I quote in full a comment written by one “Lucius_Severus_Pertinax”. The subject is Marxism and Marxists.
“‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.’
“The above is in page One, paragraph One of the Marxist Creed. At first glance, it sounds pretty reasonable; but there is a problem….
“It means, invariably, that Someone Else is going to be deciding what it is YOU need. That Someone Else, doing the deciding, will always hasten to assure you THEY are better qualified to decide what it is YOU need than YOU are.
“And, it should be noted, that it is but a small step from deciding what it is you NEED to deciding what it is YOU can HAVE.
“If you don’t agree with them, there will be places where you can be ‘re-educated’ to a better appreciation of their wisdom.
“This is how Marxism is practiced, how it is lived, in the real world. One would think that anyone that would want to live in such a world is either deluded or insane.
“The question is raised of why, after century of theft, rapine, repression, torture and murder, on an unprecedented global scale, Marxism still retains, overtly or otherwise, as many adherents as it does.
“The answer is simple: those that push the idea of Marxism or Marxist agendas the hardest are convinced that, THEY, once Marxism is established, will be among those doing the Deciding.
“Thus are their true motives revealed: a lust for power over the lives, the livelihoods, and, ultimately, the minds, of people they regard as their Moral and Intellectual inferiors.”
