Nationalized Prostitution

I bring topics such as this up because they impact your business whether you want to think that they do or not. If you are a subscriber to the “Working Smarter” newsletter you know that I am currently reading “The Naked Communist” by Cleon Skousen. In this book he reviews in depth the principles of communism and debunks the principles, showing why they just don’t work to create a productive and functional society. I’ve never really had a complete and clear knowledge about communism, or capitalism for that matter until I’ve begun reading this book. I always just thought that capitalism was that you like to make money and have a good life and communism was the idea that everything you did was for, and went to the government and you got crumbs from them. It goes much deeper than that.

The communist way first of all basically says that what communism wants, communism gets, not matter the cost. The ends justify the means. If that means killing you or your family for rising against the machine, so be it, as long as it benefits the greater good. Its interesting to note that the ideas of the communists, such as Marx, came about from people that were basically “have not’s”. At least that’s what i’m seeing from this book. So it goes to the old saying of “misery loves company”. If i can’t have it, why can you. But the hypocrisy involved is so apparent. It goes from the private citizen “exploiting” another private citizen to get gain to the State “exploiting” all citizens for its gain.

But you’ll notice that it doesn’t start out with the big things. It starts out small. You’ll read my previous post about being “a nation of frogs” and get the gist. It starts out by calling on all those that are supposedly “less fortunate” and playing on one of their wants or desires. We see it now with health care. Now the government is seeking financial reform to stop investment banks and limiting the size of banks to something like $100,000,000. Where does that stop. IF its risky for you to invest your money in the stock market, and the government is trying to “protect” you from the risk, then what about your own personal business? Isn’t it risky to invest or reinvest in your own business? What if you lose your money? Then what will you ever do? You can never get that back, its just gone. So then we see that you won’t even have the right to run your own business because the “government knows better”.

It doesn’t seem like it could be possible but it is, and if we’re not careful it will happen. If you read this book you’ll see on page 72 that they even applied the principles that everything needed to go to the collective good, to their women. They felt that men were keeping women and “private property” and private property is not allowed in communism. So, women between the ages of 17 and 32 had to go and register with the government and make their “services” available to any man who had paid his due to the workers union, or if they weren’t a member of the workers union they could just pay a fee for the services. Nationalized Prostitution. What a novel ideal.

So, please be aware of how the politics in our great nation can affect you, your business and your family. Don’t sit back and take these things lightly. We all are in this together and we need to stand up for what is right and what keeps us free. We don’t need the government to take care of us. We are big boys and girls and can make our own decisions, wether right or wrong and we can continue to build this Country as the greatest on the planet. No apologies are needed for the past, we just need to move on and do what we know to be right.
