A very strong line in the Leftist's ideology is "protection" of this and that. The national socialist wants to "protect" his race from "mixing" with other races. The economic socialist wants to "protect" local jobs from competition in a globalized world. The green socialist wants to "protect" the environment from changes by human activities (usually calling it pollution or destruction).
How are these protections to be implemented? The socialist has tried just about everything which he can use the State for: Tariffs, border control, regulations, special projects of all sizes and shapes, taxes, executions, and God knows what. However, the solution is simple: Increased poverty is the tool which the socialist needs!
What happens when a country is poor? No-one wants to move to it and no-one can afford to leave it so the national socialist should be happy. No jobs exist which can afford to use modern technology to be efficient and competitive so there is very little risk of someone wanting to steal them, and therefore the economic socialist should be happy. The people can't afford cars, electricity or warmed up houses so the need for energy is little. Also, no-one has the money to invest in new powerplants or buildings so disruption of land should be at a minimum. This decreases "pollution" in all its forms, hopefully to the enjoyment of the green socialist.
It seems to be obvious that the socialist has to put poverty at the top of his priority list if he's ever to see his goals fulfilled.

Sometimes, the Next Blog button does a good job. I'm an American libertarian who is just passing through, and I like what you have on here. Swing by mine some time if you like. I also contribute to one called Stream of Consciousness, and I think we would definitely like to have your input. So far, it's only Americans, but the moderator and I both want to have a little more spice in there. If you want, swing by streamo.blogspot.com and check it out.
