Sílvia Orriols: “75 años, te piensas que ya lo has visto todo, pero sales a pasear al perro y no vuelves a casa, porque mientras caminabas te encuentras con un marroquí de 18 años que te degolla con una botella de vidrio rota, se llamaba Dolors Agustí, por si les interesa”.
@anti_burocracia Nunca confíes en el Estado. El Estado es una casta que solo mira por ellos.
Mirad ahora lo que pasará con la Línea avales ICO para menores de 35 años. El que entre a eso se arruina.
@MsMelChen Es necesario identificar, denunciar y bloquear todas las cuentas de famosos como @SamuelLJackson o esta china tuerta que ahora están hablando mal de Argentina y tildándola de país racista. Es un ataque coordinado de la izquierda internacional.
Envy needs an ideology, and socialism has always been happy to provide one. Mises wrote a whole book about this in 1956, The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality, and the diagnosis holds up: people who resent the outcomes of voluntary exchange will always search for a doctrine that transforms their resentment into virtue. The woke left found theirs.
Notice what wokeism and socialism share at the root. Both start from the premise that unequal outcomes prove injustice. You earned more than your neighbor? Exploitation. One group outperforms another in median income? Systemic oppression. Neither doctrine ever asks whether people made different choices, took different risks, or produced different value for others. Asking that question would ruin everything, because the entire project depends on assigning blame rather than understanding prices, profit, and loss.
Once you accept that unequal outcomes equal injustice, you need a corrector. Someone powerful. Someone with the authority to override contracts, seize property, and redistribute according to a moral hierarchy the planners themselves define. That job description has exactly one applicant: the state. This is why the woke activist and the socialist always arrive at the same policy desk, demanding rent control in New York, wealth taxes in Sacramento, hiring quotas in every HR department from Seattle to Brussels.
Marcuse and the Frankfurt School figured out decades ago that the Western worker refused to play his assigned role as revolutionary. He got rich instead. Capitalism handed him a car, a house, and air conditioning, and he stopped listening to men promising utopia through expropriation. The revolutionaries needed a new client base. Class became identity, but the machinery stayed identical: oppressor and oppressed, guilt and grievance, revolution and rule.
The love affair with socialism, then, follows logically. Wokeism supplies the moral demand for coercion; socialism supplies the economic apparatus of coercion. Neither can survive in a world of private property and voluntary exchange, because in that world you rise by serving customers, not by capturing committees. Venezuela ran this experiment from 1999 onward. The grocery shelves reported the results.
@CosmicOrFun@precisox A esto lo vengo pensando hace varios años. Imaginemos una especie de Corea del Norte donde sólo vive bien una minoría de la poblacion y esta a su vez es reemplazada gradualmente por robots. No hay forma de ganarle a eso porque los mismos robots son la guardia q les protege.
