Is it normal to be charged up to 45% income tax? To give the government half of what you earn? Is it normal to not only do that, but to then also pay high taxes on fuel, goods, cars, roads, houses and so on? Is it normal that on top of that you pay GST and are forced to give away 11.5% to hedge funds for superannuation?
Yes it is. In a socialist country.
So why is Australia a socialist country? and why do so many people deny it? Let’s first understand in simple terms what socialism is.
Put simply, socialism is an economic and political philosophy where the “means of production” (think factories, farms, and other places where things are made) are owned and controlled by the “community” as a whole, rather than by private individuals or companies. This is supposed to ensure that wealth and resources are distributed more fairly among everyone.
This is the theory, however the reality is completely different.
The first thing to notice is the concept of the “community”. How is community ownership achieved in socialist countries around the world and especially across the West? It is achieved by redistributing resources, capital, and property from private ownership and placing it into “public” ownership.
“Community” = public.
So having something publicly owned means that it is owned by the general public as an equal community of people right? Well, in theory.
But as you would be well aware of, public ownership in reality doesn’t really mean community ownership, it actually means government ownership.
The key word that is typically used is public. The use of this word is kind of like an oxymoron. An oxymoron is a figure of speech, or in this case words, that combine two contradictory things to create an idea or meaning that contradicts itself.
👉All public assets are owned by the state, not by you.
👉You cannot go to a government agency and request your portion of publicly owned assets to be released to you.
You own nothing. It’s the state that owns everything, and it’s by their goodwill that you get to “benefit” at all from “public” assets.
So Australia is a socialist country, as the state is a public government with publicly owned assets, meaning assets which are off the market to private individuals. Off the market to you.
On top of this, the public government takes up to 45%, basically half, of your income by force.
You never signed a contract saying you agree to give up private ownership of some assets in the nation in exchange for you partaking in a “publicly” run venture.
In actuality, the taxes you pay can amount to more than half, considering all the other taxes that exist, plus red tape fees and charges, of your entire production.
👉So “seizing the means of production”, the typical communist and socialist catchphrase, actually means the state will seize the means of production. Which it basically has already.
And that is what socialism/communism/Marxism etc. is. A complete backwards lie. A scam. You lose your freedoms and one bourgeoise capitalist company gets everything, that company is called the state.
👉Over half of your production is owned by the “public” state. Without your consent.
Australia is a socialist country.
“But most countries around the West operate like this? basically all have public governments?”
Correct. This is because most countries in the Western world are also to varying degrees, socialist. Socialism as we looked at above, is the redistribution of private assets to the “community” equally, and in the case of Australia, over half of your production is redistributed to the “community” in this way. The community being of course, the state itself. Not the actual community.
Lets never kid ourselves. Communism and socialism transferred from its ideological form to a practical form is impossible. It has never been done.
I believe it was designed that way on purpose.
I don’t believe that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels actually thought it would ever work. I firmly believe they made this, along with their other counterparts, as a top down ploy to take the wealth from the masses and transfer it to the elite. Whilst saying the opposite, that the wealth of the elite would go to the masses.
🇦🇺 And Australia is clearly in that category, along with many other countries, where the wealth of the working man is being transferred rapidly out of his hands and into the hands of the elite.
All the words, terminologies, and explanations are all backwards. Purposely confusing.
Because it’s such a grand lie, such a grand scam, that people will deny that it could be possible, which thus allows it to be possible.
“But they said Australia is not a socialist country? Why would they lie?”
