Why Americans Should Hate Liberalism #4

The following are a series of ideas and paraphrases taken from Micheal Martin’s excellent book; Liberalism: The Demise of America.

•  Liberals hope to construct utopias by planning and designing socialist or communist states and embracing the idea of a transnational government. The many failures of socialist and communist states are well documented (Russia, China, North Korea, and much of Latin America, for examples). To the extent that any such states have recovered from their socialist/communist disasters, they have implemented important components of free market enterprises.
• Regarding Transnational States, The history of gross failure of both the League of Nations and its successor, The United Nations are illustrative of the old saying: “Too many chefs spoil the brew.” This is particularly true when a large number of the chefs are socialist and communist nations.
• Liberals systematically increase state control over citizen’s behavior. They do this through the control of education, the popular media, the news media, and though increasing restrictions on citizen’s speech via political correctness. The weakening of religious influences over population behavior is also a major goal of Liberals.
• American Liberalism is also destroying, capitalism, families, Constitutional governance, law, moral values, and the incentives/work/vigor and the independence of individuals.
• Liberals destroy economies trough reckless spending and massive debt. This is an age-old trick of dispensing governmental entitlements, and redistributing the taxed wealth of productive citizens. This is done in order to win political support from a growing population of unemployed, irresponsible and dependent citizens who then become “a captured” voting block for liberal candidates. This selfish and irresponsible political strategy strengthens liberal political parties in the short-run, but reliably destroys entire sococultures in the long-run.
• Liberal philosophy, like communist philosophy, believes that only “superior” leaders (i.e., a liberal ruling class) can effectively plan and execute environmental, social, and other cultural outcomes. They believe that they can shape the will and motivations of the population in ways superior to spontaneous social and free market economic forces. They are pathologically narcissistic in their beliefs of personal and group superiority and they are sociopathic in their willingness to lie, cheat, steal and propagandize in an attempt to achieve their goals.
