There is a large group of U.S. adults who will vote for and philosophically defend the position that theft from productive members of society and businesses should be enforced by the state and that plundered wealth be reallocated to provide free housing and “harm reduction” to homeless criminal drug addicts.

Truly insane and unbelievable.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

They need to see that the “rulers” are the ones creating the “need” for the theft to begin with.

I don’t know if a better way for people to learn than through suffering, unfortunately. I keep thinking we’ve got to hit a sort of rock-bottom before this takes root. Maybe that means the 2%-ers being unable to have a living wage (and think of how fucked everyone else will be).

The ruling class wouldn’t exist without theft. And what morally justifiable and sustainable system can be built on that axiom? I argue it is literally impossible. And this is why all forms of governance fail.
