“Get rid of the Communists and prosper. Why do so many people have trouble with that concept???”
From de Tocqueville...on equality.
“But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom.”
In other words, envy is the problem.
People decry human greed. But with just a bit of taming, greed can be corralled into “self-interest” resulting in capitalism. Envy on the other hand feeds on itself and inexorably leads to socialism and communism.
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” — Winston Churchill
