The Basic Forms Of Tyranny-Part Five Session Three (Communist Party Tyranny)

The Basic Forms Of Tyranny-Part Five Session Three (Communist Party Tyranny) Before anyone accuses me of being a closet socialist/communist (I have already been accused of so many other things), I have been a non-socialist and non-communist since 1980. I felt even at that time it was overall a flawed system. It was a system that became too paternalistic and too controlling. In my twenties and thirties, I was a firm libertarian. It was only when I spent time in a developing nation did I mature and realize that in nations (some more than others), there is definitely a need for a certain amount of socialism. On its own and left alone, people and even individual(s) cannot be given unbridled authority to manage their affairs and governance. It will just lead to greater corruption, chaos, paralysis, and thus tyranny. Eventually this unbridled authority given to The People and individual(s) will ultimately cause a huge erosion of their rights, collectively and individually. Of course in any nation, basic individual freedoms should always be hallmark of any nation. However for this to be established and maintained, public safety and even basic public viability have to be achieved. The acceptance of social responsibility must take place. There are certain activities that only government should be permitted to conduct. Just because government may be doing a poor job in conducting those activities does not mean it should abandon those responsibilities and then cede it to the private, corporate sector. With the concept of social responsibility, high-minded and principled safeguards were erected to keep in check the basic instincts of people so that those basic instincts do not lead to exploitation, chaos, and thus tyranny. With socialist/communist systems, too much emphasis was place on the "Greater Good". Tyranny resulted in the constant implementation of these high-minded and principled safeguards. These systems took these "General Welfare" objectives too far. While the socialist/communist systems was not sustainable, the systems that replaced it in many nations were actually worse. It bred greater tyranny as a result.
