That doctrine is ethical socialism - founding morality on what is believed to be good for society as a whole. This false belief is at the root of why such projects always result in mass death. It would be helpful, at least to me, if you would explain the cause and effect of your two sentences.
As I think you know, I believe our Statists think they are behaving morally, no matter how deadly they are, they just have standards different from people who are less noble than they.

This would have never happened when those awful “Colonists” were in charge. Thin line, isn’t it?

Clive used to post and ping me to these Cathy Buckly letters fairly regularly. Don't know why he stopped.
Hope he's OK. Please add me to the list.

HOP: “That doctrine is ethical socialism - founding morality on what is believed to be good for society as a whole. This false belief is at the root of why such projects always result in mass death.”
AS: “It would be helpful, at least to me, if you would explain the cause and effect of your two sentences.”
I cannot fully explain that link - I only see it displayed in real-world tragedies. My assumption is that false beliefs adhered to by those in power eventually leads to accepting, or demanding, the death of masses of the population rather than admit error.
As to the “why?” of it all, I admit ignorance.

If I were to request of you to turn-off that projector of yours, could you do it? It is the one where you project your own decency upon those whose judgment you are openly questioning.
If you can do that for just this exercise, how might this temporary you alter old you’s most troubling observation?
“accepting, or demanding, the death of masses of the population rather than admit error.”
