Liberal Vs. Conservative, a play on words to enslave
a nation, Part 3a
By Harry Felker
The Four Philosophies Political Theory
In regards to politics, I have shown the political
spectrum as a triangle (shown below) and reasoned
the philosophies attached as Liberalism, Statism,
Left Wing and Right Wing.
Three of the four, all but liberalism, share the
feature of increased government, in most versions,
to the annihilation of the individual, liberalism
stands alone as the only philosophy that promotes
individualism. I intend to answer the questions;
what is the objective definitions and goals of each
of these political philosophies, what are the
features of each of these philosophies in comparison
to their diametric opposites and which is best for
most people, through objective reasoning.
Jokers to the Left, Clowns to the Right
The left and right wings of politics are available
to be observed in every nation, though in America,
unlike foreign nations, we refuse to call these
concepts what they truly are, it is seemingly taboo
in major media, and as such have worked their way
out of common sense in the American people. It is
necessary to identify these concepts as they are in
earnest if we are to discuss them rationally, and
since this has not been prevalent in modern America,
I can only assume that the best one can hope for is
an irrational voting pool, though more common would
seem to be absent voters.
So what is the Left exactly? In every instance
outside of America the left is designated as the
Communist or Labor Party. In the United States it is
called the Democrat Party, one would assume that if
this is the case, the left here should line up with
communism. Let us look at the objective definition
of Communism and the platform of the Democrat Party:
Merriam-Webster: Communism (1)
Main Entry: com·mu·nism
Pronunciation: \ˈkäm-yə-ˌni-zəm, -yü-\
Function: noun
Etymology: French communisme, from commun common
Date: 1840
1 a: a theory advocating elimination of private
property b: a system in which goods are owned in
common and are available to all as needed
2 capitalized a: a doctrine based on revolutionary
Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the
official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics b: a totalitarian system of government in
which a single authoritarian party controls
state-owned means of production c: a final stage of
society in Marxist theory in which the state has
withered away and economic goods are distributed
equitably d: communist systems collectively
The Democrat Party Platform in short from their site
(2)
The Democratic Party has a long and proud history of
representing and protecting the interests of working
Americans and guaranteeing personal liberties for
all. One of the places we articulate our beliefs is
in the Party's National Platform, adopted every four
years by the Delegates at the National Convention.
(Long form located here
http://www.democrats.org/a/party/platform.html
)
Now I know the Platform seems quite innocuous in the
short order, but when we delve into the I-paper,
expanded, version of the platform, it becomes a
little more eerie, a lot more similar to the 1 b
definition of Communism, which is the ends to
Marxism’s means so to speak. “Today, we pledge a
return to core moral principles like stewardship,
service to others, personal responsibility, shared
sacrifice and a fair shot for all …” (Pg. 6) “We
need a government that stands up for the hopes,
values, and interests of working people…” (Pg. 8)
“health care should be a shared responsibility
between employers, workers, insurers, providers and
government...” (Pg. 10) “…behavioral health
management should be assured for all Americans who
require care coordination… …We should promote
additional tobacco and substance abuse prevention.”
(Pg. 11) “…making sure workers get their fair
share…” (Pg. 14), these quotes from the above link
provided with the Democratic Party platform, are
quite reminiscent of the definition of Marxism (3)
Main Entry: Marx·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈmärk-ˌsi-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1887
: the political, economic, and social principles and
policies advocated by Marx ; especially : a theory
and practice of socialism including the labor theory
of value, dialectical materialism, the class
struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until
the establishment of a classless society
Further I would like to point out Karl Marx’s 10
planks (4):
1. Abolition of private property and the application
of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and
rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the
state, by means of a national bank with State
capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and
transportation in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of
production owned by the state, the bringing into
cultivation of wastelands, and the improvement of
the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of
industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing
industries, gradual abolition of the distinction
between town and country, by a more equitable
distribution of population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public
schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in
its present form. Combination of education with
industrial production.
You will note the appearance of “labor theory value”
and “dictatorship of the proletariat” in the
definition of Marxism, and the few selections are
indicative of the entire platform of the Democratic
Party. One would think that Democratic and Labor
would be completely interchangeable under objective
inspection of the definitions surrounding communism
and the Democratic platform. Democratic Party policy
follows left wing authoritarianism based on the
moral high ground of “serving the masses” just as
Marxism justifies the “dictatorship of the
proletariat” in the effort to establish a “classless
society”. I would also like to note for all those
that believe that the Marx ideal would abolish a
government, this is just not true, it would abolish
classes, no one would be rich or poor as all would
have equal share to all resources, the issue with
this is that as population increases resources
diminish and the ruling class would always exist,
able to extort resources with the power of political
pull. The parallels between the concept of Marxist
Communism and the Democratic Party platform are well
established and apparent, it is to the point that
they do not even hide it, knowing that the
indoctrination of the people would not allow them to
see such a parallel. Which brings us to our other,
more sinister parallel, moral justification for the
annihilation of the individual in the name of the
“greater good”. As seen from the quotes above, the
focus is on the sacrifice of the individual for the
rest of the society, making it the moral imperative
of the individual to sacrifice himself to the
community, and personal achievement is discounted
unless it has social benefit and is given freely to
society.
Another inherently communist government body is the
UN; I will now direct you to the universal
declaration of human rights for my proof, as it is
similar along the lines of Communism and Democratic
Platform (5)
“Article 22.
Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to
social security and is entitled to realization,
through national effort and international
co-operation and in accordance with the organization
and resources of each State, of the economic, social
and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity
and the free development of his personality.”
“Article 23.
(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and
favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his
family an existence worthy of human dignity, and
supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social
protection.”
“Article 24.
Everyone has the right to rest and leisure,
including reasonable limitation of working hours and
periodic holidays with pay.”
“Article 25.
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living
adequate for the health and well-being of himself
and of his family, including food, clothing, housing
and medical care and necessary social services…”
“Article 26.
(1) Everyone has the right to education. Education
shall be free, at least in the elementary and
fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be
compulsory.
(2) Education… shall further the activities of the
United Nations for the maintenance of peace.”
“Article 29.
Everyone has duties to the community in which alone
the free and full development of his personality is
possible.”
So as we can see the apparent left wing bend in the
moral superiority of the greater good is a
fundamental role of the United Nations, and it
leaves little to the imagination that the authority
is not upon the individual to live his life but
rather to the community. Expanded to the
international community with the UN, one can only
imagine the standard of living when free competition
for goods and services is replaced by this system
world wide, which coincidentally, or maybe not so
much, was what Marx prophesized with his philosophy
of communism, a world wide expansion. It seems that
the UN is making Marx’s dream a reality, through
international authority, which according to it’s
charter it was always intended to have (6) in a
military sense. (READ ON TO
