“My right to unlimited rights”

Posted 08 Jul 2008 in Democrats, socialism, wise quotes

Sounds like the new Obama campaign slogan, but nope, it’s the name of an excellent column by Mike S. Adams. (h/t: Crush Liberalism)

This trait of being more in love with consumption than production is one shared by most of my socialist colleagues in academia. They base their lives on the idea of taking “from each according to his ability” and giving “to each according to his need.” The problem is that they do a better job of articulating their needs than promoting their abilities. This is, of course, because socialists are generally short on abilities. They seek socialism because they think being guaranteed an average outcome is safer than trying to beat the average in a system based on merit, which is otherwise known as ability.

Winston Churchill had this pegged back in the day, when he said “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
