Socialism, like anything else, can be harmful if carried (or taken) to excess! In past conversations I’ve likened socialism to a poisonous venom that is medicinal in small dosages, but deadly poisonous if taken even slightly to excess. Although I must admit to it apparently not being a very good analogy.

Perhaps I should be advising moderation, but even that admonition seems a bit dangerous to some immoderate people. Such ideologies as National & Communist Socialism(s) are excellent examples of ‘immoderate’ (excess) socialist collectivism.

A distinction between ‘joint (or collective) ventures’ and ‘socialist collectivism’ is imperative for a healthy civilization to exist. Civilizations are in fact ‘joint ventures’ just like all forms of ‘collective bargaining’ are indicative of healthy civilized behavior. Such things as corporate entities including cooperatives of one kind or another along with trade unions come to mind as western examples of acceptable (collective) joint ventures without malevolent intent to/for the individual.

However, American Social Security was/is a step too far having falsely sold to the American public as an innocent retirement plan administered by the United States Federal Government after which it has been converted into a giant socialist slush fund from which socialists extend their tentacles into all avenues of society. Had Social Security remained true to its original intent our country would be quite different and our Social Security as intended would’ve remained solvent indefinitely. For instance, what business does your Social Security retirement fund have in financially supporting Family Courts around the nation proportionate to the amount of alimony and child support they can extract from American men? You know, Hitler had just such a specialized court established to deal with Nazi undesirables that they called their Peoples Courts as comparative to our so called Family Courts. But that’s just one diversion of your retirement funds by our socialist grifters – there’s more. But I possibly digress.

Socialists are forever looking for ways to get their foot in the door of free market capitalism.

Even though it might be immediately difficult to see the relativeness of the phenomenal asymmetrical brain hypothesis of Dr. Iain McGilchrist, I’m going to link one of his interviews hereto below for consideration.

Dr. McGilchrist appears to be on a book promotional tour of all the Youtube creators, of late, for his new book, “The Matter with Things,” so there’s plenty of interviews out there in cyberspace to choose from.

PS. Could Dr. Gilchrist’s hypothesis serve to explain, to any extent, the current ‘Trans (dysphoric) Pandemic’?
