Private Property is the key to a healthy society.
Why being a Communist / Socialist (Nazi / Marxist ) is evil
How you think about private property lets me know what kind of society you would like to live in.
If you are a Communist you think the state owns everything.
If you are a Socialist you think it is ok to seal private property.
If you are a Capitalist you respect private property.
I heard a good joke this week.
Why are communist willing to have everything in common?
Because they own nothing.
We need to deal with each other via consent rather than control. We give the government control so they can enforce the private property rights of it’s citizens. The more the government steals from it’s people or doesn’t enforce property rights, that is what I call an unjust society and it will eventually fail.
The sins of a communist are easier to explain.
Here are 10 goals of the Communist Party:
Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.
The sins of Socialism seem to make life better until the leader becomes corrupt.
Canada Child Benefit $6,496 per year per child under the age of 6, and up to $5,481 per year per child aged 6 to 17
$650 per year in dental coverage
Now $60 per tonne of CO@ and by 2030, reaching $170
Canadians living standards are getting worse on a per-capita basis.
The reality is leftest thinking is power lust in altruistic language. Greed comes from within the human soul. Like my dad always said. “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” I say you can lead a socialist to a place of employment, but you can can’t make him work. So what do you do when the money runs out and people are homeless? You have to teach him slowly how to look after himself. That is why Jesus said the poor you will always have with you. Mk 14:7 No amount of government spending will get rid of the poor. You need people to help out people, not via coercion or credit score adjustment.
James 4:1,2 From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ask not.
Bitcoin solves this by allowing for more consensual exchange to take place. The higher the market cap of bitcoin the less manipulation the state has against the individual. Bitcoin is a check against the state acting as a predator.
Capitalism really only works when money is in the individuals hands. Lets either get bitcoin into another 100 million people’s hands or double Bitcoin’s value. or both
