Leftists are not capitalists.

I say this simple truth over and over, but for some reason many people don't get it. They don't believe it. They can't wrap their heads around it. They just will not see. Not sure how to explain it any easier. Leftists are not capitalists.
Sure, they may live with, use, and enjoy the trappings of capitalism. They may enjoy having plentiful food, nice homes, indoor plumbing, energy on tap, cellphones, the internet, streaming movies channels, social media platforms, etc etc etc
But see here is the thing. Well, a couple of things. One, they don't really believe deep down in their souls that most of those things they have are due to capitalism. Most think they can have all of those things without capitalism and to a certain degree they are right.
You see, leftism at its core is a parasitic ideology, it can't survive on it's own. It tends to destroy itself. It always fails. So, it needs a host. Capitalism makes a great host but like all parasites, leftism will protect leftism first even if that means the host dies.
Leftism can survive with many hosts, it doesn't strictly need capitalism. Capitalism isn't the only system that brings wealth and inventions to a country. I tend to think it's the best to bring it to as many as possible, but it's not the only one. The Vatican is a good example.
The Vatican has a great deal of wealth. It's not a capitalist system by any measure. Many feudal kingdoms were and are extremely wealthy and were not/are not capitalists. There are other examples of course, but hopefully, you get the idea.
So you see, the parasite doesn't need the host to continue to live and enjoy the pleasures that this specific host brings. It has other hosts out there. Some of those other hosts probably make better hosts for leftism from a longevity POV, to be honest.
Regardless, the point is that leftists aren't capitalists. They don't care about keeping capitalism strong. They don't care about free markets or making a profit. They don't care about figuring out how to pay for things. Like most parasites they don't care about keeping the host
..healthy. when the host dies they will like all parasites just move to another host and suck it's life blood until it too dies. So you see, when I say leftists are not capitalists I'm not making a joke. I'm not just saying something that has no meaning. I'm explaining it
...in as simple as terms as I can. Leftists are not capitalists. They are the parasites that are currently feeding on capitalism and if they manage to kill capitalism they will simply attach themselves to the next juicy host.
The problem for leftists, and the rest of us, is that those that believe in leftism do not consider themselves parasites and they often think they can survive without a host. Those types, once they kill the host, try to make a go of it on their own. That's when the pain & misery
...ramp up to 11. That's when the poverty and lack of goods really kick in. That's when the death and gulags come to town. That's when, well, that's when all hell breaks loose.

So when I say leftists are not capitalists, it's the simple truth.

I don't know many things. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I also know many things. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm confident that what I know is true, yet intelligent enough to understand maybe some of it isn't. However, not knowing is not a reason to be paralyzed into inaction.
You have one life to live in this world. You can do whatever you want with it, maybe. It's known that there are people out there that like nothing better than to try to take your life & make it their own by telling you how to live it. You can of course follow their wishes/orders.
You can also tell them to go fuck themselves. Of course telling these people is not enough because they will still think and act as if they own you. At that point you have to make some type of decision. Do you submit and follow along? Do you withdrawal and hope they ignore you?

Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government,
...our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform, and
...irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises

So, not sure if I had covid, think I did. Had all the symptoms but well I don't know for sure. Still it's been about 3 weeks. I wouldn't call The bug I had mild. I hate to get sick. First week was the worse. Fever, chills, sore throat, headache from hell, weak, wasn't hungry
....muscle aches. You know the typical stuff you get from a flu or a cold. The last two weeks had sinus trouble and unproductive cough, couldn't sleep much because of both. Just couldn't get comfortable, sore throat was the worst though. Trouble swallowing and drinking.
Taste buds rebelled, they are still on strike, but today I felt almost 99% normal. The bug seems to come and go in waves. Some days over the last 3 weeks I felt fine. Not 100% but good enough then I'll wake up and be miserable the next day. Strange bug.

The very moment that it was seen that vaccines were not stopping transmission all talk of mandates should have stopped and those already in force should have been repealed. The only reason for a mandate is to protect society as a whole. When it was shown the vaccines did not do
...that and was still allowing transmission the case for mandates was null and void. At that point it became a personal decision and continuing to try to force people to be vaxxed for "their own good" morphs quickly into tyranny which quickly requires the use of force to enforce.
No case can be made that mandatory vaccines for covid is needed for the society to survive. Sure, it may save some people, but it may not. It may actually harm some people. If it hurts, helps or does nothing for an individual it does nothing for society, as a whole to mandate now

Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

You and I are told we must choose
.... between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream-the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism.
Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned, "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits."

Weird bug I got. Not sure what it is, tested negative for covid but someone else in the house tested positive so who knows. All I know it's like a common cold plus. But it's not like a cold because the sickness seems to come in waves. First the eyes hurt just as the eyes cleared
...up neck starting hurting as that was getting better got a headache from hell as the headache lessened sinus got compacted as the sinuses started to drain, started getting chills, then chills and breaking out in a sweat at the same time, body aches then as that started to go
..away my stomach started doing interesting and as far as I was concerned up until now impossible feats. Now that the stomach is empty and probably tuckered out chills coming back. So it's like just when you think you are over the hump the bug says "hello, remember me." Strange.
