At its heart Marxism, the core ideology
of Socialism, contains an irrational, utopian and coercive perversion of
human equality. Marxism seeks and enforces equality in situations where
equality does not exist, demanding legal enforcement of equal
societal outcomes including those related to economics, religion and
human sexuality. This ideology even extends to international relationships
whereby no nation is allowed to "excessively" prosper or achieve greatness,
i.e.: all nations must be "equal".
Under the guiding hand of academia and
mass media, Marxist ideas are slowly and silently transforming the mental
attitudes of Americas. We fail to recognize Marxist Equality at work for
example when elementary schools do not keep score during athletic events;
we must not hurt little Johnny's feelings when another team scores more
goals or points - that is inequality - never mind that athletic competition
results in a form of natural and healthy inequality with an appreciation
for both success and failure.
In Lincoln Massachusetts "The town's
teams are balanced to ensure that each is equally
strong." Collegiate Title IX rules are a form of Cultural Marxism
since equal numbers of men's and women's athletic programs are enforced
instead of equal liberty for students to create teams. This form of Marxist
thinking is called "gender
equity," but Marxist thinking is dysfunctional in the real world, frustrating
the liberty
and the right of individuals to pursue athletic recreation.
Affirmative Action is also a form of
Marxism since it forces equal ethnic or racial outcomes rather than equal
standards for all. Under Marxism the economic outcome of hard work and
creativity must be equal to that of laziness or incompetence; the values
of American Judeo-Christian
Culture must be seen as equal to that of Totalitarian Islam, and the value
of heterosexual marriage must be equal to that of homosexuality, etc. In
the end Theophobic Marxism demands that good
must equal evil, because that is the ultimate inequality.
"Communism has never concealed the fact
that it rejects all absolute concepts of morality. It scoffs at any consideration
of "good" and "evil" as indisputable categories. Communism considers morality
to be relative, to be a class matter. Depending upon circumstances and
the political situation, any act, including murder, even the killing of
thousands, could be good or could be bad." Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Marxism, as a corollary to irrational
government-forced equal outcome, unjustly demands rules and laws which
restrict freedom. Envision a sprinter weighed down by leaded shoes and
required to dodge hidden tripwires; since his competitor has no such burden,
one achieves enforced equal outcome - or engineered defeat. Ordinary hard-working,
tax-paying, State-supporting middle-class Americans are the impeded runner
under an increasingly Marxist economic system, the new "bourgeoisie;" and
their burden is excessive taxation earmarked for redistribution to State-supported
intellectuals
and the non-disabled new "proletariat" in return for votes, because under
Marxism the bourgeoisie and proletariat must be forced into economic equality
regardless of creativity, effort and labor.
Karl
Marx mistakenly taught that this irrational form of equality is "social
justice;" an idea he picked up from Rousseau
and the French Revolution. When the French and other Marxist Socialists
speak of "equality" you should understand its meaning in an Orwellian way:
it is a lie. Karl Marx did not believe in equality before life, liberty
and property-securing law; that is the real social justice of human equality
in our Declaration
of Independence.
Marxist economic equality is based on
a government empowered to "legally"
take
control of individual private property through excessive taxation;
government power which exceeds the limits of our Constitution, and which
tyrannically infringes on our unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness,
i.e.: private property honestly earned through individual creative labor;
government power without informed consent.
"The proletariat will use its political
supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize
all instruments of production in the hands of the state... Of course, in
the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads
on the rights of property" Karl Marx
Under Marxism
the middle class will be gradually reduced to the economic level of existing
poverty:
"You must, therefore, confess that by
"individual" you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class
owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and
made impossible." Karl Marx
The economic, political and social goal
of Karl Marx was the creation of a "classless society;" a feat of social
engineering which destroys the unalienable private property rights of middle
class individuals. Obama's White House Chief of Staff, Rham
Emmanuel, echoed the tyranny of Economic Marxist Equality in his book:
The
Plan, Big Ideas for America:
"We aspire to be a classless society
- a middle-class country in which the door of opportunity are open to all."
Rham Emmanuel
Compare the thinking of Rham Emmanuel
to that of Karl Marx in this
letter
from 1852:
"I do not claim to have discovered either
the existence of classes in modern society or the struggle between them...My
own contribution was
1. to show that the existence of
classes is merely bound up with certain historical phases in the
development of production;
2. that the class struggle necessarily
leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat;
3. that this dictatorship itself constitutes
no more than a transition to the abolition of all classes and to
a classless society." Karl Marx
Someone needs to remind Rham Emmanuel
that "proletariat dictatorships" never seem to fade away in societies where
Marxist-Socialist governments become unjustly empowered to take control
of middle class individual property; but this is a truth he must already
know.
After Marxists destroy the dreaded middle
class by gaining control of their property, and after ensuring their own
wealth; they go about delivering "social justice," i.e.: creativity-destroying
property re-distribution, ushering in their dystopian dream of Marxist
Equality; but it turns out to be the equality of serfs,
except of course for the ruling Marxist Socialist elite and their favorites;
and thus you have Orwellian Equality; i.e.: inequality. Marxism sets up
an elite governing class of self-serving, social-engineering "Philosopher
Kings;" an unjust, tyranny-tilted governing system whose features, along
with Monarchy, Oligarchy or Fascism, our founding
fathers have warned:
"The issue today is the same as it has
been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself
or be ruled by a small elite." Thomas Jefferson
"Where the law of the majority ceases
to be acknowledged, there government ends; the law of the strongest takes
its place, and life and property are his who can take them."
Thomas Jefferson
Marxist equality was carefully analyzed
by Igor
Shafarevich and Alexander
Solzhenitsyn who both lived under this system of social injustice.
Eastern European dissenters directly witnessed the Marxist Socialist political
system which is tilted toward tyranny, and they know the smell of a corpse.
"The revolutionaries who drew up the
"Conspiracy
of Equals" understood equality in such a way that they alone formed
the government, while others were to obey implicitly--and those who did
not were to be exiled to certain islands for forced labor. In the most
popular work of Marxism, the Communist
Manifesto, one of the first measures of the new socialist system to
be proposed is the introduction of compulsory labor...From this point of
view, a puzzling and at first sight contradictory property of socialist
doctrines becomes apparent. They proclaim the greatest possible equality,
the destruction of hierarchy in society and at the same time a strict regimentation
of all of life, which would be impossible without absolute control and
an all-powerful bureaucracy which would engender an incomparably greater
inequality." Igor Shafarevich
"And even equality itself, that
powerful appeal and great promise of socialists throughout the ages, turns
out to signify not equality of rights, of opportunities, and of external
conditions, but equality qua identity, equality seen as the movement
of variety toward uniformity...." Alexander Solzhenitsyn
F.A.
Hayek also understood that the Marxist goal of government-forced economic
equality was incompatible with human liberty.
"A claim for equality of material position
can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers". F. A.
Hayek
Marxist Equality requires tyrannical
rules or laws which destroy our sacred and unalienable rights to liberty
- our freedom to succeed or fail, and our sacred and unalienable right
to the pursuit of happiness - our honestly-earned private property. What
is law which destroys individual, unalienable human rights?
"Law is often but the tyrant's will,
and always so when it violates the right of an individual." Thomas
Jefferson
Marxism is the anti-Declaration of Independence;
it is an anti-American system in all respects, and Karl Marx was the anti-Thomas
Jefferson and the anti-John
Locke. Our founding fathers understood that human liberty results in
economic inequality; and we know that human liberty results in unequal
numbers of sports teams, and unequal scores in games and on tests; that
is just human nature.
What our founders desired; and what
they devised with our Constitution
and Bill
of Rights, was a system of government, not to force economic equality,
but to provide for equal opportunity, i.e.: equality before just law which
secures rather than destroys our unalienable rights. There are those among
us, primarily leaders of the Democratic Party (with some Republicans in
tow), who aim for our transition from American Equality to Marxist Equality.
This transition is already occurring,
and if we allow it to continue, it will lead to economic ruin and further
infringement and eventual destruction of our sacred human liberty and pursuit
of happiness. Here in the United States this process may not transpire
exactly as it occurred in the Soviet
Union; but the end
result could be similar. |
