Conservatism is about creating a Plutonomy - an economy driven by the rich and which serves only them. It is about forging a world in which Les Miserablesis to be looked upon as not going far enough.
The Conservative dream world is one in which the poor are left to starve, quietly, and if they protest, they are to be put down, violently. The Conservative world is one in which those left who toil for the rich, are serfs in a revived feudal society.
Question for you, folks, what do you have when every plot of land is privately owned and governed? That’s called Feudalism! What do you think privatization is all about? The private ownership and administration of all public lands and services: privately owned and governed. Want to see a clear example of private ownership and government? Check out ANY homeowner’s association or charter school. It ain’t a pretty picture. In some homeowner’s associations you can’t even fly the American flag, and charter schools discriminate against students with disabilities. Now think of an America where this goes on. everywhere. Want another example? Think of toll roads. Now, think of EVERY road being a toll road. That’s feudalism, and it is being revived as we speak. By Conservatives - Conservative Republicans and even a few Conservative politicians who label themselves Democrats (see: Blue Dog Democrats). You might have also heard of the term Corporate State. Also known as Fascism. That is what Conservatives want.
The next time you see a debate about taxes, privatization of public services or lands, international trade policies, welfare “reform”, or educational policy changes, ask yourself this:
1) Does it mean higher costs for you?
2) Does it mean less services for you?
3) Does it mean less jobs? Does it mean employers can screw you over even more? Does it mean more acts of discrimination are allowed?
4) Does it mean poor people will have less to live on?
5) Does it mean closing schools or excluding groups of people from said schools?
6) Does it mean closing down a factory and sending those jobs overseas?
On any given issue, whatever solution leads to a “yes” answer to the above, is what Conservatives will fight for. It’s just that simple. If you are not rich, the Conservatives want you quietly dead, or as a serf.
Believe it. It is the truth.
This sums up nicely what I've been trying to put into words for a while. Next thing you need to delve into is Libertarians and their ties to the absolute WORST of governments on this globe... How extreme conservatism is directly related to a horrible world.
