UTOPIA......A LOST CAUSE!



Readers would be mindful to consider what this Government is trying to do.......turn our nation into some kind of wannabe UTOPIAN state. Wikipedia explains it well:

"Utopia (from Greek: "place that does not exist") is a fictional island near the coast of the Atlantic Ocean written about by Sir Thomas More as the fictional character Raphael Hythloday (translated from the Greek as "knowing in trifles") recounts his experiences in his travels to the fictional island with a perfect social, legal, and political system. It may be used pejoratively, to refer to a society that is unrealistic and impossible to realize. It has also been used to describe actual communities founded in attempts to create an ideal society

Utopia is largely based on Plato's Republic. It is a perfect version of Republic wherein the beauties of society reign (eg: equalism and a general pacifist attitude), although its citizens are all ready to fight if need be. The evils of society, eg: poverty and misery, are all removed. It has few laws, no lawyers and rarely sends its citizens to war, but hires mercenaries from among its war-prone neighbors (these mercenaries were deliberately sent into dangerous situations in the hope that the more warlike populations of all surrounding countries will be weeded out, leaving peaceful peoples). The society encourages tolerance of all religions. Some readers have chosen to accept this imaginary society as the realistic blueprint for a working nation, while others have postulated More intended nothing of the sort. Some maintain the position that More's Utopia functions only on the level of a satire, a work intended to reveal more about the England of his time than about an idealistic society. This interpretation is bolstered by the title of the book and nation, and its apparent equivocation between the Greek for "no place" and "good place": "Utopia" is a compound of the syllable ou-, meaning "no", and topos, meaning place. But the homonymous prefix eu-, meaning "good," also resonates in the word, with the implication that the perfectly "good place" is really "no place."

These utopias are based on economics. Most of them formed in response to the harsh economic conditions of the 19th century. Particularly in the early nineteenth century, several utopian ideas arose, often in response to the social disruption created by the development of commercialism and capitalism. These are often grouped in a greater "utopian socialist" movement, due to their shared characteristics: an egalitarian distribution of goods, frequently with the total abolition of money, and citizens only doing work which they enjoy and which is for the common good, leaving them with ample time for the cultivation of the arts and sciences. One classic example of such a utopia was Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward. Another socialist utopia is William Morris' News from Nowhere, written partially in response to the top-down (bureaucratic) nature of Bellamy's utopia, which Morris criticized. However, as the socialist movement developed it moved away from utopianism; Marx in particular became a harsh critic of earlier socialisms he described as utopian. (For more information see the History of Socialism article.)
Utopias have also been imagined by the opposite side of the political spectrum. For example, Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress portrays an individualistic and libertarian utopia. Capitalist utopias of this sort are generally based on perfect market economies, in which there is no market failure—or the issue of market failure is never addressed, any more than socialist utopias address the issue of planning failures. Also consider Eric Frank Russell's book The Great Explosion (1963) whose last section details an economic and social utopia. This forms the first mention of the idea of Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS).
Sociocapitalism has been proposed to be a candidate of economic utopia. It uses social policies to correct the weakness of capitalism."

Scary but true. We have a group of people who are secretly, behind the scenes calling the shots and whose one aim is to "correct the weakness of capitalism". This coup reeks so much of Father Barr's and ECREA's socialist policies, which i do believe is one of the reasons for the coup.....the championing the rights of the poor and marginalised, the equalising redistribution of wealth....etc etc......however, their grand aims...no matter how wonderful is just that only an ideal. In order for it to survive, it must have the full mandate of the people. The people need to make a move for revolution. Not a group of idealists who push their own agendas and think they become the almighty spokespeople for the poor and marginalised who do not agree with the way they are pushing for their agendas.

Being a secret but deadly coup supporter will not augur well for these wolves in sheeps clothing.

These are but hirelings who prey on the innocent and less educated ones. They speak peace and equality for all but instead bring a sword of war and blood shed. Is that the utopia they seek?

They might as well wait for pigs to fly.

The only UTOPIA that will be establiched will be GOD"S KINGDOM of RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE & JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST!

I would urge people who are seeking a utpian society.....SALVATION COMES FROM GOD.....HE CAN SAVE YOU OUT OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFESTYLE AND CAUSE YOU TO BE CONTENT WITH YOUR LOT IN LIFE. Jesus Christ has already paid the price of a UTOPIAN SOCIETY for man. When we accept Christ into our lives, we immediately gain entry into Christ's UTOPIAN KINGDOM which is not of this world. Don't push your agendas onto this nation......leave Fiji to be changed and revolutionised by Christs true followers. AMEN!
