Was just post pondering bumper stickers one that came to mind is "voting is for communists"
We are getting there, but we are not there yet.
While it's getting bad, it's nowhere close to how bad the late stage of communist Czechoslovakia was. Which was kinda mild in comparison to 1950s Czechoslovakia when all the private enterprize was violently abolished by communist mobs. Which was probably just a mild version of what was happening in russia and china.
So if you think this is bad, well... this is still great.
Its bad. Because something could be worse doesn't make it good
Democracy today is neo-communism (I like to call it that).
The difference with classical communism is that neo-communism does not seek to abolish private property, what it seeks is to usurp all wealth generated through private property, which includes your salary.
Your property rights are granted by the state. Not sure what's private about that.
Right, it really is a pantomine the current private property.
The important distinction is no one is throwing you out of "your property" by unchecked physical violence and throwing you in prison (if you're lucky) just for owning a business. These people didn't hesitate to kill you in front of your children and then throw the the children out of their home to take care of themselves at the mercy of strangers (that would risk their own freedom by helping "rich mans child").
Later this became institucionalized.
Later it become watered down, because they run out of stuff to steal and everything declined into a grey depresing misery with occasional glimmers of hope (crushed by soviet tanks in 1968).
No, my property rights are granted by the fact that if you steal my shit without the state backing you up I'll kill you. 😂
Ah the plight of the socially inept
