Why Liberalism Must Be Expunged.

[EvilCat Breath]

You guys are aware that: Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Quote Wikiipedia.
So you are telling me you are against equality and liberty?

Liberty and equality cannot coexist.

What if everyone starts off with the same amount of money?


“…. by the end of the first year, some people will have more than others. Guaranteed. Some people, you see, will be careful with what they have. Others won’t. Some people will gamble, others will save. Some will spend lavishly, others will be frugal.

Besides that, some people simply have more of the kind of wealth that can’t be redistributed. Intelligence; education; ambition. Drive, as opposed to: aw, we’re gonna get what we’re gonna get anyway, so let’s just stay on the couch and watch TV. Some people will put a little giddy-up in their get-alongs, and will find ways to improve their own lives.

Some of that will be “unfair,” because some people have more and better resources to tap. Intelligence; talent; family. Even accounting for such differences, though: some people will turn what they have into more, while others will not. Therefore, by the end of the very first year (not to mention the first five or ten) “haves” and “have-nots” will appear.

I know what you’re thinking. Crap. I thought we had it this time. Fairness! And this return to economic inequity will happen, I daresay, even under the strictest Communist policies.

I’ll come back to that.

After ten, twenty, thirty years, those discrepancies will widen. A middle class will form. An upper economic class, and a lower economic class. These classes will not be dead ends: people will be able to move from one to another and back again. But they’ll reappear, despite the original, radical redistribution of wealth.

So: let’s take this exercise further. Rather than a one-time redistribution of wealth, let’s redistribute every year. Every April 23 – Michael Moore’s birthday – all wealth is redistributed. All wages set by Central Command. Everyone is as equal as it’s possible to make them. Even individual advantages are nullified.

Not really, but we’ll come back to that, too.

Obviously, that system does away with any incentive to create. It removes any incentive to save; to be frugal; to work hard. Because no matter what you do, what you get is predetermined.

And yet, by April 22 of the following year, some people will still have more than others. And they’ll keep it.

How can that be? Simple. Even state-enforced economic “equality” did not – cannot – make everyone “equal.” It can only change the attributes that are most important to getting ahead.

Sucking up to your superiors becomes more important than working hard. Figuring out which bureaucrats can do the most for you, and ingratiating yourself to them.

Using the power of government to get you ahead, instead of creating, making, building, selling. Improving technical or academic skills? What for? Improving political skills. That’s what makes a difference.

You may recognize a little of our current system there. More and more, becoming a “have” in our society requires entering the bureaucracy, or getting the bureaucracy on your side.

Even the hard working entrepreneurs and innovators among us increasingly need the bureaucracy’s help. Vast mazes of regulations give bureaucracies vast power over both you and your competitors. Government can make or break an industry. Make or break a company. It can increase the cost of entry beyond plausibility, or it can make that cost go away.

In the free market, wealth comes from work. The closer we move toward socialism, the more wealth comes from power. That’s the difference. The similarity: wealth still exists in relatively few hands.”

Chic makes a good case that liberalism is more concerned about people, and conservatives more about money and status.

liberals don't give a shit about people. They don't give a crap about Americans having a good paying job, obviously. Why else would they want to import millions of Mexicans willing to work for nothing?

Immigration is allowed by both parties, the Democrats for future voters and the conservatives for cheap labor. There also may be a recognition by many, that in the past one of their ancestors did the immigrant bit, and worked for nothing.

^ that bripat you knee jerk, rw'er

 

[Dot Com]

The "they" in this case being business people who are by and large conservatives of the money grubber variety.

Bripat is either dumb or disingenuous. Prolly both.

Liberty and equality cannot coexist.

Says who? To have the liberty to spend and make of your life the most? And getting more or less equal terms in education etc.?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

There are lots of places where you wouldn't have to bother with that pesky US Constitution. Those same places steal from the poor and give to the rich - another big plus for RWNJ traitors.

Face facts - if you dumb dupes stay in the US, libs will continue to fight for the constitution and for equality.

Here is a rule which is the hermeneutical key to understanding how the Left differs, in a most deleterious way, from the right:

The Left does not value prosperity....it values equality.



1. Every Leftist is, essentially, a Marxist…even though most eschew the title since the fall of the Soviet Union. Even so, Left-wing ideas are predicated on Marx’s materialist view. Philosophically, the term implies that only material things are real.

The Left’s concept of materialism broadens into the overarching desire to see every individual materially equal. The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it, and has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.

Leftists believe that an end to social and economic inequality and one will have Utopia! Dennis Prager, ”Still The Best Hope”



2. Claims of 'racism' are linked to demands for increased minimum wage laws by this view of the world.
No matter that it has been tried, and not only failed, failed miserably, but resulted in well over 100 million human beings slaughtered.




3. And, more bad news for the Left from the LA Times:
"Leaving for Las Vegas: California's minimum wage law leaves businesses no choice

California’s minimum wage jumped to $10.50 an hour at the start of the new year. As the founder of a small fashion design house and clothing manufacturer in San Fernando, I’m not a disinterested observer in this change.

After two years in business, my company now has more than 150 clients from all over the world and 18 employees. It’s what’s known as a cut-and-sew house, part of the garment industry that generates about $17 billion in annual economic activity in Los Angeles County, including $6.9 billion in payroll, according to a 2016 industry report by the California Fashion Assn. This is the epicenter of apparel design and manufacturing in the United States; domestically manufactured clothing is more expensive, but retail and wholesale customers who care about quality and working conditions have historically been willing to pay for it.

Unfortunately, the industry is on a downward trend. Los Angeles County used to have more than 5,000 apparel factories; today, my company is one of roughly 2,000 — and many (e.g. American Apparel) are looking for a way out. One Los Angeles Times headline, quoting a California State University economist, warned that “the exodus has begun."


If not for the $15 minimum wage, I’d have zero interest in leaving California."
Leaving for Las Vegas: California's minimum wage law leaves businesses no choice



Did I mention that the Left does not value prosperity....it values equality.

Think about that.

Generation after generation, liberalism wins. Liberalism is progress and progress has proven inevitable.

You don't think so? Try to bring back segregation, or take away a woman's right to vote, or end Social Security, or bring back child labor, or kick gays out of the military or deny them marriage equality.

You can't win, conservatives. All you can do is slow things down temporarily.

You are like the rear guard defense of a perpetually retreating army.

Spot on.

If it had been up to conservatives, there would be no USA and we would still be speaking with a British accent.

No. The "they" is leftwingers who are constantly lobbying for open borders. The "big business" people you refer to are mostly Democrats, like Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos and Sergey Brin. These people all live in Lilly white communities with big walls and fences surrounding them.

They are perfect liberals - major hypocrites, that is.

Says logic, numskull. People can only be made equal by force.

Thank you for getting this bullshit line into the conversation so early.

Conservatives gave women the right to vote before anyone else.

Social Security has not been secure for decades. Child labor is due to conservatives...???? ROTFLMAO.

I'm a very ex-liberal who left the Democrap party when Obama turned it into America's most black-supremacist hate group, whose only language is violence, death-threats and a diet of muslim semen. I have never seen more loathsome, bloodthirsty, America-hating, violently white-hating treason than these unhinged, clinically psychotic liberal filth (YES, God help me, I find their behavior even WORSE than the muslim inbreds they fellate). Utterly the most malicious, predatory testaments to everything mankind has ever done wrong. Liberals are also the ultimate Neo-Nazis who spread their butt cheeks for the most praised-by-Hitler, mass-Jew-beheading hate ideology in history; muslims have been massacring Jews since their pedo-prophet Mohammed bragged about beheading 600 Jewish prisoners in one day. Liberals are so morally degenerate, I've never seen a group of people go through so many mental gymnastics to jusify all the rape, murder and human rights atrocities that form a wake around this religion everywhere it has ever gone! And liberals' psychopath obsession of destroying anyone who doesn't go along with their treason.

Ah these uppity nixxers once married, nice family.
Much prefer a 3 times married, drag your wife by the hair before rapimg her, vagina bragger/grabber.
