To: GoLightly

Thousands of years ago bands of humans attacked one another because one group wanted what another had without working for it.

Later on it grew to tribes waging war on each other, for the same reasons.

The ages come and go, and history rinses and repeats. Attila, the Vikings, the Mongols, countless European wars, Napoleon, Hitler, ad nauseam.

But before Hitler someone came up with a novel idea. Instead of waging war to get what they didn't earn, people would gang together so they could fall upon each other like wolves without all the bloodshed (at least for them). Now those with no drive or ability to succeed had the power of the State to take from others and give to themselves.

Enter Socialism.

It's always the same tune: "you selfish Freepers, you Nazis, you don't want to help anyone but yourselves. All we want is to create a better world."

Translation: "I want what you have but I don't want to spend the years and effort becoming educated and building a career. And I'm angry that you have more toys than I do, so I'm going to get my government buddies to take it from you and give it to me. So nyah."

Like I said, history rinses and repeats.

The way the gorilla tells it, the problems all began with farming, when someone started locking up food. Before then we were all free to skip nekid through the forests, foraging on leaves & fruits & nuts & roots & berries to our heart's content. la la la la la

Some woman figured out having big headed babies, while having hips narrow enough for the baby to stay in the womb long enough to survive was dangerous to her, so she said no to the guys who didn't "own" enough useful stuff.

Putting a seed into the ground leads to raping, pillaging, bigotry & slavery in some form. Socialism is the "modern", "enlightened" cure for those evils, the proper way to eliminate those evils. Eventually we're all back skipping nekid through the forests & that's a good thing. Mother Gia will finally be content once again.
