The Destruction of the
Karl Marx was very correct in his summation that “The history of all hitherto existing society [2] is the history of class struggles.[1]” The footnote “[2]” relates to some sophomoric writings that “showed” that communism was the primitive early human ground state before government and capitalism destroyed that pristine system and forced antagonism among the newly formed classes. This is in fact a truism if you stipulate that the ‘poor’ have not benefited from the elevation of humans from ignorance, fair government and trade from the pitiful ground state of poverty and disease. But, this form of egalitarian politics cannot allow such an advancement as it only widens the spaces between the inevitable social strata that spontaneously form. The elites must intervene and conquer or suppress capitalism if they are to restore ‘natural’ society.
Our social systems were founded not upon equality, as there is no such thing in groups above a count of say 20[2], but on capitalism[3] [even in primitive societies] where jobs and performances on those jobs were assessed by local leaders and adjustments to the work force made if necessary. In cases where individuals have an ‘equal chance’ to be decision makers, this notion allows blunders, sometimes fatal to the community, and burdens those remaining to suffer from bad decisions resulting with an alteration of the food supply or war with other locals. We are clearly not equal as we can see form standardized cognitive skill tests [IQs] [4] that are now suppressed because they ‘discriminate’ against certain minorities. This a fact because, strangely, IQ tests sort out people by the cognitive tendency “g” and indeed sort out averages[5] in races according to the average scores for any tabulated society taken from those tests. The fact that Asians score an average of about 101-102 compared to 100 for Caucasians[6] is not illustrative for the left who know that many of their constituents, aligned in racial groups, have an average of only IQ = 85, a full standard deviation [15 points] below whites and Asians. Indeed, if even part of the IQ differential is accepted by the left then that argues for more ‘education’ to help bring up the average.[7] The salient fact that IQ can be accurately measured in 5-7 different ways and does not depend on advanced education is ignored. The nostrum that IQ can be enhanced with education is a farce that is perpetuated by liberals.
Marx and his rants may be taken at face value only if we ignore capitalism. Thus, we note that capitalism is the premier barrier to advances in the so-called socialist theories of governance. Marx is focused on demonizing those who are successful in assembling teams with jobs given to match those with the appropriate attributes because such teams are frequently successful and, in competition on any scale, rise above the chaos of primitive socialism.
The placement of people in key jobs is central to the notion of efficiently and this effect tends to allow a concentration of wealth among the gross masses if interactions among classes are allowed. This interaction allows the evil ‘exploitation of the masses’ to proceed and the zero-sum rule is necessary to add in with the complaints as proof that any comparison of assets among all groups is proof that that wealth was gained unfairly.
The solution to this dilemma is two fold: [1] destroy capitalism and [2] institute a government of enlightened persons who will force a sharing of wealth so that every citizen might be essentially ‘equal’ to all others. Now, back in 1775 when those skilled in history and politics began to construct our Constitution these forces were clearly understood. King George
Government was then changed into a form where the separate colonies operated a federal union with a host of barriers against the growth and power of government tending toward tyranny. Thus the representative governments in several states might use their power to control the federal government and prevent abuse to the citizens.
This process did what it was supposed to do: it enabled capitalism and proscribed the power of government that might threaten this economic process and hand power to a few who would ‘govern’ according to whatever they thought to be correct at the time. This process made the
This leads to phony interpretations of the law as we see in the case of defeating 7 million votes in
“"Proposition 8 violates the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution by taking away the right of same-sex couples to marry, without a sufficient governmental interest," Brown said.”[8]-- District Judge Vaughn Walker, a gay who should have recused himself.
This ‘right’ is arbitrary and could be applied to any endeavor such as smoking dope or prostitution or sexually abusing children. All it takes is some radical activist judge to ‘find’ that right somewhere in the dumpsters and change the law. They found such a stooge.
Apart from that, the far left needs to buy off the voters with monies stolen or abstracted from the right and the current notion of paying off mortgage holders whose mortgages are higher than their current house price is a classic:
“An estimated 15 million
“2) Wall Street banks are alerting their clients privately to this possibility. Here is what some are cautiously saying publicly. This from Goldman Sachs:
This would be a direct transfer of money to potential constituents using debt as the vehicle and sticking the taxpayers with even more debt that the 14 trillion they have now that equates to 14 t/65 m or $215,384.62 for every taxpayer above the median. [10] This is a socialist’s dream come true.
This is how it works so get set to watch more of your wealth and assets transferred to the ‘poor’ guided by the gentle hands of the liberals.

[4] Unintelligent Design in the World Economic System and the Economic Path Downward.
“One of the main follies in the human process is that workable ideas and social systems cannot work effectively for everybody so the necessity to redesign or improve the existing system draws power and strength from the dissatisfied. When given a chance to vote, the lower classes always strive to vote money for themselves.[4]This process proceeds even though the disgruntled may become worse off from the effects of the new design. The solution thus, monotonously, becomes an urgent need for more government. When we hear that we must ‘do something for the people,’ the people, whoever they are, eventually absorb the full brunt of the failure from this ‘something’ and suffer from starvation, government, poverty or disease. Part of this frantic quest for alternatives to proven viable economic and social systems has produced disasters like the French Revolution[4], the Russian Revolution, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution[4] and many others. Many of the citizens of these movements fell under programs like The Reign of Terror[4], Dekulakization[4], The Russian Purges,[4] the famine in the Ukraine known as Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомор translation: death by starvation)[4] and events such as in the sadistic genocide of innocents by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge political party in Cambodia[4], There are too many examples of this madness to even list by title. So, the quest for power and wealth by political operatives goes on under new names, the current one being ‘economic stimulus’ or, in my wording, unintelligent design.”
