Socialism depends on victims for its very existence.
under the guise of rewarding the helpless and caring
for people it elevates incompetence to a virtue
worthy of the sacrifice of others,
indeed dependent on the
sacrifice of others for its mere survival.
You've heard it said that this is an age of moral
crisis and that Man's sins are destroying the world.
But your chief virtue has been sacrifice, and you've
demanded more sacrifices at every disaster. You've
sacrificed justice to mercy and happiness to duty.
So how could things turn out differently.
The world is only the product of your sacrifices.
While you were dragging the men who made your
happiness possible to your sacrificial altars, you
were playing a dangerous game. Rewarding ineptitude
while condemning productivity has driven the majority
of our nations production off shore. Plus a large
portion of the real producers. The people who sought
to do their best no matter where it would take them.
I am trying to
explain the consequences of your
'brother-love' morality, which you have been
too
innocently generous to understand.
I stand against your creed of unearned rewards and
unrewarded duties. I teach the morality of Reason,
that it is right to pursue one's own happiness as
one's principal goal in life. I don't consider the
pleasure of others my goal in life, nor do I consider
my pleasure the goal of anyone else's life.
I am a trader. I earn what I get in trade for what I
produce. I ask for nothing more or nothing less than
what I earn. That is justice. I don't force anyone
to
trade with me. I only trade for mutual benefit.
Force is the great evil that has no place in a rational free
world. One may never force another human to act
against his/her judgment. If you deny a man's right to
Reason, you
must also deny your right to your own
judgment.
Yet socialism is a world run by means of
force, by men who claim that fear and joy are equal
incentives, but that fear and force are more practical.
We've allowed such men to occupy positions of power in
the world by preaching that all men are evil from the
moment they're born.
When men believe this, they see
nothing wrong in acting in any way they please. The
name of this absurdity is 'original sin'. That's
impossible. That which is outside the possibility of
choice is also outside the province of morality. To
call sin that which is outside man's choice is a
mockery of justice. To
say that men are born with a
free will but with a tendency toward evil is
ridiculous. If the tendency is one of choice, it
doesn't come at birth. If it is not a tendency of
choice, then man's will is not free.
And then there's the 'brother-love' morality. Why is
it moral to serve others, but not yourself? If
enjoyment is a value, why is it moral when
experienced by others, but not by you?
Why is it immoral to produce something of value and keep it
for yourself, when it is moral for others who haven't earned it
to accept it? If it's virtuous to give, isn't it then
selfish to take?
Your acceptance of the code of selflessness has made
you fear the man who has a dollar less than you
because it makes you feel that that dollar is
rightfully his.
You hate the man with a dollar more
than you because the dollar he's keeping is
rightfully yours.
This code has made it impossible to know when
to give and when to grab.
You know that you can't
give away everything and
starve yourself. You've forced yourselves to live with
undeserved, irrational guilt. Is it ever proper to
help another man? No, not if he demands it as his
right or as a duty that you owe him. Yes, if it's your
own free choice based on your judgment of the value of
that person and
his struggle. This country wasn't
built by men who sought handouts. In its
brilliant
youth, this country showed the rest of the world what
greatness was possible to Man and what happiness is
possible on Earth.
Then it began apologizing for its greatness and
began giving away its wealth, feeling guilty for having
produced more than its neighbors.
Years ago, I saw what was wrong with the world and where the
battle for Life had to be fought. I saw that the enemy was an
inverted morality and that my acceptance of that
morality was its only
power. That is why it always
seeks new ways to enforce its power. Perceived
power
is its only means of survival.
To those of you who retain some remnant of dignity and
the will to live your lives for yourselves, you have
the chance to make the same choice. Examine your
values and understand that you must choose one side or
the
other. Any compromise between good and evil only
hurts the good and helps the evil.
If you've understood what I've said, stop supporting
your destroyers. Don't accept their philosophy.
Those who run for office based on the principles
of
socialism have no place in a Free Republic.
They are the destroyers of the free world. The servants of the
behind the scenes power brokers. They seek to exploit
your compassion. Your destroyers hold you by means
of your endurance, your generosity, your innocence, and your love.
Don't exhaust
yourself to help build the
kind of world that you see around you now.
In the name of the best within you, don't sacrifice the world
to those who will take away your happiness for it.
The world will change when you are ready to pronounce this oath:
I
swear by my Life and my love of it that I will
never live for the sake of
another man,
nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine.
True Capitalism on the other hand demands the best
of every man, his rationality, his reason, and rewards
him accordingly. It leaves every man free to
choose
the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his
product for the products of others, and to go as far
on the road of achievement as his ability and
ambition will carry him. And to allow others to do the same by
virtue of his own ambition reason applied to the
trades he makes with others for the
products of
their own best efforts.
