RE: Utopia ALWAYS leads to Dystopia
Thank you for your well written article @stevecoins. Yes, Thomas More is a good example of good intentions going bad just as the French Revolution on a micro scale is a good example of anarchy running its course. It seems so many think anarchy is the answer when we have several examples from history that prove it does not provide solutions, it only focuses on the problem.
Thank you again for your courage in writing this article.
If it makes you feel better about anarchy, it was leftist government that took the French Revolution into the Terror ;>
I'm still not in favor of anarchy...but that's another post!
Yes, it was a leftist government. The middle class had legitimate complaints, they were being squeezed out and in their revolt, the criminal element took over....it could happen again. The reason the American Revolution should be referred to as the War for Independence is that they wanted a government, had a solution and were willing to fight for a new government.
Principle. Freedom without authority is anarchy and authority without freedon is tyranny.
Thank you for your reply.
the middle class is always who gets nailed first: it's not just leftists that do that but they (the leftists) really do hate the middle class, especially those people that have risen out of the poor:
The Soviets and the kulaks
Obamacare and small biz owners/independent contractors
