You Can'T Be a Good Person, Part I

I see a hundred million dead, their bodies buried in mass graves, not because they committed crimes, oh no, they just didn’t behave the way some cruel ideologue pronounced that all people should act, when the new man couldn’t be made the socialists would just attack. Trying to change human nature, failing as we are fated to, starving peasants, gulags of death, rights destroyed for more than a few, rivers polluted, fields glowing, millions of people stripped of faith, a formula that brought failure, entire countries spent and raped. And yet today the professors cheerlead this abomination, when every people that tried failed it’s a sure sign of damnation. That the ideas, down at their core, cannot survive reality, that human beings weren’t meant to have absolute equality. To try again, and kill some more shows that these eggheads sure are dumb, you cannot be a socialist and claim to be a good person. I see a self-convinced elite lining their pockets with our cash, not bothering to work for it, why would they deign to go do that? They can hide behind government for unearned legitimacy, ensconce themselves and build fiefdoms so that they never have to leave. And as it does to any soul, that power will only corrupt, and they now stoop to voter fraud to never have to give it up. Given that most of these people were already craving power, ae can’t expect them to listen, when we speak up, they only glower, and act like we’re the great unwashed, like we’re just fools for them to bribe, honestly, if they told the truth, they would prefer that we all die, or at least be reduced to slaves, with no voice, no choice, and no guns, to be a politician now means you can’t be a good person... CONCLUDES IN PART II.
