socialism

When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us, we in essence accept that the state owns our bodies.

If the bulk of the public were really convinced of the illegitimacy of the State, if it were convinced that the State is nothing more nor less than a bandit gang writ large, then the State would soon collapse to take on no more status or breadth of existence than another Mafia gang.

Government programs didn__ arise because the people demanded them or because the free market was unable to provide needed services. They arose because the politicians found them to be a convenient way to buy votes with other people__ money, a convenient way to enlarge their own power, a convenient way to reward their political cronies, and a convenient way to keep people dependent on government.

Some capitalism suffers from cronyism. All of socialism is perverted by the crony statism of the powerful few.

A "centrally planned economy" by definition discourages and despises participation by the masses. It's a bureaucratic oligarchy.

You can either have individual liberty, or dependence on the government. One is designed to undo the other.

The sadist desires to command and control. The masochist desires to be freed from the burdens of liberty. That is Socialism.

In spite of its alluring name, the welfare state stands or falls by compulsion. It is compulsion imposed upon us with the state__ power to punish noncompliance. Once this is clear, it is equally clear that the welfare state is an evil the same as every restriction of freedom.

Freedom is indivisible. As soon as one starts to restrict it, one enters upon a decline on which it is difficult to stop.

The central planners of Democratic Socialism tighten their noose when people resist their plans and assert their rights. All Socialism is intended to devolve into Communism, and as a result, Totalitarianism.

Communism is what happens when Socialists realize that they want complete control over every aspect of human life.

Liberty should be understood as freedom from the government, specifically, freedom from the initiation of physical force by the government.

Government is a gang, but not merely as meritorious as a private gang because it claims legal legitimacy. It pillages and uses violence but under the cover of law, and seeks legitimacy not through competition but through the myth of the social contract.

Eugenics has always been the escape valve of single payer socialized medicine. Havelock Ellis was writing about them as one and the same prior to the fin-de-siecle. Culling out of control population growth and the economic drain of the incurably sick has always been a part of socialized medicine.

The government enforces a monopoly over the production and distribution of its alleged 'services' and brings violence to bear against would-be competitors. In so doing, it reveals the fraud at the heart of its impudent claims and gives sufficient proof that it is not a genuine protector, but a mere protection racket.

The desire to engineer humanity is a sign of a mind warped by megalomania and lust for power.

War has been the necessary and inevitable consequence of the establishment of a monopoly on security.

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private liberty.
