Random Observations...
...Meaning I don't have time to post anything that actually takes time to write
Anything can be sold if it's in the right package (and there continues to be people who are easily swayed by such packaging). “Anything” unfortunately include ideas, religions, and the products of a mere will to conquest.
The leftist view of economics is, and always has been, that of a child. You want something and think you should have it and some paternalistic figure is supposed to hand it over to you. The how or why of the issue is never part of the equation.
The road to “paradise” is paved with the victims of self-righteous control freaks.
Fascism is merely socialism minus seizure of private property.
Consensus: One group's submission to another's more powerful position (also a definition to "cooperation" as commonly used in political discourse).
The one thing in politics and legislation that should be considered most, and is often never considered at all is human nature...
There's no way around it; America's constitution as an obstacle to political "action" is more detrimental the the cause of Democrats than Republicans. (e.g. Republican ideals are more in line with the constitution). For Democrats to impose what they want would require virtually eliminating the document in spirit and discarding most of it in specifics.
The Chinese are natural born capitalists living under communism and the Japanese are natural born communists living under capitalism
One can be almost certain that when someone rants of others as being, "full of hate," that the accuser is likely, themselves, consumed with it. The only difference being the object of the hatred and a flight from reality regarding one's own motivations.
The laws of history and nature will surely do any country in over time. Why speed the process along.
The most pernicious aspect of the Jacobin mind is it's pervasive ability to simply nullify all opposition as invalid. What's to debate when there is no other side worthy of acknowledgment?
