miserably confused and isolated. She had always trusted her own strong sense of right and wrong, but this now seemed to be in conflict with the views of her “cause” and, often, the judgment of her husband, whom she loved. She began to doubt herself for the first time.”
Chang, “Wild Swans”







There really are no more oppressive political regimes than those of the Left.



It’s been said that Liberal/Progressive governance has only two modes: banning or mandating.

Especially to the young?

Why are the young so enamored with Socialism/Communism/Liberalism?
It may not be what seems to be the answer, free stuff.

The Answer may be something inherent to the human condition: a desire to be unique, and independent, and to make your own rules, and not have to answer to anyone else.



1.When Albert Camus wrote “The Rebel,” he put his finger on an aspect of human nature that most of us have, more so as youth, but, still, throughout our lives. We yearn to stand out, to be different, …we see it when the prettiest girl runs off with the ‘bad boy,’ or when the wild haired radical is the one everyone is talking about. True, family, and the desire for success often smooths the edges off, moderates how ‘different’ one chooses to be, and sometimes, later on, when we’ve given up most of that rebellion, we might come to resent those who actually carry it off…..but in our youth, we have it.

It’s all about the degree and desire to rebel.

2. Freud claimed he could document and explain that need to rebel, relating it to a biological phenomenon…. “The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes” The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes

But whether it is psychological or biological…….it appears, most significantly, to be political.




3. A tip of the hat to Freud: there is no disputing the desire to stop taking orders from parents. OK. But it grows, in many, to the desire to not have to show respect, take orders from, or to mirror the style and tradition of an older, more successful generation. Perhaps the claim that socialists/communists are all about greed, to take from the successful without the work that went into that success...’You didn’t build that!’ …isn’t just to get the material things…


........it’s the psychological reward of rebellion.


Perhaps the rebel wants to gain that success by a different path, one that doesn’t require looking like, sounding like, and behaving like, our elders, that explains the 50% of Democrats who are socialists. Enter Bernie Sanders, stage Left.




Now…..get this, the fly in their ointment:

The problem for those rebels is that they have given up the intellect and the education that reveals what Socialism, Communism, Progressivism produces for societies, always:

....serfs, slaves….or corpses.

They let you dance when you get there

If you imagine that that made any sense, you must be sitting in an Ojibwe sweat lodge, on peyote.

You know it. Lol

Donald Trump's fascism makes socialism attractive.

"Fascism puts nation and often race above the individual. It stands for a centralized government headed by a dictator."
