MSNBC Host: Your Kids Belong to the Collective

In the video below, college professor and MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry says your children are not yours -- they are owned by the community. She says public education has failed because we have not allowed the state to confiscate more of our money.

"We have to break through our private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families," says the professor of political science at Tulane University, where she is founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South. Kids belong to whole communities, she insists, and once we realize this we’ll make "better investments" in government indoctrination of children.



Melissa Harris-Perry is regurgitating the Obama "you didn’t build that" meme. "If you've got a business, you didn't build that," Obama said during a campaign stop in Roanoke, Virginia. "Somebody else made that happen," it was not the result of individual initiative. "The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet."

"Like most people of his ideological bent, Obama either cannot or will not distinguish between society -- which is created through peaceful commerce and other forms of private cooperation -- and the state -- an anti-social artifact built on conquest, coercion, and confiscation of wealth," writes William Grigg. "Government produces nothing; it is an exercise in pure consumption and, usually, the destruction of capital. As Nietzsche famously said, everything the State has is stolen.”

Stephan Kinsella argues that the primary social evil today is a lack of respect for the fundamental right of self-ownership. Obama and Harris-Perry represent the other side of this argument. They believe, as do all Marxists and socialists, that the state, what Harris-Perry calls the "community," owns the individual.

Harris-Perry urges us to "break through" the "private idea" that individuals own themselves. Like Marx, she believes the individual is a "communal being" and all human worth is intractably linked to the community, the collective, and the state is the ultimate manifestation of the collective will.

Harris-Perry’s homage to the state was part of a two-year long, multi-million dollar advertising campaign by MSNBC. The network, created through a merger between Microsoft and the death merchant General Electric, has long provided ideological fodder for president Obama, the proud Marxist (as Yuri Maltsev, former advisor to Mikhail Gorbachev, characterized him). "We can go backward, or we can keep moving forward," he said during a speech at Carnegie Mellon University. "And I don't know about you, but I want to move forward."

It’s no mistake Obama’s handlers and MSNBC adopted the slogan. The word "forward" has a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It was frequently used as a name for socialist and communist newspapers and periodicals in the 20th century. "The slogan ‘Forward!’ reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism," writes Victor Morton.

It seems incomprehensible that a multinational corporation like MSNBC would embrace communism. In fact, as Gary Allen noted, it is quite natural.

"If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of superrich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all," he wrote. "Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite."
