I have just spent two hours listening to a self-proclaimed #left politician. He calls himself a #Marxist and is without doubt a very eloquent and surely intelligent person. He would probably describe himself as a moderate fighting for pragmatic and good solutions. Still, the only thing I am hearing is a person advocating for an all-powerful state that enforces equality of outcome, if necessary with coercion and force. I hate to say it, but at the end of the day the only thing that will protect the individual from these types of people is the right to bear arms and self-defense. There is no argument that will convince a person following Marx to respect the individual. When property becomes conditional, Liberty will become optional, And eventually life will be expendable. I guess #envy has made it onto the list of deadly sins because it ultimately drives this ideology. People who don’t understand what wealth actually is cannot comprehend how it is created and therefore will destroy it while seeking “fair” redistribution.
Am I the only one who thinks this would be a way more civilized way of settling political disputes than what we’re doing today 🤔? #usa#politics#ufc#trump#obama#ai#memes
Two very different worldviews: 1. Individual liberty is a necessary evil, and the perfect world is one where a benevolent all-powerful government takes care of everybody. 2. Government is a necessary evil, and the perfect world is one in which free people cooperate voluntarily and coexist peacefully.
Both states will never be reached, but you are knowingly or unknowingly supporting one of them, and by doing so you push the system in that direction.
But it doesn’t have a use case and intrinsic value 😖! Peter Schiff said Gold is better 😭! And this just proves that it’s only being used by criminals 🤬!
