Who will be your Masters?

—

Every totalitarian form of government, whether it be socialist, national socialist, communist or fascist, has a certain privileged  group whose inhabitants are more equal than others.  In the USSR these were the nomenclatura. 

 The nomenclatura had higher income, better housing, and special stores where they paid lower prices than were the lot of the common bloke.  These were the people who operated the soviet government.

 Today we are ruled by a government whose intent is to drive the United States into one of the systems listed above.  The National Sozialistische perhaps?  Or…?  Whichever system results, who will belong to the nomenklatura?  Who will be your masters?

 Only those who, by right, can bear arms are allowed at the council fire for they are freemen and citizens.  The unarmed are serfs and may be armed only at their master’s order and whim.  Who will be your masters?

 “Where the people fear the government, there is tyranny.  Where the government fears the people, there is freedom”(1).  The objective of free men, then, is to ensure that the government fears them.
