utopian-socialism

Socialists seem to think George Orwell__ 1984 is a suggestion, or at least are unashamed of mimicking the methods of the totalitarian state Orwell depicted. Libertarians know it to be a warning, and a government that micro-manages all aspects of humanity an intolerable reality.

If your political theory requires humanity to "evolve", then you do not have a theory.... you have a dream.

Nine out of ten eugenicists in the 20th Century were also Progressives or Socialists, as central to the eugenic creed is the desire to engineer and centrally plan human reproduction and heredity. These were not people that believed in individual liberty. They certainly didn't believe the individual had the right to chose their own mate freely. They were statists, They were totalitarians at heart.

Democratic Socialism devolves into totalitarian Socialism and eventually into full on Communism as people resist statism.

JULIAN HUXLEY__ __UGENICS MANIFESTO_:__ugenics Manifesto_ was the name given to an article supporting eugenics. The document, which appeared in Nature, September 16, 1939, was a joint statement issued by America__ and Britain__ most prominent biologists, and was widely referred to as the __ugenics Manifesto._ The manifesto was a response to a request from Science Service, of Washington, D.C. for a reply to the question __ow could the world__ population be improved most effectively genetically?_ Two of the main signatories and authors were Hermann J. Muller and Julian Huxley. Julian Huxley, as this book documents, was the founding director of UNESCO from the famous Huxley family. Muller was an American geneticist, educator and Nobel laureate best known for his work on the physiological and genetic effects of radiation. Put into the context of the timeline, this document was published 15 years after __ein Kampf_ and a year after the highly publicized violence of Kristallnacht. In other words, there is no way either Muller or Huxley were unaware at the moment of publication of the historical implications of eugenic agendas.

What did journalists know of tech, anyway? Who gave a damn about the press? We were the Good Guys. Changing the World. Doing the Important Stuff.

Thomas More's Utopia was not a recommendation. It was a warning.

The sadist desires to command and control. The masochist desires to be freed from the burdens of liberty. That is Socialism.

There is a very dangerous myth that #Hitler was solely fueled by racism. His desire to engineer society was pervasive. Racism alone cannot explain what happened in The Holocaust without also addressing Hitler's statist policies.

Centrally planned economies are upended by out of control population. Their escape valve is eugenics.

All utopias are dystopias. The term "dystopia" was coined by fools that believed a "utopia" can be functional.

People, imperfect and corruptible are society's building blocks. Political theories evading this reality are a catastrophe in waiting.

Socialism is "group-think." How uninformed in history do you have to be to advocate for "group-think"??

The science fiction author, H.G. Wells was an avid supporter of eugenics and a believer in a hierarchy of the races.
