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

The Basic Forms Of Tyranny-Part Five Session Two (Communist Party Tyranny) In the genuine socialist system that was implemented in the USSR, a huge Titanic ship was built that had a hole in it. That is the analogy of how Socialism/Communism transformed the Soviet Union. It was a system that could not go on like it was. However in any system that had a certain amount of legitimacy, despite it being overall flawed, it had to be dismantled properly so that the Titanic ship did not capsize. The analogy of the hole in the ship being fixed properly applies. Unfortunately that did not happen in the first eight years after the collapse of the USSR. People need to understand why Socialism/Communism sprouted. It emerged to counter feudalism,imperialism, worker subjugation, rampant disease,illiteracy, poverty, colonialism, and racism. The quote "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" definitely has meaning in the Communist movement. In the name of empowering people, it ended in domiciling people instead. In the name of ending serfdom and inequality, it invariably perpetuated it instead. When individual incentive and liberties were significantly eroded, tyranny became the result eventually. However its motto "From Everyone's Ability To Everyone's Need" indeed led to a global movement that heralded many accomplishments. The Soviet Union became a world power as a result. Unions and the end of colonialism and racism were and still are its hallmarks. So are the reductions of poverty, disease, and illiteracy. The socialist/communist movement produced so many scientists and engineers. This inherently led to inventions and technological innovations which revolutionized mankind.
