Famous American socialist Norman Thomas said, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation...”
This has come to pass under liberalism. We have almost all planks of Karl Marx's communist manifesto, the basis for socialism, in our laws or regulations today. From financial planks like “progressive income tax” where the rich pay a higher tax rate than others to free public education paid by the state with education tilted towards industrial production, in other words, we don’t want our children thinking too much.
I could go on about Karl Marx, a thoroughly despicable individual who abandoned his children and lived off the contributions of dupes, but I’d rather talk about Occupy Wall Street which echoes his writings.
These people are truly without an original thought. Also, if we did what these demonstrators wanted, pension funds (they're Wall Street invested) would go bankrupt, college endowments (same) which supports the Occupiers’ educations would go broke, and the United States treasury would be empty because the top 1 % in income whose wealth the Occupiers want to destroy pay 38% of the federal taxes; the bottom 50 % pay zero. These 1 % also are the job creators and primary charity givers.
One unoriginal thought that's also too common in the protesters is anti-Semitism. (Which eventually always surfaces with fascism; private ownership, government control because; of course, the Jews own everything. To steal you demonize). What the Tea Party didn't do but was accused of doing, is seen and heard in these protests; bigotry. But unfairly, the Jews have dealt with this for ages. In 1923, David Lloyd George, one of Britain’s Greatest Prime Minister’s said, “Of all the bigotries ... there is none that is as stupid as the anti-Semitic. In the sight of these fanatics, Jews can do nothing right.
If labor is oppressed by great capital, the greed of the Jews is held responsible. If labor revolts against capital-as it did in Russia-the Jew is blamed for that also. If he lives in a strange land he must be persecuted and pogrommed (murdered) out of it. If he wants to go back to his own (land) he must be prevented.”
Of course, anti-Zionism signs have found their way into the Occupy Wall Street crowds. Interestingly, the people holding them probably have no knowledge of history as it actually happened.
Land was set aside for Jews by the League of Nations, not the Balfour Declaration or the U.N. The U.N. when established under its charter had to honor previous treaties under the League. Not only was the yet unnamed, but Jewish, Israel eventually created because of a League treaty, so was every other Middle East Nation eventually created by that same treaty for none of them had existed for thousands of years.
The Jews also bought the land they entered into. It had been almost deserted for centuries. Most of the now called Palestinians ( until 1967, only Israeli Jews were referred to as Palestinians) are different people groups who followed the Jews into the land as the Jews made it bloom, not the reverse.
But not knowing or perhaps not caring about the facts of the free market or the growing religious hatred in their ranks doesn't stop these Occupiers. And as in Hitler's Occupied Europe, the American media again ignores anti-Semitism, but this time in Occupied Wall Street.
