Slavery

This magic moral authority is called 'democracy'. You may have heard of it.

Who forced you?

I have employed myself my entire life.

Give examples of who is "forcing" you. If you can.

Why can't you do as I have done?

Democracy and Socialism are antithetical.

Therefore some people are forced (co-reced) into working for someone else.

Democracy is a fundamental part of socialism. (Cue Stalin rant).

Here is how.

Each person finds something to do ... or to sell.

They do it. They do it and sell it.

But instead... they act like a damned victim. Like you act. Like somebody is in charge of them.

Nobody is in charge of you. Really. Try "breaking out". You'll like it.

You have also hit upon the great mystery of communism.

How could such a wonderful idea go so horribly wrong when implemented.

The reason is that people build up hate and anger because they are "victims". When they get "in charge"... they kill. That seems totally rational to them. Their whole existence is built on hate. Of those who "made them slaves".

Even though they just lacked confidence to start a new life. Go figure.

Where can I buy one?
