We've entered the murderous phase of the America's collapse under collectivism

As Friedrich Hayek explained to us in The Road to Serfdom, the failures of collectivism always and inevitably lead to the empowerment of demagogues, what Hayek called the strong man, who demand that individuals die for the good of the collective. This is inevitable because collectivism of any flavor - communism, socialism, fascism or progressivism never solves the problems it's intended to solve. Instead it creates worse problems which demand more forceful, collectivist solutions. Then the cycle repeats, with ever more force demanded from government. The downward spiral continues until finally demagogues who demand the deaths of individuals for the benefit of the collective rise to power.

The extreme failures of communism led Mao to starve about 65 million Chinese, led Stalin to kill about 50 million Soviets, empowered Hitler to murder 6 million Jews and others and led Pol Pot to murder 3 million southeast Asians. I could go on with the murders committed by communists, socialists and fascists in the last century, but I don't think that's necessary.

What terrifies me is that we've reached that point in America. The US has progressed to the point where the failures of collectivism have led to the empowerment of demagogues who demand the deaths of Americans. Leftist demagogues like Tom Daschle, Barack Obama and their powerful allies claim the elderly have a duty to die for the betterment of the collective. They try to make it sound reasonable and seductive by calling it "death with dignity", but it's nothing more than amoral demagogues, strong men, demanding the sacrifice of lives for the failures of collectivism.

This is the natural evolution of collectivism everywhere including America. Government owns 90 percent of hospitals in America. That's socialism run amok. Government pays 60 percent of health care payments in America. That's fascism run amok. The failures of those collectivist ideologies have have created so many problems we have empowered the demagogues who want to force Americans to die for the good of the collective. This should make every American sick. This should make the light bulb go off. This should make every American wake up and take our government back from these two collectivist parties that have brought us to the point of the destruction of our country.

Barack Obama wants to be the strong man Hayek warned us about (though a worse strong man will likely follow, probably a Republican next, when Obama's collectivist policies fail and the people demand harsher strong man policies), and he's surrounded by demagogue allies that are demanding the deaths of elderly Americans to satisfy the needs of the failed collectivist ideology that is collapsing our country. The American people are fighting back, but there's still a good chance the demagogues will win on this issue. It's not like 1993 when Americans crushed Hillary Clinton's socialized medicine plan. The ongoing damage from collectivism has pushed us to be more accepting of it today.

This demand for human sacrifice reminds me of the human sacrifice of native cultures. It's driven by a superstition that thinks a higher power, central planners, can improve our collective lives just as surely as ancient superstitions about gods improving our collective lives drove human sacrifices of old. It's driven by a false sense that central planning gives the individual power over his environment that he doesn't have in the cruel world of individualism, when in fact all it does is give his power over his own life to the government aristocrats. It's devolution back into the monstrosities of ancient, superstitious cultures on a scale those dwarfs the ancients.
