Communism is merely an abortive ideology that relies on the envy and jealousy of others who will forgive the false logic, and nebulous definitions have been used to baffle people. Even those intellectuals are frequently “inclined to put the blame for finding the [material] hard entirely on [themselves]” (Cohen 2013).
Poverty is not the cause of communism. Communism results because of the
combination of envy and greed that derives with a few people who perceive the success of
others and want it. They do not care that they have far more than their parents, or their
grandparents, or even royalty many centuries ago; it is discontent intellectuals who seek
more than those they see who have more than them. For this, some literati deceptively
promote communism and tell us how it will cure inequity and bring equality. Yet they fail
to mention that it is equality of outcome. People are not a Tableau Rossa, people are not
equal in ability, we are not equal in integrity, and we are not equal in intelligence.
To merely say that we are is to demonstrate one’s falsehood for nobody could genuinely
believe this if honestly expounded. Cohen develops Frankfurt's philosophy to demonstrate that bullshit must fulfil a set of requirements. To be bullshit it must be (a) unclarifiably unclear, (b) rubbish, or irretrievably speculative. From Lenin’s (1939) reworking of the term imperialism up until contemporary issues with the woke culture, we see the introduction of Orwellian
doublespeak (Orwell 1971) in the continuous defence of a system that has no solution other than blame and envy. Communism has failed in that it does not provide any economic
guidance, and it is in all ways, bullshit.
It is a system of hubris that is embraced by ignorant
technocrats and unsuccessful literati who imagine that they are smart enough to embrace
and apprehend the entirety of inputs and outputs that arise within a market economy. Yet,
no socialist regime has ever successfully simulated even one insignificant facet of an
economy. Nations try continuously failed experiments and merely blame other individuals
and other countries for their failure. One hundred years ago, we saw the literati propping up the falsehoods and bullshit that was propagated by mass murderers including Stalin, Lenin and Mao as they argued for the benefits of a centrally planned economy. We see the same classes of envy propelled people attempting to teach failed Marxist dogma today.
The Communist world is dreary. When you seek equality of outcome, and you take
away the rights of one person to own what they produce by deciding what happens with
what another person manufactures: the productive stop creating. When you limit Society to
equality of outcome, as communism seeks to achieve, you never achieve greatness. What is
established as a substitute is a society established by the efforts of the lowest common
denominator; a system that is limited to the lowest and the basest of humanity. Communism
is a system with controlled art, a system where nobody can compete, for if they do, they
may win. But if they win, it is all taken away from them.
To succeed within communism is
to lose. To be successful in communism is to be mediocre. To be an inadequate,manipulative, violent and oppressive leader is the means to control. Communism is asystem of envy, and it is jealous of the one thing it can ever be, successful.
