Roots of Socialism
Jun 21st, 2009 by Randy Toman
The “Socialism” that is coming our way is of a much stronger strain and has metamorphosed already into Marxism. The Socialism of the early 1800’s lost its battle with the Statesman of that period and had to wait until after the “Civil War” and the enlightenment of Marx because he was the one that developed the 3 prong attack on the reasoning of the time. Marx’s, and the “Social Gospel” of the late 1800’s, along with the “progressive movement” of the early 20th century completely over whelmed the thinking of the time, as we fast forward to 2009, we see the completion of this type of thinking and the dismantling of our society.
Lugwig Von Mises (1881-1973) 1922 “Socialism” an Economic and Sociological Analysis in the Preface to the second German edition Vienna, January 1932 we have Mises laying out Marx’s three critical axioms needed to destroy any ability of the American people to defend themselves.
Allow me to give you the three in my words:
1. A denial of logic as a valid way of getting to universal truth and there could be no fixed truths from God. The Socialist refuted all logic and reasoning as “Bourgeois” reasoning, condemning “Capitalism” as something evil. We see this as coming into full play today with all the “Emotionalism” and “Feel Goodism” of the day. Their statements of the situation with their “Emotionalism” will always be a truth, while the logical statements will be called false. We have seen this now since President Obama has taken office, there is no truth in “Capitalism” and they/it must be controlled because of their evilness. All the while the elite good guys of government have the truth.
2. They say and believe, that the dialectical development and the resulting tension will always lead to “Socialism” and truth. But in reality the dialectical tension leads to the negation of negation and chaos for everyone, but the elite who cannot nor will not believe that, they (the socialist) will always put forth some false premise, all the while claiming truth, and grabbing power with control.
3. Never claim to have a “Socialist Promise Land” and/or “Utopian” but rather always offer some resolution, which is assured to work, all the while adding chaos and confusion to the issue. Never accept logic and reason as a platform from which to argue any position.
We have these 3 axioms coming into play with Global Warming, Closing of the Borders, Monetary policy (its insanity to think borrowing can solve the problem). The problems facing the American people cannot be solved unless the American people start to see this deeper problem. Because of this lack of seeing the deeper problem they can never solve anything, for they are not attacking the root but a branch and that will never kill the problem. Socialism will continue to drive the American people farther and farther into chaos, defeat and finally destruction of a once great nation.
”We The People— Shall See”, if God will have mercy on us.
