In his 1980 book titled Seeds of Progress, Leonard E. Read reminds the reader of the prescient words of George Washington.
There is a natural and necessary progression from the extreme of anarchy to the extreme of tyranny, and arbitrary power is most established on the ruins of liberty.
Leonard E. Read then goes on quote Dr. Ludwig von Mises who wrote “Socialism is planned chaos. Anarchy is unplanned chaos.”
Consider the weeks of violence and anarchy in Portland and other cities. It was the first step in the communists’ designs upon America. The continuing erosion of our culture is intended to restrain America’s potential in every conceivable way.
Furthermore, in the chapter “Two Ways to Go Wrong” Read emphasizes that those who would deny impartial justice will heartily support anarchy and tyranny.
First tell me who you are and then I’ll tell you what your rights are.
A society in which gross inequalities before the law are tolerated will prevent the market from operating in its economic life.
And so socialism and communism worm their way into the fabric of our lives aided and abetted by the most Leftwing President this country has ever experienced and our economy is worsening.
As Read asserts “[w]hen the government enters your home, takes your possessions, keeps them for himself or gives it to others to obtain their votes, it is coercive force.”
When Biden mandates what people must do with their bodies and when his henchmen (DeBlasio, Murphy, Lightfoot and Newsom) dictate where Americans can dine, shop and enjoy life, we are in the throes of a dictatorship.
The internal enemies of the state are ensuring that America’s youth are denied learning about their birthright and the foundational ideas such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Without understanding and valuing these basic principles, the young cannot perceive they are worth defending. Mull over the erasure of the 1776 Project by Biden.
Instead, indoctrinate them with misinformation and outright lies and demand they regurgitate the information. Create at least two generations of historically illiterate youth. Consider the administration’s embrace of Critical Race Theory.
Eliminate literature that emphasizes character building. Instead advocate tracts of repetitive hate-filled ideas that pit student against student based on their skin pigmentation. Reflect on the adoption of the works of anti-White author Ibrahim Kendi with nary a word from the Department of Education.
Distort language so students are ignorant of the nuances of words and ideas and cannot engage in genuine critical thinking or introspective questioning. Heck, men are women and girls can be erased altogether. Confusion abounds because as Jacques Barzun stated, “[i]ntellect deteriorates after every surrender to folly. Unless we consciously resist, the nonsense does not pass us by but into us.”
Should one, however, dare to speak out, quickly punish the offending individual. Consider the ongoing censorship and assault against speakers on campuses and no rebuke from the administration. Consider the inhumane incarceration of Americans who marched on January 6, 2021.
