Socialism gave us Hitler, Stalin and Castro.
Capitalism has given the United States one of the greatest economies
in history. An economy that allows us to give out billions of dollars
a year in humanitary aid.
We have the best medical research in the world, the strongest military
in the world, more food than we know what to do with, and on and on
and on.
All of this has led to a country that people die trying to get to.
Which begs the quesion, if Capitalism is such a bad philosophy, what a

What exactly does _Hitler_ have to do with socialism?
You cannot blame socialism for people set up by nationalists and
conservatives to stop it.
Few socialists consider Stalin a socialist.
We can argue about Castro though. I claim he wasn't worse than the
system he replaced.

Maybe because there are better alternatives?

Germany is overrun with immigrants. Sadly they don't accept most of
them. Germany does and did practice a form of socialism.
So to answer your question: you are not the only one who sees it, there
are many others who cannot look a long way beyond their current beliefs
of what the world is or can be.
But you can try to educate yourself.
I would point you to http://www.census.gov and
http://www.statistik-bund.de for a beginning. This will help you compare
the US to other countries.
The CIA World Factbook will also help.
You could also ask a socialist whether Stalin was a socialist.
(Or compare Stalin's policies to Marx's theories if you have the time.)
And ask somebody who speaks German what "Nationalsozialismus" means and
where the word comes from.
It's just a question of education, really.
Do you Americans have the best educational system or do you lack some
knowledge about certain things?

Before WW1 there were three major political factions in Germany: the
conservatives or nationalists, the socialists, and a smaller faction,
the liberals.
The first faction to use "nationalsozial" to describe its own position
was the liberals. "nationalsozial" stood for "national and social" or
"between national and sozial". The liberals were commonly understood as
being in the middle of the political spectrum. They opposed socialism
and also democracy (they were generally monarchists), but they also
opposed nationalism and conservatism. Many liberals were accused of
being "hidden social democrats".
The term "Nationalsozialistisch" does not mean "a version of socialism
that has to do with the nation" as opposed to an international version;
it means "socialism applied to the nation". It's a version of
nationalism, not a version of socialism.
Nationalsocialism rejects socialism (the economy theory of Marx and the
social democrats) and advocates capitalism instead.
The Nazis didn't use the word "Nationalsozialismus" to point out they
were socialists, they used that word to point out that they were not.
Otherwise they wouldn't have convinced anybody, as their members and
voters were not fond of socialism and didn't vote for socialist parties.
The theorem "Nazis are socialists" came up much later, after WW2.

"National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (German) = "National
Socialist German Workers' Party" (English). German abbreviation : NSDAP.
The term "Nazi" comes from the 1st syllable of the 1st word and the 2nd
syllable of the 2nd word.

Ron Allen answers:
Andrew, as I understand German Nazism, its principles were
adopted from Italian Fascism. And that is why I regard
Nazism was a statist substitute, or a surrogate, for
socialism. This is because Mussolini was a right-wing
nationalist, who was a former socialist journalist. I
postulate/speculate that Mussolini, as a former socialist,
was well aware of Bolshevism, and so I hypothesize that
Mussolini's Fascism was derived/descended from Lenin's
Bolshevism. In other words, Mussolini's Fascism was a
perversion/corruption of socialism, just as Lenin's
Bolshevism was a decadent/degenerate version of socialism.
Mussolini founded the Fascist Party in 1919, and he was
able to establish his dictatorship in 1922, when he became
Prime Minister. His dictatorship lasted from 1925-43.
Interestingly, Joseph Stalin became General Secretary of
the Communist Party in 1922, and we all know about how his
dictatorship evolved during the 1930s.
Benito Mussolini (Fascism), Adolf Hitler (Nazism), and
Francisco Franco (Falangism) were all statists, reacting
against democracy, socialism, and communism. These were
all wrongheaded, but headstrong, statist misuses and
misapplication of socialist ideas -- they misunderstood
and misrepresented socialism, they falsified and subverted
socialism, as much as Bolshevism did. In fact, like so
many, I call Bolshevism "Red Fascism".
Andrew, although I fully agree with you that fascism and
socialism are conflicting ideologies, contradictory and
the reverse of each other, still I believe that a lot of
people think of socialism as statism because of the
Bolsheviks and the National Socialists -- i.e., both
political movements called themselves socialist. It is
therefore imperative that democratic and libertarian
socialists offer a version/model of socialism that is
the converse of Fascism/Nazism. Authentic socialism is
antithetical to any and every version of authoritarian
statism. Socialism and statism are antagonistic beliefs.

Statism, both fascist and socialist, were all the rage since Fabianism
had spread to many universities, and Marx was widely read.

Socialism requires force to be enacted. No one, left to unanimous
selection, will choose socialism.

More utter nonsense. When Mussolini and other socialists discovered
that the workers weren't interested in revolting against capitalism
themselves, they founded fascism to both revolt for them and as a
nationalist hedge against Moscow oriented world communism.
Socialism will never defeat capitalism without the use of overwhelming
force, and fortunately in America, the citizenry is still an armed
society that is capable of defeating any such forced sociofascism beyond
what we have now, primarily in the cities.

None of what you say to "explain" your thesis contradicts what Ron has
just said.
Ron's thesis, for which he has good arguments, is that Mussolini turned
away from socialism.
The only "argument" you have against that thesis is that Mussolini's
socialism predates Bolshevism. But how does this prove your point or
disprove Ron's?

Again, you have no arguments. The fact that Marx was widely read has no

The second part of your sentence has no relation to the first.
Mussoloni's (flawed) "discoverey" did not trigger a fascist revolution
against capitalism.
(Mussoloni did not discover something that was untrue, and fascism did
not revolt against capitalism.)

No they didn't. They used the word to point out that they were

liberals.

The reason this sort of thing generally pisses me off is the shear
fraud it represents. It is well known that the Nazis weren't
Socialists (with a capital "S") and they used "National Socialist" to
distinguish themselves from that other *political party* in germany at
the time. They certainly didn't use the term to distinguish
themselves as not being socialists (with a little "s").

No -- the two are ideologically actually quite different even though
they are both nationalistic and so have compatible aims from an
international standpoint.

Socialism is not by definition "nonstatist".

I strongly doubt that. The corporatism of Italian fascism bears a
remarkable similarity to Sait-Simon's rule by industriels.

They are all just socialist. Why do socialist apologists *define*
socialism as a good thing. Why can't there just be bad versions of
socialism. Socialism as "the public ownership of the means of
production" certainly leaves open the possibility of all sorts of
versions of socialism. You don't call one a perversion and another
"true socialism" if the both fit the definition.

The difference is that Stalin really was a perversion of
Marxism-Leninism and Mussolini, though equally tyrranical, was inline
with fascism (obviously since it was his own philosophy).

Call it what you like, but Stalin almost surely was not a
representative of Marxist-Leninism.

Only if you define socialism to be nonfascist. Marx was just one of a
great multitude of socialists in his day following a great many
socialists that preceeded him. How is that today all the socialist
apologetics seem to consider him the creator of socialism?

No -- fascism and nationalism might be the reverse of democracy, but
it is very similar to early socialist thought.

That's really just not true.
"The public ownership of the means of production"
How does this require anti-statism? Don't give me any
rationalizations about "true ownership by the public". That's just
bullshit and we both know it. It is your own interpretation of what
that is supposed to mean and I am not even going to bother to dispute
it. The point is that it is YOUR interpretation and not the ONLY
interpretation.
And it is an unmitigated lie to pretend that someone else who:
1) EXPLICITLY denounced bourgeoisie capitalists
2) EXPLICITLY defended the working class and demanded a better lot for
them
3) EXPLICITLY called themselves socialist (with a little "s")
4) EXPLICITLY called for the public ownership of the means of
production
is not socialist!
If you're looking for an example (outside of Hitler) of nationalistic
versions of socialism in GERMANY, no less, here is an example of
something that would be very, VERY easy for ANYONE to find:

When Communists say "socialism" they mean Communism. They want their idea
of socialism to be the only alternative to capitalism.
When capitalists say "socialism" they mean anything the government might
do that is designed to help people. The minimum wage they would call
socialist. They want Capitalism to be the only alternative to Communism.
The truth is that Communism and Capitalism are both bad.

It was the Capitalists that sided with the Communists during WWII. That
is because they are both Jewish. Here is a quote from Mein Kampf:
"the Jew seized upon the manifold possiblities which the situation
offered him for the future. While on the one hand he organized capitalistic
methods of exploitation to their ultimate degree of efficiency, he curried
favour with the victims of his policy and his power and in a short while
became the leader of their struggle against himself. 'Against himself' is
here only a figurative way of speaking; for this 'Great Master of Lies'
knows how to appear in the guise of the innocent and throw the guilt on
others. Since he had the impudence to take a personal lead among the masses,
they never for a moment suspected that they were falling prey to one of the
most infamous deceits ever practiced. And yet that is what it actually was."

There are two schools of thought in the world, the right and the left.
The right is guided by what was known as Christian principles. It is for
outlawing homosexual perversion, prostitution, abortions, heroin, and other
bad things. It puts the good of the nation first and ahead of the freedom
of individuals to corrupt the culture of the nation.
Leftists believe in the Rede of Witchcraft which states-- If it harm
none, do what will you will. This sounds nice, but like the apple that the
witch gave to Snow White it has poison within. The Rede of Witchcraft is the
Bible of liberalism. It would legalize the homosexual perversion,
prostitution, drugs, etc.
The right is for building a great nation. Leftists care only about
individual freedom and are opposed to any laws that would make the nation
better. There are beaches where normal families will not go because
homosexual perverts practice their perversion on the beach. This is fine
with leftists. This is what they want. They are like children who only care
about their individual selves and are oblivious to what should be done to
make the nation great. Their philosophy for example would not allow the law
that drivers have to stop at the red lights. Their philosophy would result
in chaos and degeneracy.
Today there are some libertarians who pretend to be rightists because
they are for the freedom of the Ebenezer Scrooges to be as greedy as they
want. That group has a lot of money and they can pretend to be right wing
on TV, but what they really do is serve mammon (money). The real right wing
was not for legalizing drugs, or for using this same liberal philosophy of
the Rede of Witchcraft to legalize greed. People should not be side-tracked
into serving money if they really want to fight liberalism. Fighting
homosexual perversion with libertarianism is exactly the same as fighting a
fire with gasoline. Most libertarians know they are liberal. Anyone who
would legalize prostitution and heroin is a leftist.
The Communist were leftist and they said they were fighting for
freedom. In Spain they sided with the anarchists. The Communists and the
anarchists were the same people or the same type of people. The Communists
were for having government but only temporarily. They said that their
government was necessary only until the whole world was Communist. After the
world was Communist they wanted to disolve the government and have an
anarchy.
What liberals want to be liberated from is Christianity, or what used
to be Christianity. Capitalists want freedom for their greed, other liberals
want freedom for degeneracy, and Communists wanted to be free to burn down
churches. They had their differences but they all joined together to fight
against the real right wing during World War Two.
The right wing cares about the future. Leftists only care about having a
good time in the present. If their philosophy results in a nightmare future
like in Soylent Green or some other futuristic nightmare they are not
interested and insist that nothing could be more important than the freedom
of individuals to be as decadant as they want. They are like the children in
the old black and white movie "Lord of the Flies".

Capitalism and Communism are both evil. The problem with capitalism is
that it is materialistic and puts no special value on people. Capitalism is
based on supply and demand. A capitalist company that made potato chips for
example would need--X number of potatoes, Y amount of salt, and Z number of
human beings for labor. The human beings have no more value than the
potatoes or the salt.
Before the industrial revolution capitalism may not have been too bad
because a lot of labor was needed. But during the industrial revolution
machines replaced human labor. The machines should of been a blessing to
mankind but instead they became a curse. Why would a capitalist want a human
being who has to be paid if he can have a machine that works for nothing?
There are too many people competing for jobs. According to capitalist
theory they must compete to see who will work for the least pennies per
hour. They say people must compete with the people in Mexico and China to
see who will work for the fewest pennies. If a company makes billions in
profit while paying its employees starvation wages that is perfectly fine.
At least the sacred laws of supply and demand are not violated. If the
people die of starvation that is fine too. You can always get more people.
If there is not enough work for everyone to do then people need to die off.
Ebenezer Scrooge would be considered a great hero and all capitalists strive
to be as efficient as Scrooge.
There was a time when people dreamed of a great future for mankind. We
dreamed of a time when robots would be doing most of the work. But if we
still clung to capitalism how would the people who aren't working get any
money? Suppose we had our civilization so advanced that people would only
have to work two hours a day? Wouldn't it be great? Not if we had
capitalism. The increase in work done by robots and increased technology
would not result in any benefits for mankind.People would need to get eight
ours pay for the two hours work of there would be no benefit. But capitalist
companies would still pay people as little as possible so they can have
maximum profit.
The apologists for Scrooges correctly point out that people only
start business for a profit. Of course that is true. Anyone can see that
communism is a big mistake. But wouldn't people start the business for only
hundreds of thousands in profits rather than hundreds of millions? What if
there were laws that made sure working people got a reasonable share of the
profit? Would that be so terrible?
We have many laws that help people. There are laws that give people
extra pay if they work over forty hours. There are laws that ensure people
will have retirement. There are many laws that help people that are good.
We shouldn't want capitalism with its supply and demand theories that people
are of no special value.
The total freedom that capitalists worship would bring total chaos.
Today we have laws that when we buy a can of food they must list the true
ingrediants of what is in the can. There is a law that if a car dealer sells
a used car it must at least be able to pass the state inspection. There are
many laws that help people. Isn't it good to help people?
Capitalists oppose welfare and say that orphans and other needy people
should be helped by charity. How much charity would there be when
capitalists openly say that selfishness is a great virtue? If there was no
welfare then the charitable people would have to pay for everything while
other people do not pay one thin dime. We have welfare so people all pay
their fair share. It is part of having civilization.
We need to reject both Capitalism and Communism. They are both
materialistic and they are both evil.

COMMENT:
Never the less, "fascism," as Mussolini invented it, and saw it, was
certainly not scientific Marxism. It did indeed oppose many of the ideas of
Marxism. Rather, Italian "fascism" was a sort of romantic, authoritarian,
heroic, violent expansion of society not unlike the Roman Empire (hence the
name). There is also a strong Roman element of the worship of physical
courage. Think of Wagnerian opera rather than Italian opera. It's not at all
hard to see why Hitler regarded all this emotionalism as perfect tutoring
for the sort of thing that we wanted to put in motion. He long referred to
Mussolini as "my teacher," and not without good reason.
If you want to know how Mussolini viewed Fascism, you have to read what he
wrote about it. Some of the stuff below reminds me of Ayn Rand, though of
course the emphasis on the individual is missing. The violent romanticism,
however, is all too familiar.
=======================================
Fascism: Doctrine and Institutions, 1935
by Benito Mussolini
The years which preceded the march on Rome [1922] were years of great
difficulty, during which the necessity for action did not permit of research
or any complete elaboration of doctrine The battle had to be fought in the
towns and villages There was much discussion, but-what was more important
and more sacred-men died. They knew how to die. Doctrine beautifully defined
and carefully elucidated, with headlines and paragraphs, might be lacking;
but there was to take place something more decisive-Faith! ... It was
precisely in those years that Fascist thought armed itself, was refined, and
began the great task of organization. [It sought to solve] the problem of
the relation between the individual citizen and the State, the allied
problems of authority and liberty, political and social problems as well as
those specifically national.... And all the while, it continued its struggle
against Liberalism, Democracy, Socialism and Masonic bodies.... Fascism is
now a completely individual thing, not only as a regime but as a doctrine.
This means that today, Fascism ... forms its own distinct and peculiar point
of view ... which confronts the world.
Primarily, Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the
development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the
moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual
peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of pacifism-born of a renunciation of
the struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone
brings up to the highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of
nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to meet it. All other trials
are substitutes, which never really put men into the position where they
have to make the great decision-the alternative of life or death. Thus a
doctrine which is founded upon this harmful postulate of peace is hostile to
Fascism. And thus hostile to the spirit of Fascism, though accepted for what
use they can be in dealing with particular situations, are all the
international leagues and societies which, as history will show, can be
scattered to the winds when once strong national feeling is aroused by any
motive-sentimental, ideal, or practical. This anti-pacifist spirit is
carried by Fascism even into the life of the individual; the proud motto of
the Squadrista, "Me ne frego" ["I don't give a damn!"], written on the
bandage of the wounded, is an act of philosophy not only stoic, the summary
of a doctrine not only political-it is the education to combat, the
acceptation of the risks which combat implies, and a new way of life for
Italy. Thus the Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of the
despising suicide: he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and
conquest, life which should be high and full, lived for oneself, but above
all for others-those who are at hand and those who are far distant,
contemporaries, and those who will come after....
Fascism repudiates any universal embrace, and in order to live worthily in
the community of civilized peoples watches its contemporaries with vigilant
eyes, takes good note of their state of mind and, in the changing trend of
their interests, does not allow itself to be deceived by temporary and
fallacious appearances.
Such a conception of life makes Fascism the complete opposite of that
doctrine, the base of so-called scientific and Marxian Socialism, the
materialist conception of history; according to which the history of human
civilization can be explained simply through the conflict of interests among
the various social groups and by the change and development in the means and
instruments of production. That the changes in the economic field-new
discoveries of raw materials, new methods of working them and the inventions
of science-have their importance no one can deny; but that these factors are
sufficient to explain the history of humanity excluding all others is an
absurd delusion. Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in
heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive, direct
or indirect. And if we deny the economic conception of history, according to
which men are no more than puppets carried to and fro by the waves of
chance, while the real directing forces are quite out of their control, it
follows that the existence of an unchangeable and unchanging class-war is
also denied-the natural progeny of the economic conception of history. And
above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the preponderant force in the
transformation of society. These two fundamental concepts of Socialism being
thus refuted, nothing is left of it but the sentimental aspiration-as old as
humanity itself-towards a social convention in which the sorrows and
sufferings of the humblest shall be alleviated. But here again Fascism
repudiates the conception of "economic" happiness, to be realized by
Socialism and, as it were, at a given moment in economic evolution to assure
to everyone the maximum of well-being. Fascism denies the materialist
conception of happiness as a possibility, and abandons it to its inventors,
the economists of the first half of the nineteenth century; that is to say,
Fascism denies the validity of the equation, well-being = happiness, which
would reduce men to the level of animals, caring for one thing only-to be
fat and well-fed-and would thus degrade humanity to a purely physical
existence.
After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic
ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its
practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact
that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers
alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the
immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never
be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process
such as universal suffrage. The democratic regime may be defined as from
time to time being in the hands of other concealed and irresponsible forces.
Democracy is a regime nominally without a king, but is ruled by many
kings-more absolute, tyrannical, and ruinous than one sole king, even though
a tyrant....
Fascism denies, in democracy, the absurd conventional untruth of political
equality dressed out in the garb of collective irresponsibility, and the
myth of "happiness" and infinite progress. But if democracy may be conceived
in diverse forms-that is to say, taking democracy to mean a state of society
in which the populace is not reduced to impotence in the State-Fascism may
write itself down as "an organized, centralized, and authoritative
democracy."
Fascism has taken up an attitude of complete opposition to the doctrines of
Liberalism, both in the political field and in the field of economics. There
should be no undue exaggeration (simply with the object of immediate success
in controversy) of the importance of Liberalism in the last century, nor
should what was but one among many theories which appeared in that period be
put forward as a religion for humanity for all time, past, present and to
come. Liberalism only flourished for half a century.... The era of
Liberalism, after having accumulated an infinity of Gordian knots, tried to
untie them in the slaughter of the World War-and never has any religion
demanded of its votaries such a monstrous sacrifice. Perhaps the Liberal
gods were athirst for blood? But now, today, the Liberal faith must shut the
doors of its deserted temples, deserted because the peoples of the world
realize that its worship-agnostic in the field of economics and indifference
in the field of politics and morals-will lead, as it has already led, to
certain rum.
But the Fascist negation of Socialism, Democracy, and Liberalism must not be
taken to mean that Fascism desires to lead the world back to the state of
affairs before 1789, the date which seems to be the opening years of the
semi-Liberal century; we do not desire to turn back. Absolute monarchy has
been and can never return. As for the privileges of the feudal "have beens"
and the division of society into castes impenetrable from outside and with
no intercommunication among themselves, the Fascist conception of authority
has nothing to do with such a policy.... Fascism uses whatever elements in
the Liberal, Socialist, or Democratic doctrines still have a living value
... but it rejects all the rest.... Political doctrines pass, but humanity
remains, and it may be expected that this will be a century of authority. If
the nineteenth century was a century of individualism (and Liberalism always
signifies individualism), it may be expected that this will be a century of
collectivism and hence the century of the State.
The foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its
duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in
comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be
conceived of in their relation to the State. The "Liberal State" is not a
directing force, guiding the play and development (both material and
spiritual) of a collective body, but merely a force limited to the function
of recording results. On the other hand, the Fascist State is itself
conscious, and has itself a will and a personality-thus it may be called the
"ethical" State....
The individual in the Fascist State is not annulled but rather multiplied,
just in the same way that a soldier in a regiment is not diminished but
rather increased by the number of his comrades. The Fascist State organizes
the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the
latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains
what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the
individual, but the State alone....
The Fascist State is an embodied will to power and government, the idea of
force in action. According to Fascism, government is not so much a thing to
be expressed in territorial or military terms as in terms of morality and
spirit. It is an empire-that is to say, a nation which directly or
indirectly rules other nations without the need of conquering a single
square yard of territory. The growth of empire, the expansion of the nation
is for Fascism an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a
sign of decadence. Peoples which are rising ... are always imperialist; any
renunciation is a sign of decay and of death. Fascism represents the
tendencies and the aspirations of a people rising after many centuries of
abasement and foreign servitude. But the empire demands discipline, the
coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice:
this fact explains many aspects of the practical workings of the regime, the
character of many forces in the State and the necessarily severe measures
taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable
movement ... by recalling the outworn ideology of the 19th century.
Never before has the nation stood more in need of authority, of direction,
and of order. If every age has its own characteristic doctrine, there are a
thousand signs which point to Fascism as the doctrine of our time. For
Fascism has created a living faith, a faith powerful enough in the minds of
men that they have suffered and died for it. Fascism represents a stage in
the history of the human spirit.

As if that's such a bad thing? The problem with the world now is that we have
too many laws trying to control us and make us act like something we're not.
If some people want to be or use prostitutes for sex or other activities, why
should we deny that part of human nature? Not everybody likes beans and
cornbread, but it's legal for all to consume. Not everybody likes cigarettes,
but it's there for people over 18. Not everybody likes to smoke pot, but
nobody can legally do so, even though some states have legalized for medical
purposes. The feds move in and throw cancer-striken people in jail.
So look at it this way. We currently have laws to protect people from
themselves. This is a bad thing. If people are so stupid as to do things to
their bodies that will kill them, then why not let them die? Why continue to
allow these people to propogate their DNA into the future? Poinsettias and
holly are both poisonous. Drano is lethal if swallowed. Yet there are no
laws against eating holly berries or drinking Drano. We just assume people
have enough sense not to do those things, and indeed, most people do not.
Cannabis has been used by man for thousands of years with no ill results.
Nobody has died. Yet it's illegal and eating holly berries isn't? That
doesn't make much sense.

And heterosexual perverts practice their perversion on the Kroger parking lot
in full view of grandmothers across America. Please... As one who is gay
myself, I'm somewhat grossed out when I see some guy sucking his girlfriend's
tonsils in a public place and I think, "Well, just throw her on the floor and
fuck her, why don't you?" I'm not any more impressed with gays who kiss and
fondle each other in public. I don't mind them doing it, I'm not going to
interfere and I'm not going to try to change laws to make it illegal for gays
to kiss in public. Do you know what I do? I simply walk past them. It's
uncomforble for me, but I believe in freedom. If twelve people decide they
want to strip naked and have an orgy in the Wal-Mart snack bar, that's fine
with me. But don't drag me over and expect me to join in.
The problem today is that people want to have their freedoms, but they don't
want anybody else to have freedoms they might disagree with. That is more of
a perversion than any kind of "sexual depravity".

That's malarky! I've never heard anybody say that we don't need red lights.
If you have any reputable documentation to back up that claim, I will retract
my statement.

There are good reasons for legalizing prostitution and heroin. Making both

I'd agree with such an approach. I think one of the reasons communism has
failed in the past is lack of rapid communication. With the internet, I think
communism could succeed easily because different groups who take on different
responsibilities could keep in contact to augment and complement each other's
work.

I wouldn't want to burn down any churches. I'm all for freedom and I respect
everyone's freedom, but I only want them to respect my freedom as much as I
respect theirs.

I think the leftist approach gives us the kind of world we're best suited to.
If something arises that needs to be done, but nobody wants to do it, then it
doesn't need to be done. I know someone is going to bring up working with
sewage, so I'll point out that if you've scanned the internet porno sites,
there are some where people are crapping on each other, so there is no
shortage of people to handle septic duties.
The rightist approach creates an artificial world where some people suffer
doing things they don't necessarily want to do, while others don't have to do
anything they don't want to do.

...not realy realizing what they were getting into. Politicians make promises
all the time. George Bush's record as governor was pointed out. One of the
things addressed was the fact that he made certain promises during his
campaign that he broke after he took office. His response was that we should
"look at the results". I guess Hitler had the same view. He apparently
believe that the end justifies the means. Hitler had a certain end in mind,
but his means never got him there.
> Capitalism and Communism are both bad. Pure Capitalism results in the
> few very rich and the many very poor.
I agree with that. And what's more is that capitalism is nothing but a scam
to accomplish this very goal of having a few rich people and a bunch of poor
people. Look at it this way. I may work in a factory building car stereos.
I build a stereo and a company takes the stereo and gives me a certain amount
of money for building it. If I want that stereo I built, I have to give the
money back and I can have the stereo. What I've just done is made someone
rich off my own labor. Not only did I have to build the stereo, an artificial
medium of exchange was introduced (money) to trick me into thinking the car
stereo had value. If I had cut out the middle man by building the stereo and
taking it home with me, the company I gave the money to would have to find
something to do to contribute to society besides stealing the productivity of
the people. The reason capitalists fight any moves to weaken capitalism is
because they know it means that their free ride will be coming to an end.
Capitalism is an elegant form of slavery and a horrible waste of resources.
Marketing plans are put together in attempts to milk as much money from
productivity as possible. This means that research is done to find out how
much of an improvement on a current product would be needed to entice people
into buying a new and improved product. They improve the product just enough
to hit a sweet spot and people go nuts and buy, all while three or four more
generations of product are already shelved waiting to go on the assembly line
after most buyers have acquired the latest released upgrade. Another reason
capitalism is a waste is because we have so many projects going on in the
world to advance science, medicine and technology that we can't afford to give
them all the resources they need to make the advances that are possible.
Money isn't available. Well, if money were no object, advances would
obviously take place at a much faster rate, plus any fraudulent activities
going on to siphon more money into programs (like scientists trying to get
another year's worth of paychecks by asking for money and then engaging in
research they already know is bogus) also is a waste and it hurts humanity by
wasting finite resources.

That law is a curse because it's mandatory. Once I had to work two jobs
because I couldn't get over 40 hours at one job. They should make it possible
to sign waivers for that law.

I've seen a lot of attacking of capitalism in your post, and you've proven why
capitalism is evil and materialistic, but you didn't say much about communism,
and definitely not enough to prove that communism is bad.
Damaeus
No it is not. Neither Communism nor Capitalism are bad. As long as they
are practised in democracies.

All laws should have a good reason for their existance. Laws make life
better for people. Here is an example:
"Libertarians believe that once one is burned by charlatans,
they'll simply stop doing business with the ogres who proselytize
inferior work and product. But, isn't the hue and cry for governmental
regulation the mechanism that the public demands when they've been
ripped-off by nefarious business people? In many cases, especially
with bigger ticket items, they don't have the luxury of not doing
business with a sinister plutocrat, but must buy and weep over shoddy
business practices...
"Surely, we've seen enough charlatans to
know that the market itself cannot monitor its own activities to the
good of all!"

I am not for having laws that are unpopular with the people. Actually we
should outlaw tobacco. If tobacco was a new substance being brought before
the public there is no way that it would be legalized. But it would be too
unpopular to outlaw tobacco now.

You don't mind living in a crappy nation. Those who do mind should not
support whatever political party you adhere to, and should reject your
philosophies. And I don't really want to write to homos so I will end this

H.L. Menchen said democracy was the art of running the circus from the
monkey cage.
If the majority of people are for either Communism or Capitalism than
that majority is wrong, and it is the minority that is right.
In America, the capitalists have the heaviest firepower and numbers,
forget sociofascism.

They may do that, it's irrelevant. Sociofascism, today's melding of
socialism and fascism in the modern liberal, is what is eating away at
the American culture and society.
Capitalism is being used to finance modern sociofascism in the same way
the Fascists used it.
As Von Mises and Hayek stated it over 80 years ago, capitalism is the
only economic model capable of being successful.

Fascism, communism without state ownership of the means of production,
but owners of individuals is the step child of communism/socialism. You

The same tired old communist obfuscation of fascism being on the

National socialism is still equally the gutter philosophy is always
was, the only shortcoming in that vein is that national socialism only
managed to murder 20% of the numbers murdered by Stalin alone, Mao put
you national socialist to shame as well.

That's abundantly not true, capitalism has improved the lot of more
individuals worldwide than all the small minded, deadly sociofascists
added together and multiplied by 1000's. Most people know this fact,
and as a result the only political philosophy having a harder time
succeeding than socialism is fascism. Today, the socialists have become
fascists, and that is why they are called sociofascists.

The above statement is another absurd juxtaposition. All capitalists
know that visible totalitarianism is bad, some of them can't see that
they are acting as fascists when the harness capitalism to socialist ideas.

Sociofascism has killed over 170 million in the twentieth century
alone, we really don't need any more of them at all.
When we free people from governments altogether, those that would
murder in vast numbers through the armed state will be vanquished totally.

We have too many laws. I'm not saying we should have no laws, especially
not all at once. I think a time will come when laws will no longer be
necessary, but to unleash such a system now would probably do more harm than
good.

But the definition of good changes from one person to the next. I don't
want to live in a democracy or a republic. I want to live in an anarchistic
state where people are free to do whatever they want to do as long as they
don't do things to others that others don't consent to, such as stealing and
murder. But if I want to be murdered, then I'd expect the person who
murdered me to continue to live a life of freedom. Of course, by the time
such a society becomes a reality, doctor assisted suicide will have become
an accepted way of dealing with life.

But the problem in a republic is that either half the people are pissed
because the other side got their way, or a compromise is made that doesn't
completely satisfy anybody. The problem with society is that we're all
forced to live under the same rules and regulations. And I'm not talking
about corporate law. I'm just talking about day to day laws like abortion
laws, suicide laws, drug laws, indecency laws. Hey, if my next door
neighbor decides that he never wants to wear clothes for as long as he
lives, that's great! But the law says he can't go anywhere if he's going to
be naked or he'll be arrested for indecent exposure. If my neighbor wants
to kill himself, I'll back him up. If my neighbor's wife wants to abort her
baby, so be it. It doesn't mean *I* want to do any of those things and I
won't have to. Furthermore, if I want to build a greenhouse and fill it
with growing marijuana plants, I want to be able to do that without fear of
the cops coming to arrest me.
The very basic, fundamental human freedoms are the ones I'm most concerned
with. No, I don't think we should be allowed to steal. I think some form
of speed limit is a good idea within city limits because that's about
safety. But these crazy abortion, suicide, drug, prostitution, pornography
and anti-nudity laws are moralistic hogwash that should all be repealed.
Those are the kinds of decisions people can make for themselves and when I
tell people that America is no longer the greatest icon of freedom in the
world, it is these basic laws I'm referring to. The only kind of freedom
the government seems to be concerned with is economic freedom. Basic rights
which I consider inalienable rights are disappearing and have been for some
time.

I don't think we should outlaw anything people want to consume. If people
are made well aware of the risks involved with using certain substances,
then when they die, they die. If someone get cancer from smoking
cigarettes, they shouldn't be covered by insurance. If they can afford the
care they need, that's fine. If not, they can start talking to death
counselors at hospice centers and their trip out can be made as painless as
possible with drugs which could be donated by philanthropic organizations.
I know that if I get cancer or if I suffer some accident which does serious
damage and will result in my living like a vegetable for the rest of my
life, I do *NOT* want to stay here. I just want to go ahead and give up the
ghost. So I'm working on drawing up legal papers that will forbid doctors
from saving my life in those cases, and the only thing I'd receive is help
from the doctors to experience as painless a death as possible.

Not necessarily. If a crack addict spends all his money and sells his house
and his car to get more crack, who is he going to hurt? Yeah, he could rob
somebody at gunpoint, but that happens now as it is due to the fact that the
price of crack is inflated as a result of prohibition.

Picture this scenario. Some happily married and financially successful
family man has some marijuana in his indoor garden -- just a few plants for
personal use. He and his wife smoke it on a regular basis. Their kids find
out about the pot. Doing what DARE suggests, the kid tells his DARE officer
that their parents have pot growing in their guest bedroom closet. The cops
come to investigate and indeed find pot growing. The parents are arrested,
the kids are either given to relatives or become wards of the state, and one
family goes down in dust. This kind of thing happens daily because of the
prohibition of marijuana, and in my not so humble opinion, that is not what
makes a nation great. Obviously, the people making laws against marijuana
have not been smoking anything themselves or they would know better.

Ron Allen answers:
Anarchistic state!?
Anarchism is the absence of a political state, and the
presence of a political democracy -- i.e., the people
are no longer alienated from public choice decision-
making, the people are no longer estranged or separated
from the political process. A true democracy is when
the citizens, the people, and not the politicians, are
empowered and enfranchised to determine public policy.

Interesting reply; and I agree. If capitalism were truly
democratic in both the political and economic realm of
activity, then I can and will support such a capitalism.
But, it must be pointed out, that when capitalism has
been wholly democratized, it will have been transformed
into socialism. After all, socialism is itself the full
democratization of both politics and economics, the full
communization of both the means of production and the
means of government.

It is very common for people to oppose democracy and

In my opinion, anarchism is not the absence of true
democracy; it's the absence of an authoritarian state.
Those who oppose anarchism and democracy usually do not
consider the question of how public sphere policies are
determined, and who is empowered and authorized to make
decisions that concern society. As anarchists they
advocate self government and self determination, but
they neglect the political sphere and the question of
social government and social determination. As I see
it, just as the individual self ought to be free to
govern and determine the individual self, so also the
autonomous social unit should be free to govern and
decide the community's collective being/life. Those
who oppose anarchism and democracy neglect and forget the
fact that human being is ever and always social being.
If we the people are not free to fully decide our social
and public life, then we as persons will never be truly
free to decide our solitary and private lives.

You are a liberal.
There are two schools of thought in the world, the right and the left.
The right is guided by what was known as Christian principles. It is for
outlawing homosexual perversion, prostitution, abortions, heroin, and other
bad things. It puts the good of the nation first and ahead of the freedom
of individuals to corrupt the culture of the nation.
Leftists believe in the Rede of Witchcraft which states-- If it harm
none, do what will you will. This sounds nice, but like the apple that the
witch gave to Snow White it has poison within. The Rede of Witchcraft is the
Bible of liberalism. It would legalize the homosexual perversion,
prostitution, drugs, etc.
The right is for building a great nation. Leftists care only about
individual freedom and are opposed to any laws that would make the nation
better. There are beaches where normal families will not go because
homosexual perverts practice their perversion on the beach. This is fine
with leftists. This is what they want. They are like children who only care
about their individual selves and are oblivious to what should be done to
make the nation great. Their philosophy for example would not allow the law
that drivers have to stop at the red lights. Their philosophy would result
in chaos and degeneracy.
Today there are some libertarians who pretend to be rightists because
they are for the freedom of the Ebenezer Scrooges to be as greedy as they
want. That group has a lot of money and they can pretend to be right wing
on TV, but what they really do is serve mammon (money). The real right wing
was not for legalizing drugs, or for using this same liberal philosophy of
the Rede of Witchcraft to legalize greed. People should not be side-tracked
into serving money if they really want to fight liberalism. Fighting
homosexual perversion with libertarianism is exactly the same as fighting a
fire with gasoline. Most libertarians know they are liberal. Anyone who
would legalize prostitution and heroin is a leftist.
The Communist were leftist and they said they were fighting for
freedom. In Spain they sided with the anarchists. The Communists and the
anarchists were the same people or the same type of people. The Communists
were for having government but only temporarily. They said that their
government was necessary only until the whole world was Communist. After the
world was Communist they wanted to disolve the government and have an
anarchy.
What liberals want to be liberated from is Christianity, or what used
to be Christianity. Capitalists want freedom for their greed, other liberals
want freedom for degeneracy, and Communists wanted to be free to burn down
churches. They had their differences but they all joined together to fight
against the real right wing during World War Two.
The right wing cares about the future. Leftists only care about having a
good time in the present. If their philosophy results in a nightmare future
like in Soylent Green or some other futuristic nightmare they are not
interested and insist that nothing could be more important than the freedom
of individuals to be as decadant as they want. They are like the children in
the old black and white movie "Lord of the Flies".

So somebody would be making the decisions, in this case "the people".
Most people are couch potatoes who let the TV do their thinking for them.
Their decisions may be worse than the decisions made in other political
systems.

I agree with that somewhat. When did we vote to give billions of dollars
to the Jew country for one thing. I never voted for that. All the
politicians are for that because the Jews control the media.

The reality is that people are not equal and the best of us would run the

I will stop reading now. You have your beliefs because your only source
of information is the Jewish controlled media.
There was a book in ordinary bookstores called "An Empire of Their
Own". It was a pro-Jewish book but it showed that the Jews ran Hollywood.
Here are some quotes from a magazine for Jews called "Moment". It is
subtitled "The Jewish magazine for the 90's" These quotes are from the Aug
1996 edition after the Headline "Jews Run Hollywood - So What?":
"It makes no sense at all to try to deny the reality of Jewish power
and prominence in popular culture. Any list of the most influential
pruduction executives at each of the major movie studios will produce a
heavy majority of recognizably Jewish names."
"the famous Disney organization, which was founded by Walt Disney, a
gentile Midwesterner who allegedly harbored anti-Semetic attitudes, now
features Jewish personnel in nearly all its most powerful positions."
The head of Walt Disney studios is now the Jew Michael Eisner. On
studios that were bought out by the Japanese the magazine says:
"When Mitsushita took over MCA-Universal, they did nothing to undermine the
unquestioned authority of Universal's legendary - and all Jewish -
management triad of Lew Wasserman, Sid Scheinberg, and Tom Pollack."
Here are some quotes from the paper "Jews Control the Media and Rule
America"
"American Broadcasting Companies (ABC), Coumbia Broadcasting System
(CBS), and National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Each of these three has been
under the absolute control of a single man over a long enough period of
time--ranging from 32 to 55 years--for him to staff the corporation at every
level with officers of his choosing and then to place his imprint indelibly
upon it. In each case that man has been a Jew.
"Until 1985, when ABC merged with Capital Cities Communications,
Inc...the chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer
(CEO) of the network was Leonard Harry Goldenson, a Jew...In an interview in
the April 1, 1985 issue of Newsweek, Goldenson boasted 'I built this company
(ABC) from scratch.'"
"CBS was under the domination of William S. Paley for more than half
a century. The son of immigrant Jews from Russia..."
"There has been no move by top G-E management to change the Jewish
"profile" of NBC or to replace key Jewish personel. To the contrary, new
Jewish executives have been added: an example is Steve Friedman..."
"The man in charge of the television entertainment division at CBS is
Jeff Sagansky. At ABC the entertainment division is run by two men....nearly
all of the men who shape young Amercians' concept of reality, of good and
evil, of permissible and impermissible behavior are Jews. In particular,
Sagansky and Bloomberg arre Jews. So is Tartikoff. Littlefield is the only
Gentile who has had a significant role in TV entertainment programming in
recent years."
"American Film magazine listed the top 10...entertainment companies
and their CEOs...Time Warner Communications (Steven J Ross, Jew) Walt Disney
Co. (Michael D. Eisner, Jew)...Of the 10 top entertainment CEOs listed
above, eight are Jews."
"The Newhouse media empire provides an example of more than a lack of
real competition among America's daily newspapers; it also illustrates the
insatiable appetite Jews have shown for all organs of opinion... The
Newhouse's own 31 daily newspapers, including several large and important
ones, such as the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Newark Star-Ledger, and the
New Orleans Times-Picayune; the nation's largest trade book publishing
conglomerate, Random House, with all its subsideries; Newhouse
Broadcasting, consisting of 12 television broadcasting stations and 87
cable-TV systems, including some of the countries largest cable networks-
the Sunday supplement Parade, with a circulation of more than 22 million
copies per week; some two dozen major magazines, including the New Yorker,
Vogue, Madamoiselle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, HQ, Bride's, Gentlemen's
Quarterly, Self, Home&Garden...."
"Furthermore, even those newspapers still under Gentile ownership and
management are so thoroughly dependent upon Jewish advertising..."
"the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
These three...are the newspapers which set trends and guidlines for nearly
all others. They are the ones which decide what is news and what isn't, at
national and international levels. They originate the news; the others
merely copy it. And all three newspapers are in Jewish hands...The Suzberger
family also owns, through the New York Times Co. 36 other newspapers; twelve
magazines, including McCall's and Family Circle..."
"New York's other newspapers are in no better hands than the Daily
News. The New York Post is owned by billionare Jewish real-estate developer
Peter Kalikow. The Village Voice is the personal property of Leonard Stern,
the billionaire Jewish owner of..."
"There are only three newsmagazines of any note published in the United
States: Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report....The CEO of Time
Warner Communications is Steven J. Ross, and he is a Jew.
"Newsweek, as mentioned above, is published by the Washington Post
Co., under the Jewess Katherine Meyer Graham..."
"U.S. News & World Report... owned and published by Jewish real estate
developer Mortimer B. Zucherman..."
" The three largest book publishers...Random House... Simon & Schuster
, and Time Inc. Book Co....All three are owned or controlled by Jews...The
CEO of Simon & Schuster if Richard Snyder, and the president is Jeremy
Kaplan; both are Jews too."
"Western Publishing...ranks first among publishers of childrens books, with
more than 50 per cent of the market. Its chairman and CEO is Richard
Bernstein, a Jew."
"Jewish spokesmen customarily will use evasive tactics. "Ted Turner
isn't a Jew!" they will announce..."
"We are doing more than merely giving them a decisive influence on our
political system and virtual control of our government; we also are giving
them control of the minds and souls of our children..."
Get a clue, Alex. This simply means that "capitalism" (or more correctly,
the free market) should not be your total philosophy. Perhaps it shouldn't
even be your total political philosophy (though this is precisely the point
at which many minarchists differ from full-strength propertarian
anarchists). The free market was never meant as a substitute for your
Priest or your Rabbi or your humanistic values, where ever you get them.
It's simply a tool, like a railroad, which allows you to do things
efficiently in an economic system. It's efficient because it's networked,
distributed, multitasked, and by nature it involves the maximal number of
human brains, thus maximal processing power, to solve the difficult and
perpetual economic problem. Whatever layer of government or charity or
robbery/taxation you want to tack onto it, is just that-- an add-on.

Fascism is not "Marxist based". It's the opposite.
A philosophy based on a belief in a master race is by definition the
opposite of a philosophy based on the ideal of a classless society.
Labor battalions and all that -- recollect the way they
turned out when Trotsky and later Pol Pot tried them.
And of course there is abolition of the difference between
town and country, a program so over the top that of all the
Marxists, only the ultra pure Pol Pot tried it.
And then of course there is Marx on "bourgeois liberty".
Instead of such mere bourgeous liberties such as freedom to
think whatever one pleases, under Marxism one will instead
receive a higher and superior form of liberty -- assistance
to make sure one will only think correct thoughts. Instead
of freedom of religion, one will instead receive the higher
liberty of freedom from religion, and so on and so forth.
And of course, plenty more of the same.

When Marx condemned "bourgeois liberty", advocated labor

totalitarian policies.

COMMENT:
What makes you think you'd get to rule yourself in an anarchy, Ron? Any more
than you get to now? I'm going to hammer away on this point until you all
"get" it. Anarchy is not a society in which there is an absence of force.
Anarchy is merely a society in which there is an absence of "authority."
Which means an absence of "authorized force." Force, however, is still
present. And force rules. Authority, however, is like beauty, and resides
only in the eye of the beholder.
You like anarchy? It's easy for to create such a society NOW, for anyone who
wants it. Just close your eyes, and decide that the government has no true
and honest "authority" over you. And that all the force the government
wields, is done so by means of your neighbors having gotten together and
anarchistically deciding that they are going to force you to do things you'd
rather not, at the point of a gun, without any "authority" at all. But just
because they outgun you.
Now, open your eyes, Shallow Hal. Are you happy? You live in an anarchy NOW.
Glinda the Good Witch has granted your wish. There are no legitimate laws,
because you have decided there aren't any. Thus, you're quite free to do
anything you want, so long as you don't run afoul of some group which
outguns you, and which wants you to behave in some other way. Which is of
course a constraint in any anarchy.
There you are.
Happy Holidays.

Chess moves do not influence or concern -- help or harm

challenge the players. Most public choice matters of
social concern are not as difficult as a chess move, if
any such matters can be compared to a chess move.
Besides, there is nothing in democratic theory which says
the people cannot elect smart people to make the hard
decisions for them. I just don't think political choices
can be as difficult as a chess move.

Seems more like a devotion to your idea of what Marxism is rather than
devotion to Marxism.

What it does say is: "Equal liability of all to labour.
Establishment of industrial armies, especially for
agriculture", which sounds remarkably like the labor
battalions in which so many recently died in so many
countries.

He instituted a classless society immediately and instantly.
Everyone was required, on pain of immediate execution, to use
forms of address, and a manner of speaking, that asserted
that everyone was a brother, everyone was equal, and which
superficially concealed the fact that some people could
execute other people. Everyone had to eat collectively, and
theoretically they all got the same food.

If labor battalions and the abolition of bourgeois liberty is
not totalitarian, then Pol Pot and Stalin are not
totalitarian

Well, that's a nice statement of the Jeffersonian argument for a "natural
aristoi" (vs. one supposes, the "natural hoi polloi"). And it's one reason
why historically we have a republican form of democracy.
You can't push this too far, though. With a thousand chess games going at
once, even Kasparov will be outclassed by 1000 "merely good" players
operating in parallel. And when you get to 10,000 or a million, it's no
contest. These situations are more like what we have in economic or
political life. The second-class intellect who is closer to the problem and
more more time and information, is going to do a better job than the genius
in Washington, thousands of miles away.
That was the problem with Bill and Hillary, don't you know. They were both
smart people and knew it. Their problem came in the next step, which was
believing that since they were smart people, they should be running many
aspects of your lives for you, since they're smart than you are. However,
that's not necessarily true, even from a pure efficiency point of view, and
even if there wasn't any objection to it from the "right to autonomy" point
of view. The communists, and in fact the Left in general, have never quite
gotten this.

Yes. It sounds wonderful, doesn't it? People can get together and do
things for their own community without government rule. I think many people
care about the places they live in, and they would love to have hands-on
participation in taking care of their hometowns. But I don't think
capitalism really encourages people to help support their community. I
think people are usually so physically and emotionally pooped after working
40-60 hours at a job they may not even like, that spending time with the
spouse and kids, taking care of bills, and home maintenance become the main
priorities. That's not to say that any less work would need to be done
under some other societal structure, but I think something other than
capitalism would allow more people to have jobs they enjoy more rather than
selecting jobs based on the amount of money to be made.

Political democracy? But wouldn't that mean that if the majority decides
that society will be a certain way, then it will be that certain way? The
minority loses? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought anarchy was somewhat
similar to the creed of the Wiccans: "An ye harm none, do as thou will." I'm
looking for a society in which pretty much everyone gets their way. People
who want have abortions, commit suicide, hire a prostitute, take drugs,
etc... would be able to do these things without fear of criminal or civil
prosecution or fines. Murders would not get their way.
Many people mistakenly believe that anarchy is nothing more than complete
and total chaos, but the form of society I'm advocating is one in which
people take responsibility for themselves. Though this may sound surprising
to some, I don't think privacy is such a big deal. What have I to be
ashamed of? We're all human. So if society wants cameras all over the
place so that we have nowhere in this country that's private, so be it. If
we're going to talk about individual responsibility, cameras don't lie. If
someone does murder another person, the camera will tell the tale. Let the
family of the dead decide on the punishment of the killer. With clear
camera shots of the murder, there would be no need for a trial. The suspect
is guilty and should be at the mercy of the family of the one who was
killed.
Now if we're talking about putting up cameras to arrest me for smoking a
cigarette or "scratching myself" in public, then that's taking things a bit
too far. Unfortunately, people in America seem to think they have a right
not to be offended, so it seems like more laws or ordinance are enacted to
protect people from being offended. I don't think that's the right
direction to go.

Your statement does point out some concerns, but that would only happen if
we all wake up tomorrow and find that we have no central government. If
anarchy is implemented slowly, people will eventually grow more tolerant of
different kinds of people. It takes a *mature* society to live under
anarchy. The infantile, whining, griping and vindictive society we have now
would indeed destroy itself under anarchy because there is too much
intolerance of varying viewpoints.

No, we don't. America is a fascist state. Capitalism and fascism, all
mixed together. Have you ever seen the ad on TV from the New York Stock
Exchange? It began airing soon after the September 11 attacks. The ad
shows pictures of cops, firefighters and families with music in the
background. The text reads:
Here's to the human spirit.
Here's to courage.
Here's to the essential strength of American business

Let freedom ring.

Every time I see that ad, I want to throw up. It just reeks of the only
kind of freedom that the U.S. government really cares about: Capitalism.
They like it probably because a robust economy generates more taxes and
keeps those in power, in power longer. So not only are basic freedoms being
chewed away, they're stealing our own money to do it. It's like paying
someone to steal your lunch and eat it for you.

You're not talking about anarchy. You're talking about living on a planet
full of assholes. Anarchists are typically not assholes because as long as
you don't try to force them to do something they don't want to do, they'll
be your best friend.

That's true. I know that it's not beneath me to scrub toilets. I would
like to be a musician, but while I'm studying or perfecting my technique, I
would have no problem hanging out at the mall all day to clean up the
bathrooms. Plus I think society currently creates some kind of negative
image around janitors and custodians and people treat them like they might
want to do something more with their lives, but they're unable to. I think
some people enjoy being custodians. The only reason they may look depressed
is because some of them are treated like it's all their worth, even though
they enjoy the honest work.

Yes. I typically agree with Alan Colmes far more than I agree with Sean
Hannity. Funny, though. I'm typically like the Republican stance on
corporate issues and I like the liberal stance on societal issues.

Homosexuality is already legal in the United States. Would you prefer to
see it outlawed? Should we have a death penalty for practicing or
proclaiming homosexuality as they do in some countries in the east?
Should Wiccans, pagans and Satanists be punished for their beliefs? You
know, I have always found those three types of people to be more honest,
loving and sincere than most Christians; plus they don't preach and tell me
everything I'm doing wrong unless I start trying to tell them how to live
their lives. I think that's how we're supposed to live. I think that's the
spirit of loving your neighbor, as the Bible says. If you love your
neighbor as yourself, do you want people coming to you and punishing you for
doing things that others disagree with? Of course not. So why would you
want to force such experiences on others? Would that mean that you love
yourself more than others?

So you want to live in a society where forbiddances and restrictions are
placed upon people to make them all behave in ways that you find appropriate
and which fall in line with what you think is moral? What if 50.01% of the
people do not agree with you? Would you accept defeat and admit that most
of the people want a more liberal society, or would you use force against
the will of the majority?

I don't see why. God gave us ten commandments. I don't see why that isn't
enough. If everyone lived by the ten commandments, society would be a
paradise. Why do you want to continue the damage that's been done by man's
laws which throw natural order out of alignment?

Prostitution is already outlawed except in Nevada. Drug laws will

Very wise, indeed. I put it into perspective by looking at my home life.
The only people living here are me and my housemate. My housemate likes to
decorate for Christmas and buy knick-knacks like statues and figurines which
litter almost the entire house. I don't care about those things, so I have
nothing to do with them and they do not go in my bedroom. Within the
confines of the walls of this house, it's pretty much anarchy.
Applying this same living concept on a social scale, suppose a group of
people want a race track so they can race their cars. If they're able to
get the resources together, I have no problem with a racetrack. But since I
don't care for auto racing, I will have nothing to do with it. People may
want to plant flowers on the town square. Fine with me, but I don't care
about flowers, so I will not participate in that, either. But let's say I
want a movie theater built. I would participate with others to see that it
gets built, meaning I would spend some of my spare time actually
constructing the building. Even people who know nothing about carpentry can
contribute to building a structure. And I think these are all things that
can be done without money.
People always ask who will clean the toilets if nobody is getting paid.
Prisoners can do it. I don't think we'll ever have a shortage of prisoners,
so their repayment to society for their wrongdoing can be the dirty work
like digging ditches, cleaning sewers and scrubbing toilets.
I think it's a very simple structure that would work because people would
get involved in things they care about and people who don't care about those
things would not be forced to contribute as they do now in the form of
taxes.
Damaeus
Yes, that's what's always puzzled me about anarchy. I've just read some
Bakunin. He writes, in *Politics and the State*:
<begin quote>
The State, however popular may be the form it assumes, will always be an
institution of domination and exploitation, and consequently a permanent
source of poverty and enslavement for the populace. There is no other way,
then, of emancipating the people economically and politically, of giving
them liberty and well-being at one and the same time than by abolishing the
State, all States, and, by so doing, killing, once and for all time, what,
up to now, has been called "Politics," i e., precisely nothing else than the
functioning or manifestation both internal and external of State action,
that is to say, the practice, or art and science of dominating and
exploiting the masses in favour of the privileged classes.
<end quote>
A few sentences later he writes:
<begin quote>
The organisation of the society of the future must and can be accomplished
only from the bottom upwards, through the free federation and union of the
workers into groups, unions, and societies, which will unite again into
districts, communes, national communes, and finally form a great
international federation.
<end quote>
And, of course, what would such a great federation be other than . . . you
guessed it . . . a state????!!!! Complete, doubtless, with oppression of man
by man!
It seems to me that the fundamental difficulty with anarchism is that the
moment it addresses the problem of what to replace the state with it ends up
either advocating a de facto state, or something that will inevitably end up
as a de facto state!
I have a lot of sympathy with overthrowing the established order, but there
does seem to be a lot of confusion about what to replace it with.

There is no way that the worst case of anarchy could
be any worse than the worst case of the State. The
worst cases of the State made some hells on Earth
in the last century that could not possibly be topped.

And now all can see what kind of hell-on-earth State

IOW -- in an anarchist society, people stop pretending that domination of other
human beings can be moral if only it's done by a powerful enough "authority."
At least anarchy doesn't require that you pay for the privilege of being
coerced!

That's not likely to happen in an anarchy because there's no incentive for to
do so.
What allows government crime to flourish is the fact that the guns are hidden.
Once it's clear that there is no legitimate coercive authority, the issue
becomes too clear and decent people are less likely to engage in the activities
the government now does.
>Now, open your eyes, Shallow Hal. Are you happy? You live in an anarchy NOW.
That's actually true. There is no such thing as government, you know. There's
just a bunch of people who have decided that they have the authority to
dominate you and me and all of us.
They don't, of course, because they can't, because forceful domination of
another human being is unjustifiable.
>Glinda the Good Witch has granted your wish. There are no legitimate laws,

Nah...there are no legitimate laws because there aren't any, not because you or
I think there aren't.

And your solution is to organize those thugs? To pretend that somehow their
domination of human beings is legitimate?

Comment:
Somebody always must chase the bad guys (defined as they will) and put them
in jail or kill them. That group is the state. Call it whatever you like.
It two groups disagree about who to put in jail or kill, then they must
fight (unless somebody actually volunteers to go to jail or die, in order to
keep the peace). If they fight, the group that loses, is called "the
criminals." The group that wins is "the government." See? Easy.
If they fight for a long time, it's called "civil war". If it's a standoff,
you get two states.

In my opinion, if you can make a mess, then you can also

The Jews Are Our Misfortune
By Dr. William Pierce
Hello!
If you've been listening to many of my broadcasts you will know that the
issue I talk about most often is that of media control. In nearly every
broadcast I have pointed out that the people who control the mass media
of news and entertainment are able to manipulate the opinions and
attitudes of about 95 per cent of the population. I have pointed out
that the media bosses do this manipulation deliberately and in collusion
with one another, taking advantage of the compelling need most people
have to conform their ideas and their behavior to a perceived norm.
The media bosses use their control over the mass media of entertainment
-- and to a lesser extent over the news media -- to create an artificial
norm that is presented to the public through television, motion
pictures, advertising, and other media, and this artificial norm is the
one perceived as real by most of the public. Through their control of
public opinion the media bosses also control the democratic political
process and governmental policy in a way that is advantageous to them
and disadvantageous to the White public. And these media bosses are
overwhelmingly Jews.
That has been the message I have presented over and over again in many
of these broadcasts. I have talked about different facets of Jewish
media control and have presented different specifics, different details,
in various broadcasts. I've discussed a number of different Hollywood
films or television shows as specific examples of the way in which the
Jews use their media control to brainwash the public, to promote
fashions and styles and behavior that are harmful to our people but that
advance the long-term schemes of the Jews to further dominate and
exploit our society.
I've talked about specific Jews who control various segments of the mass
media, and I've pointed out specific instances of the destructive way in
which they use their control. I've talked about the Jewish media boss
Sumner Redstone and his control of MTV and CBS and the Hollywood film
studio Paramount Pictures. I've talked about the Jewish media boss
Michael Eisner and his control of the Disney Company and ABC. I've
talked about the Jewish media boss Gerald Levin and his control of Time
Warner and CNN. I've talked about the Jewish media boss Edgar Bronfman
and his control of the largest segment of the popular music industry and
Universal Studios in Hollywood. And I've talked about dozens of other
Jewish media bosses and the media they control and the specific ways in
which they use those media. In particular, during the past few months
I've talked about several recent Hollywood films which deliberately
target teenaged White girls and brainwash them with the notion that it
is fashionable for them to have sex with Black males.
And of course, I've talked about the Jewish control of the news media as
well as the entertainment media. In a way similar to their use of the
entertainment media to set popular fashions, the Jewish media bosses
distort and censor the news in order to give the public a distorted
picture of what is happening in the world. I've given several very
specific examples of this Jewish management of the news in recent
months.
I've talked about the total blackout at the national level of the news
of the atrocious rape and massacre of Whites in Wichita, Kansas, by
Blacks last December, and I've talked about the almost total suppression
of the news of the Black racial attacks on Whites in Seattle in the
Mardi Gras riot at the end of February this year. I also talked about
the downplaying of the racial aspects of the Black rioting in Cincinnati
in April of this year, about the failure of the news media outside the
immediate Cincinnati area to mention the deliberate targeting of Whites,
especially White women, by the Black rioters. And I described the gross
distortions in the news coverage of the racial politics in York,
Pennsylvania, that led to the current White mayor of York being charged
in May with the killing of a Black during a Black race riot in York 32
years ago.
I have pointed out repeatedly how all of this suppression of the news
and distortion of the news is aimed at creating and maintaining a false
picture in the public mind of racial conflict in the United States. In
this false picture Whites always are the aggressors, Blacks or other
non-Whites are the innocent victims, and the root of all racial conflict
is White racism.
In a number of my broadcasts I've discussed at length why the Jews do
what they do: why they use their media control in such a deceptive and
destructive way, what their motives are. I've also talked about how they
collaborate. I've pointed out that their propaganda policies are not
formulated independently, but that they have a coherent party line that
they all follow. I've given a number of specific examples of this.
Well, all of these things that I've talked about have not gone unnoticed
by the Jewish media bosses themselves. When people expose their
activities or their scheming they pay attention. In particular, they
have been paying attention to these American Dissident Voices broadcasts
and to the work of my organization, the National Alliance. They read
what's on our Web sites at natvan.com and natall.com and resistance.com,
and they talk about it among themselves. This shows up pretty clearly in
the uniform way in which their media respond to us. Whether it's the
Associated Press or Time magazine or the Washington Post or a television
news commentator anywhere in the United States, they always use the same
phrasing in talking about us. They always use the word "hate" in
referring to us. They always say that the National Alliance is the "most
dangerous organized hate group" in America, despite the fact that all we
do is disseminate to the public the truth about what they're doing.
That's what they regard as "dangerous" and as "hate."
If you want to see a current indicator of the fact that they do think
about us, go to the Web site promoting Steven Spielberg's new movie,
A.I. There you'll see a parody of a part of the National Alliance's Web
site in the form of a page headed "Who Is the Anti-Robot Militia?" It's
obviously copied, almost word for word, from the page "Who Is the
National Alliance?" on our Web site. It's difficult for me to understand
what they hoped to accomplish with this parody. Perhaps they believe
that it will make people take us less seriously.
Somewhat less quirky but much more directly deceptive are their standard
smokescreen responses. It used to be that whenever I would raise the
issue of Jewish monopoly control of the mass media of news and
entertainment during an interview or on a call-in program, I would hear
the response from a Jew or an apologist for the Jews: "What about Ted
Turner? He's not a Jew," as if that negated everything I had said. Of
course, that response was used before Ted Turner's CNN was taken over by
the very Jewish Time Warner. And now that Ted Turner has been eased out
of all decision-making positions in the cable news network he built and
has been replaced by Jews, one doesn't hear the Ted Turner response any
longer.
The standard responses today, the ones I hear as often as I used to hear
the Ted Turner response, are the "it's the shareholders" and the "it's
the big bankers." Whenever I start naming names -- whenever I begin
talking about the control over the media wielded by Michael Eisner or
Sumner Redstone, for example, a Jew will pop up with the response:
"Those guys don't control the media. It's the shareholders who control
the media. Eisner and Redstone are just employees. The shareholders tell
them what to do." A variation on this theme is, "Eisner and Redstone
don't own the media. It's the big banks that own all of the media, and
most of the big bankers are Gentiles."
Well, of course, that's not really true, and they know it's not true.
The big Jewish media bosses are mostly quite autonomous. Sumner
Redstone, for example, owns outright two-thirds of the shares in his
media empire. His personal fortune is more than 12 billion dollars,
according to Forbes magazine this month. I'm quite sure he doesn't check
with any shareholders before he dreams up some new piece of race-mixing
filth for MTV.
As for Gentile bankers telling the Jewish media bosses what kind of
propaganda they must produce for the public, that's total nonsense. I
haven't yet done a study of the investment banking industry to determine
what percentage of Jews and what percentage of Gentiles are involved in
it, but one thing that's certain is that the Gentile bankers would faint
dead away at the thought of telling Jewish media bosses such as Michael
Eisner or the Sulzberger family or the Newhouses or Sumner Redstone to
cut back on the race-mixing propaganda. Gentile bankers as a class are
rich, deracinated capons, whose only interest is money.
Every Jewish propaganda medium -- CBS or MTV or Time magazine or the New
York Times -- is staffed from top to bottom with Jews, and they all know
what they're doing. They work as a tribe, as a swarm of termites gnawing
at the foundations of our existence. There is total agreement among the
media Jews as to the general thrust of their propaganda. They may
disagree on many of the details -- they may even compete against each
other for a bigger slice of the media pie -- but all agree on the
general goals of degrading and subverting Gentile civilization, of
corrupting Gentile institutions, of mongrelizing our race. Again, the
Jews work as a tribe, and that is the source of their strength and their
success.
Gentile bankers, on the other hand, work only for themselves. They would
not dream of combining and using their financial strength to protect our
people from the Jews. They are terrified of the Jews, of the media. The
more money they have, the more selfish and the more cowardly they are.
The huge difference, the decisive difference, between the Jews and our
people is that they work as a tribe, and we work as individuals. They
work together, rich Jews and poor Jews, for their common tribal
interests, against us, and until now we have failed to organize
effectively to defend ourselves against them.
Anyway, my point is that their defense against my exposure of their
activities and their power over our government is orchestrated -- that
is, they've all gotten together and decided what their defense will be
-- and it's a deliberate lie. As I continue to expose the destructive
activities of the Jewish media bosses, you will continue to hear them
and their apologists respond that they really don't have any power, that
it's the Gentile shareholders and the Gentile bankers who control the
media. A lot of dimwits will believe that lie. A lot of couch potatoes,
a lot of soccer moms, a lot of baseball fans, a lot of lemmings, will
believe that it's not the Jew Sumner Redstone who deliberately uses MTV
to corrupt White teenagers; instead it's some cabal of Gentile
shareholders and Gentile bankers who tell him what to do, and Redstone
is only an employee who follows their orders.
I think it's time for us to orchestrate our exposure of the Jewish
media. I think it's about time for the public, lemmings and all, to
begin hearing a uniform charge against them, a uniform statement of our
opposition to them. How about this: The Jews are our misfortune. That's
simple, and it's true, and it's easy to remember. Repeat after me: The
Jews are our misfortune. Let's use that statement. Let's let everyone
hear it. Let's impress it on everyone's consciousness: The Jews are our
misfortune.
Of course, when I say the Jews are our misfortune, I'm not talking only
about the Jewish media bosses. I'm not talking only about the Jews at
the top, such as Sumner Redstone and the Sulzbergers and Michael Eisner
and the others who formulate and direct the propaganda line against
Gentile society; I'm talking about the whole tribe, and I believe that
message comes across in the statement, the Jews are our misfortune. Let
me tell you what the standard lemming response will be to that
statement, the response that they have been taught and will parrot back.
First, from the religious lemmings it will be something like this: "Oh,
no, the Jews aren't our misfortune, we owe everything to the Jews. Don't
you know that Jesus was a Jew and God was his father? That makes God a
Jew. We must do what the Jews tell us. They are God's people." I'm sure
that argument is embarrassing to some of the more sophisticated
apologists for the Jews, but many Christian Fundamentalists use it, and
I've heard it often.
>From the secular lemmings it will be more like: "Don't you know that
Freud and Einstein and Salk were Jews? We wouldn't have a space program
if it weren't for Einstein. We wouldn't have a cure for polio if it
weren't for Salk. The Jews are our fortune, not our misfortune." Well,
of course, our space program has practically nothing to do with Einstein
or his Jewishness. Gentile thinkers envisioned it and pioneered both its
theoretical basis and its practical development. The German
theoretician, Hermann Oberth, and the Russian, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky,
were two of the Gentiles who independently demonstrated mathematically
the feasibility of space travel in the early years of the last century.
The American rocket pioneer Robert Goddard and the German Wernher von
Braun designed actual rockets and built the vehicles which were the
precursors of today's space ships. Jews didn't become involved until it
became glamorous and profitable. And the development of a polio vaccine
hardly would have missed a beat if Jonas Salk had gone into the garment
business instead of medicine. He was one of a team, and he got the
credit for the work of others as well as for his own work.
The reasons we hear these silly and groundless claims in the first place
about how much we owe the Jews -- the reasons are Jewish media control
and Jewish tribalism, Jewish support for their own. Freud was given the
enormous buildup he received for his theorizing about anal personalities
and penis envy and the like because he was a Jew, not because of any
genuine merit in his theorizing. Other Jewish writers recognized him as
one of their own and propelled him to a position of undeserved
authority, and his theories ultimately did an enormous amount of damage
to the development of our understanding of psychology and mental
disease. Einstein was a competent mathematical physicist, but a great
deal of the publicity he received was based on the fact that he was a
Jew rather than on the merits of his work. As in the case of Salk,
Jewish publicists gave Einstein credit for the work of others as well as
for his own work.
What we must do is look at the balance sheet. Is the damage done to our
race by Karl Marx and all of his Jewish followers in the communist
movement -- the selective murder of more than 30 million of the best of
our people in Europe during the past century -- offset by whatever
contributions Einstein and Salk and other Jews have made -- even if they
did everything their Jewish boosters claim for them? Certainly, there
have been many other Jews who were competent and creative engineers and
scientists besides Einstein and Salk. Not every clever Jew became a
lawyer or a scriptwriter or a pawn shop owner or a middleman. Some
became chemists or mathematicians or physicists. But can all of them
together make up for the mass murders Lazar Kaganovich perpetrated
aginst the Ukrainians, for the rapes and murders of German civilians
instigated by Ilya Ehrenburg, for the Eastern European girls still being
forced into sexual slavery on a huge scale today by Israeli slave
dealers?
I think not. And I have not yet put on the balance sheet what the Jewish
masters of America's mass media have done and are doing to us. What can
possibly compensate White Americans for the deliberate, malevolent
corruption of our young people by just one Jewish gangster like Sumner
Redstone and his MTV? The race-mixing, culture-destroying, hip-hop filth
churned out by Sumner Redstone's MTV seven days a week is the single
most destructive influence in American life today. And of course,
Redstone doesn't produce this filth all by himself. He has thousands of
Jews working for him at every level, not only in MTV but also in CBS and
in Paramount Pictures and in all of his other media properties.
And although MTV, targeting White teenagers as it does, may seem the
most blatantly and maliciously destructive of the Jewish media, it is
hardly much worse than some of the filth being poured into the minds of
the American public by Michael Eisner's Disney empire: especially by its
Miramax films division under the Weinstein brothers. The fact that much
of the entertainment produced by Eisner's Disney Company is relatively
innocuous does not compensate for the fact that some of it is pure
poison. The poison is being introduced gradually, more and more each
year, and it is having its effect. When the Disney Company was entirely
a Gentile company a few years ago, its output of entertainment may
sometimes have been excessively bland, but none of it was poison
designed to corrupt White Americans.
And what can possibly compensate on our balance sheet for what the
Jewish news media are doing in their deliberate, calculated distortion
of the picture of the world seen by the American public. It is a picture
which has been designed to confuse White Americans, to undermine their
self-confidence, to induce feelings of racial guilt in them. Just one
example: the systematic suppression of the news of Black crimes against
White people and the exaggeration of the news of every White crime
against non-Whites is not a fluke. It is done routinely by all of the
Jewish news media: by the New York Times, by the Washington Post, by
Time magazine and Newsweek magazine, by CNN and ABC News and CBS News
and NBC News and all the rest. And interracial crime is just one issue.
The relations between the sexes; immigration; the foreign relations of
the United States with the rest of the world, especially in the Middle
East; and a hundred other important issues are similarly distorted in
their portrayal by the media. This deliberate distortion of the public's
view of the world has done irreparable damage to the American system of
government and to American society. And again: the distortion has been
deliberate, planned, systematic, and intended to do harm to us. No
number of funny Jewish comedians, or successful Jewish entrepreneurs in
Silicon Valley or on Wall Street, or clever Jewish medical researchers
can compensate for this harm.
When we look at the balance sheet the conclusion is clear beyond any
doubt: the Jews are our misfortune. It's way past time for us to accept
this conclusion, to overcome our fears of being labeled "anti-Semitic"
for accepting this conclusion, to brush aside these fears which have
been instilled in us by the propaganda of the mass media, and then to
begin working to improve our fortunes.
Thanks for being with me again today.

They do that work because they are paid. Communists think people will

What if someone smashes the toilet, takes a turd on the floor, and pisses

THE REAL GOAL OF FEMINISM: TRANSFORMING SOCIETY
Antonia Feitz
Speech delivered at the Inverell Forum 2000, 2/3/00
1. The Problem
Ladies and gentlemen, my topic is feminism and some of you may be wondering
why, given our country's parlous state. Our national sovereignty is being
destroyed by the the over-riding of our domestic laws and the signing of UN
treaties - with no consultation and with no public or even parliamentary
debate.
So why feminism? Because feminists are at the vanguard of the phalanx of
fools, the useful idiots, the ideologues, who are destroying our hard won
rights and our national sovereignty.
We live in an age of ideology. God has been pronounced dead, and
Chesterton's witticism has proven true: when people no longer believe in
God, they'll believe in anything. And the post-Christian people of the West
are proof, holding beliefs which their grandparents would have dismissed as
absolute nonsense, and contrary to all common sense let alone morality.
Take extreme environmentalists. Apart from literally worshiping trees, they
exalt the welfare of frogs and even insects over that of people. Believe it
or not, there's even a Voluntary Human Extinction Movement [1]. Homosexuals
demand their relationships be accorded equal status with marriage, including
the 'right' to adopt children. And under the banner of multiculturalism,
Australian children are either kept ignorant, or taught to be ashamed of
their own heritage and history, while simultaneously being taught to value
ethnic and especially indigenous cultures.
But arguably, feminism is the most pernicious of the ideologies that plague
us, simply because the relationship between men and women affects all of us.
I must stress that modern feminists are not the heirs of the suffragettes
who fought for equal rights such as the right to vote and property rights.
Modern feminists are not seeking equal rights for women. They want to
transform society, and that's no conspiracy theory because they freely admit
it.
Take CEDAW. It's the acronym for the Convention on the Elimination of all
Forms of Discrimination against Women. (You can discriminate against men
till the cows come home). This convention's goals are not reformist, but
revolutionary. It openly calls for the elimination of traditional sex roles,
and the re-writing of text books to purge them of alleged sexual
stereotypes. The UN's call for the total disarmament of the world's people
is embedded in CEDAW's preamble.
According to the feminists who constitute the CEDAW Committee, until nations
achieve a 50-50 sexual split in everything - in occupations, in public life,
and even in the domestic sphere - they are discriminating against women. Now
that might sound far-fetched, but article 5 of CEDAW advocates "a proper
understanding of maternity as a social function." Note the socialist
bullying in the word, 'proper'.
This "proper understanding" demands that child-rearing - universally! -
should be "a fully shared responsibility ... by both sexes." It also insists
that society has an obligation to extend child care services to "allow
individuals to combine family responsibilities with work and participation
in public life."
The message to women is: you will participate in work and public life
whether you want to or not. In a now notorious interview with Betty Friedan,
Simone de Beauvoir said: "No woman should be authorised to stay at home and
raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not
have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many
women will make that one." [2]
So much for freedom of choice. These bully-girls demand "a change in the
traditional role of men as well as the role of women in society and in the
family ... to achieve full equality of men and women". Their version of
equality is complete identity. It's reminiscent of communist China in Mao's
time. The communists were all feminists too. Remember?
To achieve the goal of sexual identity, Article 10c mandates the revision of
textbooks, school programmes and teaching methods with a view to eliminating
stereotyped concepts. This must be why one of my children's French textbooks
showed Dad in an apron washing the dishes while Mum, dressed in a chic suit
and carrying a briefcase, waved ta-ta to the baby in the high-chair. A
French textbook! Textbooks in all subjects are being used to indoctrinate
children in our schools. It's just too bad if individuals prefer the
traditional roles when they have young children - as most people actually
do.
According to CEDAW's Preamble, all nations are "obliged to work towards the
modification of social and cultural patterns of INDIVIDUAL [emphasis added]
conduct in order to eliminate prejudices and customary and all other
practices which are based on ... stereotyped roles for men and women."
These intolerant ideologues who so loudly criticise Christian evangelists
are far worse. At least religious conversion is voluntary! But incredibly,
the CEDAW Committee has instructed Libya to re-interpret its sacred book,
the Koran, in ways that are permissible under CEDAW. The Algerian government
was castigated for "using religion as an excuse" for failure to comply with
CEDAW. The Committee has also instructed China to legalise prostitution. [3]
Whatever happened to national sovereignty? And how hypocritical is the UN?
On the one hand it supposedly values the diversity of the world's nations
and cultures. But on the other hand, with CEDAW, it demands that the world's
nations and cultures must conform to the deranged and frequently immoral
opinions of Western feminists who themselves are a minority in their own
countries...
The first lie is that men and women are interchangeable, and that there
aren't any differences between the sexes apart from anatomical ones. In
fact, feminists claim that there aren't two sexes at all but at least five
genders, which are socially constructed. They regard heterosexual men and
women as being hopelessly repressed in gender stereotypes forced upon them
by society. Their life's mission is to liberate us from these imposed
stereotypes.
To achieve the interchangeability, feminists at first tirelessly promoted
the traditional male life pattern of un-interrupted full-time work as the
norm for women. Creches and childcare were demanded to free women from
domesticity, whether they wanted to be 'freed' or not. In Australia, groups
such as the Women's Electoral Lobby fought to change Australia's tax system
from a family-friendly one to a profoundly unjust one where a married man
with a family pays virtually the same tax as a single man. They won, and
their victory clearly shows the contempt for ordinary women that is the
hallmark of feminism.
But seeing as ignoring babies doesn't go down too well with most mothers,
feminists have changed tack. If they can't force women to be like men, then
they'll force men to be like women. The sexes MUST be interchangeable for
their gender theory to work. This is behind the increasingly hectoring calls
for men to avail themselves of the 'opportunity' of part-time work and to do
more domestic work out of 'fairness'. Australian academic Ken Dempsey
deplores the fact that most of the women in his surveys on domestic work
perversely fail to see they're oppressed [5]...
The first lie was that there are no differences between the sexes. The
second and contradictory lie is that women are in fact superior to men.
Increasingly, feminists claim that maleness is some sort of pathology, in
need of a cure. And so there is a widespread demonization of men in our
culture, with disastrous effects on young males who are made to feel ashamed
of their sex and to scorn the manly virtues. And then politicians, academics
and social commentators have the hide to express concern about male suicide
rates.
Increasingly men are being regarded and treated as second class citizens,
being freely discriminated against in employment via affirmative action
programmes. Feminists contemptuously dismiss the achievements of Western
civilization as the product of 'dead white males'. And they're doing their
best to overthrow it and replace it with their own socialist hell where
every facet of life will be regimented, even down to doing the housework.
It's already happened in one German state [7].
There are some chilling prospects in store for men if they win. For instance
the president of the Center for Advancement of Public Policy in Washington
DC, has proposed that men's fertility be controlled by mandatory
contraception beginning at puberty. Boys would be forced to have
contraceptive implants along with compulsory DNA fingerprinting. Doctors
would have to report anybody who refused the implants or sought medical
attention after trying to remove them himself [8]. This is not sci-fi,
folks, this is now...
Only feminist ideologues could fail to see that the presence of women on a
battlefield weakens combat readiness. But for feminists, national security
comes second to ideological purity. The sexes must be identical, and it look
like Britain is set to jetison its military heritage and join the Americans
in having women in combat.
5. Education
In education, the transformation starts with unsubtle brainwashing in
pre-schools B. Believe it or not, Australian pre-schools have banned
Cinderella and Superman.
Yes, the National Childcare Accreditation Council's handbook states that
"anything that emphasises men and women in traditional masculine and
feminine roles" is outlawed [20]. Along with Superman and Cinderella,
favourite authors like Hans Christian Anderson and CS Lewis have also been
given the boot. Staff are discouraged from telling little boys and girls
that they look handsome or pretty respectively, and from providing
'stereotyped' toys. When the council's General Manager was challenged about
promoting views so contrary to community standards she defended the
guidelines claiming that they were voluntary . Well yes, I suppose if a
childcare centre is happy to risk its accreditation and hence funding, it
can choose to flout the 'recommendations'. Soft totalitarianism indeed...

The Bible is against homosexual perversion.
By David M. Bresnahan Š 2000, WorldNetDaily.com, Inc.
"You shouldn't have done it. It ruined our lives," cried one of several boys
from the back row of a Medina, Ohio, courtroom last week. Michael Maggy, 35,
a former Boy Scout leader, had just pleaded guilty to rape and sexual
battery, and the poignant comments from his victims were brought home by a
sentence of life in prison issued by Medina County Common Pleas Judge
Christopher J. Collier. "I know what I have done to you," Maggy said to his
scout victims, as reported in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I can't apologize
enough." Confessing that he too had been sexually molested as a boy, Maggy
said he had lacked the courage to seek help. "I did not get counseling or
even talk about it. Look where it got me," he said.
Crafting 'gay' children
Many homosexuals are attracted to young boys, they fantasize about young
boys, they frequent websites about young boys, they cruise the streets for
young boys, and they volunteer as Boy Scout leaders in an attempt to have
sex with young boys, according to a world-renowned researcher and author.
Dr. Judith Reisman, formerly a research professor at American University,
veteran pornography researcher and expert witness before the attorney
general's commission on pornography, is the author of "Kinsey: Crimes and
Consequences." Having extensively researched the homosexual lifestyle,
Reisman and other experts have reached some disturbing conclusions. Contrary
to the popular view that there is little crossover between homosexuality and
pedophilia, she says homosexuals are anxious to recruit young boys -- a
practice that is becoming easier thanks to sex education and "diversity
programs" in schools that teach children to consider homosexuality as both
acceptable and normal.
In one of the major cultural battlefronts of the year, the Boy Scouts of
America has taken the legal challenges to it before the Supreme Court and
won the right to deny avowed homosexuals entrance as adult leaders.
Nevertheless, ever since the BSA's founding early last century, it has been
plagued with a constant undercurrent of pedophile scout leaders preying on
the vulnerable, trusting boys they "lead."
Greg Shields, Boy Scouts of America's national spokesman, says homosexuals
cannot serve as examples to young boys because they do not live by the Scout
Oath to be "morally straight." Although painfully aware of the problems BSA
has had over the years of men preying on boys, Shields takes a somewhat
corporate and elusive line in separating the organization's homosexual
policy from its child sexual abuse policy.
"Unfortunately, child molestation can come from anyone. We are teaching boys
character values. Everyone knows where we stand on this. We have never
accepted homosexuals as leaders and we never will," said Shields. But
Reisman says what 90 years of police blotter statistics prove -- that young
boys are in real danger of sexual molestation, and that the BSA has sound
reasons to ban homosexuals.
Reisman conducted two recent scientific studies that challenge the popular
mantra of homosexual activists who insist that: 1) they are "born that way,"
2) homosexuals make up 10 percent of the population, and 3) youths should be
able to have sex at an early age.
"Crafting 'Gay' Children: An Inquiry into the Abuse of Vulnerable Youth Via
Establishment Media and the School Room" and "Partner Solicitation Language
as a Reflection of Male Sexual Orientation," are continuations of the work
Reisman began with her study, "Kinsey: Crimes & Consequences."
(Regarding her book, Charles E. Rice, professor of law at Notre Dame Law
School, notes, "Dr. Reisman's study supports the conclusion that Alfred
Kinsey's research was contrived, ideologically driven and misleading. Any
judge, legislator or other public official who gives credence to that
research is guilty of malpractice and dereliction of duty.")
Since the Supreme Court's June 28 decision in favor of the Boy Scouts,
activist attacks on the 90-year-old organization have increased
dramatically.
Homosexual political organizations have gone into overdrive, lobbying and
threatening corporate sponsors to discontinue their support; President
Clinton has been urged to step down as honorary president of BSA; a few
members of Congress even tried -- unsuccessfully -- to revoke the
organization's honorary charter. And Clinton even signed an executive order,
which was followed in lockstep by a Justice Department memo designed to
evict the Boy Scouts from federal lands and facilities -- on the grounds
that the organization illegally discriminates against homosexuals. All this,
in spite of the Supreme Court's favorable decision three months earlier.
Although homosexual activists claim they are no more likely to sexually
molest children than heterosexuals are, Reisman says research proves the
opposite. "They're claiming that homosexuals are not looking to have sex
with boys, yet you have this massive number of boys out there prostituting
themselves. And how do you have all these Internet sites if they're not
looking for boys? This is not heterosexual. By definition, when you're
having sex with someone of your own sex, that's homosexual," Reisman said.
Based on data from a study of non-incarcerated child sex offenders, Gene G.
Abel, M.D., has found that homosexuals "sexually molest young boys with an
incidence that is occurring five times greater than the molestation of
girls."
A professor of psychiatry who has taught at several medical schools,
including Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Abel is
currently affiliated with Emory University School of Medicine and Morehouse
School of Medicine. He has been a research scientist in the field of sexual
violence for 25 years, and the National Institute of Mental Health has
awarded him funding for six long-term studies to investigate sexual violence
and to design new ways to stop it.
Specifically, Abel's report provides data to show that, on average, 150.2
boys are molested per homosexual pedophile offender, whereas only 19.8 girls
are molested per heterosexual pedophile offender. Incredibly, homosexual
offenders admitted between 23.4 and 281.7 acts of molesting boys.
Reisman's research in "Crafting 'Gay' Children" determined that the total
population of homosexual men in America was no more than 2 million in 1991.
During the same year, "U.S. Population, Statistical Abstracts" show that 6-8
million boys under age 18 were sexually abused.
Meanwhile, the population of heterosexual men in the U.S. was approximately
86--88 million in 1991, and an estimated eight million girls were sexually
abused that year.
Based on the government's own statistics -- the "Statistical Abstract of the
United States, 1992, Data on Boys and Girls," published by the U.S. Commerce
Department -- Reisman cited the following for that year:
Of 86 - 88 million heterosexual men, 9 percent of them victimized 8 million
girls under age 18, which constitutes 25 percent of all girls.
An uncertain percentage of the estimated 2 million homosexual men victimized
6-8 million boys, under age 18, amounting to 17 - 24 percent of all boys.
Therefore, considered in the aggregate, 3 to 4 boys are sexually molested
per homosexual adult male.
Only .09 girls are sexually molested per heterosexual adult male, which is
to say that, on average, 1 in 11 heterosexual males victimizes a girl under
18.
Within the child protection establishment, sexual abuse is defined simply as
an adult having sex with a juvenile under age 18 -- whether "consensual" or
not. When dealing with children, "consensual" is not the legitimizing
criterion it is for adults. Indeed, almost invariably, sexual predators
defend their "loving" physical relationships with children as being
"consensual," when in reality the seduction and manipulation of children --
resulting in their "consent" -- is both an art form and the stock in trade
of pedophiles. The Simon and Schuster book "Homosexualities," by Alan Bell,
reports that 25 percent of homosexual men admit to having had sex with boys
who are 16 or under.
Further corroborating this well-hidden homosexual proclivity for targeting
younger males are the following findings published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association:
50 percent of male AIDS victims reported having sex with an adult male by
the age of 16. 20 percent of male AIDS victims had sex with an adult male by
age 10.
"The Advocate," a popular homosexual newsmagazine, conducted a survey of its
readers. Of the 2,500 responses obtained, 21 percent admitted that an adult
man committed a sexual act with them by the time they were 15.
'The ideal situation' Boy Scout camping trips provide a perfect setting for
homosexuals to pursue their forbidden desires, according to Reisman, who
added that any organization that provides opportunities for homosexuals to
spend time with young boys will become a magnet for homosexual child
molesters.
Of all the various youth groups today, "the Boy Scouts provide the ideal
situation" for men to find young boys to molest, according to Reisman.
The BSA has strict rules designed to prevent child abuse of all kinds, said
Shields. Rules include "Two-Deep Leadership," which requires a minimum of
two adults to be present with boys at all times. Another basic rule is that
adults may not be in the same tent as boys (except their own children).
Shields told WorldNet that when the rules are followed, there are no
problems. "Each incident (of abuse) took place when the leaders were not
trained or the rules weren't followed," he said.
Despite the BSA training and rules, the incidents of reported child
molestation have been on the rise. The scouting organization attributes the
increase to greater awareness because of the training given to boys and to a
record number of boys in the program -- about 5 million. BSA statistics and
various media reports over the past 20 years show a near-tripling of sexual
abuse cases -- from about 70 cases a year then to about 200 annually now.
Reisman expressed concern that the BSA rules may not go far enough. The
ideal situation, she said, is for fathers to go on camping trips with their
sons. Fathers should stay in tents with their own sons, and boys who are not
related to them should not sleep in their tent. She recognized, however,
that not all boys have a father to go with them. She also advised that
young, single men should never be permitted to camp with boys, but that it
would be ideal, rather, if leaders are married and have children
participating in the program.
The 'helping hand'
In Gilbert Herdt's book, "Gay and Lesbian Youth," Douglas Feldman, a medical
anthropologist and a member of the homosexual activist community, is quoted
as saying, "These kids are our future and we must invest in them." Feldman
states that teen-agers are "very susceptible to sexually transmitted
diseases," and that sexually abused boys "have about a 1 in 4 chance of
developing AIDS in approximately five years."
Herdt speaks of adult male homosexuals as "coaches" and "guides" who should
help young boys overcome their heterosexual "victim" status by "coming out"
into homosexuality.
Reisman blames the nation's public schools and lawmakers for granting
various protections to such "coaches" and "guides" within the nation's
schools. "They teach confused children about tolerance, sexual diversity and
such. They like to tell young boys that 'at least one in 10 of you are gay.'
Anyone who objects is immediately labeled homophobic," she said.
In his study, "The Role of Adult Advisors" (as quoted from Herdt's "Gay
Culture in America"), homosexual advocate Frederick Lynch says, "What has
not been brought out fully in some other coming-out studies is the role of
the guide, teacher or 'helping hand' in either the signification state, the
coming-out stage or both ... the often benign and helpful role that older,
more experienced homosexual men play with regard to younger (males)."
Reisman is concerned that educators have embraced the homosexual agenda and
now encourage boys to have sex with each other at an early age. One of the
places such experimentation could easily take place is in a tent during a
Boy Scout camping trip, she said. Boys who have been told that
experimentation is acceptable may also be willing to accept the advances of
an adult male or older boy, she added.
"They tell these impressionable kids that if they feel different, confused,
strange, or if they are questioning, that they may be gay," she said. "What
child isn't confused at that age, anyway? These kids don't know what to
think, and then they're told it's OK to experiment to find out."

They would elect smart people to make the hard decisions. They would

Um... that's how Hitler came to power -- legally. Then he appointed people.
He was considered a great leader until people found out what he was really
doing. So what you really want is a dictatorship. And it's strange, too.
You said in another post that you wanted laws which are voted on by the
people, yet you want public officials to be appointed. It just doesn't make
sense. I can only assume that you must be a Russian immigrant. I think
they like having great leaders who will take care of them and appoint other
great leaders.

But sometimes very smart people don't have much compassion. They come up
with perfect world solutions without considering how the people would feel
about it. So while their solution may solve a problem, it would lower the
morale of the people because everyone would be treated like lab rats without
feelings.

Those are already outlawed. Do we live in a perfect world? No. Would
repealing those laws make things better? Maybe and maybe not. But by
changing the laws we have, we can get new problems that may have more easily

Overtime laws suck because they're mandatory. I cannot, even if I want to,

as I'd like, or I have to get a second job I might not care so much about.

Hmmm. So if a Wiccan, as a practice of their belief system, choose not to

words, do you think people in society should always be on the lookout for
opportunities to make moral judgments against others in society?

Huh? I've never heard Wiccans refered to as feminists, but I do believe
they're "equalists" if I may coin a new term. Males can be Wiccans, too,

This is not a bad thing. Even if one changes from one unproven belief to
another, it's better than holding the same one for generation after
generation. At some point you have an experience which tells you, "Hmmm...
that must not be it." People have personal experiences that defy
traditional doctrines, so they change. To continue to hold the same beliefs
in the face of your own personal experiences proving otherwise is foolish.

Nothing wrong with that one. But I don't think anybody under 45-50 years

There are pros and cons to disarming the world. For one thing, I'd hate to
find out that some crooked cop sold a bunch of guns to a gang of criminals
who then unleash terror on an unarmed populace. And if the gun were stolen,
it would be even worse. I'm all for these new non-lethal forms of policing.
If the world is going to be disarmed, then I don't want any cops or armies
to have guns, either. In fact, I don't think we should have militaries at
all -- none of us should. If these governments want to fight over policies,
let the people responsible for making these policies get out in the
battlefield and duke it out with their bare hands instead of getting
innocent civilians to do their fighting for them. Leave me alone. I don't
care what you guys do, but I want nothing to do with your foolishness.

I have no problem with a 50-50 sexual split. But I don't think employers
should be "forced" to have half women and half men. Maybe no woman wants
the job. Maybe the woman's breasts would be so large that they become a
violation of OSHA standards because they could get caught in some machinery.
And what about kids? Kids seem to have fewer rights than anybody in the
world, and yet with their fresh insight on the world, they often ask the
simplest questions and can come up with solutions that the tired brains of
Congress can't figure out. If kids can build million dollar web companies
at 13 years old, then they should be free to have jobs if they want to have
them, and not for just two measly dollars per hour. Give them a real wage!

Allowing the retired folks of the community to raise the kids would take the
burden off the people who still work, and what better wisdom can be given to
kids than that of their grandparents? Have your kids at a young age. Give
the responsibility of raising them to the whole community, not just your own
grandparents. Give your kids the knowledge and experience of the whole
community, not just the things experienced by your own, narrow family. It
must be natures way because our elders typically always beg for grandkids
right after their own kids get married. And if all the elders had the
variety of being able to raise all kinds of kids, the kids would broaden
their understanding of different types of people, and I think crime would
drop drastically as a result. I mean, who would want to rob or murder
someone who has been a part of their life since they were babies?

I thing that's going too far. If a woman *wants* to stay hom and raise the
kids, she should be able to. She shouldn't be forced to, however.

The rise and fall of the white man. IIRC, there was a time when all white
men were slaves to a dominating female power; sex slaves, too. It would be

What's in the works is mandatory contraception *coverage* in health
insurance policies in hopes that it would lower the demand for abortions.
Another legislative proposal is for contraceptive implants for drug-addicted
mothers. Still another, which would probably never get off the ground if it
were not for capitalism, is this mandatory contraception as part of an
effort to reduce teen pregancy. Unfortunately, one vaccine maker (Merke &
Co.) would stand to profit from such mandatory laws, so they support it.
State health departments would make money, so they support it.
And here's a quote from http://www.crowmagazine.com/ms-sperm.htm
So how do we control men’s fertility? Mandatory
contraception beginning at puberty, with the rule
relaxed only for procreation under the right
circumstances (he can afford it and has a willing
partner) and for the right reasons (determined by a
panel of experts, and with the persmission of his
designated female partner). This could be easily
accomplished with a masculine version of the
contraceptive implants some judges are now trying to
force on some women by court order.
I guess I should be glad I'm gay. I'd hate to have to have one of those
implants stuck off in me because you will *not* find me around some skanky
fish. No offense to the ladies here. I get along quite well with women.
Just don't expect to get me in bed because I will run out of the room
screaming.
But anyway, why only force the males? Why not tie the woman's tubes? If
you're going to do one, you've got to do both. I have Charlton Heston's
view on guns in this case. You can pry my balls from my cold, dead hands.
The article continues:
Controlling men’s fertility would not be a hard
restriction to enforce. The fertility authorities
could use a combination of punishments for men who
failed to get the implants and for doctors who removed
them without proper authorization. The men could be
required to adopt one orphan per infraction and rear
her or him until adulthood. The doctors, could lose
their licences or, in extreme cases, go to prison.
Oh, this is great. There are already enough kids out there who feel
unwanted and unloved without forcing men to take kids they don't necessarily
want. This could result in the abuse of innocent kids. I think their idea
sucks. Whatever woman dreamed this article up should receive a hot Crisco
douche because she does not deserve to reproduce.
Anyway, I can't imagine any Christian going along with this idea since it
defiles Creation.

No, it isn't. Here are a couple of passages from the Bible that show how
God sees such immoral practices:
I'm always amused when people like to quote these verses from Romans. Let's
"analyze" this.
ROMANS 1 - 27 - Likewise also, the men leaving the
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence
of their error which was meet.
People like to see what they want to see in these passages, but let's have a
closer look, first by getting some definitions:
- unseemly: adj. 1. Not in accord with accepted standards of good taste;
grossly improper. See note at improper. 2. Not suited to the circumstances;
inappropriate. (note at improper: What is unseemly or indelicate is in gross
violation of good taste;)
- recompence (recompense): n. Amends made, as for damage or loss.
- meet: adj. 1. Fitting; proper: “It seems not meet, nor wholesome to my
place”
So just in the first verse, we see that the men left the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust for one another, working that which was unseemly
or not in accord with accepted standards of good taste. However, Our God,
Our Awesome God from Heaven Above, in his infinte Grace and Mercy, gave
recompense to the men. God made amends for the damage and the error of the
men was meet -- made fitting and proper. This verse is saying that God gave
the men the right to be gay without his punishemnt. What was once an error
has now been recompensed to normality, made fitting and proper.
ROMANS 1 - 28 - And even as they did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a
reprobate mind, to do these things which are not
convenient;
A few more definitions. Also, keep in mind that the sentence contains
"reprobate mind" and "reprobate" would be the adjective and "mind" is the
noun as the object of the prepostion:
reprobate: adj. 1. Morally unprincipled; shameless. | Theology 2. Rejected
by God and without hope of salvation.
Now, as for "mind", something interesting happens. As with any word, there
are a number of definitions that can be used. But the one that's most
interesting to me is this one:
mind: A person or group that embodies certain mental qualities: the medical
mind; the public mind.
Given that definition, these men were given over to a "reprobate mind" or a
"public mind" that is shameless and morally unprincipled. If God is a
respecter of no one, as you say, and none are worthy except by the grace of
God, then God has simply made homosexuals equal with all others, worthy of
death, capable of being saved. We are all reprobates. We are a collective
reprobate mind:
ROMANS 3 - [9] What then? are we better than they?
No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and
Gentiles, that they are all under sin; [10] As it is
written, There is none righteous, no, not one: [11]
There is none that understandeth, there is none that
seeketh after God. [12] They are all gone out of the
way, they are together become unprofitable; there is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
So for straight people to judge gays is nothing more than the pot calling
the kettle black.
ROMANS 1 - [29] Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, [30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful,

That is utter nonsense! What we will not do is punish boys for doing things
that are "gay," such as playing with dolls, dressing up as girls or baking
muffins. That is not recruitment. It is allowing people to be who they are
naturally. Many boys go through a stage of curiosity about other boys and
most happily move on to heterosexual lifestyles. Only about 10% of the
population is gay.

Since the alternative may be to teach kids that it's normal to tie people to
a fence and beat them because they're gay, I'd gladly accept what is being
taught in sex education classes.

I've never read any of those materials and I don't want to. But as one who
has had a 13-year-old come on to me, and as one who has heard the stories of
others who have had similar things happen to them, I can say without a doubt
that often it is the boys who are seducing the men who may indeed have a
weakness when it comes to boys, but who could, under normal circumstances,
control it and live comfortably in society. I resisted when an attempt was
made by a boy to seduce me and I explained to him quite simply that it was
illegal. He looked crushed, I felt like crap for having to be the one to
tell him, and he just sat there for a few seconds with a blank expression on
his face, but looking somewhat like he wondered what went wrong and whether
he thought that I thought he was unattractive or unworthy or what. After
talking to him some more about it and explaining why nothing could could
ever happen, he seemed disappointed, but satisfied with the answer, and
thanksfully, nothing else ever happened again.
I think the authorities may be aware that boys do indeed seduce men, but all
the responsibility lies on the adult to resist the seduction. I think the
argument from pedophiles is that both persons in the relationship are
clearly willing and able, and that trust should be given to the adult to
make sure no harm comes to the minor. Certainly, injuries can occur, but
injuries can occur from rollerblading, bike riding, playing football and
otherwise being a human. But I've never actually met anyone who was injured
by having an orgasm. And when you talk about the murder and rape of
children, that could very well be caused by age of consent laws themselves.
If a man "desires" a child, but he doesn't want to get caught, well, dead
men don't talk, and that goes for boys, too. Once a man has finished his
secret sexual affair with a minor, to keep himself out of legal trouble, he
may off the kid and leave him in a ditch. He's much less likely to get
caught that way. So people don't really seem to think these laws through
when they're made up.
I'm sure someone is going to call me a pedophile sympathizer or even a
pedophile, but I assure you, physical sex disgusts me and I'm not interested
in it in the least. I've had sex about three times in my 31 years of life.
First with a girl when I was 17 and she was 16, and I didn't particularly
care for it. Then with another guy when I was 19 and he was 18, which I
also didn't like. Then when I was 25 I messed around with a 32-year-old and
didn't like that, either. So I'm through with sex. I like the contents of
my imagination much more than I like having sex with anything on this
planet.

When I was a young boy, I always wished some man would take me out in the
woods and "do things" to me. Unforuntately it never happened. I have
talked to someone who it did happen to, though, and he said he always wanted
the same thing until it actually happened, but from the way he was talking,
the man who did it to him wasn't particularly gentle and wasn't
"lubricated".

But you find that some of those are adults now and have no regrets about the
relationships they had. Clearly there is a difference in some of the
relationships. Just like you have wife beaters in straight marriages, you
will have abusers in relationships between adults and teens or children.
But there are also loving marriages, just like men retell stories of affairs
they had with adults from a very young age, and there were good experiences
to be told.
I only get involved in these types of discussions in hopes of circulating
ideas to build a society based less on hatred and misunderstanding. People
need education in these areas because to arbitrarily label all adult-youth
relationships as detrimental to the youth is foolish without knowing all the
facts.

Yeah? I know one kid who constantly asks me for advice because he knows I'm
gay. I don't suggest anything to him that he doesn't come up with himself.
He asks me for web links to gay sites, and I give him links to gay youth
communities. And no, I'm not the least bit interested in "having sex" with
him. He may have nobody in his life he can turn to besides me and I don't
want to be his "last hope for advice" and then turn him away by shaming him
for asking such questions.

When sex education classes start covering homosexual topics and telling kids
that it's okay to be homosexual, it's all about building a more peaceful
society. If some kid grows up thinking he has to live in the closet, the
stress can be overwhelming. It is these kids who often go on shooting
rampages or commit suicide. By making society a comfortable place for ALL
people, we can reduce the liklihood of another Columbine High School
incident and we can reduce suicides among all age groups.

I've never heard of that before. I don't necessarily think it should be

That's a good thing. If a kid needs questions answered, experimentation is
nature's way of answering those questions. This goes with anything. Do you
like the looks of what's on your plate at dinner? It all looks good. But
will you like the taste? How do you figure that out? Do you ask your
parents? Your parents may say that your boiled spinach tastes wonderful,
but if you taste it, you're experimenting to see how it suits you. If it's
nasty, you don't eat it again. If you like it, you do eat it more often.
If a boy doesn't like a sexual experience with another boy, he won't do it
again. But sometimes when one boy A advances on boy B, boy B will say, "Hey
don't do that! That's gay!" This is a conditioned response because all
things being natural an uninterfered with, boys do not know the difference
between gay and straight. It is taught by society. Somewhere along the
line, boy B might have done something around his father or around another
boy who responded with "Hey, that's gay and you shouldn't do that!" So boy
B has been taught to resist things that are gay, like the advances from boy
A.

No they're not. If there is no stripe on the road, I drive in the middle.
When I see a car coming, I move to the left and he moves to his left. We
avoid each other. These little nitpicky laws are not necessary because as
humans, we have the intelligence to notice that all the cars on one side of
the highway are moving in one direction and all the cars on the opposite
side are moving in the opposite direction. If you wiped that law off the
books today, people will continue to drive on the right side of the road.
People who do get a wild hair on their asses and decide to drive on the left
side of the road could be cited with public endangerment.

I can see it going either way. If we go to the right, society will be much
like the vision of some moviemakers: a place where audio sensors detect the
speech of everyone and when profanity is detected, a voiceprint is acquired.
Since no two people have exactly the same voiceprint, whoever spoke the
profane word will have X number of credits deducted from their account. If
your hair is too long, you will have credits deducted for every day you go
without cutting it. If beards and mustaches are outlawed, then you will be
fined for those infractions, too. Is that really the kind of society you
want to live in? I don't. I like variety and you can have variety with a
leftist approach to society. People on the right want LAW AND ORDER at all
costs because they don't trust people to be intelligent enough to rule
themselves. After that would probably come a plutocracy. The rich people
in the world would rule the poor people.
I'll take the left, thank you.

So you're saying we should all be forced to live in fear of punishment just

understand the nature of death better than they do now, so it won't be so

Consider Planet of the Apes. Suppose it was considered good smoke pot, but
considered bad not to smoke pot. Would you want a law forcing you to smoke
pot if you didn't want to? I predict you will answer "no". Well, I don't
want laws forcing me not to smoke pot because I think it's good. At the
same time, I don't think it's bad for you not to smoke pot and I respect
your decision. Unfortunately you do not offer the same respect in return.
You simply think I'm a bad person, for some strange reason.

Besides, anarchism is not the absence of moral and civil

its statutory laws. Anarchism is possible because there
are universally agreed upon moral and civil laws.
Also, in an anarchy, people who are immature adults,
anti-social -- i.e., dishonest and dishonorable --
in their social dealings/practices can be punished for
this by the community. There can be punishment for
criminal acts, even if there is no totalitarian police

Wrong. Communists believe no person will elect to do

Again, assuming there are hard decisions the people can't
prudently make because of their mental inabilities, the
people could choose to elect those with better abilities
to decide the best way to achieve what all the people
desire. The people can choose the best social objectives
they favor, and if necessary the people can choose the
best minds to determine the best possible method by which
to realize that social objective.
To use an example, the people could decide if they want
to use atomic energy as a source of power, and the people
can elect Einsteins and other scientists who can determine
the best possible ways to achieve a safe use of atomic
energy. In a real and true democracy, the people decide
social ends, and they elect qualified peers to decide the
best means to make a social objective fully real.

Ron Allen answers:
In a capitalist democracy, the people elect politicians to
positions of personal political power; but in a socialist
democracy the people elect delegates and deputies to
representative positions of political/public agency. The
delegates are agents of the people's will; they are not
empowered to do their own will. This is why a genuine and
socialist democracy is anarchism. The means of government
are no longer separated from the people, no longer
alienated from society in the form of a political state,
an entity over and above society, ruling over society,
and over ruling the democratic will of society.

First, I don't like laws that you have to do something. I like laws
that say you can't do things.
Secondly, laws should be based on reality. Either pot is harmfull or it is
harmless. If it is overly harmfull (which I think it is) then it should be
outlawed.

The good of the law is that they might get caught and it is not worth the

Most people would play all day and not much work would get done. Suppose
your "fair share" of the work is 1% of it. If 80% of the people chose not to
do any work at all you would have to do a lot more work to make up for them.

Lets talk about over-population. Suppose having no laws regarding
reproduction would lead to a Soylent Green situation? In that case we should
definately have some laws. Prostitution and legal heroin would also make
society bad for the good people. The good people should band together and
outlaw the things we don't like.

The laws are designed to help people. If they don't do that they are bad
laws. If there were no laws companies could make profits in the billions
while paying you fifty cents an hour.

I consider the family unit to be a good thing. I would vote against
systems where "the whole community" raises the children. The grandparent
thing doens't sound as bad but children should be close to their mothers
and fathers.

During World War Two the Germans put Jews and Communists in
concentration camps. The USA locked also up the Japanese and their political
opponants and for less reason. At the end of the war there was a lot of
deaths in the German camps from disease and starvation because Germany was
being bombed to rubble. There is no evidence that the Germans had gas
chambers or an extermination plan.
Newsweek magazine May 15, 1989 says on page 64:
"the way the Nazis did things: the secrecy, the unwritten orders, the
destruction of records and the innocent-sounding code names for the
extermination of the Jews. Perhaps it was inevitable that historians would
quarrel over just what happened"
The real reason there are no records of an extermination plan is
because there was no extermination plan. The Germans planned to deport the
Jews out of Germany. The records show that they planned to move them to
Madagascar.
Here is part of the Leuchter Report:
"Thirty-one samples were selectively removed from the alleged gas
chambers at Kremas I, II, III, IV and V. A control sample was taken from
delousing facility #1 at Birkenau. The control sample was removed from a
delousing chamber in a location where cyanide was known to have been used
and was apparently present as blue staining. Chemical testing of the control
sample #32 showed a cyanide content of 1050 mg/kg, a very heavy
concentration. The conditions at areas from which these samples were taken
are identical with those of the control sample, cold, dark, and wet. Only
Kremas IV and V differed, in the respect that these locations had sunlight
(the buildings have been torn down) and sunlight may hasten the destruction
of uncomplexed cyanide. The cyanide combines with the iron in the mortar and
brick and becomes ferric-ferro-cyanide or prussian blue pigmentation, a very
stable iron-cyanide complex.
"The locations from which the analyzed samples were removed are set out
in Table III.
"It is notable that almost all the samples were negative and that the
few that were positive were very close to the detection level (1mg/kg); 6.7
mg/kg at Krema III; 7.9 mg/kg at Krerma I. The absense of any consequential
readings at any of the tested locations as compared to the control sample
reading 1050 mg/kg supports the evidence that these facilities were not
execution gas chambers. The small quantities detected would indicate that at
some point these buildings were deloused with Zyklon B - as were all the
buildings at all these facilities"
Critics of the Leuchter report have tried to explain this by saying it
takes more cyanide to kill lice than humans and the "gas chambers" were in
ruins. But 1050 mg/kg is still a lot more than the max of 7.9. And they have
admitted that the "gas chamber" which is shown to the tourists at Auschwitz
was actually built by the allies after the war was over. This is what they
wrote:
Brian Harmon <har...@msg.ucsf.edu> wrote in article
<080620000051136373%har...@msg.ucsf.edu>...
"You're confusing Krema I with Kremas II-V. Krema I is a
reconstruction, this has never been a secret. Kremas II-V
are in their demolished state as they were left."
Charles Don Hall <cdhall...@erols.com> wrote in article
<8F4CB71B...@news.erols.com>...
"Certainly not! The word "fake" implies a deliberate attempt to deceive.
"The staff of the Auschwitz museum will readily explain that the Nazis
tried to destroy the gas chambers in a futile attempt to conceal their
crimes. And they'll tell you that reconstruction was done later on. So it
would be dishonest for me to call it a "fake". I'll cheerfully admit that
it's a "reconstruction" if that makes you happy."
They admit that the "gas chamber" shown to the tourists at Auschwitz was
built by the allies after the war was over. There is no physical evidence
that the Germans had gas chambers. No bodies of people who died from gas
have been found. The Communists were the first to enter the camps. How do
the other allies know the Communists didn't blow up the buildings? Then they
could claim that these demolished buildings used to be gas chambers.
But then the believers will say the Gemans confessed. Their main
confession is from Hoess. Here are the details:
"In the introduction to Death Dealer [Buffalo: Prometheus, 1992], the
historian Steven Paskuly wrote: "Just after his capture in 1946, the
British Security Police were able to extract a statement from Hoess by
beating him and filling him with liquor." Paskuly was reiterating what
Rupert Butler and Bernard Clarke had already described.
In 1983, Rupert Butler published an unabashed memoir (Legions of Death,
Hamlyn: London) describing in graphic detail how, over three days, he and
Clarke and other British policemen managed to torture Hoess into making a
"coherent statement." According to Butler [Legions of Death, p. 237], he
and the other interrogators put the boots to Hoess the moment he was
captured. For starters, Clarke struck his face four times to get Höess to
reveal his true identity.
<quote>
The admission suddenly unleashed the loathing of Jewish sergeants in the
arresting party whose parents had died in Auschwitz following an order
signed by Höss.
The prisoner was torn from the top bunk, the pyjamas ripped from his
body. He was then dragged naked to one of the slaughter tables, where it
seemed to Clarke the blows and screams were endless.
Eventually, the Medical Officer urged the Captain: "Call them off, unless
you want to take back a corpse."
A blanket was thrown over Höss and he was dragged to Clarke's car, where
the sergeant poured a substantial slug of whisky down his throat. Höss
tried to sleep.
Clarke thrust his service stick under the man's eyelids and ordered in
Geffnan: "Keep your pig eyes open, you swine."
For the first time Höss trotted out his oft-repeated justification: "I
took my orders frorn Himmler. I was a soldier in the same way as you are
a soldier and we had to obey orders."
The party arrived back at Heide around three in the morning. The snow was
swirling still, but the blanket was torn from Höss and he was made to walk
completely nude through the prison yard to his cell.

An article in the Britsh newspaper Wrexham Leader [Mike Mason, "In a cell
with
a Nazi war criminal -- We kept him awake until he confessed," October 17,
1986] following the airing of a TV documentary on the case of Rudolf Hoess
included eyewitness recollections by Ken Jones:
<quote>
Mr. Ken Jones was then a private with the Fifth Royal Horse Artillery
stationed at Heid[e] in Schleswig-Holstein. "They brought him to us when
he refused to cooperate over questioning about his activities during the
war. He came in the winter of 1945/6 and was put in a small jail cell in
the barracks," recalls Mr. Jones. Two other soldiers were detailed with
Mr. Jones to join Höss in his cell to help break him down for
interrogation. "We sat in the cell with him, night and day, armed with
axe handles. Our job was to prod him every time he fell asleep to help
break down his resistance," said Mr. Jones. When Höss was taken out for
exercise he was made to wear only jeans and a cotton shirt in the bitter
cold. After three days and nights without sleep, Höss finally broke down
and made a full confession to the authorities.
</quote>
The confession Hoess signed was numbered document NO-1210; later revamped,
as document PS-3868, which became the basis for an oral deposition Hoess
made for the IMT on April 15, 1946, a month after it had been extracted
from him by torture...
Since what people confess to after they have been captured by the
Communists and their liberal comrades is not proof of anything, this leaves
only the stories of survivors. These contradict each other and not
believable. One professional survivor said that he could tell if the Germans
were gassing German Jews or Polish Jews by the color of the smoke.
The fact that there are so many "survivors" is not proof of an
extermination plan. There may be six million survivors. Just about every Jew
that is old says he is a survivor.
The real "holocaust" was when the Communist Jews murdered millions of
Christians. Communism was Jewish. Here is proof:
Lev Trotzky wrote a book called "Stalin: An Appraisal of the Man and
His Influence", Harper Bros., New York and London, 1941, translated by
Charles Malamuth.
In this book he told who the principle members of the October Central
Committee were. This group was the leadership of the Bolshevik Party during
the October Revolution. This is what he wrote:
"In view of the Party's semi-legality the names of persons elected by
secret ballot were not announced at the Congress, with the exception of the
four who had recieved the largest number of votes. Lenin--133 out of a
possible 134, Zinoviev--132, Kamenev--131, Trotzky--131."
Of these four top leaders of the Bolshevik Party the last three were
known Jews. Lenin was thought to be a gentile but he was married to a
Jewess. It was later proven that he was one quarter Jewish, London Jewish
Chronicle April 21, 1995, Lenin: Life and Legacy.
The communists took over Hungary in 1919. Their leader was the Jew,
Bela Kun (Cohen).
The leaders of communist Poland were the Jews Minc, Skryeszewski,
Modzelewski, and Berman.
The leader of communist Roumania was the Jewess Anna Pauker
The leader of communist Chechoslovakia was the Jew Rudolf Slansky.
The leader of communist Yogoslavia was not a Jew. He was Tito,
however he was tutored by a Jewish mentor named Mosa Pljade.
Communism in America was also Jewish.
In 1945 the FBI arrested six individuals for stealing 1700 highly
confidential documents from State Department files. This was the Amerasia
case they were:
Philip Jaffe, a Russian Jew who came to the U.S. in 1905. He was at one
time the editor of the communist paper "Labor Defense" and the ringleader of
the group arrested.
Andrew Roth, a Jew.
Mark Gayn, a Jew, changed his name from Julius Ginsberg.
John Service, a gentile.
Emmanuel Larsen, nationality unknown
Kate Mitchel, nationality unknown.
In 1949 the Jewess Judith Coplin was caught passing classified
documents from Justice Department files to a Russian agent.
The highest ranking communist brought to trial in the U.S. was Gerhart
Eisler. He was a Jew. He was the secret boss of the Communist Party in the
U.S. and commuted regularly between the U.S. and Russia.
In 1950 there was the "Hollywood Ten" case. Ten leading film writers of
the Hollywood Film Colony were convicted for contempt of Congress and
sentanced to prison. Nine of the ten were Jews. Six of the ten were
communist party members and the other four were flagrantly pro-communist.
One of the top new stories of 1949 was the trial of Eugene Dennis and
the Convicted Eleven. This group comprised the National Secretariat of the
American Communist Party. Six were Jews, two gentiles, three nationality
unknown.
Also in 1949 the German-born atomic scientist Klaus Fuchs was convicted
for passing atomic secrets to the Russians. Acting on information obtained
from Fuchs the FBI arrested nine other members of the ring. All of them were
convicted. Eight of the nine were Jews.
Here are some quotes from a very pro-Jewish book that was first published
in 1925. The book is "Stranger than Fiction" by Lewis Browne.
"But save for such exceptions, the Jews who led or participated in the
heroic efforts to remold the world of the last century, were neither Reform
or Orthodox. Indeed, they were often not professing Jews at all.
"For instance, there was Heinrich Heine and Ludwig Borne, both
unfaltering champions of freedom. And even more conspicuously, there was
Karl Marx, one of the great prophetic geniuses of modern times.
"Jewish historians rarely mention the name of this man, Karl Marx,
though in his life and spirit he was far truer to the mission of Israel than
most of those who were forever talking of it. He was born in Germany in
1818, and belonged to an old rabbinic family. He was not himself reared as a
Jew, however, but while still a child was baptized a Christian by his
father. Yet the rebel soul of the Jew flamed in him thoughout his days, for
he was always a 'troubler' in Europe."
"Then, of course, there are Ludwig Borne and Heinrich Heine, two men
who by their merciless wit and sarcasm became leaders among the
revolutionary writers. Karl Marx, Ferdinand Lassalle, Johann Jacoby, Gabriel
Riesser, Adolphe Cremieux, Signora Nathan- all these of Jewish lineage
played important roles in the struggle that went thoughout Europe in this
period. Wherever the war for human liberty was being waged, whether in
France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, or Italy, there the Jew was to be found.
It was little wonder that the enemies of social progress, the monarchists
and the Churchmen, came to speak of the whole liberal movement as nothing
but a Jewish plot."
The following quotes are taken directly from documents available from the
U.S. Archives:
State Department document 861.00/1757 sent May 2, 1918 by U.S. consul
general in Moscow, Summers: "Jews prominant in local Soviet
government, anti-Jewish feeling growing among population...."
State Department document 861.00/2205 was sent from Vladivostok on
July 5, 1918 by U.S. consul Caldwell: "Fifty percent of Soviet
government in each town consists of Jews of the worst type."
From the Headquarters of the American Expeditionary Forces, Siberia on
March 1, 1919, comes this telegram from Omsk by Chief of Staff, Capt.
Montgomey Shuyler: "It is probably unwise to say this loudly in the
United States but the Bolshevik movement is and has been since it's
beginning, guided and controlled by Russian Jews of the greasiest type"
type."
A second Schuyler telegram, dated June 9, 1919 from Vladivostok,
reports on the make-up of the presiding Soviet government: "...(T)here
were 384 `commissars' including 2 negroes, 13 Russians, 15 Chinamen,
22 Armenians, AND MORE THAN 300 JEWS. Of the latter number, 264 had
come to Russia from the United States since the downfall of the
Imperial Government.
David R. Francis, United States ambassador in Russia, warned in a
January 1918 dispatch to Washington: "The Bolshevik leaders here, most
of whom are Jews and 90 percent of whom are returned exiles, care
little for Russia or any other country but are internationalists and
they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution."
The Netherlands' ambassador in Russia, Oudendyke, confirmed this:
"Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to
spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole world as it is
organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality, and whose one
object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things."
"The Bolshevik revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of
Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a
new order in the world. What was performed in so excellent a way in
Russia, thanks to Jewish brains, and because of Jewish dissatisfaction
and by Jewish planning, shall also, through the same Jewish mental an
physical forces, become a reality all over the world." (The American
Hebrew, September 10, 1920)> "There is much in the fact of Bolshevism
itself, in the fact that so
many Jews are Bolshevists. The ideals of Bolshevism are consonant with
many of the highest ideals of Judaism." (Jewish Chronicle, London
April, 4, 1919) "Some call it Marxism I call it Judaism." (The
American Bulletin, Rabbi S. Wise, May 5, 1935).
"In the Bolshevik era, 52 percent of the membership of the Soviet
communist party was Jewish, though Jews comprised only 1.8 percent of
the total population." (Stuart Kahan, The Wolf of the Kremlin, p. 81)
Interestingly, one of the first acts by the Bolsheviks was to make
so-called "anti-Semitism" a capital crime. This is confirmed by Stalin
himself:
"National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic
customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as
an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of
cannibalism...under USSR law active anti-Semites are liable to the
death penalty." (Stalin, Collected Works, vol. 13, p. 30).
Here is a quote from Mein Kampf:
"Making an effort to overcome my natural reluctance, I tried to
read articles of this nature published in the Marxist Press; but in doing
so my aversion increased all the more. And then I set about learning
something of the people who wrote and published this mischievous stuff.
From the publisher downwards, all of them were Jews. I recalled to mind the
names of the public leaders of Marxism, and then I realized that most of
them belonged to the Chosen Race- the Social Democratic representatives in
the Imperial Cabinet as well as the secretaries if the Trades Unions and
the street agitators. Everywhere the same sinister picture presented
itself. I shall never forget the row of names- Austerlitz, David, Adler,
Ellonbogen, and others. One fact became quite evident to me. It was that
this alien race held in its hands the leadership of that Social Democratic
Party with whose minor representatives I had been disputing for months
past."
Solzhenitsyn named in his book the six top administrators of the
Soviet death camps. All six of them were Jews.
> So what you really want is a dictatorship. And it's strange, too.
In America we could keep the checks and balances. But it is not bad to
have a leader. Here are some quotes from Mein Kampf:
"Human progress and human cultures are not founded by the multitude.
They are exclusively the work of personal genius and personal efficiency."
"Does anybody honestly believe that human progress originates in the
composite brain of the majority and not in the brain of the individual
personality?"
"The devastating influence of the parliamentary institution might not
easily be recognized by those who read the Jewish Press, unless the reader
has learned how to think independently and examine the facts for himself.
This institution is primarily responsible for the crowded inrush of mediocre
people into the field of politics. Confronted with such a phenomenon, a man
who is endowed with real qualities of leadership will be tempted to refrain
from taking part in political life; because under these circumstances the
situation does not call for a man who has a capacity for constructive
statesmanship but rather for a man who is capable of bargaining for the
favour of the majority. Thus the situation will appeal to small minds and
will attract them accordingly."
"One truth which must always be borne in mind is that the majority can
never replace the man. The majority represents not only ignorance but also
cowardice. And just as a hundred blockheads do not equal one man of wisdom,
so a hundred poltroons are incapable of any political line of action that
requires moral strength and fortitude."
"It is not the aim of our modern democratic parliamentary system to
bring together an assembly of intelligent and well-informed deputies. Not at
all. The aim rather is to bring together a group of nonentities who are
dependant on others for their views and who can be all the more easily led,
the narrower the mental outlook of each individual is. That is the only way
in which a party policy, according the the evil meaning it has to-day, can
be put into effect. And by this method alone is it possible for the
wirepuller, who exercises the real control, to remain in the dark, so that
personally he can never be brought to account for his actions."
"Such people would raise an outcry, if, for instance, anyone should
attempt to set up a dictatorship, even though the man responsible for it
were Frederick the Great and even though the politicians for the time being,
who constituted the parlimentary majority, were small and incompetent men or
maybe even on a lower grade of inferiority; because to such sticklers for
abstract principles the law of democracy is more sacred than the welfare of
the nation."
"the best form of government is that which makes it quite natural for the
best brains to reach a position of dominant importance and influence in the
community."

I am in favor of laws that would make the nation better. It would be
good to outlaw tobacco. But I am not for having laws that are unpopular with
the people. So we could vote on whether tobacco should be outlawed. I did
not say that every decision would be put to a vote. The officials would have
better opinions than the majority vote of the beer drinkers and football
fans.

In Hungary, IIRC, the head of their VERY bloody communist secret
police, Farkas (Wulf) was a Jew. In fact, nearly all the highest ranking

the Convicted Eleven. This group comprised the National Secretariat of the
American Communist Party. Six were Jews, two gentiles, three nationality
unknown.
Also in 1949 the German-born atomic scientist Klaus Fuchs was convicted
for passing atomic secrets to the Russians. Acting on information obtained
from Fuchs the FBI arrested nine other members of the ring. All of them were
convicted. Eight of the nine were Jews.
Here are some quotes from a very pro-Jewish book that was first published
in 1925. The book is "Stranger than Fiction" by Lewis Browne.
"But save for such exceptions, the Jews who led or participated in the
heroic efforts to remold the world of the last century, were neither Reform
or Orthodox. Indeed, they were often not professing Jews at all.
"For instance, there was Heinrich Heine and Ludwig Borne, both
unfaltering champions of freedom. And even more conspicuously, there was
Karl Marx, one of the great prophetic geniuses of modern times.
"Jewish historians rarely mention the name of this man, Karl Marx,
though in his life and spirit he was far truer to the mission of Israel than
most of those who were forever talking of it. He was born in Germany in
1818, and belonged to an old rabbinic family. He was not himself reared as a
Jew, however, but while still a child was baptized a Christian by his
father. Yet the rebel soul of the Jew flamed in him thoughout his days, for
he was always a 'troubler' in Europe."
"Then, of course, there are Ludwig Borne and Heinrich Heine, two men
who by their merciless wit and sarcasm became leaders among the
revolutionary writers. Karl Marx, Ferdinand Lassalle, Johann Jacoby, Gabriel
Riesser, Adolphe Cremieux, Signora Nathan- all these of Jewish lineage
played important roles in the struggle that went thoughout Europe in this
period. Wherever the war for human liberty was being waged, whether in
France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, or Italy, there the Jew was to be found.
It was little wonder that the enemies of social progress, the monarchists
and the Churchmen, came to speak of the whole liberal movement as nothing
but a Jewish plot."
The following quotes are taken directly from documents available from the
U.S. Archives:
State Department document 861.00/1757 sent May 2, 1918 by U.S. consul
general in Moscow, Summers: "Jews prominant in local Soviet
government, anti-Jewish feeling growing among population...."
State Department document 861.00/2205 was sent from Vladivostok on
July 5, 1918 by U.S. consul Caldwell: "Fifty percent of Soviet
government in each town consists of Jews of the worst type."
From the Headquarters of the American Expeditionary Forces, Siberia on
March 1, 1919, comes this telegram from Omsk by Chief of Staff, Capt.
Montgomey Shuyler: "It is probably unwise to say this loudly in the
United States but the Bolshevik movement is and has been since it's
beginning, guided and controlled by Russian Jews of the greasiest type"
type."
A second Schuyler telegram, dated June 9, 1919 from Vladivostok,
reports on the make-up of the presiding Soviet government: "...(T)here
were 384 `commissars' including 2 negroes, 13 Russians, 15 Chinamen,
22 Armenians, AND MORE THAN 300 JEWS. Of the latter number, 264 had
come to Russia from the United States since the downfall of the
Imperial Government.
David R. Francis, United States ambassador in Russia, warned in a
January 1918 dispatch to Washington: "The Bolshevik leaders here, most
of whom are Jews and 90 percent of whom are returned exiles, care
little for Russia or any other country but are internationalists and
they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution."
The Netherlands' ambassador in Russia, Oudendyke, confirmed this:
"Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to
spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole world as it is
organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality, and whose one
object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things."
"The Bolshevik revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of
Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a
new order in the world. What was performed in so excellent a way in
Russia, thanks to Jewish brains, and because of Jewish dissatisfaction
and by Jewish planning, shall also, through the same Jewish mental an
physical forces, become a reality all over the world." (The American
Hebrew, September 10, 1920)> "There is much in the fact of Bolshevism
itself, in the fact that so
many Jews are Bolshevists. The ideals of Bolshevism are consonant with
many of the highest ideals of Judaism." (Jewish Chronicle, London
April, 4, 1919) "Some call it Marxism I call it Judaism." (The
American Bulletin, Rabbi S. Wise, May 5, 1935).
"In the Bolshevik era, 52 percent of the membership of the Soviet
communist party was Jewish, though Jews comprised only 1.8 percent of
the total population." (Stuart Kahan, The Wolf of the Kremlin, p. 81)
Interestingly, one of the first acts by the Bolsheviks was to make
so-called "anti-Semitism" a capital crime. This is confirmed by Stalin
himself:
"National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic
customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as
an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of
cannibalism...under USSR law active anti-Semites are liable to the
death penalty." (Stalin, Collected Works, vol. 13, p. 30).
Here is a quote from Mein Kampf:
"Making an effort to overcome my natural reluctance, I tried to
read articles of this nature published in the Marxist Press; but in doing
so my aversion increased all the more. And then I set about learning
something of the people who wrote and published this mischievous stuff.
From the publisher downwards, all of them were Jews. I recalled to mind the
names of the public leaders of Marxism, and then I realized that most of
them belonged to the Chosen Race- the Social Democratic representatives in
the Imperial Cabinet as well as the secretaries if the Trades Unions and
the street agitators. Everywhere the same sinister picture presented
itself. I shall never forget the row of names- Austerlitz, David, Adler,
Ellonbogen, and others. One fact became quite evident to me. It was that
this alien race held in its hands the leadership of that Social Democratic
Party with whose minor representatives I had been disputing for months
past."
Solzhenitsyn named in his book the six top administrators of the
Soviet death camps. All six of them were Jews.

The Jews rule society now. Here is a quote from Mein Kampf:

This was the Press. The Jew exercised all his skill and tenacity in getting

There are two schools of thought in the world, the right and the left.
The right is guided by what was known as Christian principles. It is for
outlawing homosexual perversion, prostitution, abortions, heroin, and other
bad things. It puts the good of the nation first and ahead of the freedom
of individuals to corrupt the culture of the nation.
Leftists believe in the Rede of Witchcraft which states-- If it harm
none, do what will you will. This sounds nice, but like the apple that the
witch gave to Snow White it has poison within. The Rede of Witchcraft is the
Bible of liberalism. It would legalize the homosexual perversion,
prostitution, drugs, etc.
The right is for building a great nation. Leftists care only about
individual freedom and are opposed to any laws that would make the nation
better. There are beaches where normal families will not go because
homosexual perverts practice their perversion on the beach. This is fine
with leftists. This is what they want. They are like children who only care
about their individual selves and are oblivious to what should be done to
make the nation great. Their philosophy for example would not allow the law
that drivers have to stop at the red lights. Their philosophy would result
in chaos and degeneracy.
Today there are some libertarians who pretend to be rightists because
they are for the freedom of the Ebenezer Scrooges to be as greedy as they
want. That group has a lot of money and they can pretend to be right wing
on TV, but what they really do is serve mammon (money). The real right wing
was not for legalizing drugs, or for using this same liberal philosophy of
the Rede of Witchcraft to legalize greed. People should not be side-tracked
into serving money if they really want to fight liberalism. Fighting
homosexual perversion with libertarianism is exactly the same as fighting a
fire with gasoline. Most libertarians know they are liberal. Anyone who
would legalize prostitution and heroin is a leftist.
The Communist were leftist and they said they were fighting for
freedom. In Spain they sided with the anarchists. The Communists and the
anarchists were the same people or the same type of people. The Communists
were for having government but only temporarily. They said that their
government was necessary only until the whole world was Communist. After the
world was Communist they wanted to disolve the government and have an
anarchy.
What liberals want to be liberated from is Christianity, or what used
to be Christianity. Capitalists want freedom for their greed, other liberals
want freedom for degeneracy, and Communists wanted to be free to burn down
churches. They had their differences but they all joined together to fight
against the real right wing during World War Two.
The right wing cares about the future. Leftists only care about having a
good time in the present. If their philosophy results in a nightmare future
like in Soylent Green or some other futuristic nightmare they are not
interested and insist that nothing could be more important than the freedom
of individuals to be as decadant as they want. They are like the children in
the old black and white movie "Lord of the Flies".
Not sure if I believe either actually, if we got rid of all the people, it would
be anarchy, and I doubt the animals would complain. Satan on the otherhand is not
well known for his honesty, and his reasoning is ragged enough to get him torn
apart on these boards with that comment...

Anarchy is not about smashing toilets and dropping turds on the floor. That
is assholery. You base your ideas on the premise that men are ignorant,
brutal and uncontrollable beasts who would become savages if it were not for
the power of laws, fear and punishment keeping them in line. I don't think
you realize how idiotic that premise is. When I'm in the confines of my
home, I don't take off all my clothes, smear my body with pig fat and chase
the cat around the house with a spear in hand. I wear clothes, work on the
computer, cook dinner, clean house, exercise a little and watch some
television. Yet if I choose to do the former, nobody would know. But I
don't because I'm not a savage.

First, I think you're wrong that most people would stay in bed all day. I
think people would have more ways to find work doing what they enjoy,
instead of having to find just any old job to make money to pay bills. Most
people would work. And if a few don't, who cares? Forced labor is not the
answer. Just let them be. You really can't tell what a person may
contribute to society. For example, let's say a man never does anything
like plant a flower bed, build a house, pave a road or clean a window. But
he likes going out on the town and he likes talking to people and people
like talking to him. He has a knack for making people feel better just by
being talkative. He has contributed to society, even though he may have no
office to work out of, and even though he may not even realize the effect he
has on people. Just existing in society and interacting with others is
contributing. Ever been smiled at while walking through the mall? Ever
made a friend? Those two actions do affect your life in positive ways. But
would you demand money for those services? I hope not. Similarly, if
someone does those two simple things in society, they've contributed in a
fundamental way.

Because I think there are enough people in the world who have enough
variation in their interests that we can all do what we enjoy to advance
society as a whole. I enjoy writing, working with graphics and video
editing. I have skills that could be used to advance mankind, and I would
gladly contribute those skills freely. But instead, under capitalism, if I
want to work in any of those fields, I must compete with people who may not
necessarily want this kind of work, but they want the money that can be
made. People who want to do the work they're doing will produce much better
results than people who do not enjoy their work.
I'm not even proposing a bartering system. I'm simply proposing that if we
all do what we enjoy, society will be complete and we won't have to worry
about the guy down the block doing nothing at all because we have plenty of
people to have some who just want to goof off. And if someone enjoys what I
produce, I get satisfaction in knowing that my work is appreciated by
someone. Even in a capitalist society, I feel guilty charging someone for
building a website or typing some papers. But I'm forced to. No matter how
much I give freely to society, the utility companies will still demand that
I pay for their services, so I'm forced to charge money. So many of us are
unwilling slaves to capitalism, so in that way, we already live in a
plutocracy because the wealthy people in Corporate America are the ones who
keep the money flowing. They will never stop charging money for their
products, so unless we have worldwide civil disobedience to destroy
capitalism, we will always be forced to give our productivity to these
companies in order to have money which we then give back to Corporate
America to acquire the things we need or want. Cutting out the corporate
money pumps would mean that we could simply keep what we produce instead of
giving what we produce to a corporation so they can sell it back to us for a
fee. And that is why we're nothing more than paid slaves.
The only change wealthy capitalists want is more plutocracy. The closer we
come to communism, the closer we come to putting an end to the money pump
that keeps the wealthy swimming in money. The wealthy plutocrats do not
want this because it means they have to live on the same level as everyone
else. It means they can no longer control the means of production to
maximize their profits at the expense of progress. It means that progress
comes more quickly because there is no longer a concern for profit, but a
concern for advancing society as a whole. It is any wonder that the
profit-loving characters on Star Trek are portrayed as greedy, ugly
individuals with sharp fangs? The Ferengi only do things that bring them
profit. I think the symbolism of American capitalism is Star Trek is
uncanny.

If America wasn't hell-bent on spreading capitalism throughout the world,
population growth would not be a problem. Under capitalism, research only
gets done if there is money available to fund the research. We hear stories
all the time of projects or research that go unfinished due to the costs.
If we eliminate the costs, research can continue indefinitely. Remove the
possibility of profit from inventions and you get better inventions because
new inventions would not be sequestered to give old products a chance to
generate their optimal financial returns. If we have the best tools society
can produce, and we eliminate the cause of stalling and cutbacks in
research, we can learn more, do more and advance more in less time. This
means that we could easily come up with technologies that will allow us to
easily colonize the moon, Mars and the natural satellites of nearby planets.
Given the vast amount of space in the solar system to spread our wings, it
is extremely foolish to continue this insane and wasteful system of
capitalism. If capitalism continues very far into the future, we will
indeed have a Soylent Green situation on our hands and there will be no easy
way out at all. The sooner we give up capitalism in favor of putting the
full power of the world community toward advancing society technologically,
the sooner we can build a better quality of life for *all* people, including
the starving people in third world countries. But I don't think we'll see
any steps in that direction until after we have a one world government.

How much we're paid versus how much is charged will always be balanced.
Every time the minimum wage goes up, the price of groceries and general
merchandise goes up. If we all made fifty cents an hour, bread would cost
ten cents a loaf. Why? Bread companies want people to be able to afford
their products. If everyone made fifty cents an hour, but bread was $2.50 a
loaf, many people would simply give up eating bread, so the bread companies
wouldn't sell as much volume. They *could* raise the price so high that
only the wealthy could afford it, but still there would be competition. The
best strategy is to try to produce products as inexpensively as possible,
while still getting decent quality and sell it at about a 20% - 25% profit.
Wal-Mart is successful mainly because it shoots for about a 22-25% profit
margin doing high volume sales. Wal-Mart had over $190 billion in sales in
2000, topped only by Exxon doing $232.7 billion. Wal-Mart is expected to
open at least 365 stores in 2001, including 170 to 180 Supercenters. They
could easily top the Fortune 500 list and never move from that position.
They were #2 in 2001. Exxon was #1 and GM was finally dethroned as they
slipped to third place. They'll probably move even lower if the merger of
Echostar and Hughes Satellite Corporation is approved by the FTC. Hughes is
currently owned by General Motors.

But when it comes to how people raise their own kids, you shouldn't have a

Hmmmm. Perhaps not. White men have been slaves, however, but perhaps not
to women. But then nobody really knows how far back the civilized history
of Earth really goes. They keep moving it back further and further.

Why would they do that? What would it serve? That's like saying that
people would crap on the sidewalk if we had no public decency laws. Do you
think anyone wants to walk through feces? I don't. So everyone would do

And we'd definitely have to remove all the capitalist incentives for picking
one method over another or else scientific findings will be tampered with to
give favor to a particular group looking to profit from the venture.
