Socialism: opiate of the masses

Since any brand of rhetoric is designed to end up in the same place -- global control -- you're going to pick the more attractive-sounding version.

It's simply a matter of workability and expedience.

That's why the lingo of Leftist socialism has come to the fore.

That's the only reason.

If a Rockefeller operative could use, to good effect, tales of enemies invading Earth from a parallel universe, he would.

In 1928, the historian Oswald Spengler wrote: "There is no proletarian, not even a Communist movement, that has not operated in the interests of money, and for the time being permitted by money -- and that [operation has continued] without the idealists among its leaders having the slightest suspicion of the fact."

Is there a college anywhere in the world that acknowledges and teaches this? The insight is not permitted. It would torpedo too many platitudes and reveal too many false trails laid down by elite deceivers.

David Rockefeller, writing his 2003 Memoirs, baldly asserted: "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

Of course, Rockefeller stopped short of saying he and his colleagues, in the core of the CFR and the Trilateral Commission, were using socialism and high-flying utopian rhetoric merely to enlist the Left in his "one-world" cause. He never admitted the notions of "social justice" and "equality" were being peddled to the gullible masses for the same reason.

If he had come clean, victims (both real and self-imagined) would understand they were fighting against the very oppressors who were backing, funding, encouraging, and controlling them.

The sought-after global triumph of socialism is a cover for elite global management and tyranny.

"Thanks for your help. Now that we've won, you're under the gun. Our gun."

Flashing forward to today, one can see this sales job operating in boardrooms of the tech giants (Google, Facebook, etc.) The corporate leaders (the new Rockefellers and Carnegies) claim they're proponents of "digital socialism," which they ludicrously define as open access to the wonders of the Internet for all people everywhere, including the poor and bereft. But the last time I looked, those people can't eat a YouTube video for a breakfast they can't afford.

This nonsensical fluff hides the same core buried in old-time socialism: the leaders at the top, who have made their mega-fortunes, want to turn around and eliminate competition. Share and care doesn't apply to the marketplace. The tech CEOs want to collude with government to gain special favors and benefits their lesser rivals can't obtain.

"We love everyone and care about everyone, but don't challenge us. We're the bosses. We own the game."

The tech giants want much more. They intend to lead the way, with their government partners, into an even tighter control of information (censorship) and a more vast Surveillance State.
