>>14224072Socialism is, in fact and in practice, a religion, whose premise is that an earthly heaven, in which there is satisfaction and survival for all, is practical and feasible. This constitutes a prayer, and a dogmatic belief structure, since economic and biological reality exists in opposition to this Garden of Eden-type dream, which in the socialist arrangement, is recreated with the state playing the role of God meteing out judgment and providing for all, in a monotheistic structure evolved out of Sozzini's Socinianism and other utopian egalitarian works arising in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries and now existing as the predominant religion on the planet today. The socialist system's core tenet being the forcible redistribution of the products of one's labor from those who produce more to those produce less, which results in the elimination of the rewards of productivity over time and the penalties of non-productivity, leading to the destruction of cooperation, competition, invention, and finally evolution-- which is why informational annihilation campaigns are required in such regimes, which devolve into campaigns of mass murder in the final stage, which is fascism.
just so you know.
otherwise, I'm not so delusional as to think that I can convince the world to drop their faith, I've only got so much time on Earth lol, I know enough about history to know that things are the same from beginning to end.
