Delusions about private property and the fantasy of equality
Ownership 101: a five-minute course
By Jon Rappoport
"Once private property is abolished, the advocates for utopia
win. They build their heaven on earth, which means they can take what
they want and run civilization, top-down. They can keep saying nobody
owns anything, but in fact they own it all. They execute this squeeze
play as if they were messiahs eradicating the prime evil: private
ownership. This is such a preposterous stage play that, in a sane
society, it would close down after one night." (The Underground, Jon
Rappoport)
For example, certain groups will take the idea of freedom and
interpret it to mean, "We have the freedom to steal everything we can."
Based on this practice, many people will claim freedom was
always a failed and corrupt idea at the core. This is wrong, absurd, and
dim. Very dim.
In the same way, the idea of private property can certainly
be twisted to mean, "I will steal what you have, make it my own, and
then declare it is my property, over which I have control."
But the idea of private property remains independent of what people will do to distort it. A child used to be able to see this.
Centuries of struggle resulted in a shift from monarchs and
priest classes owning all available land, to individuals having the
right to own land.
Once that principle was firmly established, groups immediately tried to modify the principle to their advantage.
In 1776, a group called the Illuminati declared its existence
in Bavaria. One of its guiding ideas was: the abolition of all private
property. That concept traveled down to Karl Marx and the Communist
agenda.
Private property was called an inherent crime. Instead, the
people/everybody would own all property. This garbled incoherent
pronouncement would be backed up by the ruling government, who would act
as stewards for the masses---meaning the government would take control
of all property until such time as the people evolved to the point where
the State was unnecessary.
As a straight con, it was very weak. A two-bit hustler on a
street corner with a folding table and three cards could see through it
in a second.
The people evolving? The State withering away on its own? Equality defined as everybody owning everything?
Of course, if people injected their own utopian fantasies
into the mix, if people assumed the government was a beneficent force
for good, if people assumed there was an "everybody" operating
unanimously, if people fantasized about a history of tribes (who fought
wars against each other) gracefully abdicating the whole notion of
individual property...well then, yes, the abolition of private property
became a marvelous proposition.
In the light of day, however, with a clear mind, the idea was
terrible. It was quite insane. It signaled a transfer of property from
the individual to power-mad lunatics.
Needless to say, this idea of no-private-property is alive
and well on planet Earth today. We are in another round of
fantasy-drenched propaganda.
In a nutshell, the threat of pure private property is: it
establishes individual rights that stand against the unchecked force of
the government-corporate-banking nexus. It implies the individual is
free, independent, and the ruler of what he owns.
To which the addled mind replies: "But suppose a person is
polluting his land and the poison is running beyond his borders and
endangering others?"
Well, that is called a crime. It should be prosecuted. It should be stopped.
The fact that it is often ignored doesn't negate the whole
assumption of private property. It points to the corruption of public
officials who refuse to prosecute the offender.
Here is utopia laid bare: the government and its partners,
who are doing everything they can to limit, squash, and outlaw the
individual right to own property, are the same force that is acting as
the wondrous representative of all the people; surrender to this force;
give it power to appropriate all property and hold it in trust, for that
day when the population has risen to enlightenment, when the open
sharing of "everything" is a natural impulse. Then victory will be ours.
Not the iron fist. The open helping hand. Not the hammer. The smiling guide. Not the monarch. The servant of humanity.
If you buy that one, I have waterfront condos for sale on
Jupiter's four moons. No terms. Cash up front. Construction begins in
2058. Promise.
The Homeowners Association actually owns the condos and the
land. They are a subsidiary of the Jupiter Government Authority. There
are rules. No flags of any kind flying from porches. No privately owned
electricity generators. No growing of vegetables or fruit on the land.
No weapons. Domiciles must be shared with migrants arriving from Earth.
The migrants are given beds, meals, and clothing. Possessions are
shared. The prime directive: everything belongs to everybody. Power to
the people.
