Rising up against the Oligarchs does not equal socialism
By Jon Rappoport
There are "people's" groups all over the world who advocate
the overthrow of the men at the top ---the Oligarchs---who control
nations.
These people's groups want to install socialism as the answer to Oligarchy.
That's preposterous.
The Oligarchs---bankers, mega-corporate CEOs, financiers,
government leaders, intelligence agencies---collude to cut out
competition so they can stand alone at the summit of the mountain. And
they call this arrangement SOCIALISM. They PROMOTE socialism. They've
staked out OWNERSHIP of socialism worldwide.
In other words, the "people's" groups, who claim to be
battling for a better world, are doing the Oligarchs' bidding.
Unconsciously, or on purpose.
Useful idiots.
Socialism has never been about toppling power-hungry leaders.
Its pretension of equality and share-and-care is a cover for
totalitarianism by the few, for the few.
Karl Marx, while predicting a coming utopia on Earth,
expressed the absolute need for a "transition" phase called the
"dictatorship of the proletariat."
Of course, that was a partial misnomer. The "dictatorship"
part was correct, but the proletariat would never run it. They would
labor for it. They would look up from ground level at the leaders who
were supposedly their friends and guardians---and soon realize they'd
been taken in by a long con. There was no transition government. There
was just the same old Oligarchy under another name, that's all.
From Gary Allen's 1971 classic, None Dare Call It Conspiracy:
"We are being socialized in America and everybody knows it.
If we had a chance to sit down and have a cup of coffee with the man in
the street...he might say: 'You know, the one thing I can never figure
out is why all these very, very wealthy people like the Kennedys, the
Fords, the Rockefellers and others are for socialism. Why are the
super-rich for socialism? Don't they have the most to lose...?' In
reality, there is a vast difference between what the promoters define as
socialism and what it is in actual practice. The idea that socialism is
a share-the-wealth program is strictly a confidence game to get the
people to surrender their freedom to an all-powerful collectivist
government. While the insiders [Oligarchs] tell us we are building a paradise on earth, we are actually constructing a jail for ourselves."
When a mega-corporate CEO, whose company is in deep financial
trouble, magically secures a giant loan through a crony, and when that
corporation continues to pollute the land and destroy lives, and while
the government agency that should be hauling off the CEO to prison sits
on its hands, that's socialism in practice. That's the real thing.
The government may not officially own such corporations, as
in the classical definition of socialism, but at the top, the government
and the biggest corporations are cooperating, as one. It's a
distinction without a difference.
Why don't more people understand all this?
Because their minds are clouded with propaganda and feel-good
New Age oatmeal. Because they're convinced that believing in something
that sounds good on the surface ("a better and more just world for all")
is enough, is a pinnacle of achievement for them. And since they're
told this belief is socialism, they're for it.
They will fall for any program on that basis. If pernicious
medical experts assure them that mandated mass vaccination will protect
the planet from disease, they will snap up that vision in a minute. "A
healthy Earth for everyone." It must be true. It feels right.
Recently, I published an astonishing statement made by the
Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio: "What's been hardest is the way our
legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all
over this city, of every background, would like to have the city
government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it
will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be. I think there's a
socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of
community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to
their needs. And I would, too...Look, if I had my druthers, the city
government would determine every single plot of land, how development
would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around
income levels and rents. That's a world I'd love to see, and I think
what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have
the New Deal back, on one level. They'd love to have a very, very
powerful government, including a federal government, involved in
directly addressing their day-to-day reality."
The control of private property, from above, is of course one of the tenets of socialism.
Oligarchs, who promote their brand of socialism, who are also
Globalists (no nations, no borders), want to sweeten their pot through
floods of immigrants. No, they're not thinking about "doing good." They
have propaganda operatives who spout that line.
They're thinking about how they can blur and erase all sorts
of distinctions surrounding private ownership of private property---and
instead, disruptively resettle immigrants, make them dependent on the
State, sink property values, and induce more and more citizens to accept
the idea that "everything belongs to everybody."
This gibberish phrase actually means: the Oligarchs own it all.
This is their premise and their goal.
They mean business, literally and figuratively.
On a much lower level, scratch the surface of any
self-proclaimed socialist who happens own a home, and watch what happens
when you demand he turn that home over to "the people." He suddenly
becomes a raw naked capitalist. He rails against the State.
The State---to whom, when the pressure is off, he claims
every citizen should swear allegiance, so that money and property and
services and goods and energy and every necessity and luxury of life can
be managed, for the benefit of all.
