As I’ve already explained, I do not actively involve myself in politics, nor do I follow or subscribe to any political party. However, I do hold some core political ideals.
I am selfish, self-centered and greedy. I am an end in myself. I cherish individuality and personal achievement. I have no pity for the majority. I love money and I hate playing the victim card when I don’t have as much of it as I’d like. For these reasons I consider myself a Capitalist. These are also a few of the reasons why I consider myself a Satanist. In my opinion, Capitalism is one of the most truly Satanic concepts of all.
Consequently, I despise Communism, which is the antithesis to these ideals which I hold dearly. It’s essentially the political equivalent of Christianity.
As far as I’m concerned, Communism is for bitter paupers who don’t have what it takes to succeed in life or climb the Capitalist ladder. They despise those who have more than them and especially those who don’t offer them sympathy or charity. They demand altruism, selflessness and pity. They believe the main purpose of man’s existence is to contribute to the greater good of society, no matter what he must sacrifice, such as his pride and ego—the very things that comprise the human spirit (not the white light kind).
Many Communists would say they don’t think all men should be equal, they just want all men to have equal opportunities. What a disgusting contradiction! If no two men are equal to each other then why should they both have the same opportunities in life? Stupid, uneducated and unequipped people have their place in society and the smart, educated and endowed people have theirs. This is in tune with an essential law of nature: stratification.
Consider a pride of lions as an example. Do you think any of the stronger adult lions give two fucks about the weaker cubs who want a piece of the fresh gazelle corpse? The only way they’ll eat is if there’s any scraps left over, unless they become strong and courageous enough to fight for their place in the chow line. Many lion cubs die as a result of this harsh reality, and it couldn’t be any other way. Sad… I really do like cats.
Of course nobody practices Capitalism, or any other political system, perfectly. There will always be those who bastardize it and break the rules. I say hate the players, not the game. The game isn’t always fun or fair, but such is life.
Realistically, I don’t think Western society will ever be ready to adopt a pure, raw social darwinist lifestyle. I sure as hell am not. I am by no means a living pinnacle of Capitalism either, but that doesn’t mean I can’t aspire to achieve success in my life according to the ideals I hold true; many of which belong to Capitalism. In the meantime I have no problem accepting help from others whose ideals contradict mine, and there’s a damn good chance I’ll never return the favor unless I’ve already agreed to do so. I never feel entitled to charity and I don’t complain when I don’t get a satisfactory amount of it. If people want to extend their generosity toward me I’ll humbly accept, for to refuse it based on moral principles would be counter-productive and akin to martyrdom.
Here’s to individuality, selfishness, wealth, achievement, power, and might. Hail Capitalism!
