“Brain Dump”

Write EVERYTHING THAT COMES TO MIND

when you see the following pictures

'He cleared the walls of itsLiberty, Equality,

Fraternity.

And he was right. Ah! France!

You are no longer free(a straitjacket is more

free…),nor equal,

nor brothers,

You are in a civil warwith your own countrymen.

There cannot be peace in this dismal state of siege.

““History does not know of another History does not know of another government so government so stupidstupid, so , so dishonestdishonest, so , so

cowardlycowardly, so , so treacheroustreacherous.” .”

In regards to Socialism, particularly in France:

“…The ordinary listeners to the speeches at Social Democratic rallies…learn nothing about the

means, they are promised there will be more pay for less work—nobody says where it

will come from, more specifically, how it can be

sustained after the redistribution, the robbery of

the propertied has taken place.

“…If everyone receives their subsistence from higher

authority, we will live as in a prison, where nobody has his

own vocation or economic independence, where everyone

stands under compulsory supervision.

Otto Von Bismarck

In regards to Socialism, particularly in France:

Even in a prison, the supervisor is an honorable civil servant

against whom one can lodge a complaint.

But who will be the supervisors in the great socialist prison?

They will be the speakers whose oratorical skill allows

them to win over the masses, the majority of the votes, and against them there can be no appeal; they will be the most merciless tyrants there have ever been, and the others, the slaves of tyrants.
