"Your life does not benefit us"

"You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight in the social boat, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself." George Bernard Shaw, British Fabian.

Wow, people are gunna love socialism. This particular brand of elitism is so easily veiled as being for the benefit of an ill-conceived (and vaguely defined) greater good, it’s hard for the public to extract much truth. That is of course, any truth to which the authorities do not consider necessary or desirable. The danger here is that this world view, particular to those in an already established position within “civil society” (cradle to grave), leads to ultimately tyranny. They will have to go along with it because livelihoods will be at stake. That is how you control a society. This is what progress means to the elite. In the face of such ideals, we should be reminded that Socialism was the doctrine of both the Nazi’s and the Bolsheviks. Both of which justified mass murder.
