The first tea party, led by Samuel Adams, occurred in Boston on December 16, 1773. It was a protest against unreasonable taxes imposed by a tyrannical government. This has led to the recent protest movement known as the Tea Party movement. What the ever leftist media will not tell you however, is that the Tea Party has transformed from an American tradition of liberty to a global assault on tyranny.
Tea Parties have been taking place all around the world from Italy to the country that started it all: Great Britain. Karl Marx was right when he foresaw a coming, global, revolution. His mistake tough, was that this would be a revolution of individualism and classical liberalism. Not of collectivism and slavery. We can make Marx roll over in his grave and organize International Tea Party Day!
"When the people fear the government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."
-Thomas Jefferson
I will mildly disagree. Communism, as Marx intended it, doesn't involved tyranny. But as leaders who used it intended it, it's become full of tyranny.
ReplyDeleteMarx wanted a "dictatorship of the proletariat." He thought that the government was everyone else telling you how to live. It essentially was everyone controlled your life except you.
