Chaos, Collapse, and Control

"I can feel it!"
--Jack Godell (The China Syndrome)

People seem incredulous that leftists truly understand the consequences of the policies that they are enacting or trying to enact. "Don't they understand that they are creating economic and social chaos?" they ask.

Chaos is the natural endpoint to socialism, of course. But why invite it?

My answer is that leftists want chaos. They believe if the system collapses, then they can build back better.

A fair follow-up question is, "How can leftists be so sure that they will be able to gain control of a chaotic situation?"

There would need to be lots of players in the cast, of course. Increasingly, however, I think one cast member is essential. Without this player, the left could not gain control over a collapsing system.

That's why lovers of liberty must keep eyes on China.
