IDEALISTIC
SOCIALISM
CONSPIRACIES
Some
say I’m paranoid and deluded, that I play fast and loose with facts in an
anti-social way. I am cynical. I
don’t trust power
My suspicions of others’ motives often extend to imagining a few evil
individuals with a hidden agenda conspiring to infiltrate institutions,
manipulate events and shape outcomes to their liking. (Note: While some
involved with conspiracy theories are in it for entertainment, others are
“culture warriors” unethically pushing their values, beliefs, and
practices. While occasionally a conspiracy is real—the
typical internet spread conspiracy is mostly fiction.)
I'm
idealistic—some
say deluded. I
can imagine…somewhere… ethical, honest, altruistic people conspiring to
infiltrate key institutions, manipulate events and shape outcomes to their
liking. They
believe in a centrally planned economic system in which, the state controls all
means of production, and this, and distribution, are designed to satisfy human
needs. Common good, not private profit / accumulation of wealth, is valued!
If true, I would not find this conspiracy all that disturbing! (Note:
Some socialists value democracy; some are authoritarians; some are communists
who want all property held in common)
