Coronavirus Measures Are the Left’s Social Taxes
The Marxist Left wants to own your body like they want to own your money
The Left has found little success reforming the tax code, so now they’re trying to make society itself a tool of Marxism.
American hatred for taxes has prevented Marxists from ushering in their own regime through economics, but the COVID-19 pandemic presented them with a golden opportunity to take another, more efficient route. Establishing socialism, where the State owns the whole means of production, would have taken years to accomplish through tax policy, and moving further to communism, where there are neither State nor social classes but everything is “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” would have been nearly impossible.
However, because of COVID-19, Marxists can now attack the private individual directly: they have made individual health the primary means of production and begun to regulate it before anyone was the wiser. Through that regulation, the Marxists have motivated the whole public to take responsibility for it; a man’s health is no longer his own business but the business of all his neighbors, as well. The new means of production is quickly becoming publicly owned in a manner that has no need for a State.
