Terra Nova a Journey Into Liberal Propaganda

The future is dim thanks to humanity's destruction of the environment. So they send humans into the age of the dinosaurs to restart civilization. . . using a communist model governed by a military leadership.

Ahhh, utopia for the liberals!

My, my, my, how easily the Hollywood liberal whackos forget history.

Aside from the recent history of the failure of leftism, such as the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is also the history of America, in the colonies, where a communal society was tried. . . and it failed.

When the Pilgrims came to America, they did so for religious freedom. Back in England The King was not only the head of a strong, overpowering, centralized government, but had also set himself up as the head of the church. In doing so, he declared all religions other than his own, the Church of England, illegal. The Church of England was the National Religion.

The first footprint on Plymouth Rock signified a break from tyranny, but the colonists were not sure what kind of government they desired. Many forms of government were attempted throughout America's young history, and nearly all of them failed.

Over the course of the next hundred years, or so, among the forms of government attempted, one attempt was a socialist-style form of government, in which the neighborhood, or community, was much like a commune type setting. The members of the community provided for the entire community by adding what they produced into the public coffer. This style of government did not succeed, however, because they found that human nature caused some colonists to not pull their full weight. Starvation and death plagued the communal societies. The utopian dream was a dismal failure.

Eventually, the form of government that worked best was when the people were able to keep what they produced, taking care of their families first, and then taking to market the remainder so as to acquire other goods and services they may need for their family that they were unable to produce on their own. This was the beginning of the free market system that would eventually evolve into the Capitalism that would make this nation prosperous, and the greatest economic power in the world.

If Terra Nova on Fox TV is realistic, the experiment will fail unless they change it from a socialistic liberal communal society controlled by the military to a system where the people keep more of what they earn for themselves. . . then again, maybe that is where the writers are taking it. We'll see, but I won't hold my breath on that one.
