Russian mathematician and dissident Igor Shafarevich published a book in 1975 called “The death instinct in history”in which he called socialism anthropological constant designated. There is something to it.
For Karl Marx this had to be done pejoratively “capitalist“Called the market economy system, to which he at least granted a high value-added capacity, lead to the impoverishment of the proletarian masses. He was completely wrong. Lenin and Stalin believed in the superiority of socialism over the free market economy. However, this superiority was limited to the production of piles of corpses. After Stalin’s death, Nikita Khrushchev dreamed that the USSR would overtake the United States in economic terms. That didn `t work. The fall of the Soviet Union finally marked – supposedly – the final victory of capitalism and that end of the story (Francis Fukuyama).
After the socialists realized that planned economies had no chance against the principle of the free market with regard to the production of prosperity, they changed their strategy and shifted to demonizing consumption and fantasizing about “higher values”. From the “Common good“About, or from the”Social justice“(Whatever that may be). Also “solidarity“Is often conjured up. Outside of a kibbutz, however, this is always the case in every socialist community forced – and coercion has nothing to do with solidarity. Nobody can be forced to be “good”, because freedom of choice is an indispensable prerequisite for this.
The serial failure of socialist experiments and the invention of ever new names for them (“eco-social market economy ”,“ Economy for the common good“, Etc.) does not change anything at its core: Free interactions of citizens are prevented by a rigid set of rules imposed by a central bureaucracy. For this, an allegedly higher goal is pretended. At present, as the latest attempt to establish socialism – worldwide – the “Climate rescue“. Anyone who opposes this project, or even expresses criticism of the coercive measures taken for it, exposes himself to the accusation of being lacking in solidarity, irresponsible or even an enemy of humanity.
Nobody gives himself up to the illusion that “saving the climate” aims at less than a radical system change! Saving the climate is not a goal, but a means to an end.
Out of enthusiasm for the honorable intention of saving polar bears from extinction and the Maldives from sinking, the political elites, most intellectuals and urban bobos, do not waste a thought on how civilization can be sustained without nuclear power and conventional energy generation , on the immediate consequences of a repressive climate policy on the average person who needs a car to get to work and wants to be able to pay the heating bills for his apartment.
It is well known that the world is supposed to recover from the German being. A government is just taking office in Germany that gives rise to the best hopes in this regard: no nuclear power, no conventional caloric power plants and, at the same time, a switch to electromobility. That’s going to be great! The electricity comes from the socket and, according to the new Foreign Minister Baerbock, the network serves as a storage facility.
In addition, private property is being called into question: the protagonists of the expropriation of private property owners sit in the ranks of the governing parties. The Germans serve the world – once again – as role models. Only this time your flag is green and not red.
The German “energy turnaround” is about to fail furiously. After the first blackouts caused by network congestion, this knowledge will also find its way into the editorial offices. Then, however, the damage done will not be repairable anytime soon. If Germany is from a left-wing government finally If you hit the wall, it will have dramatic consequences for the rest of Europe as well.
