Delusional.

Who gives a crap.  No one is saying you are not good man or otherwise.  You've just come here to stir the pot.  Well, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.  (please)

You are not having a discussion, nor trying to.  This is a monologue, and now no longer even about the quotes but about you.

"I am one man against a whole planet of Psychotics."  Classic narcissism.

I beg to disagree — you seem pretty psychotic to me. 

Why are you here?

And there are MANY warfronts.  That is why ultimately the Truth sets us free.  Let there be no doubt, we are at war with the powers-that-should-not-be.

This comment has nothing to do with the quote.  Give it a rest, man.  'What a narcissist.' That's not just what I see, but what I feel.

"In an investigation, details matter."  — Reacher

Since oil is literally power, is it any surprise that every conflict in the last 50 years can be traced to oil and pipelines?  The primary purpose for military presence in Afghanistan was to protect the Unocal pipeline.  Conflicts in Syria and Jordan involve oil transport.  Contracting oil production in the US literally makes the nation weaker.  Socialists worldwide are causing oil production to cease without a ready alternate source of energy.  The result is that the climate alarmist nations have less energy and with the same demand, and now are dependent on communist Russia to make up the shortfall.  Is the plan to bring the Western world to its knees in submission to communist nations not plain as day?  Putin is laughing at us. 

An armed citizenry in Ukraine is not going to be a push-over.  They are defending their home from a government that is laying claim to them — just like the gun-grabbers in the States.  The enemy waits until you have disarmed and then pounces — much to the surprise of a trusting populace.  It can't happen here? An armed populace is the ONLY guard against such tyranny.

Fred, I invite you to consider that what "propagates from the heart and soul of one individual" is his philosophy.  If your philosophy differs from socialism (as commonly defined in political science), I suggest giving it a different name that helps highlight a key component of the idea "we use our social abilities to sustain life."  Pick a name that describes that idea.  (The word "socialism" is already taken.)  What social abilities? What sustenance? 

A republican form of government does not 'rule' the people; it provides a government of laws, not men, on the basis of Common Law, which has no statutes, only the rules for jurisprudence in which the inalienable and natural-born rights of humankind are adjudicated by a jury of one's own peers.  There are 3 distinct lawful jurisdictions in the USA — common law, commercial law, and admiralty/military law.  American governors and legislators have been given no charter to "rule" despite the common notion that they can make whatever rules they wish.  Power corrupts, and socialism is the theft of everyone's power to choose, put into the hands of a few or the one.

Good for you, Fred.  As long as "your brand" of socialism does not lay claim to my labors, body, property or family and respects the natural born rights of humankind, then you can lead whatever socialists club you like.  My heart and soul is for Freedom, not democracy, and I have plenty to give without your brand of socialism's compulsion.  Hitler had a "brand" of socialism that came right from his heart and soul, too, so did Lenin, Mussolini, Castro, and Mao.

I would prefer to address your numerous posts on the benefits of socialism where they are.  You seem confused:
"Socialism is the idea that we use our social abilities to change the world."
What dictionary did this come from?
"You just have meaningless labels."
The labels of liberal or reformer are not meaningless, as I have explained..

No, 'We' are the People, not the government.  We the People have chartered a government of laws not of men.

A republican form of government is strictly bound to a Constitution and a Bill of Rights that explicitly define limits to power.  The rights of the People are antecedent its government and cannot ever be legislated away.  The people elect their representatives in government.  So the government is subservient to the people. 

'We' are not the government; the People have created the goverment, and since the government has no jurisdiction over We the People, you can say we 'govern' ourselves by every individual governing himself/herself.  I govern myself; you govern yourself, and we respect each others' rights.  Thomas Jefferson describes a republican form of government:

“The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to everyone exactly the functions in which he is competent ...

- To let the National Government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations ...
- The State Governments with the Civil Rights, Laws, Police and administration of what concerns the State generally.
- The Counties with the local concerns, and each ward direct the interests within itself.

It is by dividing and subdividing these Republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations until it ends in the administration of everyman's farm by himself, by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best.”

Sorry, Simply repeating the same false projection with exclamation points is not an argument.

The root of the word liberal is liberalis (suitable for a freeman, generous) and liber (free).  A person who is liberal is open-minded or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional, or established forms or ways.  To be free is to be unrestrained in form, the only 'reformation' is from being in a state of restriction to being unrestricted.

The classical liberal is ever standing up against claims upon his person, labors and property.  The American republican form of government is based on classical liberalism — republicans are true liberals.

To 'reform' is the method to one's freedom.  Once free, the liberal protects his freedom — so the liberal is also a conservative.  A liberal is a freeman, and to maintain that freeman status the person must take responsibility for it and act in its defense against so-called 'reformers' with designs on him.

Today's "liberal" reformers are but followers of the religion of Power, to "eat the rich" and "burn it down."  Their goal is not Liberty but subservience and perpetual 'service' to the State.  THAT is socialism, so say the socialists themselves.  They call that "equity" and apparently the freeman must give up his liberty to make things "fair."

Just goes to show the government is at war with the People.

Those in seats of power cannot be trusted, hence a republican form of government to protect against the wiles of power-hungry politicians appropriating wealth and property from the People.  We are never to trust the government — we are to keep them in check.

an intolerant majority, swayed by passion or by fear, may be prone in the future, as it has been in the past, to stamp as disloyal opinions with which it disagrees.

Not when one is trying to reform a liberal program.  'Liberal' doesn't even mean liberal anymore, it means statist.  And statist programs are in need of reform as soon as they are implemented.

The key words being "concept" and "appears."  It all depends on who gets to coordinate and plan who's lives.  Regulated life is servitude, plain and simple.

I haven't ever witnessed Canadians stand up for Freedom until the Freedom Convoy.  Liberals have long given up on Liberty for an illusion of safety — through ever-increasing draconian measures.  What can citizens of countries without a Bill of Rights do to resist state oppression?  Not much...

I guess this means most of the world's governments are not nearly in the center...  The US, Canada, Australia, France, lead the way in authoritarian power grabs using the pandemic as a pretext while doing everything they can to dis-empower any citizen who expresses dissent.  Freedom hangs by a thread as the Great Reset aims to re-write the rules of society worldwide.  Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

See the Summer of 2020 and the Antifa occupations — no charges.  Whereas in Canada, the RCMP will be tracking down every person that waved a flag on Parliament Hill in protest of mandates shutting down people's lives.  Those that sent in a $50 donation have had their bank accounts frozen and insurance cancelled.  Scratch a liberal, find a authoritarian.

Servitude remains the #1 racket in the world.
