“The truth is that, to many people calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which ‘we’, the clever ones, are going to impose upon ‘them’, the Lower Orders.”
— George Orwell
Corollary: “…and exile, punish or execute all those who refuse to accept the reforms.”
-Kim Du Toit
Even as Socialists believe they have the wherewithal to “evolve” everyone else to “their” plane of existence and elevate their human nature, they never realize that they betray their own human nature to the rest of us by their very actions. And when they continue to talk sufficiently long enough, their mere words do it for them. They’ve been at it so long that they no longer realize how it comes across to the rest of us as they must amp it up because we refuse to accept it.
And that’s when the meanness comes out. Sometimes, that only takes a day or so after they’ve started.
(H/T: Kim Du Toit)
