When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one class for oppressing another.And by some bizarre reasoning, they also think that abolishing the family, abolishing rights of inheritance, abolishing religion, and generally abolishing everything that normal society has been built on, they can achieve their illusion.
If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organize itself as a class; if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production; then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.
In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.
Sounds like a marxist to me. These goose steppers are full of Sh*t! They rake in millions and they say they want everyone to be equal. Just look at the Klintons and all the money they are making while preaching to the low brows.
Except their own, of course.
Regarding the title of the article, the left does not hate prosperity. The left hates when somebody else prospers and they don't. Sadly, the left is slow to learn that it's better to learn how to fish instead of "making a living" by accepting fish from others.
The true believers in progressivism/liberalism are insane. They cannot operate from a position of rationality. They live in a world ruled by cognitive dissonance and are incapable of recognizing this. They are driven by emotion and use that emotion as a hammer to beat others psyches into submission. Until these people decide they’ve had enough it will not stop.
Nailed it. If Tolik were still around he’d be sending out a ping.
The leftists love THEIR prosperity.
She is clueless about how an individual actually becomes rich. First, he has to figure out and come up with a new or better product, a new or better means of production, or correctly anticipate changes in demand. This will lead to higher revenues and/or lower costs, which lead to higher profits and higher than average rates of profit. Then, he has to make the choice of consuming less and saving and reinvesting more of the profits. Then, he has to keep repeating the above over and over again for a long period of time.These are individual virtues that do not depend on others.
It’s a given.
The Left is not political. Politics is the Trojan Horse of the Left, like Religion is the Trojan Horse of Islam.
Both are about tyrannical power - only.
Leftist want to run the tyranny.
Liberals want to be favored pets of the Leftists.
And RINOs...
...are the Leftists with the job of neutralizing any organized resistance to the Left.
Does anyone see anything remotely resembling political opinions here? Constitutional issues, maybe? No?
Because their are none. And that’s why liberals get so pissed off if you want to talk issues. The only “issue” to a liberal is obedience. Not not “get” this, to them, is to literally be stupid. That’s why they hat conservatives - from the liberal point of view, conservatives are stupid because they don’t get that it’s about obedience, and dangerous because they stand in the way of the tyranny of those whose boots the liberals lick.
I don’t think they hate it at all. Look where all the prosperity in this country is centered - Washington, DC! They control the joint. If they hated prosperity, it would look like Port-au-Price or Detroit. Instead, it looks like Shanghai! What does that tell you?
Actually, what they hate is that you did it without their permission. And what they hate more is that you don't need them.
They are dedicated to creating a system in which they are important, where you have to have their permission, defer to their judgement, and where they matter without actually having to do the things you had to do to create the things you create and build the things you build.
In the system they impose they control industries they never created and never invested in. They take control of lands and businesses without having bought or built or earned any of it.
They accuse the rest of the world of being driven by greed. But demanding control of what you never built is the very definition of greed.
The left wants to limit growth so people will limit the birth rate, also all profits need to be funneled to the government for theft by fascist leaders within the party.
Sociopath fascists now run most of our government, that’s why we see death panels at the VA, and in ObamaCare.
The death panels will limit treatment for conservatives....Our country and the democrat party have lost it’s soul...
It’s harder to control prosperous people, so naturally progressive control freaks hat prosperity.
