Steps to totalitarianism

Steps to Totalitarianism

Liberalism

It starts out with things like save the whales, save the dolphins, save the frogs, save the tigers, save the chimps, save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. All are worthy (and real. Google search “save the…”) causes as are ecological and humanitarian causes.

Liberalism progresses into socialism by briefly passing through the Progressive lens. Progressivism takes liberalism into action for change based on the emotion of liberalism. The progressives are a little more rigid and preach soft collectivism. Progressive is the stage where all of the desensitizing takes place. Desensitized to what? Socialist ideas. The movement is growing in the shadows. Still connected to liberals who want to live and let live in peace, the progressives have so damaged the other side that it’s a knee-jerk reaction to vote Democrat - never realizing what is happening inside the Democrat party. So the liberals get dragged into voting for Progressives

While the Progressives have their eye further down the field.

Socialism

After Progressives have desensitized people to the idea of collectivism, it begins to show a little more ankle. The language changes slightly, and by using Western style words like Democracy, and equity, and by adding the word justice as a suffix to their popular causes, the meaning and direction of the movement changes course. Suddenly things like social justice, or economic justice becomes accepted by people who are still sleeping. Now we have social justice, economic justice, water justice, food justice, housing justice, environmental justice, ecological justice, carbon justice, really, it’s endless.

So what is there about democracy that isn’t fair? Isn’t it the will of the people? Majority rule? I’ll deal with that very shortly. What is there about “justice” that anyone can argue with? In this case the only way the word justice can fit is from the point of view of someone who has made a series of bad choices in their life and now doesn’t want to take responsibility. Mostly, I’m referring to economic or social justice. All the others have jumped onto the phrase to appeal to other liberals who know-what-they’re-talking-about.

In the long run, giving people free stuff isn’t helping them at all, is it? It is simply creating dependence. This is what is done with pets, making them dependent. When this is done with people, it ensures their loyalty when the vote comes around.

So, when the vote comes around, what do candidates say to procure that vote? They will promise to continue to pay benefits for people who, at this point it can easily be said, vote for a living. Now we have the richest poor people on the planet. How did that happen? It happened because the participation in this socialism is not voluntary by all. Participation is enforced through the progressive income tax. The higher the income, the higher the percentage of tax you pay. Why? Because it’s fair. Patriotic even.

It’s easier to control a population where large numbers of the people are dependent on government. Once the population is under government control, you have full on…..

Communism

Now that the population is controlled, industry gets absorbed into government.

Maxine Waters, D California during hearings of oil companies.

Waters told the president of a major oil company to “guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socializing -- uh, uh, would be about basically taking over and the government running all of your companies.” ^[i]

So that’s the oil companies. What about the rest of them? What do you think all the bailouts were for? Ya got ‘chur Auto bailouts - two of the three major manufacturers, ya got ‘chur insurance companies - AIG, ya got ‘chur Freddie mac and Fanny May - government mortgage holders. Now the population is controlled through confiscatory taxes and regulations and many of the big industries are owned by the government, what’s next? All they really have to do is wait. Pretty soon, the people riding in the cart outnumber the people pulling the cart. Achievement is discouraged, success is disparaged, and the pullers of the cart get dispirited and give up. Soon everyone is in the cart, and all that’s left to do is disseminate resources. Everyone gets equal portions of everything. This can be read in the preamble to their Communist Constitution.

So let’s review:

When you take apart the means used to promote the goals of communism, you first find liberalism which is an emotional ideology. The next degree is progressivism, which takes liberalism into action for change based on the emotion of liberalism. The next step is socialism. Socialism would work just fine on a voluntary basis. The problem is human beings are individuals! Socialism is collectivism, and lazy humans will follow the path of least resistance, which means they will try to get away with less work. It also means less of a full life. Less juice. Fewer fulfillments. And this is accomplished by using logical words like democracy, and democratic this or that. The final step (or final solution) is Communism. State run everything. State distributed everything. Everyone is totally one hundred percent dependent on the state. Totalitarianism.

#22-33 of the "45 stated goals for the communist takeover of the USA"

I'm putting this up from the chapter I wrote on communism because there's a cute story about my dad and one of my kids.

.....45 stated goals for the communist takeover of the USA.....

This is an excerpt from a book called "The Naked Communist" by Cleon Skousen. 1913-2006

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms." -The National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution is presenting a yuletide showing of such images as an ant-covered Jesus, Ellen DeGeneres clutching her breasts, naked male genitalia — and a painting the Smithsonian describes as "homoerotic" in its catalogue.

 23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
[My dad accompanied my wife and our two kids to the local art museum. My wife tells it where she was across the small room from my dad and our oldest son who was nine years old at the time. The two gentlemen were contemplating an abstract of some sort. The museum was respectfully quiet as museums tend to be, with the exception of my wife and a museum attendant whispering about a piece. The quiet was broken by a male voice, not loud, but not a whisper either. It was my dad. After several minutes inspecting the painting, my father asked my son who was beside him also looking at the abstract, "You know what that is?" My son looked up at my dad, unsure if he were actually being asked to identify what the painting was, answered that he didn’t know. My dad supplied the answer. He said "That’s crap that’s what that is." Obviously, he wasn’t fooled. Yay dad!]
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
They didn’t know of the internet back then but look at the rest of it.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." Just take a look at Will and Grace, Two and a Half Men.
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch." (What was Rev Wright’s church?)
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. (It’s now referred to by those who don’t agree with what’s in it as "a living, breathing document". This way, the Constitution can be pulled and twisted and mutilitated and morphed into whatever is necessary to push anything anti-American.)
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man." (They’re referred to as slave owners. Therefore, they were too rich to have come up with a document that would address the needs of all)
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. Don’t forget the reference he made in his own book to the Marxist professors that Obama bragged about hanging out with.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. (Trace back the political correctness movement. It was installed to accomplish this one without laws, congress, or legislation, using public opinion or mostly perceived public opinion through using editing, ridicule, and influence peddling)
