It is one thing that has always bothered me about these communist revolutionary type thinkers. Why do they think that a powerful government (no matter who is in power) is more sympathetic, less dangerous and more humane than a corporation.
To my mind a powerful government is always going to be more dangerous than a corporation because a government can jail you or kill you using the power of law. The more powerful a government becomes the more dangerous it becomes.
Joseph Stalin held unchallenged power in the Soviet Union and during his reign it is estimated that 20 million died at the hands of government. Moa Se Tung held unchallenged power in China and it is estimated that 70 million died at the hands of his government.
These are just two of the dictators of the 20 Century that held the unlimited power of government in their hands and killed at will those they suspected of merely not supporting their rule. These men were communist leaders men who were of the type supposedly these students and old folk would chose for the leaders of their post revolutionary government.
Considering the evil these men wrought upon their post revolutionary countries what kind of evil have the banks of Wall Street wrought upon this country that these educated people would bring men of this type to power?
Far too many Americans are both economically illiterate (as proven in multiple studies issued by www.nber.org (National Bureau of Economic Research) and historically ignorant. Like uneducated sheep, they clamor for their own destruction.
The problem with your post is that you have misidentified what these people are. I underlined the misidentification.
These people aren't educated at all, in any meaningful sense of the word. They are merely indoctrinated.
This makes them abysmally ignorant. And when they add, in equal measure unbridled arrogance to that same abysmal ignorance, then they imbibing deeply of one of the most potentially lethal 'cocktails' known to mankind. It is not only potentially lethal to themselves, it is equally potentially lethal to everyone around them, and society as a whole.
History is replete with the end results of such an action. But they have been, and I believe deliberately so, kept ignorant of the effects of their course...
