A rule for radical obama

His studies at Columbia and rising income helped to dilute the radicalism of Will Durant, in 1914. Reason and science entered to change his thinking. “Now I saw that struggle not merely in plants and animals, but as well in the competition of man against man, of woman against woman, of class against class, of state against state, of religion against religion, of idea against idea; competition is the law of life. In this view the socialist call for a warless and classless society seemed doomed by the processes of nature and the resultant nature of man.”

“Moreover, the study of psychology indicated that variety and inequality are rooted in the needs and method of evolution as a survival of advantageous differences in the struggle for existence. ... All men are unequal, even at birth, in physical qualities and mental capacities; and congenital superiorities combine with environmental differences in developing acquired inequalities, In every society the majority of abilities lies in a minority of men; so, in every society, some concentration of wealth is natural, and grows with the complexity of te economy and the unequal value, to the community, of diverse talents in its individuals. In light of these ABC’s it became clear to my budding brain that the communist ideal of equal rewards and a classless society was biologically impossible, and that socialism would have to reconcile itself to a considerable inequality of possessions and power. The natural concentration of wealth could be checked, now and then, by remedial legislation or disruptive revolution, but after every interruption it would soon be renewed.“

The rule here for radical Obama is that the playing field can be temporarily leveled by socialist, progressive legislation and politically correct rules and oppressions, even a revolution, but ultimately the curds, milk and cream will settle themselves out and resolve unnatural attempts to control human nature and human progress.
