Understanding the Great Manifesto – Part 2

(ANOTHER Guest Post by Karl Stalin...

Oh boy! Here we go AGAIN! Hold on to your flags folks!...It's going to be a GRUMPY ride!)

Greetings once again, my highly esteemed comrades!

I apologize for leaving you hanging for a few days (I had the urgent business of Big Brother to attend to), but once again I am back.

Today's lesson will be on the next two principles of the Great and Powerful Manifesto:
3.) Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4.) Confiscation of property


Beginning with the third principle, we notice a very interesting concept:
That the rights of inheritance must be ABOLISHED.
Why, you ask? It's very simple, really…
It all has to do with following the first principle of the Glorious Manifesto, which is to abolish all private property. You see the issue here is to keep the sons from having the temptation of using the property that they may have inherited for EVIL MEANS.
Lets' be realistic, now. Your average citizen (which is in essence ALL citizens) has no competence when it comes to handling personal property. He isn't exactly smart enough, as we established when we first looked at principle #1 of The Manifesto.
It only makes sense, therefore, to conclude that the citizen would also have no competence when it comes to "handing off" his property to his children. As we ALL know, only Big Brother is capable of handling such a difficult and confusing (to the masses) process.
Another reason inheritance must be abolished is because it takes away from the property of Big Brother— uh, I mean, the PUBLIC.
And if you cheat the collective out of what it is entitled to, only chaos and disunity can result. This is general knowledge, of course.


Let us now move on to the FOURTH principle,
The Confiscation of Property…


Now why must this property be confiscated? This too is simple once explained. Imagine someone did not agree with you…what would YOU do?
Obviously, you would imprison them and confiscate their property! The same is true for traitors to the Collective! We simply take away their property and give it to the state — I mean the PUBLIC of course. Everything is for the Great Community!
The advantage of this process is twofold:

• First, you get the satisfaction of seeing that all traitors to the collective (and everyone who disagrees with Big Brother IS a traitor to the collective), are punished and are made an example of.
• Secondly, that the Collective receives an abundance of inheritance from the very traitors that seek its demise.

Quite ironic, don't you think?
CARRY ON, my highly esteemed comrades! In Collective Union we are STRONG!

Sincerely,
-Karl Stalin
