What is this Gambit? Socialists, communists rubbing off on you a bit?
These are the fundamental driving points behind people who argue for equality, level playing fields... dare I say it... Equal distribution of wealth!
Just because I understand those driving points does not mean I agree and approve of them being the basis for a socialist/communist society.
Do I feel any shame in living in such a home? Absolutely not. When the builders constructed my house, they did not rob materials and space from anyone in China, India, or Africa.
Do I feel any shame in eating dry aged prime rib steaks a couple times a week? Absolutely not. Those are American cattle fed/raised by American ranchers on American soil, and they did not rob anyone anywhere in the world of their livestock.
The demand for equal distribution of wealth is based on petty jealousy. I have no problems with anyone laboring just enough to get by. But if that person demands that I allow him the freedom to labor just enough to get by with the bare minimum necessities for
HIS life, then it is only fair that he understand that I have the equal right to labor harder than him so I live in ways that I see fit for
MY life.
There is life in general, then there is
MY life and
YOUR life. To date, there are only two successful communist/dictatorship societies: The Family and The Monastery.
In The Family, there is an absolute need for a benevolent dictatorship -- the parents -- because children are too physically and intellectually weak to fend for themselves. They do not contribute equally, therefore they do not share equal distribution of wealth. This is what the Soviet Union and China tried to do with The Communist Party being that benevolent parent/dictator. We know what a disaster that experiment was.
In The Monastery, we have the ideals that Marx was pining for where vows of poverty are
VOLUNTARY and the needs of others override one's own. Basically, if everyone look out for his fellow man, then no one would be neglected. But this self sacrificial attitude must be internally compelled and can never be externally forced.
If I want for
MY life items A, B, and C, that is my burden to earn, while if you want for
YOUR life items X, Y, and Z, that is your burden to earn. This is something that communists have a difficult time accepting or even understanding. The more hypocritical ones among them uses Marxism to enrich themselves at the expense of his fellow men. Look at how communist leaders always live in those supposedly "worker's paradise", larger homes, fancier cars, and the best capital of all, political capital. The result is that those leaders live in Western derived luxuries while their citizens struggles to get even poor toilet paper.
The greatest evil inflicted upon modern mankind is communism (not Marxism) and the greatest hypocrite to date is the communist.
