Preserving Democracy metaphor

 A llberal/leftist statist who loves and worships big government, and who talks about preserving democracy, is like a pyromaniac who talks about preventing fires.

This metaphor works because:

  • Pyromaniacs have a compulsive desire to set fires, even though they know that fires can be destructive and dangerous.
  •  Liberal/leftist statists have a compulsive desire for control, even though they know that excessive control can be harmful to democracy.
  • Both pyromaniacs and liberal/leftist statists are driven by their own desires, even if those desires are ultimately self-destructive.

This metaphor is not meant to be a perfect analogy, but it is a way to understand the contradiction at the heart of liberal/leftist statism. Liberal/leftist statists claim to want to preserve democracy, but their actions often undermine democratic values. This metaphor helps to illustrate the hypocrisy of liberal/leftist statism.

The Impact of Reduced Working Hours (1) on the Economy: A Free Market Analysis

  The Impact of Reduced Working Hours on the Economy: A Free Market Analysis  In a free market economy, where supply and demand dictate prices and production, a reduction in the number of hours worked per day by workers can have significant consequences across the entire economic system. This essay will explore the chain reaction that starts with reduced working hours and culminates in a decrease in the standard of living for the average worker. Reduced Working Hours and Aggregate Productivity: When workers put in fewer hours, the total output produced naturally decreases. This decline in aggregate productivity directly impacts the overall supply of goods and services in the economy. With fewer goods and services available, the scarcity principle dictates that their prices will rise. Decreased Aggregate Production and Aggregate Supply: The reduced output caused by fewer working hours directly translates to a decrease in aggregate production. This decline in production further ...

Just War, An Objective Definition

  Just War Objective Definition: Perceptual Level Roots and Basic Fundamental Axioms: Human beings have inherent rights to life, liberty, and security.  This is a fundamental axiom of just war theory, rooted in the observation that all humans share these basic needs and desires. States have a responsibility to protect their citizens from harm.  This responsibility stems from the social contract between the state and its citizens, where citizens give up some individual freedoms in exchange for the state's protection. War is a last resort.  This means that all other peaceful means of resolving a conflict must be exhausted before resorting to war. This axiom recognizes the destructive nature of war and the importance of seeking peaceful solutions whenever possible. War must be fought with proportionality.  This means that the force used must be proportionate to the threat posed by the enemy. This axiom aims to minimize unnecessary suffering and destruction. War mus...

Israel (1) is fighting a just and righteous war against the Palestinian terrorists and terrorist sympathizers

 (1) Israel is fighting a  just and righteous war against the Palestinian terrorists and terrorist sympathizers In examining the war between Israel and the Palestinians/terrorists, it is important to consider the principles of conservatism and delve into the reasons why this conflict is perceived as a just and righteous war for Israel, while it may not be viewed similarly for the Palestinians/terrorists. Firstly, conservatism places great importance on maintaining law and order, upholding the rule of law, and protecting the sovereignty and security of a nation  [1] . From this perspective, Israel's war against the Palestinians/terrorists can be seen as just and righteous because it aims to safeguard the safety and well-being of its citizens. Israel has a responsibility to protect its people from acts of terrorism and preserve its territorial integrity  [2] . Secondly, conservatism values the preservation of traditional values and the promotion of individual freedoms ...
