The world economy would collapse if a significant number of people were to realize and then act on the realization that it is possible to enjoy many if not most of the things that they enjoy without first having to own them.
~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Socialists seem to think George Orwell’s 1984 is a suggestion, or at least are unashamed of mimicking the methods of the totalitarian state Orwell depicted. Libertarians know it to be a warning, and a government that micro-manages all aspects of humanity an intolerable reality.
~ A.e. Samaan
Art was the first casualty of the Socialist and Communist revolutions of the 20th Century. Socialists killed the independent thinkers first.
Individuals can only volunteer their will. The collective has no rights if not by the use of force and coercion. Collectivism is not a collection of individuals, It is the complete denial of the individual and its rights. Socialism is not cooperation of individuals, it is the denial of individual rights and individual dignity.
Fuck socialism!No, really..... fuck socialism. Socialism sucks!
Democratic Socialism is simply Totalitarianism that allows you the illusion of a voice in the matter.
While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
~ Eugene V. Debs
LEFTISTS EAT THEIR CHILDREN: The poets, artists, and radicals are murdered first once the revolution actually comes about.
There's something immoral about abandoning your common sense in matters of social importance.
Every totalitarian Communist considered themselves as a Socialist first and foremost.
Socialism is not a meritocracy. By definition it places increasingly confining restraints on those that succeed the most.
Capitalists desire purchasing power. Socialists lust for the power to plan society. Which is worse?
The road to evil is paved with socialist intentions.
It is incredible that this must be said, but the obvious seems to escape politicized academics, so we must state the obvious: Genocide is deliberate; it is premeditated. There is no genocide without premeditation. The murders are not unfortunate coincidences. This is why it is called mass MURDER and not mass MANSLAUGHTER.
A Socialist State demands precisely the same human symbols as that of Fascist or Nazi, and the same surrender of human liberties if it is to succeed.
~ Eden Phillpotts
Some capitalism suffers from cronyism. All of socialism is perverted by the crony statism of the powerful few.
Socialism is group-think. How uninformed in history do you have to be to advocate for group-think??
The sadist desires to command and control. The masochist desires to be freed from the burdens of liberty. That is Socialism.
The central planners of Democratic Socialism tighten their noose when people resist their plans and assert their rights. All Socialism is intended to devolve into Communism, and as a result, Totalitarianism.
Political scientists and professors are the new clergy, the clergy of oppression.
The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private liberty.
Communism is what happens when Socialists realize that they want complete control over every aspect of human life.
A centrally planned economy by definition discourages and despises participation by the masses. It's a bureaucratic oligarchy.
I am first of all a white man, and only then a socialist.
~ Jack London
Capitalists grow wealth. Socialists redistribute wealth.... but population grows, so the Socialist population control kicks in in the form of eugenics.
Every capitalist is rich, but every rich is not a capitalist.
~ Amit Kalantri
Capitalism is an ability to stay rich and keep getting rich.
Democratic Socialism devolves into totalitarian Socialism and eventually into full on Communism as people resist statism.
Some Socialists seem to believe that people should be numbers in a State computer. We believe they should be individuals. We are all unequal. No one, thank heavens, is like anyone else, however much the Socialists may pretend otherwise. We believe that everyone has the right to be unequal but to us every human being is equally important.
~ Margaret Thatcher
You are cordially invited to go fuck yourself.
Nine out of ten eugenicists in the 20th Century were also Progressives or Socialists, as central to the eugenic creed is the desire to engineer and centrally plan human reproduction and heredity. These were not people that believed in individual liberty. They certainly didn't believe the individual had the right to chose their own mate freely. They were statists, They were totalitarians at heart.
