"When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand... not before that."
-Yuri Bezmenov (taken from an interview that can be viewed here)
Ah, Utopia! A place where the tables are always full, everyone shares everything, the days are idyllic, and people are free to be who and what they are meant to be. You pick the fruit, but someone else snatches it from your hand and eats it because 'fruit belongs to everybody'. You go into your backyard, only to find someone else in your garden patch, plucking the ripe tomato you'd so carefully tended and been saving for your special supper! The person just shrugs and says, 'It comes from the land, and all that comes from the land belongs to everyone.' An hour later, you see the same person manning a stand on the street-corner, selling your tomato for a profit! When you finally decide to lay yourself down to rest on your comfortable bed, you find someone else already sleeping in it... .
You planted, and did not eat. You harvested and had the food snatched from your hand. You built your house, and someone else lived in it. A light-bulb suddenly goes on in your mind, and you awake to the realization that you've been mugged, robbed, and subjected to a home-invasion! This isn't what you signed on for! But, wait, there is more on the way... .
You see a person living on the street, and you are moved to sympathy. You take the time to speak the him/her, to learn what caused him/her to be in such straits. He/she tells you that he/she worked at Sears for thirty years, and was looking forward to retirement when the company went bankrupt. His/her pension disappeared because the company pension fund had been drained. You feel sorry for the person, and hand him/her a fiver to buy some food, and head off. You glance over your shoulder as you cross the street, only to see the person having the money ripped out of his/her hand by the same person who stole the fruit from your hand, robbed your garden, and invaded your home and slept in your bed!
It doesn't end there, though. There is more. You see the coat you gave to a charity for people in distress on the back of someone who most definitely should not be wearing it. The person is not an abused woman (or man) escaping a battering spouse, or a person struggling to overcome an addiction. The person in what was once your coat, looks remarkably healthy and unbattered. In fact, he/she looks exactly like the person who robbed you of your fruit, stole from your garden, invaded your home, and mugged the Sears pensioner!
You head home, intent on reporting these indignities to your local commissar. Along the way, however, you stop at one of the few remaining bookstores and head for the section that stocks dictionaries. You quickly thumb through one, until you find the listing for 'socialism'. Your eyeballs nearly pop out! Socialism is defined as a system where social rights outweigh property rights. Your dreams of Nirvana come crashing down around you. In the glorious system you helped to build, it is perfectly acceptable for someone to come along and snatch your pizza out of your hand while it is mid-way to your mouth! You can work all day, and someone else can come along and claim your pay-packet. All that person has to do is claim that they need it more than you do! The last lines in the dictionary entry under 'socialism' is a particularly hard kick in the gut. It reads: 'The state owns everything, and the state is run by people who are richer and more powerful than you will ever be permitted to be. Eat that, sucker!'
Property rights are an inherent part of nature. You pluck the fruit, and it is your right to eat it. You grow the tomato, and it is yours to serve for supper, give to someone else, or leave to rot on the vine in order to have seed for next year's sowing. Animals will fight to defend the food they've hunted or gathered, so why should humans simply surrender theirs? It isn't natural. In nature, animals do form societies, however these societies are generally extended families such as packs and herds. It is natural for these large family groups to work together for a common good, but beware the stranger who tries to infiltrate them! The common good is measured in what is good for the pack of herd. Different packs, or herds, stick to their own territories - and that is good for everyone involved.
Many people make the mistake of believing that property rights relate only to inanimate possessions, and thus fail to see another danger in the concept of 'a system where social rights outweigh property rights'. Imagine a society where you have to sleep with whomever demands it of you. Oh, sorry, we already have that don't we? If a dude dares say that he isn't interested in 'women' with penises, he's called a 'transphobe' and social pressure is brought to bear on him until he cracks and gives in to getting humped by she-males. Social rights outweigh property rights, remember? The poor guy doesn't have the right to refuse his body to whomever demands it.
Remember the days when kids were taught how to 'stay safe' by their teachers at school? How they were encouraged to run like hell from any potential perverts? How they were taught 'my body belongs to me, and no one has the right to touch it'? How parents could opt their children out of sex-ed classes, and how sex-ed classes mainly consisted of explanations about the female menstrual cycle, and how a boy's plumbing worked? Now it is all about how to enjoy anal and oral sex, how you can have two mothers or fathers, and how Joey should wear a dress and use the girl's bathroom if he wants to.
'All the better to soften you up for pedophile and pedarstes,' said the grinning wolf in Grannie's nightdress. Teach the child he/she doesn't have property rights over his/her own body, and you've got your next slave-class a-forming. Your body now belongs to the collective, and you'll do what you're told.
Breaking the normal family unit is essential to breaking the clan (or herd, or pack), Breaking the clan is a necessary precursor to breaking all concept of personal property. Breaking the concept of personal property is necessary when someone wants to return us to a feudal society where the land belongs to the rulers, and so do the people on it.

Throughout the ages, people have engaged in debate about what the 'original sin' (as depicted in the biblical story of Adam and Eve) actually was. What was the fruit that Adam and Eve ate of? Was it an apple? Was it sex? What the hell was it?
As I've pointed out in previous posts, the story of Adam and Eve is just a rip-off of an older tale wherein a pair of humans steal an object from a sacred grove. That said, what did Adam and Eve actually do? They took something that they were forbidden to take. In other words, they stole. Theft was the original sin. They took the personal property of their own God. What they took isn't important. The fact that they took it, is.

Now, what is going to happen to all the fanatics that jumped on board the socialist train when it finally reaches the station? Yuri Bezmenov described it quite succinctly. All the useful idiots, that is, those people who thought it would guarantee their lifestyles and the victory of their political agenda, will be the first lined up in front of the firing squad. They're now nothing more than a useless liability. The next will be the dissenters and the disillusioned.
'O see ye not yon narrow road,
So thick beset wi' thorns and briers?
That is the Path of Righteousness,
Though after it but few inquires.
'And see ye not yon braid, braid road,
That lies across the lily leven?
That is the Path of Wickedness,
Though some call it the Road to Heaven.'
From 'Thomas the Rhymer' (anonymous 17th century English poem)
