They Told Us To Hate, Part Ii

...They told us to hate those people who take a risk to make profit, that instead we should idolize those who say they’re socialist. Bu t I look a their history, and it’s utterly insane, just blood, and death, and prison camps wherever their ideas did rein. Twenty-five million Russian souls, sixty-five million Chinese, and all they brought to those who lived was oppression and poverty. Even within our own cities, where the far-left runs roughshod, we see feces, typhus, and decay; once great towns now just left to rot. Detroit has become a ruin, San Francisco smells of dung, Los Angeles covered in trash, the Golden State has gone all bunk. That’s what they want me to worship? It’s a plague that should be abhorred, besides that, it’s immoral to have economics based on force. The capitalist freely trades, both sides agree or it’s no-go, price itself becomes a language so all of the people can know how much something may be valued, what is and is not in demand, giving them a general idea, so they can make a living, plan. And the mass of competition responds to the people’s needs, does not need to be ‘ordered to,’ it responds automatically. It’s what lifted civilization, there’s no arguing with that, without it we’d still ride horses, and electricity we’d lack. Those fools want us to reject this, when it makes our nation great? I’ll save my rage for leftists that dare try to tell me who to hate. Those judgments are mine alone.
