You can’t help but ask: Did you ever once think while you were committing mindless genocide, that you were on the wrong side of the issue? That would be a question for the German soldier wielding a machine gun in a concentration camp or a 20 mm cannon inside a Panzer tank. Did you ever consider that you were wrong to invade neighboring countries for the purpose of conquest? Did you ever suspect you were on the wrong side of the decision to execute helpless human beings — women, children, the elderly — in death camps? To be sure, tribal wars, regional wars and world wars spawn unspeakable atrocities. Mankind is always quick to condemn. After the fact, naturally. But to what end? Some ringleaders suffered execution. Some prison. But the vast majority — military and civilian alike — escaped the most basic judgment. The lines of responsibility dissolved. More like shared blame. Shared blame that amounted to no blame. In WWII, England’s Neville Chamberlain and other respected leaders accepted no responsibility for cozying up to Hitler to earn his good will. With one of Europe’s largest, most well equipped armies in the 30’s, French leadership caved and not only cozied up but also aided and abetted the Nazi Third Reich. It was left to the courageous French Underground Resistance to defend French Sovereignty. Other European nations chose up sides. The Kingdom of Italy, once the crucible of The Renaissance, allowed itself to be mesmerized by a psychopath. You can’t help but ask: Did you ever once think that you were on the wrong side of the issue? That would be a question for Mama Mia’s boys from Pescara to Palermo. For that matter, you could put similar questions to the Austrians, the Spanish, the Yugoslavs and Bulgarians. You might also ask the question of the “neutral” countries, which rather than choose sides, decided to bravely stand down while other nations shed their precious blood. One of those nations, America, buried its sacrificial dead in foreign lands and at home. By the tens of thousands. In short order, however, the evil Capitalist system went to work. Billions in U.S. foreign aid helped her enemies and allies with massive reconstruction. Unfortunately, nothing was spent on renovating the flawed political systems. Consider that before and during WWII, the European countries, including England, were ruled by some form of dictatorship, and some sort of parliamentary system they proudly (and euphemistically) called Democratic Socialism. Despite its parliamentary political theater and democratic facade, England was and still is steeped in the aristocracy of the privileged class. Old money. Vast holdings. Kings and queens and royal genes. Ditto for most of the rest of the Continent that likes to tout the outward trappings of “freedom and equality.” Keep the streets clean and orderly. Proudly showcase speedy public rail transport and universal healthcare. Be virtuous to proclaim civic equality, most visible in the socialistic concept of uniformity. Apparently, following the war to end all wars, no one bothered to ask the question: Do you think there just might be a connection to authoritarian systems of government and mass murder? Do you think? Pick your favorite example of totalitarian poison — Communism, Socialism, Monarchy. You have lots to choose from, meaning most of the countries on earth. All have one thing in common — scorn for the concept of the Sovereign Individual — the cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution. In 2020, no less than 51 dictators (all male) rule the roost. About a dozen European countries still have royal families and practice “Democratic Socialism.” Maybe you need a definition of that term, Matilda. DS is an economy where production and wealth are collectively owned, but the country has a “democratic system” of government. Ownership of private property is limited. The government regulates the economy. Translation: DS is a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy. The last thing the ruling families of Europe want is a free, kick-ass economy where some uneducated slob becomes a millionaire. Or worse, where some uneducated slob thinks he’s as independent and godlike as the Queen Mother herself. Don’t kid yourself. America has a ruling class that is no different than the Kremlin tsars. Socialism is their highway to ultimate power. The people they rely on to travel with them down that highway are minorities of all kinds, shapes and genders, as well as young mush brains. Yes, you guessed it. These are the clueless people the ruling class detests and that socialism continues to suppress and squash through generational dependency. But don’t take anyone’s word for that indictment. Hey, Joe, pick up a copy of History 101. See where 100 million bodies are buried. Check out the countries. And the governmental systems. Put two and two together. Did you ever once think while you were sequestered in that basement that you were on the wrong side of the issue? Silly question.
