"WANT IS WEALTH
POVERTY IS PROSPERITY
SQUALOR IS LUXURY"

Comrades, are we alone? Da? Good, because the following is for our eyes only. It must never be discussed outside our small self-circumscribed circle of Elitism.

Let us rejoice and praise Gaia and our Dear Imperial Majesty 0bama (APBUH) that the conservative Tearrorists are so stupid. If they ever utilized our own tactics – that of pitting one group against another – we would be doomed.

We all know that we, the ruling class of takers, righteously and korrektly pit our other class of takers (the sheeple) against the makers, even though, as our DIM 0bama (APBUH) korrektly pointed out, they didn't build that. We have told them from their youth up that they are the 99%, and the 1% makers have stolen all the sheeple's stuff, and therefore the makers must make restitution through redistribution.

But what would happen if the Tearrorists used our own tactics against us? What if they were to tell our sheeple, whenever one of them bleated “You're a racist! You hate people! You hate our children from other countries! You're the cause of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Disruption! You want everyone to die!”, and thus immediately identified themselves as the pathetic true-believing non-thinking fully indoctrinated fools they are, that as a Tearrorist, they agree with the sheeple? That they've seen the light and come around? That they have the answer, and the answer is:
~
"Let's go to the people who have all the stuff. Because they're righteously getting everything from those evil makers who didn't build that. Let's go to the people who tell us every minute of every day how much they care for us. Let's go to The 0bama House, because we know how much he loves us. He tells us he loves us.

"He wants to see us and be with us. All of us, along with our children from other countries. They need food and homes and stuff too. And let's be sure those children use, proliferate, and train us up in the skills they've practiced in their former countries as MS-13 devotees, for they do it with Teddy bears and with Love. We'll have bi-lingual march leaders who'll shout slogans in Spanish and maybe even English, but we can debate that later.

"Slogans like 'Yes We Can Take Our House' and 'We Are The Ones We've Been Waiting For to Get Our Stuff From DIM 0bama (APBUH)' and 'You Didn't Build That So It's Ours' and 'Spread The Wealth to Us' and 'We're The Fundamental Transformation' and 'We're Here Because You're Redistributing Directly To Us Now.'

"Let's march up to Dear Imperial Majesty 0bama (APBUH)'s house, knock on the door, and let him know we want to live with him so he can spread the wealth he righteously wants to redistribute from the makers who didn't build that to us. Let's tell him we want to let him make good on his promise to give us everything – his house, because it's our house. He usurped occupies the 0bama House for us, and we have come to take the keys from his generous and willing hand.

"His food from Moochelle's Michelle's Organic Garden that his chefs and wait-staff serve him anytime he wants some, along with the Kobe beef and hamburgers and shrimp and French fries and beer and wine and cigarettes and doobies, because it's ours. His pastries and cakes that he told us must have crack in them that his bakers make, because they don't make them, and they're our Crack Cakes.

"We want to be driven in his motorcades because they're our motorcades. We want to fly in his helicopters and 747s because they're our helicopters and 747s. We want to vacation in Martha's Vineyard and golf at the courses he golfs at and live in the house he bought with Tony Rezko in Chicago and the house at Rancho Mirage that he's not buying because he's giving it to us and go with him wherever he goes, because we want to let him spread the wealth he righteously took for us and give it to us.

"And being the Majesty of We the People, he can teach all of us about TA, roof hits, and interception while he spreads the wealth with us from his other “green” stash.

"But that won't be enough space and food for all of us to occupy. DIM 0bama (APBUH) has all sorts of buildings and places – like the Capitol and IRS and Treasury and EPA and Justice and the Supreme Court and State and countless other facilities that we own and he keeps for us all over this land where his minions work and do his bidding.

"Federal buildings and land where we can go and live rent-free with new kitchens from one of 0bama's other stashes and where we can have food delivered to us from the places that his minions that he'll give to us get food from now. We know 0bama wants us to have them too.

"He tells us that it's all for us, because everything he does is for us, The People. Those millions of minions who currently occupy those buildings every government workday will gladly let us take their offices and their computers and iPhones and furniture and stuff so we can use them. Because they're public servants, and we're the public, and so they exist to serve us.

"Of course, a lot of those federal offices don't have nice soft beds to sleep in, and they don't always have enough toilet facilities (if we want to start using them instead of police cars and floors and sidewalks to do our business) for all of us who will march to claim our rightful places that the public servants currently occupy. So we can go to their servants at the media outlets. Because we all know that the media's only reason for being is to praise and advance the purposes of DIM 0bama (APBUH) so he can give us stuff.

"Then we can go to the colleges and universities where we all learned how evil the United States as founded was and how the government under DIM 0bama (APBUH) exists to give us everything we want, because we're entitled, because we are. We know the professors and all the faculties and staffs will want to hand their campuses over to us and give us more indoctrination education for free because they know we need to know and believe what they believe and they believe everything should be free and everyone should always listen to them, and they love DIM 0bama (APBUH) and they want him to have more power and since DIM 0bama (APBUH) wants us all to have free indoctrinations educations they'll give us those indoctrinations educations with no tuitions or fees of any kind. The pleasure of doing the will of DIM 0bama (APBUH) and serving us with the dissemination of their wisdom is payment enough for them.

"We can take over the campuses and smoke the profs' doobies because by then we might've gone through DIM 0bama (APBUH)'s stash and even our children from other countries might've run out of the stashes they brought and righteously took when they got to their new home, this country, because of their love. Those campuses even have places where we can live – on-campus housing and frats and sororities with all sorts of fresh juicy co-eds who'll do our bidding and share their doobies – and if they're very nice to us, we might even let some of them co-habit with us.

"But there still won't be enough space for all of us. And we still won't have enough nice soft beds we can sleep in until ten AM like our DIM 0bama (APBUH). So we will righteously and korrektly demand that all DIM 0bama (APBUH)'s minions we've met on our Long March give us the cars and SUVs that they use which actually belong to us, because they wouldn't have them if they didn't have our Great DIM 0bama (APBUH) to redistribute to them. Then they can show us how to get to our new houses that they've been occupying until we arrived to take them, because they're really our houses, and they didn't build them.

"Then the Fundamental Transformation of the Great Satan America will be complete. Then we, The People, will have it all, and we can tell DIM 0bama (APBUH) to keep taking from the makers who didn't build that and redistribute it to us while we stay on in the government and media buildings and campuses and houses and land that belong to us.

"After all, makers who didn't build that are stupid. They'll keep making things they don't make, like i-Phones and TVs, and keep giving more of it to DIM 0bama (APBUH) and then we'll keep getting it all, because we want it and he said wealth needs to be redistributed, and when he says that, he means redistributed to us. By him. Because he and his minions will always do that for us, just like DIM 0bama (APBUH) told us he will. We'll all be happy and have everything then."

Worse still – Tearrorists could use such a sheeple uprising to wreak even more damage upon us. That for another day, dear Comrades, but in the meantime, keep shouting ad-hominem attacks at the Tearrorists and drive them cowering from our presence! After all, even the stupid occasionally get lucky, if given half a chance.

And if that were to happen, what would we do then?

Fear not, fellow and female and transgendering Cubers, that will never happen. The Tearrorists merely gripe and moan among themselves. They never do what we always do. They will not act. Even though they'd just need to talk and lead a little, while they use our Alinsky Community Agitation tactics against us. We are safe, for we are in charge, and they know it. They wouldn't dare hinder the continued building of – for we do build – the Great 0bamanation!

All thanks be to DIM 0bama and to his lord Gaia that the Tearrorists are so stupid!

James Madison

29 Mar. 1792 Papers 14:266--68


This term in its particular application means "that dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, in exclusion of every other individual." In its larger and juster meaning, it embraces every thing to which a man may attach a value and have a right; and which leaves to every one else the like advantage. In the former sense, a man's land, or merchandize, or money is called his property. In the latter sense, a man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.

He has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them. He has a property very dear to him in the safety and liberty of his person. He has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.

Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions. Where there is an excess of liberty, the effect is the same, tho' from an opposite cause.

Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.

According to this standard of merit, the praise of affording a just securing to property, should be sparingly bestowed on a government which, however scrupulously guarding the possessions of individuals, does not protect them in the enjoyment and communication of their opinions, in which they have an equal, and in the estimation of some, a more valuable property.

More sparingly should this praise be allowed to a government, where a man's religious rights are violated by penalties, or fettered by tests, or taxed by a hierarchy. Conscience is the most sacred of all property; other property depending in part on positive law, the exercise of that, being a natural and unalienable right. To guard a man's house as his castle, to pay public and enforce private debts with the most exact faith, can give no title to invade a man's conscience which is more sacred than his castle, or to withhold from it that debt of protection, for which the public faith is pledged, by the very nature and original conditions of the social pact.

[highlight=#FFFF99]That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest.[/highlight] A magistrate issuing his warrants to a press gang, would be in his proper functions in Turkey or Indostan, under appellations proverbial of the most compleat despotism.

That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where arbitrary restrictions, exemptions, and monopolies deny to part of its citizens that free use of their faculties, and free choice of their occupations, which not only constitute their property in the general sense of the word; but are the means of acquiring property strictly so called. What must be the spirit of legislation where a manufacturer of linen cloth is forbidden to bury his own child in a linen shroud, in order to favour his neighbour who manufactures woolen cloth; where the manufacturer and wearer of woolen cloth are again forbidden the oeconomical use of buttons of that material, in favor of the manufacturer of buttons of other materials!

A just security to property is not afforded by that government, under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species: where arbitrary taxes invade the domestic sanctuaries of the rich, and excessive taxes grind the faces of the poor; where the keenness and competitions of want are deemed an insufficient spur to labor, and taxes are again applied, by an unfeeling policy, as another spur; in violation of that sacred property, which Heaven, in decreeing man to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, kindly reserved to him, in the small repose that could be spared from the supply of his necessities.

If there be a government then which prides itself in maintaining the inviolability of property; which provides that none shall be taken directly even for public use without indemnification to the owner, and yet directly violates the property which individuals have in their opinions, their religion, their persons, and their faculties; nay more, which indirectly violates their property, in their actual possessions, in the labor that acquires their daily subsistence, and in the hallowed remnant of time which ought to relieve their fatigues and soothe their cares, the influence [inference?] will have been anticipated, that such a government is not a pattern for the United States.

[highlight=#ffff99]If the United States mean to obtain or deserve the full praise due to wise and just governments, they will equally respect the rights of property, and the property in rights: they will rival the government that most sacredly guards the former; and by repelling its example in violating the latter, will make themselves a pattern to that and all other governments.[/highlight]

I see in your absence you have not found the brevity button on the computer. Good to see you again, comrade...

To sum up what my meager mind couldn't forge through in the above... His O'liness is great - everyone else, not so much. His stuff is not your stuff... your stuff is His stuff, get it!?!

Hi Tovarichi... A glass of Stoli raised in your honor. Salud! (Is there a "brevity" button? Isn't that by the "any" key? I have a Commodore 64 computer; the latest technology in my Kollektive enclave!) Brevity is indeed the soul of wit, but who among us would desire a soul? Pesky, troublesome things, impossible to reconcile with our Progressive Humanist Materialism.

My dear Captain Craptek (I am aghast - even in a "Prog Off" - that you would entertain an argument from some old racist regressivist white guy named James Madison; I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume (although we know what that does) that perhaps you've just imbibed a bit too liberally (not that there's anything wrong with that) of the adult beverages of an afternoon) and StimulusMaximus (I recall you from Pompeii - I like your new digs, by the way)... Please remember that our other class of takers is not interested in expansive grandiose rhetoric, or history, or the functioning of individual and societal human interactions throughout time and the philosophical implications of societies based on the rule of law... Or lawless societies. They just want stuff! And we choose what stuff they will get. That is why it would be so dangerous if anyone were to let them know they could rise up to get the stuff we get, by whatever means, for ourselves. Although for them to do this, they need another conditional element (or two) to insert into this equation, with a dependency on timing. But the Tearrorists won't figure it out, praise Gaia and DIM 0bama (APBUH), and so far, it saddens me to see that even with our advanced educations, my fellow Cubers have not recognized it (them) in its (their) simplicity and obviousness. Or perhaps we have... And we know better than to disseminate such ideas, even among ourselves. Ideas are truly dangerous things, Comrades! Unless they're ours, of course. Then they are the stuff of blessing, love, and amity for all.

Comrades have been asking about the picture of the original White House rally that was used to make the above illustration. Here it is. I like the new photoshopped slogans better.

Notice the lovely scripted poses choreographed in this photo Red Square shared of one of our finest examples of a Progressive Demonstration. Why some of those sheeple can be seen to be saying "FreeGuvMintCheese" at the photographer's behest! Reveling in the glories of Our World of Next Tuesday that's Here Today, reflecting on the indoctrination provided for our young starting in our Socialist State Creches, extending through all phases of sheeple life to do exactly our bidding, raised and nourished exclusively on Progressive KorrektThink, incapable of the merest quiver of thought in their tiny little brains >sniff< brings a tear to my jaundiced (but not ever racist!) eye. Do you see, Dear Comrades, that our sheeple could never even entertain a notion of going astray of our will? The Tearrorist Teabaggers could never hope to aspire to such unbridled, I would go so far as to say sublime, control over our plebe caste of takers. Just look to Ferguson - there is our Future!

So now it's: "Su casa, Mi casa?" Sounds muy bueno to me. Always muy bueno to flip things around a little just to keep the unwashed masses on their collective toes.

So good to hear from you again, Commissar! Killer post!

Su casa es mi casa, muy buena, Pamalinsky, venir a vivir con nosotros en la Casa Blanca! By the way, I never commented on how endearing it is that you've incorporated our dear Saul's name into your own - or perhaps his is ret conned; in Saul A's great wisdom, he may have wished to aspire to your greatness by taking a piece of your name while constructing a framework for his radicals to steal the hope from our generation and destroy our liberty brilliantly expositing Community Agitation Organization - but he could not take your loveliness.

Keep the unwashed masses on their toes through ever more degraded and perverse loving and beneficial means of control Hope'n'Change™, si, and we certainly won't allow them to upset our balance with such upstart ideas as I trepidatiously suggested here. (Someone had to; know your enemy so you can crush him like the insignificant insect he is, that's my motto du jour.)

So happy to see your smiling visage, my dear Pamalinsky! Join me for a carafe of beet vodka. I've pilfered Tovarichi's stash Tovarichi has kindly volunteered his month's ration and we mustn't let it go to waste!

Oh, Commissar, my Commissar! You are very much the "silver tongued" one, aren't you? I must confess to a little giggle (just like Nanski Peloski emitted while encouraging all of us to "Embrace the Suck." (you can google it)

While I know your flattery was heartfelt and sincere (hence, the little giggle), I did want to mention something my mother said to me when I was reading The Naked Rise of Communism, as a college student. She was absolutely horrified and screamed, "I don't want my daughter to become a Communist!"

All I wanted to do by reading it was learn who the enemy my friends were so I could squash them like a bug help them in their quest to take over everything, should I ever encounter them. [highlight=#ffff00](Someone had to; know your enemy so you can crush him like the insignificant insect he is, that's my motto du jour.) [/highlight]

I did explain this to her but, she would have none of it.

She later became a Mother Jones subscriber and felt herself very informed about all things political because she was glued to the MSM.

Oh, and, Uncle Saul says, "Hi!"

Hmmm Pamalinsky… Only silver. I have some distance to go to achieve platinum, then. You are indeed a lady of Proggish refinement.

I once rooted up beets with a gentleman who had a mini-purse (he called it a “tote”) that was embroidered with that expression. When I asked him what it meant, he twaddled something to the effect of “if something's bad, just embrace it.” I exclaimed “Ah da! If something's annoying me, I embrace it until I squeeze the life out of it! Like making Leninade! I like it!” He timidly grimaced and sulked away. But your correlation of the expression and Nanski puts it in glorious Technicolor Prog perspective. Thank you for enlightening me. However, Nanski titters quite imbecilically, and that annoying abomination should not even be mentioned on the same page with your dulcet bell-like giggles, dear Pamalinsky, even though Nanski is one of the patron saints of Progdom. Here, have another glass of beet vodka.

Also, it is good to know that your immediate female (that is not sexist when we Progs say it) progenitor is a blessed member of those who now know that our State-run media is the only purveyor of Progtruth and any other source of indoctrination (aside from State-controlled skools) is to be shunned. Your rise in Progdom, while not assignable to progenitors unemployed by Progdom, was surely not hampered by your association with her, in spite of your admission that at one time, she disapproved of the concepts of our Blessed Manifestation of Marxist Sacramental (no, that's not the Californicate one) Truth.

Now, as we were saying - Yes, dear Pamalinsky, I have been conducting thought experiments into enemy territory, guided by Uncle Saul's wisdom. Heretofore, the Tearrorist Teabaggers have been curiously averse to employing his methods that are so successfully utilized by us, but prudence (and Abigail) demand that we examine what may occur should (inconceivable as it is, I grant you) our own table be turned against us. It is frighteningly and excruciatingly nauseating to throw myself with such reckless abandon into the utilization of our own methods against us, but I am in no danger of requiring a Jiffy-Lobo™ at this time. However, Krasnodar is selflessly (I might even say anxiously) standing by should administration of the technique prove to be required.

With sweat, tears, and torment, I will be birthing for our Cubemates a possible enemy-initiated scenario of such monstrous magnitude, such unprecedented horror, such potential for utter destruction of our destructive capacity, that we may all find it necessary to denounce ourselves before even clicking the link to read the forthcoming essay on what might happen if our techniques of evil should be turned against us for good.

For as we all know, we who are the Prog Cognoscenti are completely evil for the greatest good. And properly darn proud about it, I might add. Remember to whom dear Uncle Saul dedicated the first edition of "Rules for Radicals"...

[img]images/clipart/Prog_Off.gif[/img] Ya know, Captain Crap, after reading your post and passing it by because I didn't know what to say, I can now say how grateful I am that you posted this James Madison thing. It is so beautiful it makes my heart sing. I love it and am dedicated to this substantive and beautifully-crafted idea.

Thank you for reminding all of us of this beauty!
Ah! A breath of fresh air!

PROPERTY = ME (and US)
