This already happened in every democracy in the world.


But what kind of government prevents the parasites from voting theives into office yet simultanously ensures the right to private property and wealth?

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.  H L Mencken.

In other words, once the common herd discovers they can vote themselves other people's money the jig is up.  The economy will be destroyed as parasitical classes suck off the teat of those who work and produce real value.

Eventually the producers stop working, close their factories or businesses, or exit the area - leaving the parasites to wither on the vine.

The shear number of parasites eventually destroy the host.  Detroit, USA is a prime example of this process.

You will see this Detroit phenomena  happening to Chicago and a host of other US cities as democracy is used by voters to get themselves more and more of other peoples money.  Politicians go along with this because they get re-elected by promising other peoples money be redistributed to voters who did not earn it.  This drives the economy into the toilet in a great swirling rush you can hear loud and clear today.

Hence, democracy destroys itself from within.  Alas, such is human nature that democracy is not the answer - rather, the right to private property and wealth is the only way to create prosperity.

People will not learn this lesson even though it has been repeated countless times throughout history.  The only way to stop it is to have a money that cannot be taken by coercion - if this can be done, you will see great prosperity arise throughout the world.

This wasn't the only forum that I visit that just lit on fire about what the LEOs were doing in Boston. It makes you realize that we could easily join the poor German citizens of the 1930s and be fucked out of control before we know it.

Wow, @ this post

Take a look at the photos in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/police-state-181212

LEOs is short for Law Enforcement Officers

Can someone educate me about this please? I have been living under a rock for some time.
What boston bombing, who is the LEO, and what happened with jackbooted thugs marching into peoples home

The is why the MSM labels the Tea Party as a bunch of ignorant rasist hicks. When in fact it is the complete opposite and represents a true awakening of the people.

It's reached the point that the government is sponsoring studies to shift public perception of the movement. Last year the government gave $400,000 to a Yale professor to "conducted a cross-analysis of intelligence and political affiliation, expecting to find that people who identified with the tea party knew less about science than the average person."

The professor did the study expecting Tea Party members would score worse. Instead he found the opposite and that “Identifying with the Tea Party correlates positively … with scores on the science comprehension measure.” This shows that: 1) The MSM/Gov is actively trying to discredit the movement 2) The MSM/Gov have successfully brainwashed people to discredit the Tea Party and create bigoted impressions of the people in the movement (in this case a Yale professor) and 3) These stereotypes are not based in reality.

IMHO this was the most scary thing in all of 2013. Not the "suspension" of constititional rights but people's acceptance of it. It shows how far the independent mindset in the US has fallen.

Take precautions.

You have free speech, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but probably only anonymously on the internet.

The difference is that the USA had been less corrupt at some point and is getting worse.
I would actually say china is getting better, its still corrupt as hell but it was worse in the past.

No you can't, it has already been revealed that the NSA targets people who spread controversial political ideologies and people that are against USA waging wars abroad etc. What I like about China, Russia and other countries is that they are corrupt but they don't deny it, they don't brainwash their people to believe that they are freedom fighters and so on, no one even bother to hide just how corrupt they are, they are bad liars.

You can point at the piece of paper as often as you like, you will end up in Guantanamo or in a black bag in a deep grave as soon as you begin to make a difference.

Just because both china and the USA violate human rights and even their own laws at the whims of the tyrants doesn't mean that the scale of the violations are the same.
Also, the ability to complain about and fight against these violations without being tossed in a gulag is important.

That being said, I don't delude myself into thinking the USA is truly a "land of the free". its the "land of the slightly less enslaved"

At least in the USA a citizen can name what amendment is under attack. A judge can do the same. Slavery was codified then broken.
In no way it means racism is gone in the USA, freedom are not under attack in the USA, inequalities etc. But at least you can see it, read it and do whatever it takes to fight for what you believe should be "right", no matter your political spectrum in the USA.
Now can you name me what Chinese constitutional amendments are under attack right now?

My point exactly. We should be happy tyranny is allergic to bitcoin, not sad.

Wilikon you are absolutely correct that china is not a democratic country. Chinese leaders have imprisoned their civilians where many restriction has been imposed upon them. I feel sorrow for the slave labor of china who are deprived from their basic rights including usage of bitcoin, google and many other things

If China isn't a democracy then what is? The U.S.? Because of course we know that there are absolutely NO people in the U.S. that are paid to spy on their own citizens, and never for monetary gain! Pftt...

They don't have to take your guns away before they take away your rights. They have been slowly eroding away your rights for years without civil war. People are even voting for it and agreeing with the change.  Governments have two powerful weapons they can use against you, fear and God, neither of which require bloodshed to force crippling destruction of civil rights.

Evil actors are drawn to government service and law enforcement like a moth to a flame. The very act of wanting to be in control over others probably means they shouldn't be. These evil actors band together to extend their power at the expense of your liberty. They have currently expanded their power so much that this country is a shell of its former self. I'm embarrassed to be a citizen of this country.

China's government suffers from the same problem. Evil actors do everything and anything to remain in power. I don't see the difference between the two countries and their reaction to Bitcoin has been pretty close. They let the people play with it but keep it from being really useful to the people. China has the largest standing army in the world that is used most often to control their own people. The two largest military budgets in the world are the US and China. The similarities of control are very close. The only difference is the style of how they control and that's based on culture.

Oh, you meant the sandy hook thing... has it really only been a few months? time perception is odd like that

The sweeping "Common Sense" gun control bills introduced to keep you safe from your guns...

Pretty much after the Sandy Hook massacre the Gun Control crowd tried to push for crazy laws that restrict, delay, and weaken the 2nd Amendment. They would have done nothing to slow crime, or prevent violence, but would've made criminals out of a lot of regular people who hold tightly to that which they believe in; the natural right to self defense and preservation of life and liberty. Laws were passed in a few States but Federally the proposals were overwhelmingly defeated. The one thing they didn't see coming was that logic is apparently contagious and people still possess the powers to reason. It was crazy, I bet you can find articles about it online. I actually thought there might be a second civil war with the way some people were talking. Texas threatened cessation from the union, it was just a big mess...

Colorado for instance recalled two of the State legislators who voted against their wishes in enacting some of the regulations, and one of the States' Senators resigned under the threat of being recalled.

I can't believe anybody living in this country didn't notice the change in the political atmosphere in early 2013 because of the way it fumigated to regular people. lol

I didn't get out much and I think I might have missed that whole case. What happened a few months ago?
