Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Yes indeed.
And classic examples of this form of collectivist activist are the Mayors of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago (the three largest cities in the United States) as they believe that production is not necessary – only “distribution” and what is left of productive activity is leaving these cities, this will turn out very badly for the people of these places
The principle that things come into this world already owned, was also alien to the “Christian Socialist” John Rawls, author of “A Theory of Justice” (a book that is NOT about justice – i.e. not about to each their own), who believed that income and wealth should be “distributed” by some public power.
A couple of other examples are the socialist candidate for President of Peru, who has just lost the election – this is a person who clearly believes that producing goods and services is not necessary (or does not understand the concept of producing goods and services) and that what is needed is “distribution” – including paying everyone an income whether they work or not.
The Communist candidate for President of Colombia (who will, hopefully, loose the election on Sunday) is of like mind – he used to live in Bulgaria when it was under Marxist rule (he also lived in Marxist Cuba and in Prague during Marxist times) and his criticism of Soviet Marxism is that it was “authoritarian” in making people work – in his view people should receive according to their needs regardless of whether they work according to their abilities.
Basically all these people, the Mayors of the three largest American cities – and the leftist candidates for President in Peru, Colombia and so on – have gone beyond the “socialist stage” which still included work, they want the “communist final stage” where people receive according to their needs – and work no longer really exists.
As Dr Marx put it in “The German Ideology” (1845) people will be able to “hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon and be critical after dinner – without ever being a hunter, a fisherman, or a critic – for society will organize production”.
What does “society will organize production” mean? Dr Marx said that was an “unscientific question” and refused to answer it.
Do not laugh – as (for them) New York City is a place of millions of human beings and I do not believe that the experiment of driving out what is left of production, is going to go well for them.
The leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Mr Hakeem Jeffries (who the media and the education system wish to be Speaker of the House of Representatives) endorsed Mr Mamdani for Mayor of New York City – which he now is, it is not a joke – it has happened.
Karen Bass, a Castro supporting lunatic, is Mayor of Los Angeles – with the full support of the Democratic Party.
This insanity is mainstream.
And the only thing standing between the left and total (absolute) power in the United States – is an 80 year old man.
Paul:
Do not forget that the Democratic crime gang in Los Angeles have blatantly rigged the election to exclude Spencer Pratt. The choice facing Angelinos for mayor is between two deranged leftist “women of color”. No Republicans need apply.
If nothing is done about this, and I do not have much hope it will be, LA is doomed, California is doomed, and then the USA is… well, you get the picture.
