Baby Gro Socialism



"In the long run, we're all dead."- John Maynard-Keynes, the Fabian princeling who advocated that massive public spending was the way out of recession, again adopted by the Left, advocated that it was perfectly acceptable to lumber future unborn generations with debt. In the long run we're all dead is the economic equivalent of 'eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die'.

Economic responsibility is not 'groovy' to those who who have never had to accept any. Two of these baby gro socialists are pictured above Adam Ramsey who describes himself as as a 'greeny lefty' (not an anarchist then ?) who was 'innocently' caught occupying Fortnum & Masons on saturday (please add your own comments). Miliband ( I am Mandela,I am Pankhurst etc) comes from the same sort of background of shrewd tax moves.

These two are duping 'the workers' that they are the 'natural born ' leaders of the revolution. While they advocate that we should all pay more tax, they are the beneficieries of some pretty deft tax planning.

Not too hypocritical then ?

 Walter Mischel, an American psychologist, carried out a series of experiments forty years ago on deferred gratification on a group of four year olds, he found that those children who had to ' have it all now', carried this on into adult life. Socialism not only creates dependency it also creates a dangerous infantile population, who at the first sign of not getting want they want, start throwing  violent tantrums and smashing things.

That is what we witnessed on Saturday. Infants being told the party was over.

Didn't Keynes only recommend investment when things were bad? Now you can disagree with that but from memory he also argued that when things were good you should rein in public expenditure and store up reserves in case of a downturn. Which you can also disagree with from a social democratic or classical liberal perspective. According to Hayek, Keynes was having doubts about some of his theory later in life anyway so the idea that he was someone who wanted to see people in lots of debt is probably a bit of a fallacy.
