We do not teach the theories of Nazism in our universities, we do not teach White Supremacy in our universities, we do not advocate the virtues of Genocide either. So why do we continue to teach a failed and murderous political theory such as Marxism? Is it some romantic hold over for a relationship lost in the past? That, some how Marxism is ok? Like a long lost love affair we hope will re -ignite?
The first instance of Socialism in the New World occured in Plymouth. It was an admirable attempt to level the playing field. For years, Social injustice had existed in England and now, there was a chance for all socio-economic levels to be fair and equal here in this New England. It was almost the end of the Plymouth Plantation. No one worked, there was no incentive to gain and prosper and trade. It took the Savages to show them how to plant, hunt and create a system of barter where goods and services were exchanged for the mutual benefit of the provider and the consumer. Capitalism was born in the colonies and the profits were relished in that first Thanksgiving.
This series is an attempt to understand where our nation is today with regard to the demise of Liberty. Over the past year I have had the chance to speak with individuals, read and come to know the Socialist trend that has been in place since the early part of the 20th Century. I am taking a "common man's" view in my writing. It is, after all, the common man that Socialism claims to represent. I am perplexed, then, when I am disregarded by intellectuals who are experts in the history and applications of Social Justice as not knowing what I am talking about. Just who are these people anyway?
Liberal Socialists are always the first to make exceptions. It is one of the key elements that makes the theory work. Apply a restriction in one case, disengage it in another case. Government has no right to tell a woman what she can do with her body with regards to the unborn, but Government has every right to tell her she cannot drink, smoke, do drugs or engage in prostitution or that same child will be removed from her custody. The nation must swallow the Un Constitutional Healthcare plan, but the Legislators still get to keep their own plans. Violations of the Fourth Amendment are routinely practised against citizens at airports except for Muslims because that is racial profiling. School children cannot have a Christmas tree in the school foyer, it is a violation of Church and State (no where in the Constitution) yet must learn all about Hannukah, Kwansa and other ethnic Holiday traditions. Everything must be neutral so as not to offend. What is not realized the biggest offense is neutrality itself.
The irony lies in the total power of the Central Government. If they become the overlords of everything, then they are responsible for everything. If they succeed at everything then they are the winners and will further deprive the masses of more Liberty. If they fail, as many Governments are, then who is to blame? It is us who is to blame for allowing it to progress staight off a cliff.
Still, the inevitable failure of Socialism has a silver lining for the Socialist. Failure demands an ever widenning, expanded oppression and perversion of the Law..
....And That Is The Diatribe....
