Have we become a communist country yet? Part II

Filed Under Communism, Education, National, Socialism | 1 Comment

Below is Chapter 3 of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS.
The Constitution of the United States in comparison grants none of these delegated powers to the federal government. Strangely enough our federal government has over the years adopted practically all of these responsibilities and powers that the Soviet government gave to itself to mold social development and culture. Even though most Americans despised communism and the Soviet Union during the Cold War and would consider these powers to be tyrannical and un-American, how many people have noticed that the federal government through its many laws and the alphabet soup agencies they created over the decades have adopted parts of the Soviet Constitution? Not many I would guess. I don’t think most Americans have a clue about what powers are delegated to their federal government in the constitution and why, but I would guess confidently though that many Americans would defend the federal government having these Soviet-like responsibilities and powers anyway—they would even consider it American as apple pie if only because they don’t know any better! Is there any wonder why this country is headed down the crapper like the late Soviet Union? Our forefathers must be turning in their graves.

Chapter 3: SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE

Article 19. The social basis of the USSR is the unbreakable alliance of the workers, peasants, and intelligentsia.
The state helps enhance the social homogeneity of society, namely the elimination of class differences and of the essential distinctions between town and country and between mental and physical labour, and the all-round development and drawing together of all the nations and nationalities of the USSR.

Article 20. In accordance with the communist ideal–”The free development of each is the condition of the free development of all”–the state pursues the aim of giving citizens more and more real opportunities to apply their creative energies, abilities, and talents, and to develop their personalities in every way.

Article 21. The state concerns itself with improving working conditions, safety and labour protection and the scientific organisation of work, and with reducing and ultimately eliminating all arduous physical labour through comprehensive mechanisation and automation of production processes in all branches of the economy.

Article 22. A programme is being consistently implemented in the USSR to convert agricultural work into a variety of industrial work, to extend the network of educational, cultural, and medical institutions, and of trade, public catering, service and public utility facilities in rural localities, and transform hamlets and villages into well-planned and well-appointed settlements.

Article 23. The state pursues a steady policy of raising people’s pay levels and real incomes through increase in productivity.
In order to satisfy the needs of Soviet people more fully social consumption funds are created. The state, with the broad participation of public organisations and work collectives, ensures the growth and just distribution of these funds.

Article 24. In the USSR, state systems of health protection, social security, trade and public catering, communal services and amenities, and public utilities, operate and are being extended.
The state encourages co-operatives and other public organisations to provide all types of services for the population. It encourages the development of mass physical culture and sport.

Article 25. In the USSR there is a uniform system of public education, which is being constantly improved, that provides general education and vocational training for citizens, serves the communist education and intellectual and physical development of the youth, and trains them for work and social activity.

Article 26. In accordance with society’s needs, the state provides for planned development of science and the training of scientific personnel and organises introduction of the results of research in the economy and other spheres of life.

Article 27. The state concerns itself with protecting, augmenting and making extensive use of society’s cultural wealth for the moral and aesthetic education of the Soviet people, for raising their cultural level.

In the USSR development of the professional, amateur and folk arts is encouraged in every way.

REAL ID Trojan Horse

Filed Under Education | Leave a Comment

From DownsizeDC: Take action immediately

“Here’s what’s at stake . . .

The immigration controversy, and the legislation it has spawned, has become a Trojan Horse for imposing the REAL ID Act on all Americans, and entangling all of us in a bureaucratic nightmare of apocalyptic proportions.

Think for a moment about all the problems there have been with the terrorist watch list. Think about all the innocent Americans who have been placed on this list for no discernible reason, and the trouble people have had getting off this list. Now . . .

Imagine this same kind of bureaucratic nightmare expanding to entangle every job and business in America. This is what the REAL ID provisions of the new Senate Immigration Bill (S. 2611) will bring about.”

Dumb and Dumber

Filed Under Education, National | 4 Comments

Some terrifying thoughts came to my mind after watching this video. One, that some of these dullards will be voting in the next election, and two, that there may be tens of millions more like them out there.
This may be the greatest obstacle to liberty.

Invitation to a Guerilla War

Jim Ostrowski waking people up to the damage they are doing to their children by sending them to government schools at LewRockwell.com

You Are Cordially Invited to a Guerilla War
by James Ostrowski

Recent events in Buffalo have me thinking about government schools again. Fourteen Catholic schools closed including the neighborhood school my children happily attend. We were devastated. My son asked me, “Are you going to send us to a government school?” I said, “No way would we ever do that!”

Long story short. The government school system is finally beginning to realize its original mission: to knock off Catholic schools. The nuns and brothers had fought the good fight for 150 years. Without reinforcements, Catholic schools, with one-half of all private school students, are in deep trouble.

Government’s de facto monopoly over primary and secondary education is our single biggest problem, a problem that is genetically linked to all our other political problems.
