Marxists and Mat Hatters

Maybe the best take on Socialism ever: (Ignore the bad grammar...it's the substance that matters.)

" 'Theft from who I think is rich is ok. Theft from who you think is rich is not, especially if it is me! ' Socialism is not for the socialist. Socialism is for everybody else."

Apparently the FleaBagger encampments are rife with thievery. And it's outraging those who are being stolen from...as they advocate for the government to steal the property and wealth of others and give it to themselves.

The creed of the Socialist:

1) It's okay for me to steal from people richer than me.
2) It's NOT okay for people poorer than me to steal MY stuff.

Socialism is not for the socialist.

So nicely understood in Sharing Without Asking. (see comments for above quote)

It so reminds me of my nephew when he was young and stupid. Actually, it reminds me of ME when I was young and stupid:

The age he (and I) were was between 16 - 18 years old...and amazingly it was the EXACT age  at which people are the coolest! Go figure!

Our younger siblings weren't as cool because they were too young. And everybody older was lame because they were too old. He (I) was the PERFECT age...the coolest age.

What a coincidence!

If you asked me why I was cooler than my younger siblings, I would have said because I was older. If you asked me why I was cooler than my parents, I would have said because I was younger.

Staggering narcissism.  Staggering logic.

And these little FleaBaggers are exactly like that. As they see it, they are the perfect victims, the presumptive beneficiaries of the government's theft of other people's wealth...but never the one's from whom wealth is taken to benefit those less fortunate than themselves!

If you ask them why they should get other people's money, they'll say that the rich have more than they do, and they should share it with those who have less. If you ask them why they don't want to give poorer people their own money, they'll say it's because it belongs to them, and no one has a right to their stuff.

I don't think it's possible to have a conversation with them that doesn't resemble one you might have with the Mad Hatter.
