Every step that leads away from private ownership of the means of production and the use of money is a step away from rational economic activity. ...<br /><br />Without calculation, economic activity is impossible. Since under Socialism economic calculation is impossible, under Socialism there can be no economic activity in our sense of the word. In small and insignificant things rational action might still persist. But, for the most part, it would no longer be possible to speak of rational production. In the absence of criteria of rationality, production could not be consciously economical.<br /><br />from:<br />Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis<br />by Ludwig von Mises (1st published in 1951)<br /><br />PART II THE ECONOMICS OF A SOCIALIST COMMUNITY, Chapter 5, The Nature of Economic Activity<br /><br />Page 105 in the pdf:<br />http://mises.org/books/socialism.pdf<br /><br />-- theBuckWheat<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-29699536494676068342016-01-19T22:41:59.606-05:002016-01-19T22:41:59.606-05:00Václav Havel: The Power of the Powerless (the soc...Václav Havel: The Power of the Powerless (the social and spiritual consequences of socialism)<br /><br />"The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth." Havel warns that socialist regimes create and enforce their own truth to maintain power. As time goes on, this truth diverges from factual truth and it increasingly forces those who support and depend upon the power of the regime to corrupt themselves to sustain the artificial truth. <br /><br />In the end, people not only lie to each other, but they start to lie to themselves.<br /><br />see:<br />http://www.vaclavhavel.cz/showtrans.php?cat=clanky&val=72_aj_clanky.html&typ=HTML<br /><br /><br /><br />The permanent lie becomes the only safe form of existence, in the same way as betrayal. Every wag of the tongue can be overheard by someone, every facial expression observed by someone. Therefore every word, if it does not have to be a direct lie, is nonetheless obliged not to contradict the general, common lie. There exists a collection of ready-made phrases, of labels, a selection of ready-made lies.”<br /><br />– Alexander Solzhenitsyn on the pervasiveness of lies in the socialist society<br /><br /><br />-- theBuckWheat<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-60500079807633237172016-01-19T22:40:38.656-05:002016-01-19T22:40:38.656-05:00What does it say about liberals (er, now "pro...What does it say about liberals (er, now "progressives") who look willing to nominate for their candidate a man who ran for Senate as an "independent" and who is an avowed socialist?<br /><br />In case it has slipped anyone's mind, socialism is the fraudulent ideology where people vote for the government to force everyone to live at the expense of everyone else. Anyone who has read the Bible should see how this must directly violate the Commandments that forbid coveting and theft. When socialism was first proposed, it was said that workers would have higher wages and greater personal prosperity. After 100 million people died while trying and failing to make that come true, the public is now told they must vote for socialism so as to make society more "equitable." <br /><br />Never mind that the people who are advocating socialism are some of the wealthiest people in the country. Socialism is built on the ideology determining truth, which itself is a grand lie, yet another Commandment violated.<br /><br />Socialism is the enemy of humans and human progress. It is evil and it must be stopped.<br /><br />-- theBuckWheat<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-36043264797301221012016-01-19T22:28:19.171-05:002016-01-19T22:28:19.171-05:00I've handled classified material, including TS...I've handled classified material, including TS/SCI and SAP.
