Socialists Are Big Babies

As I wile away the hours at work when I have nothing substantial to do, I occasionally engage in debates via chat. It's frustrating because even before I have my full thought typed out, my friend (who shall remain nameless, but you know who you are) is already spewing his rebuttal. And he often times veers off course and gets me rather frustrated with the whole thing. So I turn to this venue to say exactly what I want to say without any tedious interruptions. Read it and weep.

There are several reasons why I feel that socialists are just a bunch of whiny babies. First, and foremost, socialism is touted by the poor and unfortunate - you will never hear Bill Gates or Donald Trump (although both are socially retarded douchebags) wax poetic on the virtues of abolishing capitalism. Why? Because they are bloody rich and powerful, and they'd like to keep it that way. If a socialist hit the $50m jackpot tomorrow, do you think he would carry on the fight for complete economic equality? Do you think he would take that fat stack of cash and divvy it up amongst his fellow man? "Here's a nice used Yugo for you, oh, and for you we have an equally shitty 1985 Corolla..." Lord knows I am an ardent optimist, but I hesitate to think that's how it would play out. Poor people are socialists because they are angry that other people have acquired wealth and success. Big whiny babies. It doesn't anger them because they have a belief that it is fundamentally wrong (I will NEVER comprehend what is wrong with achieving your goals and becoming successful, financially or otherwise) - no, it angers them because THEY don't have it. Like any little kid who sees everyone else on the block enjoying their delicious cherry flavored popsicle on a warm summer day, while he is left with nothing but a free hand to scratch his lil balls with, he is JEALOUS. He wants what everyone else has but is too lazy to run upstairs and get his own popsicle, or too wimpy to knock another kid down and steal his. PUSSY! Stop whining and pursue your own dreams. Find out what you're great at (besides endless bitching) and make some money doing it. Surround yourself with the people and things you love and life will be peachy keen. If you can't, of your own accord, be successful and get the things you want, then suck it up. Just because you can't have what you want, you shouldn't feel justified in taking it away from those who can. It's like that whole ban on the honor roll bullshit that's sweeping the nation - wouldn't want your precious snowflake to feel left out because he is an idiot compared to the smart kid in class! No no, don't celebrate someone else's accomplishment, better to hide it so your kid never has to feel the pain of being a MORON. Maybe the little bastard should have studied harder. And, if I may point out, the ONLY parents cheezed about the honor roll are the ones that have kids that aren't on it!


Anyone read Harrison Bergeron and see the chilling correlation?



Moving along to my second point. Christ, I am still so heated on that last one, what the hell was my second point? Oh! I got it now. Are socialists so fucking inept and immersed in their own fantasy world that they would actually DESIRE a more controlling, more all-encompassing central government? Haven't we already skewed ourselves so horribly far from our founding fathers beaten path? Wasn't America initially conceived as a country free from an overbearing central government? It's hard to recall because I was one of the smart kids in the class and often had to sleep while my 8th grade teacher was still reviewing the fundamentals of grammar with 90% of my class. I am pretty sure though that the concept was to have strong local government which would be a voice of the local community.


See, the thing is, you can have socialism to a point. To a very teeny tiny point. For example, if you have a cooperative of like-minded individuals, who want to carry on their lives in a certain fashion, it makes great sense to consolidate and form your own community and governing system. You get to share the benefits of being part of a social community that hold similar values and have the same needs. Wonderful notion on a SMALL scale. Multiply that concept by billions of individuals and you have yourself one hell of a problem. The problem is simply in the numbers. The vast population of people that have absolutely nothing in common with YOU; people that have their own ideas, wants, needs and values. So now you instill a government (and we all know how much everyone agrees with our elected officials on a consistent and faithful basis), that will hold many of the cards, forcing many people to live their lives in such a way that doesn't at all resemble what they would have wanted. Again, I call on the big baby factor. A socialist wants everyone to acquiesce to their way of life, regardless of the fact that it's not what everyone wants! Again, simply because the socialist thinks its best for you.


I am a very young woman, and I am already sick to death of my government and my society choking me with what they believe is best for me. It reminds me of an article I read over the holidays about some enraged parents who were protesting the class Christmas (sorry, holiday) outing. Apparently, each year, the school allowed each class to attend a community play. That year, it was going to be "A Christmas Carol", which many of the children were looking forward to. Some of the parents protested citing that the production was not inclusive of all faiths, and was not specifically about Jesus, so therefore, of no value to the children. The parents of the children who disagreed, and pointed out that many of the kids looked forward to this event all year, were pushed to the side and the outing was canceled. Now, I have to sit here and wonder why in the world the protesting parents didn't simply keep their kids home that day? If you, as an individual, do not want your child to participate in a particular activity, why not leave it at that? It's not as if the play was offensive or inappropriate. Why do you assume you have the right to take it away from those that do? Why would you think it is perfectly ok to obliterate another parents choice? Because you are, at heart, a whiny pussbag socialist who thinks that everyone should do what you want them to do. This illustrates my point that socialism, on a large and diverse scale, cannot work. No matter how much you think you are giving to all, you are eventually taking away from someone. And why is your need or desire more important than someone elses?


Getting back to the overbearing central government. To have a government, who currently can barely manage a city transit system or highway repairs, be in charge of our major utilities, hospitals, all schools, and most likely any business that gets too big, scares the living shit out of me. I can't conceive of having to pony up an even greater portion of my taxes, which are already squandered anyway, to a bunch of fuckfaces that I didn't specifically appoint to a position of authority. Our government is already an arrogant, self-serving hypocritical mass of useless flesh, and they are supposed to run everything that has a direct impact on my life?!? Someone get me a vomit bag. Our government, who is currently engrossed in lively debate over the preachings of a candidates spiritual leader, is going to have the competence to run MORE of our nations businesses? In case no one has noticed, and of course the government would never admit to it, they can't do most of the jobs they have already. Children already investigated by the welfare system are dying due to neglect or malice. Adults who have no real disability are living off my taxes because they are too lazy to work but manage to work the loopholes in the law. Schools are degraded cesspools that are run by administrators who seem to spend more time worrying about a class outing than educating our children. We are trapped in a senseless war that has put our economy into a recession. Our leaders cannot admit when they are wrong and change their course of action for the betterment of our future for fear that their livelihood or reputation will be diminished. And a socialist wants to put MORE responsibility on our government? Forgive me for being dizzy and confused with my inability to comprehend this.


I had more points, but they will have to keep for another time. I am sure that my raving here will only land me in a very long IM session this week, so I should save my energy. I know some would consider this all very pessimistic, but I would disagree. Reality and pessimism are two different things. I am optimistic in my belief that humanity has the capacity to do some amazing things. I believe that the world could be a wonderful place for all to live and thrive. But I also realistically know that with our extremely divergent population, it won't happen any time soon. But when it's all said and done, I still wake up every single day and HOPE for the best.
