Socialism: The Murderers’ Manifesto

“Because it requires theft and murder, socialism is a doctrine of psychopaths.”

“My criticism of Marxism may seem harsh and rhetorical, based more on empirical evidence, on how socialist systems have actually turned out in reality, but that’s not true, I’m drawing my conclusions largely from the Marxist ideas themselves.”

“The fact that empirical evidence shows them to be as horrible as my conclusions indicates that the problem with Marxism isn’t that it hasn’t been correctly implemented, but that it has, that the ideas are as horrible as the reality, only dressed in pretty clothes of propaganda.”

“Because as bad as the problem of motivation is, the problems of choice and corruption are even worse. There’s no getting around it. Socialism is necessarily totalitarian; there’s no such thing as democratic or voluntary socialism.”

“How else will workers take control of the means of production, something they do not possess, other than with force? No one will voluntarily give up what they’ve created, something they own, without coercion. No one chooses to have their property stolen.”

“So you’d have to steal from anyone who has anything valuable, then kill them if they do not agree with your theft, do not agree with your ideology, do not agree with your methods, do not agree with your ‘paradise’ of liars, thieves, and murderers.”

“There’s nothing cooperative or democratic about this. And the very idea of collectivism is a lie. You don’t ‘collectively’ own anything. If you did, you’d have some say, but you don’t, only the dictator does, only the dictator gets to decide what’s to be done.”

“Only the dictator decides and the rest are his slaves, with no say on how they’re to be treated, how their property is to be treated, how they should live, what work they should do, even whether they can expect to live another day.”

“If that sounds like an exaggeration, if you think your admirable comrade in revolution will never treat you this badly, you’re forgetting what kind of person he is, what kind of person has no moral problem with stealing, with killing, with lying.”

“Because that’s the kind of person it takes to bring about socialism, someone who doesn’t respect others’ individuality, their moral agency, even their moral worth as persons, but only what they want, what they think, what they believe should be done.”

“It comes down to an ultimate form of arrogance, that you know better than anyone, better than any tradition, any school of thought, so much so that you can discard all moral conventions like they’re nothing, and live life like a true nihilist.”

“Because if you weren’t such a despicable person, you couldn’t stomach the very idea of stealing someone’s property and killing them, much less execute that idea in real life over and over until you’ve killed millions of people just because they do not agree with your ideas.”

“That’s a special breed of evil that even our traditional ideas about the Devil do not contain, the kind of person whose narcissism, arrogance, selfishness, dishonesty, callousness, cruelty, and stupidity knows no bounds, the kind of person the woke ideology is breeding.”

“Why would you be surprised that such a person will not think twice about having you killed if you do not agree with their agenda, with their ideology, if they do not find you useful in their plans? You’re not a person to them, but just a means to achieve their goals.”

“This fundamental disrespect of personhood is what’s behind totalitarianism, woke ideology, political correctness, and censorship, because they’re so arrogant to think they know better than you, that they won’t even allow you to speak, even to think otherwise.”

“Or they couldn’t care less what you think because only what they think matters because everything is a mere will to power, because there’s no justice, no right or wrong, only what they want, what they want to achieve, everything else a mere obstacle.”

“And these woke, Marxist types that complain about slavery and reparation is just pure comedy when their whole ideology is based on disrespecting you as a person, on literally making you, and everyone else, a slave of the state, of the dictator, in their ideal socialist society.”

“Of course, they can’t admit to this, they can’t be honest about who they are, because that’ll turn off most people, because most people have a conscience, most people realize the kind of hell involved in this ‘paradise,’ in this proliferation of lies, theft, and murder.”

“So they dress up their poison with propaganda like ‘the rich got rich by stealing from the poor’ etc. to justify their depraved actions, to justify stealing, because then it’s just a payback, a kind of justice, when they don’t even believe in justice, but you probably do.”

“And the radical left makes these sorts of insane statements all the time which are false by any rational account. That’s like saying all humans are murderers and therefore deserve to die. Even a retard can recognize what a gross generalization it is, at best.”

“Sure, some people got rich by stealing, yes there are thieves out there for sure, but that’s illegal and all you have to do is expose them to bring them to justice, but if you claim that everyone’s a thief, where’s your mountain of evidence on everyone?”

“If you mean that they got rich by political corruption, by colluding with the government, lobbying, and fixing things in their favor, sure, that exists, even rampant, but that’s not stealing, the problem is corruption, not capitalism itself.”

“And there are plenty of people who got their money the honest way, through hard work and dedication, through innovation and creativity, who deserve nothing but praise, and not your resentment, not your cruel generalizations that condemn them along with actual thieves.”

“And such stupid generalizations do not justify anything. If stealing is wrong for the rich, it’s wrong for the poor too, if you’re justified in indiscriminately stealing and killing others, others are justified in indiscriminately stealing and killing you too.”

“The proper moral response to the thieves is to expose and bring them to justice, not to turn into thieves and murderers yourselves, certainly not make a society full of thieves and murderers, that’s the worst kind of response, the bloody socialist solution.”

“Marxism is a disease, full of all moral wrongs you can imagine, but dressed up as a cure, as something cooperative, democratic, and fair when it’s anything but, because its tenets require violence in the worst way, require that you give up morality altogether.”

“The problem of choice cannot be solved except by capitalism because any other way is basically making slaves of people, by denying them such a fundamental economic activity that free moral agents are entitled to make.”

“Any other way is totalitarian, imposing your will upon others with force, not with persuasion, but with violence, with thievery, with lies, with murder. Ask any socialist who pretends otherwise, what they’ll do if you don’t agree with their ideology.”

“How will they achieve cooperation when their propaganda doesn’t work, when persuasion doesn’t work, when you disagree with their stupid ideology? Their only options are to go away and sulk or coerce you into agreeing with them, i.e. show their true colors.”

“Because you’re not a person to them, you’re just an obstacle, a means, to be used however they want. Because if they respected you as a person, they’d allow you to speak, to disagree, to engage in an honest exchange of ideas, not just propaganda.”

“And if that doesn’t work, you’ll have to agree to disagree and go your separate ways, make a peaceful exit. To respond with violence, with theft, and with murder is the way of the psychopath, so socialism is ultimately a doctrine of psychopaths.”
