RE: My problem with Communism
Thank goodness you can think straight. People are so easily brainwashed. People seem to fall for things that sound good. They so willingly receive the "free stuff" - and they think that is the way to go. Then they are trapped in dependency and helplessness. They won't be able to fight back. The thing is the ideology is very enticing. The big problem is the leaders are usually diabolical. I know I only can say things in a very general way. But I have read stories of people's experiences living under communism. Thanks for getting people to think.
They should vote for "Vermin Supreme" then he'll give them free ponies. :)
I've actually started calling them what they are. I believe Leaders are someone we can choose to lead and choose not to. If you are a good cook and we are going to cook, I'll let you lead. If we are going into war and you are a good tactician or strategist then perhaps you should lead. The general should not lead when we are cooking.
The problem is actually with RULERS. Those who can make up the rules and FORCE the rest of us to follow them. We are not voluntarily following them.
So I've started making a distinction between leaders and rulers as I think there actually is one.
Free stuff if you produce more than you consume, what's not fair or great about that?
(sarcasm off)
Do you know people who live this way?
If this is their choice and they are happy, no problem, good for them.
It's all the people who have no choice.
