Socialism twists humanism to deceive uninformed citizens.
The State as an institution restricts freedoms: it tells us when we can retire; it can force us to die in wars, go to jail; it legally monopolises violence, decides educational contents, makes us pay taxes, pillages our inheritors when we die. State size varies from a liberal minimum to a communist maximum. It might be so imperfect that it does not know how to defend itself from tyrannical governments acting against those who did not vote it. Spain is in this situation; liberal principles are excluded from education. The State’s arms are politicians and civil servants with so many self-awarded privileges who, with lack of ethics and excess greed, may be corrupted. In Spain, political discourse tends to not matter much, voters do not expect reports back, slaves proud of wearing their shackles. Some boast they always vote the same party. The Second US Constitution Amendmente, which allows US citizens to have arms to avoid its government becoming tyrannical, is cautious against abuse of powers. In Spain, putting up with socialist and separatist governments is quite normal, which are tyrannical for acting against those who did not vote them (constitutionalists, monarchists, autonomous, Catholics). A foreign monsignor walked around Madrid preaching that liberalism is a sin for doing away with God. According to Saint Thomas Aquinas, this monsignor sins because he thought that stupidity was a sin. He should read Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments. Ethics has to do with daily living, our freedom and that of others, according to the community’s laws and customs, not with the beyond. These monsignors lengthen the inexplicable anti-Christian list of separatist, communist and pro-terrorist bishops. Pro-socialist mass media harass the Church about priests abusing minors, hiding cases of socialists’ harassment covered up by socialist governments. I am convinced that the percentage of cases of priests abusing minors is lower than that of “progressives”. They accuse whoever reports irregular immigration of encouraging hate, as if asking the law to be met were a crime. Socialism distorts humanitarianism to deceive uninformed voters. In Spain everyday, 226 abortions take place; 39 private properties are seriously interfered with; 14 illegal immigrants enter; 11 Spaniards commit suicide; 8 elderly ladies die alone at home. Spanish males lack legal equality compared to females; the birth rate is constantly negative; the private middle class is disappearing. Separation of powers is debatable. Collectively, civil servants, politicians, the unemployed and pensioners amount to 17 million net recipients, while those practicing private activities, net taxpayers, with precariousness, seasonality and low medium salaries, come to only 16 million. Is that sustainable? The debt of 1.45 billion euros cannot be paid. No power respects Spain in foreign politics; we are neither reliable nor have military capacity. Separatism affects 30% of national territory. Spain’s enemies form socialist/separatist governments by encouraging the breach of private property, of life (abortions), attacking the traditional family and the monarchy. Spain pillages pensioners who do not work by charging them income tax; there are death duties for inheritors in every generation; it distorts abortion with the “right” to kill the innocent. Rather than helping all pregnant women with whatever they need to give birth to conceived babies, they are encouraged to not have them; anti-family ideologies are subsidised; thousands of million euros are spent to invent “rights” for the morally ignorant. Ethical values are not defended by the harassed surrendered Church. Non-religious ethical people do much more for the common good than Catholic civil servants who obey power and take advantage of privileges, paid by their private neighbours who are worse off and are precariously employed. The ecclesiastic message should converge with practical ethics, which is not ensured by merely going to church, but by practicing virtues with others and not supporting tyrannical governments. Spain will be imminently baled out for debt that cannot be paid and will have to cut the pensions of 10.4 million Spaniards and the salaries of 3.15 million civil servants. The sinful voters who cooperate with national ruin will awake. The new government will find a country crushed by debt.
