Canada's Debate

I didn’t quite know what (if anything) I was going to post this morning after I woke up. Usually on Sundays I like to relax and give my eyes a bit of a break from by big hunk of a CRT-monitor. That was of course until I came across this steaming-turd of a blog post: Is Socialism violent or is Liberalism hypocritical? You see, apparently all of us liberals had it wrong…

Liberals never cease in presenting, without a shred of evidence, that their ideology is somehow non-violent while socialism and communism are inherently violent. I wanted to take a moment to dispel this fallacy one and for all on both fronts.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. I didn’t believe communism or socialism is inherently violent. Well of course you did, you just didn’t realize it. See, socialists employ something called the Dialectic, and their dialectic makes them all-wise and knowing.

Wait, that’s not right. Socialists are just like liberals. They both think their view of politics and philosophy are superior, and some of them, like for example the aforementioned Paul, are dickheads. The fact of the matter is that no political system is inherently violent or non-violent; but people are. This is not every person is violent, but that every society will have violent traits. This violence can manifest itself in any number of ways, a man who beats his wife, a leader who seeks to dominate others, etc. But if you want to take a hard history approach to human nature, then it becomes pretty obvious that Paul is full of shit, that people are schmucks, and that any social or political system of sufficient size is going to have some violence.
