Charles Fourier in the 1830s was a French philosopher and one of the founders of utopian socialism. His theory alleges that society as a whole (later government), should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members. All of humanity would be equal financially, morally and politically, a kind of heaven on earth. Society would worship the state, not a fictional God. Its utopian members cannot be good socialists without being good atheists; otherwise the members are not true to either cause. Some would even say that Jesus was the first socialist because his disciples often sold all of their possessions and contributed the proceeds into a community “pot,” shared equally by all based on need. Socialism is a big brother to Marxism, a movement espoused by Karl Marx in the 1860s and 1870s. Marx championed an equal redistribution of resources to members of society. Marx declared that religion was an “opiate of the people.” In other words, religion was a medicine which tranquilized the fears and disappointments of the poor and working class. Both theories frown on capitalism, where the risk taker is rewarded in direct proportion to the amount of risks he/she takes. Socialism promotes laziness. If I know I am going to be given the same as the next man, why should I do anything extra or any more work than I have to. Socialism is similar to the economic lesson taught by Christ by the vineyard owner. The owner sought workers in town for his vineyard in the morning, at noon and later in the day. When it came time to pay the workers, he gave them all the same amount of pay. The early works complained that they should have been paid more than the late comers, who worked for only an hour or two. Although Jesus’ lesson was about salvation, it was a good economic lesson on socialism and a perfect pitch for capitalism. Doesn’t the story express the idea of socialism very well? Who determines how much money is enough for each worker? Who forces the workers to all work the same amount of time with the same amount of energy? And what about those who are not frugal and demand more when their share runs out? Under true socialism, there is no vineyard owner, only the government. And the government cannot tax more and more of the rich to redistribute to the less fortunate since the rich no longer exist under a utopian socialist system.
Socialist tendencies create a culture of identity politics by the left. And the elite left refuses to acknowledge that everyone cannot be treated equally under our capitalist system. (Isn’t that an oxymoron, the elite left calling for equality?) Their call words are racist, sexist, homophobe, fascist, anti-Semite, bigot and misogynist. These elite leftists use these terms to foster fear and confusion within society to fawn and mold an identity crisis within their radical base, mostly young people and the super, alt-left, rich elite and Hollywood types. For black-face and illegal migrants, they call it racism – why do these horrible and cruel, rich republicans treat these people the way they do? Building a wall to keep illegal aliens from breaking our laws is somehow racist. We are all immigrants except, maybe, the American Indians. Most Americans praise legal immigration. The elite left use racists like Jussie Smollett to strengthen their cause for continued racial divides. And they allege that Trump and Rosanne are racists until they are blue in the face. They unleash radical leftist on the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville – a rally that occurred amidst the backdrop of a controversy generated by the removal of Confederate monuments (as if the removal of a monument can somehow change our history.) The alt left claims these monuments are a symbol of slavery, yet the Democratic supported slavery and helped start the Klu Klux Klan. With this confusion, black youths are ashamed of their history and have lost their cultural identity. Yet the elite left says nothing about ‘black lives matter’ or Antifa’s racism and bigotry. They portray them as fighting an enemy who, in reality, is concocted from within. Many of the elite socialist embrace Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, even Obama worshiped Farrakhan. Yet the new socialist elite hate Jews and disparage the hateful Right who call extreme, Muslim, jihadist terrorists. The elite leftists also want to remove nativity scenes and the Ten Commandments from public places because these symbols discriminate against satanists, Muslims and atheists. And they want to erase our historical reliance on Judeo-Christian ethic because that discriminates against homosexuals and abortionists. The elite left criticizes the Catholic Church for not recognizing gay marriage and for not allowing women to become priests. So the church and all its members are labeled homophobes and anti-feminists according to the elite left. The protestant church is in a constant state of schism. It was born from schism and its children are schisms. They take on more and more atheistic views. The elite left never embraces religion. Why is that? Religion exposes their deformity and sheds light upon their intent to divide.
Look what the elite left accomplishes with these emotional rants – division and identity politics. These identity groups are being repressed by the elite left for their own political survival. And the sad thing is that the poor, downtrodden and shunned are unaware that their own fake cheerleaders are the direct cause of their repression, championing socialism as a saving political and economic pariah. The elite, socialist left cares for no one but for themselves. And destroying capitalism and religion is the ultimate coup of the elite, leftist radicals because without religion and without a free-market, capitalist system, they become the power brokers and the rule makers. Can you see that they have no respect for equality, neither financially or politically? Who would govern the masses, the nobility of the elite left?
