"The truth is that, to many people calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which 'we', the clever ones, are going to impose upon 'them', the Lower Orders."
by:
George Orwell
[Eric Arthur Blair] (1903-1950) British author

Reader comments about this quote:
The thumb’s down here is for the accuracy (very accurate) of the statement and how well it is played out to the detriment of We The People. The vain self-proclaiming socialists (Progressives, antifa, BLM, etc.) promote wanton destruction of individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty, “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” (Declaration of Independence), truth, family, property and prosperity for all. The herd mentality (ecclesiastically dominated mind and heart) does not bring about the theological promises but rather, it empowers the rich and cleaver to impose their god like will over the “Lower Orders”

    Sillik, using your definition makes you one of the most socially irresponsible presenting a path to life's enslavement and ultimate destruction.

    You behave yourself Mike, and don't take a long Norwalk off a short pier.

    Socialism is neither 'socially responsible' nor 'reasonable.'  It is a deadly con leading to a bottomless pit of empty promises.

    The eventual fulfillment of the promises will in time prove the responsibility, reasonableness, reliability, and the resilience of the human drive and it's simply audacious character.
