1.
Euphoric rush of excitement from the
installation “new” ideals;
2.
Punishment of those who stood against the
revolution (it usually doesn’t take long to get around to murder with
leftists);
3.
Slow decent into failure, as the centrally
planned economy begins to falter;
4.
Reduction in freedoms to the point that people
can’t do anything about the failures without risking imprisonment and
persecution;
5.
Massive, violent, retributive punishment of
people who speak out against the failures;
6.
Nationalization of industry after industry so
that the vampire state can bleed them dry of their capital and maintain its
existence for another couple of years;
7.
Massive failure of every nationalized industry;
8.
Massive failure of the economy and supply
chains. Simple things like toilet paper
are nearly impossible to find. People
begin to hoard goods out of fear of not knowing when they will be able to get
them next, resulting in more supply issues;
9.
Government passes laws against hoarding, to no
avail;
10.
Government begins to respond violently and
retributively to almost anything at all.
11.
Authoritarianism, pennilessness, and want drives
people away in droves;
12.
Authoritarian government forces people to stay
against their will;
13.
Many die.
Darkness sets in. Suffering
occurs, and it does not right itself for years;
14.
People continue to risk their very lives
attempting to escape, despite “shoot on site” orders and, in the case of Cuba,
90 miles of rough, tumultuous seas with no decent vessel to navigate it
with. The government kills those that it
finds attempting to escape. The sea and
the wilderness kill many more. The
remainder end up being refugees in a forgein land, with predicatble negative
results;
15.
Mass imprisonment and murder of citizenry;
Every time. There is
not one example in all of human history where it hasn’t devolved along this
exact chain of events. Every time that
it is attempted, socialism and communism fail.
Back when he was still blogging, TJIC wrote something along the lines of
“if every single time you try to make communism work, it turns into repression,
gulags, murder, and imprisonment, then THAT what communism is, not the
wonderful sounding theory that leftists tout.”
(This is highly paraphrased, since I can’t get on his blog anymore, I
came up with that from memory).
Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela is somewhere around step 11 right
now. God help them all. I pray to whatever god will listen that it
does not proceed past this point. But… …sigh…
…it will. It always does; and my
heart is breaking for the good people of Venezuela, who didn’t deserve what
they are about to be served.
Danny Glover, Sean Penn, and Oliver Stone? You should be fucking ashamed of
yourselves. Thousands will die. Thousands already have died. All with your support and thunderous
applause, you useful idiots. These
aren’t theoretical, nameless people.
These are mothers and fathers, brothers, sisters and friends, dying in
the street because their government fears them so much that they will kill them
before they’ll let their voices be heard.
I’ll also note that the MSM is avoiding the story of
Venezuela’s melt-down like the plague.
Some are acting surprised, but only those who are wholly
ignorant of how these things have gone down in the past. You wonder why I’m against expansion of
government? You wonder why I don’t think
that centralized planning of things like health care and income inequality will
work? It isn’t my opinion – it is
supportable, provable fact that these things will fail spectacularly. Every.
Single. Time.
The “Smartest Man in the Room,” your good President Obama,
wants centralization and expansion of government. He wants socialism. How smart could he possibly be to want these
things, when they’ve resulted in catastrophe every time they’ve been
tried?
At this point in time, can we stop with the “it will work if
the right people are in charge” meme and just accept the fact that socialism
and communism are inextricably linked with misery, suffering, and murder?
Nice bloog
