A wise man taught me that there can be no rape in a system that preaches, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”.
Under this doctrine if someone
requires sexual gratification and another can provide it, they must. There is no ethical barrier to prevent the
needy one from helping himself to that which placates his cravings. Need justifies taking.
Lest you think that this is hyperbole,
check out this recent story from Japan about sex slavery
during World War II. As many as 200,000 women were forced to
provide sexual favors to Japanese soldiers. Similarly, over 34,000 European
women were forced
into prostitution by Nazi Germany.
In our own day, there is compelling
evidence that the young girls kidnapped by the aspiring Boko
Haram caliphate will
be sold
into sex slavery.
The story is a little different in
China. Because of their one child policy,
women are forcibly
violated by the abortionist. The
Chinese government reports that over 335 million children have been aborted
between 1980 when the policy was instituted and March 2013 when they released
the count. If you are pro-life, this is genocide
of unimaginable proportions. If you are
pro-choice, where is the choice?
Like many an ill conceived
collectivist scheme, the One Child Policy has engendered unforeseen
consequences. Among them is the shortage
of young people to provide for aging parents and grandparents. This is called the 4-2-1 problem (4
grandparents, 2 parents, 1 child to care for them).
The other Chinese problem is “Gendercide”. Couples who can have only one child often
desire a male. This leads to the abandonment,
abortion and even murder of girls. According
to humantrafficking.org,
“the shortage of
marriageable women has fueled the demand for the trafficking of women for
forced marriages.” As it does so often, collectivism leads to
female abuse.
Collectivism is any governmentally coercive
system that places the claims of society above the rights of the
individual. It goes by many names
including socialism, communism, fascism, nationalism and tribalism. Of course the needs and “claims of society”
are determined by a small cadre of ruling elites. Collectivism is always about the rule of man
as opposed to the rule of principle or law.
Self ownership is a foundational principle
of American ordered liberty. Self
ownership is anathema to statists who consider individuals to be nothing more
than cogs in the machine, grist in the mill.
Although collectivism in the U.S. has
not yet reached the brutal excesses of the aforementioned dictatorships, it is
slowly creeping up on us. We have
drifted far from our founding principles.
Tax Freedom Day
is that day when the average American ceases to work to pay taxes and begins to
work for the benefit of himself and his household. At the beginning of the last
century that day fell on January 22 or about 6% into the year. In 2014, that date has moved back to April 13
or 29% of the year. That tells us that
Americans are compelled, enslaved if you will, to work 3.5 months per year to
provide their government with money to transfer to favored clientele. Still, the State is growing ever bolder as it
tries using legislation to nullify religious freedom via the HHS Mandate.
Of greater concern is the way that
American elites use the subtle theft of monetary expansion to finance wars. The advent of the Federal Reserve, over a
century ago, has empowered our leaders wage endless wars from 1914 onward
killing millions worldwide.
The State always tends towards
collectivism and to aggregate more power to itself. It will extort resources from the disenfranchised
many for the benefit of favored few. If
you not numbered among the State’s elect, rest assured that you will be screwed
financially, sexually or, perhaps, for good.
