The stunning ability of liberals and people on the Left to believe a web of socialist, group-living, Satan-embracing lies, and, never to waver from believing them firmly, staggers me. Regardless of how often liberal and socialist policies fail when implemented, these true believers deny that such tangible, routine failures are not connected to them, or their failed policies.
How else can we interpret the mountain of evidence that socialism does not work? There is San Francisco with animal and human feces everywhere, California with no economy and incredibly high taxes, Chicago with hatred of the police and contempt for law and order, with legislated severe gun control while group-living, gang-banging young men are killing each other and going to prison while raise by an unwed Mom, supported by the welfare system, and another absent Dad not shaping us his teenage son. Then there are those poor, lost millions of souls Venezuela--you get the picture--big government intervention in private lives, centrally planned economy and groupism, all darlings of the Left--they do not work and spread anarchy, filth, misery, poverty and fascism.
I am not a philosophical purist. No matter what their declared first principles, their a priori reasoning, and their pretty, flawless, consistent chains of reasoning to reach them to conclude as they do, when a policy fails repeatedly, it is not factually true, no matter how valid the syllogism.
An advocate, like I am, of moderate, provisional, a posteriori truth, avows that the veracity of, the soundness of, and the truth of a statement is directly connected to how it plays out in reality. Even factoring for unforeseen consequences, imperfect implementation, the consistent, total, absolute failure of socialist policies over many decades in many settings, prove that the truths that small government, individual-living and free markets are what work, what render people healthy, wealthy, free and fulfilled.
When will the Left wake up, smell the coffee and admit to their error of their ways? I am not hopeful because they are true believers, and have proven to be very resilient to clinging their disproven, wrong, foolish and tragic set of values.
People are basically wicked. Wicked people live a life of death, lying and slavery. Wicked people do not want to admit that they are wicked, so they run in packs as joining losers and lazy nonindividuators, and they use the popularity game to keep anyone from leaving the herd. They all lie and to each other and reinforce each other, and the tradtion of lies becomes a custom that is passed on from generation to generation.
Until Mavellonialism catches on, and it will eventually after I am gone, there is little chance that the Left and Liberals will change their thinking and their sinful ways.
Once Mavellonialism takes of, then the majority of people will individual-live, will be free, truth-loving, truth-embracing and truth-growing. Their free market maverizing will leave them well off and life-loving. Such a population will have little truck with Leftist solutions. That is the only way to convert the liberals and socialists from lying to themselves shamelessly.
