Dear Friends,
It seems to me that most people have an innate need to be productive and resent it if circumstances prevent it. I also think this is a major reason people are so dissatisfied in the European countries. Discord, like riots largely by young, unemployed or underemployed, youths. People with too much time on their hands. They are fed by the State. They are clothed by the State. They are housed by the State. And they resent it. Their resentment is manifested in riots.
Socialism, progressivism, and communism (SPC) smothers the need to be productive with the pillow of a cradle to grave mentality. An ethos of work is replaced with the chant that work is a means of exploiting the workers. Soon thereafter the foundation of an economy, the working person, is drunk by Ten AM instead of at coffee break…
A man, drunk all day and supported by the State, is an angry man. His innate need is not being met. He doesn’t know why he is angry but he is livid. When a need is not met anger is the result. The rest of us are threatened by his anger. So why make more angry people?
To increase the need for government. Machiavelli said a corrupt people can never be free. So when normal societal structures break down people will turn to a more and more autocratic government to provide them freedom. They don’t get security and loose liberty. The State replaces the thug as oppressor… With the thug always lurking in the background.
Now, I don’t believe that the Elite, consciously, want a breakdown in societal structure, to facilitate their evolution into power. I think they are inept at governing. Their actions and policies lead the masses to corruption, (destroying the work ethic). This corruption of the masses feeds back into the need for government. The only beneficiaries are the Elite… The beast begins growing by eating itself and every thing else it comes to… Eventually starving once everything has been consumed.
All because an innate human need is undermined by the State. Nations that have giant populations should see the people as a resource that can be tapped to improve the lives of it’s people. The people’s innate need to be productive will manifest itself. All government needs to do to facilitate this process… is to stand aside and let it happen.
I know, I know, impossible for government…
