I have a 3 year
old boy. I love him tremendously. He is very verbal, quite a thinker, very
funny, sweet and thoughtful and considerate of others. He'll be 4 in less
than two months, and his mom and I know that we have to increase his social
skills, so this past week, I enrolled him into preschool. The goal is to aid
his socialization, to help him to learn to get along with other children his
age. He will learn to not hit, not push, not bite
others. And he'll learn to play well and talk with other kids. He'll learn
how to be social with kids his own age.
We are not
sending him to preschool to learn how to steal. There's no specific
instruction there on how to extort others. He's not going there to learn how
to bully others. He's not going to learn how to oppress others. Those are all
anti-social behaviors.
Why then do we
call a certain kind of political belief, "socialism"? When it's
nothing of the sort?
Is theft
social? No? Right. It's not. I think we can all agree on the definition here
that theft is anti social behavior. Socialism is
institutionalized theft. Why then don't they call it
"anti-socialism"? That would be the more literal and more accurate
description.
Ah. I have an
answer to my own question. I think that the ones who
name it, control the press, and gave it the improper name on purpose, to make
it sound good. Nobody would be for "anti-socialism", because that
sounds bad. And IS BAD!
(And to communicate
effectively, I must play along, and use the same term, they
way they do, in the normal sense, most of the time.)
Now, before you
criticize my political beliefs, be careful to understand what I do believe.
The opposite of socialism is not "George Bush neo con
Republicanism". I've been writing for over ten years. Not once will you
ever find where I wrote a single nice thing about Bush. The opposite of
statist totalitarian socialism would be libertarianism, free market laissez
faire (hands off) capitalism and freedom.
This brings up
another topic.
The mainstream
press tends to label those who advocate free trade as
"individualists" or "isolationists". I believe Ayn Rand's objectivism was called individualism. They
have called Ron Paul an isolationist. It's a nonsense label.
How can an
individual trade with others in isolation? Those labels make no sense for
people who believe in the value of trading with other people or nations.
In actual fact,
the political advocacy of principles such as "leave
us alone" and "don't steal from me" and "let me trade
with others in peace" should be called socialism. After all, it's good
and social to believe that oppression and theft are wrong. It's a very social
skill to learn how to get along well with others, such as by trading with
them.
There is only
one political philosophy that actually cares about the good for all people, that could actually and legitimately be called
"socialism". It's Ron Paul Republicanism, libertarianism, it's free
market laissez faire capitalism, and it's true freedom.
People will
either thrive under freedom (that's social), or wither under slavery and
government oppression (that's anti-social). The correct political opposites
are really that simple.
Now, I'm not
saying this in order to change the dictionary definition of the words we use
in discussions. That would lead to confusion. No, I write because I know that
once truth gets into a person's brain, it is never lost again, and you can't
shake it out, and it becomes useful forever. I don't know yet exactly how
this truth will be useful, but there it is for your wonder and enjoyment.
I also bring
this up, because I'm surprised I never remember
reading it anywhere else. Why is that? I find that fascinating. I'm amazed by
the entire process of insights. I'm sitting here myself a bit flabbergasted,
wondering why I never thought of this before now. It seems so obvious.
Socialism is completely anti-social. It makes perfect sense. Freedom is the
only system that benefits people and is actually social. Of course!
I also think
that it's worthy to point out a clear example that so clearly illustrates
that we live in a society that is hell bent on brainwashing us through the
misuse of words, on purpose, to confuse us.
As a final
example, the "dollar" used to be a measure of silver. Then, a
"dollar" became a promise to deliver that measure of silver on
demand. Then, a "dollar" meant nothing at all. Today, silver is
measured in troy ounces. And a real silver dollar now costs about $24, showing
again, how deceivers and bankers do their work by mis-defining
and re-defining terms as they go along, as they have always done.
We buy and sell
silver and gold at free market fair prices: www.jhmint.com.
I strongly advise you to take possession of real
gold and silver, at anywhere near today's prices, while you still can. The
fundamentals indicate rising prices for decades to come, and a major price
spike can happen at any time.
