I take it as a given that most of my
friends have long ago realised how much I detest Socialism in all its deviant
forms. Unfortunately the State of South Australia is ruled by a socialist
clique who were voted into power by those I consider either idiots or infantiles.
For example it is the only State in
Australia not to have allowed Uber to operate; why? Because Uber takes the
power out of the hands of the government/union/bureaucracy and places it firmly
into the hands of the public:
Ultimately, Uber,
AirBbB and other cooperative social sharing networks and app-based service
providers have sprung up in response to a corrupt establishment - a tangled web
of cronyism that involves government regulators who want to tax, control and
organize networks, and massive unions who seek to keep a stranglehold on jobs
and industries. Uber openly subverts a scheme between local governments and
labor unions to limit choice in transportation to that which is both approved
by government and operated by unions. The result is inflated pricing,
artificial scarcity and a market that doesn't operate with consumers in mind.
Instead of changing their system to respond to consumer needs, transportation
unions would rather just shut down the subversive businesses entirely. [ Emily Zanotti on 7.13.15
American Spectator]
FREE enterprise (emphasis on Free) is something
a socialist bureaucracy has nightmares about. Incidentally South Australia also
has the highest unemployment rates in Australia, correlation anyone?
These are people who believe in a utopian
society where the State shapes behaviour because, well; every right-thinking person knows that whilst
we were all born perfect, society has corrupted us and causes us to make bad
choices, (the Rousseaun doctrine; foundational cause of the French 'revolution/bloodbath’
‘everywhere born free, but now in chains' etc) ergo it is only the state
(maternal/paternal bureaucracy) that can correct
our behaviour.
Thus we have prisoners with more rights
than victims, (shame, its not their fault, its our society's fault). We have
traitors blaming the West for terrorists behaviour, we have state bureaucrats
determining that lower and ever stupidly lower speed limits
(in spite of research reaching an opposite conclusion) can eradicate death from
the roads (an escapist mindset signalling that; we don't have to die if only we
let the state look after us).
We have financial penalties becoming the
social behavioural tool of the 21st century with 'experts' (always in white
smocks) lining up to say how behaviour is modified by fining people (tell that
to the dropkicks I spoke to when driving a cab who boasted of how they 'beat
the system' by never paying and eventually being forgiven their debts) the
exorbitant and in many cases unfair (invisible when you don't even know they
exist) financial penalties levied on the population which in reality only
punish the middle class conservatives, those who are trying to live responsible
and honest lifestyles...the wealthy don't care two hoots and the drop-kicks
just rort the system.
But don't tell that to the keepers of the
'system' because they already know that (many are opposed to the bourgeois
anyway), besides they rely on the revenue to fund their hand-out mentality thus
keeping the infantile/couldn't-care-less-as-long-as-I-get-my-handout's in line
with goodies.
Capitalism and free enterprise are flawed
systems, but they knock the socks off of the alternative which have proved to
be not only failures but misanthropic to boot.
