The lefts collective insanity

The cognitive dissonance of the left is best understood as a conflict between their desires for material equality versus freedom. Freedom of choice and trade yields vast inequality; it can be no other way. The cognitive dissonance manifests on one hand whilst pursuing material equality and freedom from the oppression of inequality on the other. Yet both freedom and material equality are in a state of complementarity to each other. Inequality creates a perception of fear and jealousy in leftists, they fear for needy and they fear the power of the greedy, they side with the “victims” of inequality and seek freedom from repression of the greedy. When their attempts at creating material equality will fail under freedom, as it must since it is freedom that creates inequality, they suspect forces at play, specifically ‘elites’ are undermining their agenda and they swing towards hatred. The failure of socialist policy is invariably blamed on sabotage, it’s always some ‘elite’ who are interfering with egalitarian outcomes. The complementarity of equality and freedom evades their powers of observation. There can be no stability in leftist politics, because they can only move towards outcome of material equality by increasingly violating freedom and through authoritarian means becoming the repressive elites they despise, entering a stage of self-loathing. Material Egalitarianism is a subtle and often not so subtle form of collective insanity.

socialists run out of other people money

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/socialists-cut-spains-welfare-state-riling-spaniards/2011/05/19/AFr6go7G_story.html

Why is money for nothing so attractive to people that they think it will keep droping from the heavens for ever?

The reality is money comes from people who create prosperity not from the government. Take away the free lolipops and the recipients take to the streets to get them back…

Gillard’s great give away show

Now the Australian federal government wants to give away set top boxes to the elderly for $400 a pop.

Apparently the poor dears can’t cope with a switch to digital tv and government has to step in and help them out with a free set top box and free instalation.

Seems everyone these days has a safety net, the elderly, the “poor”, the unemployed, pregnant couples, large banks, huge insurance companies, strugling car makers…
