It has always been a tenet of Marxism that the Ends justify the Means...that the greater good is always served by force. This has a familiar ring to many people because of what occured prior to coming into this world; a kind of deja vu. Any kind of End, or goal, or utopia must be deserving on merits alone. If it is a true goal, or of a truth, then there is only one way to reach that truth, and that is to follow the path of truth. You cannot reach truth by following a lie. A lie only leads you away from the truth; therefore, you may define the truth by the opposite, or opposition. For instance, you can only find heat, if you follow heat, like moving towards the sun. If you follow cold, it will lead you to cold; but by reaching the cold you will only know that you have not reached the heat. Once you reach the cold you will have gone to the far reaches of our solar system, and you will need to go backwards to find the heat. No matter how long you follow the cold, you cannot reach heat by following the cold. In this way you cannot reach your End. If the Means are true, then it will lead to a true End. They are inseparable because, the adage, "all roads lead to heaven", like "all roads lead to Rome" was never true. It was the vanity of men that they overlooked the truth.
And so it is today. Many governments, political movements, etc. seem to be bent on populist agendas that seem to ebb and flow, but never reach a knowledge of the truth. Isaiah prophesied that Babylon would rise and be a great nation and would scatter Israel to the four corners of the earth. But, where is Babylon's greatness today? Where is the greatness of Egypt? of Rome? It has gone the way of all the earth, because the End did not justify the Means and the Means were not true, because the End was not true. Israel is returning as Isaiah prophesied; that is the truth.
Karl Marx could not have known what the End would be, because he could not follow truth; he was an amoral relativist, bent on authoritarian force to make people follow his manifesto; the collective, over the individual.
Individual freedom has been given to us by our creator and cannot be taken away, only given up by each individual for a path of personal non-accountability. This hearkens back to an earlier crossroads that we met, in an earlier time, in the Grand Councils, where we had the opportuntity to leave our first estate and progress to our second estate....but just as true as this existence is, this is Just an Observation! You still have to choose for yourself.....

Yeah I read this interesting article about Carrying Capacity-how people believe we shouldn't give too much charity to poor countries becuase they will overpopulate the land and cause natural disasters-basically the idea was Humans ruin the environment so there should be less-kind of a sad point of view. Its interesting the understanding you get when you realize that God knows whats going on and we don't have to worry-just gotta do what you can.
This is kind of random-but did you know we spend more than double on transfer payments-$1738(Social securtiy, medicare, medicaid) than we do on regular government expenditures-$837(Infrastructure, National Defense)? Can you say socialism?
