Collectivism every school year hammered home

I posted a comment to this article, though I didn't see it show up. Problems with their php I think. Therefore I thought I would go ahead and post a teaser here. The schools teach more and more collectivism every day, and are much more overt about it now. The day will come where they are not only overt, but that push to pass laws to block individualism, such as anti-homeschooling legislation, and more.


The Baltimore Reporter: "Each year as the school year gets underway, I write a column about the mandatory communalism that takes place in numerous schools across the country where unsuspecting students and parents are forced to surrender their supplies to educational authorities, deemed by the state to be of superior enlightenment than those actually acquiring the school supplies, for redistribution as these demagogic pedagogues see fit.

Religious Terrorism vs. Free Speech by Leonard Peikoff -- Capitalism Magazine

This essay was written in 1997 by Leonard Peikoff, founder of the Ayn Rand Institute --
originally published as an advertisement in the New York Times. The same essential issues underlie the Rushdie debacle and the current uproar over cartoons of Mohammad.


Religious Terrorism vs. Free Speech by Leonard Peikoff -- Capitalism Magazine: "The ultimate target of the Ayatollah, as of all mystics, is not a particular 'blasphemy,' but reason itself, along with its cultural and political expressions: science, the Industrial Revolution, the American Revolution. If the assault succeeds, the result will be an Age of Unreason -- a new Dark Ages.

Is radical Islam fascist, collectivist or both

This article steps quickly through a 4 point argument that shows how mussolini and hitler's socialism was 'spun' as right wing when Russia was invaded. Russia, also being communist, had to label his attackers thus, even though they were all imperialistic socialists. None valued the individual, just as today's Islamic jihad scorns any individualism that isn't used to further the collectivist "brotherhood".


Family Security Matters: "More particularly, all of these isms are pseudo-religious scams of the Heaven-on-Earth variety -- organized and sustained in keeping with Vladimir Lenin's cynical postulation that 'We will find our greatest success to the extent that we inculcate Marxism as a kind of religion. Religious men and women are easy to convert and win, and will easily accept our thinking if we wrap it up in a kind of religious terminology.'

It is in this spirit of spin, scam and deceit that the fascist-Left Communists created the so-called 'Liberation Theology' heresy, condemned as such by the late great Pope John Paul ll in the 1970s and 80s. "
