Ch 14.14 - Socialism
"If you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of." - Unknown
a. Groupthink
---------------------------
I’ve often wondered why liberals are referred to as the left and conservatives as the right. Then I found this Bible verse:
" A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left." - Ecclesiastes 10:2 KJV
"The dominant characteristic here is remaining loyal to the group – even when the policy is working badly and its consequences disturb the conscience of members. Loyalty to the group becomes the highest form of morality. That loyalty requires each member to avoid raising controversial issues, questioning weak arguments, or calling a halt to wishful thinking." - Unknown
"When 51% of the deer decide to move they all go.” - Unknown
"All I'm saying is that the difference between humans and animals is that animals would never allow the dumbest of the herd to lead them." - Unknown
"I think the 'locusts' in the book of Revelation wasn't the insect. It's liberals/democrats/progressives. Everything they touch is destroyed." - Unknown
"Sub-humans are attempting to devolve humanity into the animal kingdom, specifically the spirit-less, soul-less insect kingdom. Only by awakening to this battle plan can the war be won. It takes a great stride of humanity to see this evil because humans do not 'think' this way and generally cannot conceive of such evil being created by other humans. But it is not humans who have created and implemented this de-evolution, it is the semblance of human-like beings who wage this war." - Rudolf Steiner, The Locust People
"Hive-Mind does not think. Hive-Mind Feels. And Believes. And Belongs. And Follows. And is Brave. Information not blessed by the Hive-Lords is Not-Hive. Not-Hive is Enemy. Must... Destroy... Enemy. We already have a word for followers of Hive-Mind. They are called Insects." - Unknown
b. Bureaucracy
---------------------------
bu·reau·crat - noun - an official in a government department, particularly one concerned with procedural correctness at the expense of people's needs. Originating from the French word bureau, meaning desk, and the Greek word kratos, meaning rule. Literally, to rule from a desk.
"The Bureaucrat's credo - I cause change; therefore, I am." - Unknown
"Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy." – Kafka
"What Kafka got right is everyone's super-busy but nothing gets done. In Kafka's novel The Castle, the bureaucracy toiling unseen in the Castle is bustling 24/7, but nothing actually gets done in the impoverished village below. Attempts to reach the bureaucracy by phone are futile, as calls are only picked up randomly or as pranks." - Unknown
“In a fully developed bureaucracy there is nobody left with whom one can argue, to whom one can present grievances, on whom the pressures of power can be exerted. Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of political freedom, of the power to act; for the rule by Nobody is not no-rule, and where all are equally powerless, we have a tyranny without a tyrant.” - Hannah Arendt, On Violence
“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.” - Ludwig von Mises
“the middle of the road leads to socialism. It is, of course, true that this type of socialism preserves some of the labels and the outward appearance of capitalism ... however, nothing counts but the government’s unrestricted autocracy.” - Ludwig von Mises
Conservative values build empires / Liberal values destroy empires
“Leftism might actually be noble if their concern for the marginalized wasn’t simply an incidental externality to their seething hatred of the normal and the good.” - David Pivtorak on “X”
"Envy is begrudging someone of what he has. The envious do not want your stuff; they want you not to have your stuff. Their motto is: Until everyone can [X], no one can [X]. Envy is the basis of socialism." - Unknown
"The best definition of socialism is simply: the endless war against merit." - Unknown
"Socialism doesn't get the groceries or cook - it only eats." - Unknown
"Socialism is oppression masquerading as compassion." - Unknown
"European social democracies amassed huge welfare systems in the last 30 years because they relied on someone else for security (USA), someone else for manufacturing (China), and someone else for cheap commodities (Russia). What do you think will happen to this model without all of it?" - Unknown
"The goal of socialism is communism.” – Vladimir Lenin
"What did I learn? Well, I finished first but we all got the same trophy. So I guess next time I won't be the idiot who works so hard." - Unknown
”'Real Socialism' has never been tried in the same way that 'Real Capitalism' has never been tried. The difference is 'almost Socialism' resulted in the impoverishment & death of hundreds of millions of people. While 'Almost Capitalism' has lifted billions from absolute poverty." - Unknown
c. Cloward-Piven
---------------------------
"Socialism is not about the environment. It's not about justice. It's not about virtue. Socialism is about only one thing: Power for the ruling class" - Donald J. Trump
"The Democrats believed in flooding the system, create chaos, grab power, and accuse your opponent of misbehavior... this is the ideology of two marxist professors - Cloward and Piven." - Unknown
"Cloward-Piven Strategy:
1) Overload and Break the Welfare System
2) Have Chaos Ensue
3) Take Control in the Chaos
4) Implement Socialism and Communism through Government Force" - Unknown
"When you don't have logic or reason on your side, use power. If you don't have enough power, flood the system to acquire more." - Cloward and Piven Strategy
"Standard Operating Procedure for Progressive Socialists:
1) Advertise
2) Propagandize
3) Coercion
4) Terrorize
5) Euthanize" - Unknown
"A government GAINS power through its FAILURES." - Unknown
"1990's .com boom / 2020's .gov boom" - Unknown
"It seems like everyone that I know in blue states has turned into some kind of social worker..." - Unknown
"I knew the Republic was doomed when I heard a liberal argue that 'promote the general welfare' in the preamble was justification for Welfare/W.I.C. programs, and no one laughed or shouted him down." - Unknown
"HALF the population of New Mexico is on some form of welfare; typically EBT cards/WIC, Medicaid and Section 8 housing. It should also be noted that 51% of the population is Hispanic, 35% white and 12% Native American - most of whom live on Reservations. It's effectively a Social Welfare State...with the lowest ranking for education quality in the country every year." - Unknown
”If welfare worked, in 1970, there would be less of it by now. Not an ever increasing amount. Einstein had something to say about doing the same thing...” - Unknown
"These states are subsidizing poverty. Subsidize something and you will get more of it." - Unknown
"Leftists thrive on crisis but die out during collapse." - Natural News
"Stop calling them progressives, they are Marxists." - Unknown
"Inside every liberal, there is a fascist trying to get out." - Unknown
"Interesting how every major Democrat policy proposal is designed to make it so they can have more political power without having to persuade any more Americans:
- Oh, we're not winning the Senate? Add more seats
- Oh, we have a minority on the Supreme Court? Add more seats
- Oh, there are states with voter IDs? Use a federal law to overturn those requirements and then cheat." - Unknown
"What the Left conferred on America:
- Impeachment once, twice, and more still is a good thing. Better still, it is to try a president even as a private citizen.
- Special counsels are wonderful—all the more so if they have nearly two years and $40 million to hire a dream team of partisan lawyers.
- A good attorney general is a president’s “wingman” who uses the law to go after enemies and exempt friends and families from the law, while using indictments to pave the way for reelection.
- Lawfare is a legitimate tool of the president, especially when targeting a rival threat to his reelection.
- High office is a path to riches. Selling your name for tens of millions of dollars is not only legitimate but a necessary perk of the vice presidency and presidency.
- The FBI, the Pentagon, the CIA, the Justice Department, and the IRS are underused assets. With the right mindset and willpower, all are vital tools in neutering your political enemies.
- The media is utterly corrupt. What it covers and what it omits are entirely political decisions and thus can be warped accordingly by government rewards and punishments." - Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness,
"The Dem's iron-clad lineage:
Slavery / Confederacy / KKK
Federal Reserve
WW1 / WW2
Jim Crow
Nuclear war / Korean war / Vietnam" - Unknown

Gender affirming care -> mutilate kids
Immigrants welcome here -> immigrants not welcome here
Inflation reduction act -> more inflation
Most secure election -> rigged
Mostly peaceful -> violent

Threat to democracy -> threat to Democrat power" - Unknown
"For Demonrats, 'democracy' means rule by Democrats. That's why they call it 'Our Democracy.' As in, theirs. Not yours or mine." - Unknown
"The logo of the Fabian Society, a tortoise, represented the group's predilection for a slow, imperceptible transition to socialism, while its coat of arms, a 'wolf in sheep's clothing', represented its preferred methodology for achieving its goal." - Unknown
"But the general idea is that each man should have power according to his knowledge and capacity. [...] And the keynote is that of my fairy State: From every man according to his capacity; to every man according to his needs. A democratic Socialism, controlled by majority votes, guided by numbers, can never succeed; a truly aristocratic Socialism, controlled by duty, guided by wisdom, is the next step upwards in civilisation." — Annie Besant, a Fabian Society member and later president of Indian National Congress
d. Cocytarchy
---------------------------
"They are weaponized dumb" - Unknown
"Aristotle theorized aristocracy as 'The Rule of the Best' an impossible ideal, but we have many examples of its opposite: The Rule of the worst -> Cocytarchy: Rule of the Damned" - Unknown
"People become Democrats not because they are smart, but because they falsely imagine that becoming a Democrat proves that they are smart. The inverse of this rule is how it is essential to Democrats to pretend that all Trump supporters are ignorant, unintelligent and poorly educated. All of this allows Democrats to never need to analyze policies in a critical manner. They instead look at the source and preemptively judge the policy solely on that basis. It's a wholly faulty heuristic and is the root cause of many of our national problems in 2024." - Unknown
Polenzi Durak = Useful Idiot
”A new study finds that people who believe the Left's Bull Shit are 7x more retarded than previously thought.” - Unknown
"The deliberate dumbing down of McMerica may involve some harsh consequences going forward." - Unknown
"Complex systems can only be maintained through a rigid meritocracy. Anything else results in system failure." - Unknown
"Ineptocracy is a system of government where the least capable of leading are elected by the least capable of producing, where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded w goods & services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers." - Unknown
"Narrator : As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species." - Idiocracy movie intro
"I've never seen a sci-fi comedy change genre to a documentary to then change genre again to a horror movie." - Unknown
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times." - Unknown
"The bottom line is that societies arise from poverty through moral strength—and that brings them prosperity. But that prosperity brings on arrogance, and the arrogance brings on laziness, which brings on weakness and moral decline. Then they're reduced to a condition of slavery and poverty again. Change is the only constant - except in human nature." - Unknown
"First, the multitude builds a prosperous and confident nation. Then people become selfish, immoral, and complacent. The moral breakdown leads to chaos and, ultimately, to slavery. Only after great suffering will a few courageous individuals free society from slavery, and the cycle will repeat again." - Unknown
"Tyrants are well aware of these cycles, and a plethora of inversion techniques have been perfected over these cycles to control the masses. Disasters are created to cause public fear, and when people are afraid they're easy to exploit. They view crisis events as useful for furthering centralization. The first cure for a poorly run country is currency inflation; the second is war. Both result in short-term success and long-term destruction. Yet political and economic opportunists seek sanctuary in both." - Unknown
"There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men.” - Ludwig von Mises
"Why do they put so many morons in positions of power? Because if they can get you to see because it's bloody obvious that a moron is telling you to do something and you still do it knowing they're moronic, they got your self-respect." - David Icke
"'When you are smart, appear retarded.' - Sun Tzu
"On second thought, I think they are just retarded." - Unknown
"They always choose the least capable, most destructive person....The goal has changed. The goal is no longer making the future better....The goal is exactly the opposite, to degrade, to tear down, to get the least capable...aggressively pushed to the very top of society...This is civilizational suicide." - Tucker Carlson
"Remember that in 1984 the daily, constant, never-ending contradictions were not the result of 'incompetent leaders' but intentional psychological warfare intent on breaking your will and spirit." - Unknown
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up." - Barrack Obama
"'I poked the Bear and lost... How do I win? Oh, I know. I'll poke the Dragon now.' - Bidet" - Unknown, on Bear shifting focus from provoking Russia to provoking China
"The Reverse Midas touch. Everything touched by Biden turns into sh*t!" - Unknown
"President Biden, you are the first president of the United States in a very long time that has not built, not even one meter of the wall, and, we thank you for that, sir." - President Obrador of Mexico
"The average Democrat knows the Biden family is profoundly corrupt and they simply don’t care…. Sam Harris spoke for all of them when he said it wouldn’t matter if Hunter’s laptop was packed w/ pictures of dead kids.” - MartyrMade on Twitter
"Government loves to play off that the system is incompetent. If it’s so incompetent how come it’s in control of everything? How does it always grow and grow and grow? People don’t even know the questions to ask. Done correctly you can't tell the difference between corruption and incompetence." - Unknown
"We also need to discuss how the left has become mentally ill, and our own rules of engagement need to shift accordingly. There's no way to reason with these people, or get them back into the social fold. Their minds have been infected with a virus, and it seems permanent." - Unknown
"Democrat voters fear truth and facts the most - the more truth they encounter the more lies they must believe to counter the facts. It is difficult to keep track of so many lies that the democrat gives up logic and thinking to emotional rhetoric - words just feel good because an authority - a so-called expert on cnn, msdnc, the view told them to believe. Eventually the democrat voter's cognitive dissonance becomes full blown TDS and the democrat is officially mentally ill." - Unknown
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself." - Marcus Tullius Cicero
"The heaviest element ever created by colliding everything together is GOVERNMENTIUM. It has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons giving it an atomic weight of 312. And these 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are assisted by a vast number of peons. But since Governmentium has no electrons it is inert, but it can easily be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of governmentium causes any reaction to take weeks to complete when it would usually happen in less than a second! Governmentium has a half-life of four years, but it does not decay, but instead undergoes a re-organization in which the assitant neutrons and the deputy neutrons simply change places. In fact, Governmentium will actually increase in mass since each re-organization will cause some morons to become neutrons forming isodopes. Some scientists speculate that governmentium can be formed whenever enough morons concentrate into a Critical Morass." - Author Unknown
"And the inevitable consequences of the collapse is that woke dies. Companies built on woke die. Leftist organizations who can't exist without support from the gov die. The welfare system ends and the cities burn. It can't happen soon enough." - Unknown
