Ayn Rand: The Real Motive for the Socialist Mindset

My current thinking:
It is rather simple but we have a hard time seeing it.  If a society, decides that they will redistribute wealth by violence directed by special verbalizations, then you know that they are trying to gain possession of a means of productivity.  This is to enslave a process and quite often to eat the seed corn.  (Seed Corn = Differed Consumption, or Capital).

Rather than nurturing the means of production, they wish to consume the means of production not just the production.

By subordinating social subsections to a stone age intelligence, they strangle the means of production which are forms of productive intelligence.  It is sort of an embezzlement process.

And we a hypnotized into believing that the verbal and violent, are the justified rulers.  (They do tell us so).

I guess I will leave it there except to say that it is curious how well royal thinking goes with a socialist embezzlement process.  Both see productivity and want to have the right to appropriate it for their empowerment with words and directed violence.  Communication is required to bring technological means into existence, but the non-technological people will seize the means of production without reasonable payment.  They wish to use words and directed violence as a sort of credit card that they never have to pay off, as if they can kill and imprison those who complain, then they do not have to pay.

But then then kills off the technical skills, and replaces it with more of the non-technical genome and memes.  Some people emerge from the stone age as there is not socialist method to enslave them and nature has selected them to have technical skills.  They build and advancement beyond the stone age and wealth is produced.  Then the verbal and violent try to seize that wealth, and ultimately have to kill off the technical skills so that they can possess what they regard with a jealous awareness.

And this may be why the Democrats have been rejected for the moment, as their party is about satisfying would be royal people by using socialist verbal and violent means to seize wealth.   The democrat party used to be in part about the working class, but it is no longer so.
