It never has worked that way and never will. The Liberal resfusal to acknowledge this fundamental truth is one of the elements of their collective mental illness.

Everytime liberalism/ socialism/ communism has been tried, it has failed MISERABLY. WHY? Because it flies fully in the face of the basic motivational force of the human spirit. It suppresses the individual’s instinctive desire to self actualize, the desire to be all that one can be.

Hell, the Pilgrims first tried it when they got to Massachusetts and they quickly discovered that those who could produce the most work had no desire to do so if they weren’t going to receive any benefit from their own labor. People complain that they aren’t receiving what they’re worth now. Imagine what it would be like if you could NEVER earn more than you are earning right now because if you tried, the government would simply take the excess to give to someone who wasn’t working at all. Exactly how motivated would that leave you? That folks is the fallacy of liberalism/ socialism/ communism. The fallacy that people will work harder to provide for those who won’t work at all.

There is an interesting book about a supposed utopian society written by Edward Bellamy called “Looking Backward”. In it, every job paid exactly the same. Every job is controlled by the government and everyone works for 2 -4 years after high school in a menial labor job until they decide what career they want to go into. The way that the various jobs were filled wasn’t based on pay, but on the hours worked. For those jobs that were particularly undesirable, the hours would be reduced to the point where the positions would be filled. Hence while a doctor and a miner might earn the same, the desirability of being a doctor would cause the doctor to work substantially greater hours a week than the miner. While a doctor or lawyer might have to work 50 hours per week to earn their salary, a miner might only have to work 10 because of the hazardous nature of the job. By doing this it allowed people to determine what things in their life were most important. Someone who might want to spend as much time as possible pursuing a hobby might choose a less desirable job in order to be able to have more free time for their hobbies.

The similarities to Kissinger’s words are eerie.

I hate that f***ing war criminal….

By the way, Kissinger’s words provide a lovely condensation of one aspect of the neo-con position as elaborated by their intellectual father Leo Strauss (see his theory of the “Noble Lie” in The City and Man).

“Today Americans would be outraged if U. N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.”
~ Henry Kissinger

This gives me chills whenever I see or hear it.

Here’s a clearly anti-HK website where I copied the quote, but I have heard the quote for years. It is genuine.

If I can find a famous quote of his that gives me chills, I’ll post it.
