...you gotta yell "FORWARD!"
Communists are always calling for people to march forward, look forward, dream forward, five-year f*&king plans forward...always forward. They even demand that you face forward when they execute you with a bullet to the back of the head.
Simple, really. The society they create is always so brutally, dismally, insanely awful that they HAVE to keep you thinking something better is just ahead if you keep going forward.
So it is beginning to piss me off that our Beloved Leader who has never EVER EVER been even slightly interested in Marxism and simply ADORES capitalism and freedom, keeps using that word - FORWARD. I don't think it means what he thinks it means...
DOUBLEPLUSUNDEAD helps him out on what it actually means.
Should we be alarmed?
Snorfle. I am stealing the way you put it: never been slightly interested in Marxism, and simply adores capitalism, and somehow accidentally keeps using Marxist slogans (such as "Forward"), and Marxist inspired art. Accidentally. Coincidentally. Cannot imagine HOW it keeps happening. A PATTERN of accident and coincidence. Weird.
ReplyDeleteWeird...I know, right? Crazy coincidence.

Inigo: I want my country back you son of a bitch!
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my country. Prepare to die."
DeleteI think they cry "Forward" because they see a few personal liberties up ahead they haven't trampled into greasy paste yet.
ReplyDeleteStomp, stomp. Crunch, crunch.
I'm laughing, but that is so close to true, I don't know why I find it funny!

You've done an awesome job defining collectivism.
ReplyDeleteLets take the UN's Declaration of Human Rights for example. First, who is the UN to declare anything, or issue people rights? Our rights come from God, they're inherent, we're born with them. If you don't believe in God and claim your birthright, then go ask the government what your rights are. They'll be more than happy to tell you what you can and can not do, when you can and can not do it, where you can and can not do it, even if, you can or can not do it. No man is in authority over another man except through force or consent--its just that simple.
Each man must stand up and claim his right to be free, and never allow anyone else to re-present you.
So lets just read Article 30, the last article of the UN's crappy set of rights, something I wouldn't even dream of claiming or agreeing to. I'll stick with my God granted rights thanks, they can keep their hu-man "rights." I'll scream freedom like William Wallace on his death bed before I agree to accept anything these psychopaths have to offer.
http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml
Article 30 states:
Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.
So if you don't like your crappy set of rights from the UN, then guess what, you're screwed, cause you're not allow to tear it down, shred the whole kit and kabootle and start over with something else. It kinda closes the loop on the whole freedom thing doesn't it? Well, the devil they say, truly, is in the details.
But this is the essence of collectivism, doing things for the whole, which ideally, has always sounded like a good idea at first to the naive, but in reality, has only ever been made up of a few men, who tell the whole what they can do, how to do it, when they can do it, where they can do it, or, if they can do it at all.
Sound like freedom to you? If your neighbor isn't free, then you're not free. If my neighbor isn't free, then I'm not free.
Without freedom, you can't do anything--except what you're told to do.
Individual liberty is the single greatest threat to the collectivists. So exercise it.

Word. Everything you wrote. You sound just like me, a little Ayn Randian, but with the idea that political philosophy must defer to a power greater than man because only when our rights rest in a power beyond man's ability to manipulate them can they be justified against all demands and wounds and injuries.
DeleteLoved the video BTW. Excellent!
