Don't Tell Glenn Beck: LAURA BUSH IS A MAOIST SCHOLAR!

LAURA BUSH IS A MAOIST SCHOLAR!


Look at the bookshelf behind Chris Wallace (in the Bush home, where Chris Wallace interviewed Laura Bush). Right behind his shoulder appears to be this book http://www.amazon.com/Mao-Life-Philip-Short/dp/B0000AZW7D/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274016862&sr=1-9 . Interestingly, most of the Amazon reviews describe the book as somewhat "sympathetic" to Mao.

Wait a second...you don't suppose that it's not actually Pickles who read the book, do you? That would mean that it belongs to former President George W. "I read three Shakespeares" Bush.

Does Glenn Beck know?????

1. Many people in many groups want totalitarianism

Without talking about any individual, just the concepts of different governance...

If a person wants to rule without having to worry about popular consent, and educating people, then they need a system that can rule without democracy.

The consolidations of corporations, then how they try and set policy through a PR governmental system is a way to set up a totalitarian system, and it is not capitalism when they are setting prices and using monopolies.


The idea of many small business competing, and not a single hierarchy is a better system, because then ever individual can contribute an idea and thought, and everyone thinks on what is best in democracies.

In democracies you have to educate the people, in totalitarianism you have to dumb them down and most that like a totalitarian system also lie quite often.


It is much harder to get a population to agree on an idea, it takes education, but having representative government allows for a check against a few people that use worse methods from doing much bad, because most people are good.

If a society lets those ruthless enough to be mean to get to the top of a system, and that system sets the rules, things end up bad. If everyone has input and thinks and feels on things, then the systems get better as the bad parts are put in check.


Some say people are bad, and can't rule, but people that say that are sometimes worse and just thinking the world is really bad from their perspective.

Proof that most people are better then totalitarians, go to a bar a park, a lake, or anywhere people are just spending time. How many are destroying the environment for profit? How many are attacking each other? How many are being mean without feeling? Very few act that way, yet what are the results of systems where you have to be mean to get to where decisions are made? Wars, pollution and much suffering that can be avoided.


There are many good people in many places, but systems that have the mantra of profit first, or thinking without feeling, should not set societal policy.


As far as Mao, never read it, so not sure what it says, but I do know that if it is totalitarianism, then it would have the same flaws. And just like monopoly capitalism, monopoly state would be a centralized system with flaws.
