Common Sense Topic:
America: The Leninist
State
“Those who vote
decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.”
Josef Stalin, Russian
Dictator
I came across this quote in a video I found called America:
Freedom to Fascism. The late Arron Russo directed this. Found that there is no
actual law mandating us to pay income tax. He asked former and retired agents
and the said no. The active agents refused to talk with him. The IRS security
refused him entry to the building. There has been cases where people went in
front of the Supreme Court to challenge the IRS. The ruling was very clear, the
people answer to the government not the other way around. The government we
elect does not have to answer to us.
I found two other films on you tube which I watch a lot. The
first was a documentary about Aaron Swartz. He was a child genius. He grew up
with the first generation internet. For a school project, he created an
encyclopedia. When he told others what he was doing, they told him “no way”.
Not only did he create the encyclopedia, but also he got the highest possible
grade. Aaron ended up being the Steve Jobs of his generation. While he was at
Stanford University, he did big oil companies were corrupting a project, which
he proved that test about climate change. After a while, he realized that he
was not happy there. He and some friends created an open source social network
site where members can do coding free of charge. Arron eventually got caught
taking information. The database that he took the information from and the
school he was attending filed charges. They did not know what his intentions
were. Of course, no one will know now. The day before Aaron Swartz took his
life the government added more charges to their case against him. While he was awaiting a court hearing, he
campaigned against the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and won. The government
was not happy. Therefore, they added more charges to his case. This is a clear
sign of abuse of power.
The next film I seen was Algorithm: The Hacker Movie. It was
about a young man who was a freelance hacker. He went to what he thought was an
investigation job to see if a client’s wife was cheating. There was no
adultery; it was a set up from the beginning. The client worked for a secret
government security agency. He was testing the young man out to see if he was
as good as his reputation said. In return for this trouble, his friend was
integrated and killed at some point. Another friend was integrated but
survived. He eventually went to work for the government. That was to spare his
friends and more pain. The government was our very own government. The
government has tortured citizens that were known to have incredible hacking
skills.
Know what to hell does these films have to do with a
Leninist state? Lenin was known for torturing citizens that refused to work for
the government and now we are doing the same thing.
After 9/11, President G. W. Bush said, “Either you are with
us, or you are against us.” This sound familiar. The same mindset allows
dictators to do what they want. Dictators do not just step aside when the
people want them to. No once someone has become a dictator, Lenin, the power
goes to their heads and making them impossible to reason with. Stalin was known
for throwing people in prison for disagreeing with him. That was the lightest
punishment known to be dished out.
We are headed this direction. I am not saying we are going
to end up this way. If we do not stand and say no, we will. It is time for
anarchy and a revolution.
