Armed robbery is committed with a weapon.

But there is a endless list of types of robber, from con men to congressmen,  and an endless list of methods by which robbery is perpetrated.

They can steal your money, your reputation, and especially your right to have and express an opinion of your own.

Snobs also come in endless varieties.

A snob can be after your money, if he is convincing you that buying any other product is “lowah clahss.”

Every time somebody says, “But my deah fellow, that is not an opinion we of the bettah clahss would approve.”   There are hundreds of these every day, as columnists and those who make up the “news” whether you are using words you are not “allowed” to use or expressing opinions that “we,” which is supposed to mean all decent citizens, simply do not have.

So if a society has to force people to stay inside it, it is a thief. The first law of freedom is that people must WANT what you offer. It doesn’t matter what threat you are using: If you are taking something, you must give something people WANT in return.

If you say White people stole America, you are admitting to taking part in armed robbery.

When Hitchens said South Africa was worse than the Holocaust, I pointed out that illegal BLACK immigration was a problem BLACKS demanded the government should take action on.

Hitchens never even noticed that all countries who followed his Divine Marxism, every one of them, had walls around them and armed men keeping the people in.

Hitchens’ attitude was, “Who cares what a bunch of uneducated niggers want?” But no conservative who made his living making liberal interviewers feel good would ever even THINK such a thing,  much less SAY it.

John Stewart, Walter Cronkite, Christopher Hitchens and all the other “icons” of today talk only about what people SHOULD think. The masses SHOULD have opinions  like those of their “betters.”

Hoffer talks about that endlessly but somehow not in any of the books we see today.

Hoffer was an actual worker, and no Marxist wants to hear what workers want.

It’s “the dictatorship OF the proletariat”, not “BY the proletariat.”
