Nope, 'ends justifies the meens' is a right-wing tenet. Example: Shoot them all and let God sort it out. Wrong. To Machiavelli (1469-1527) is often attributed the statement, "the good end justifies the means". I am not aware of him using that phrase, even in Italian, but the idea is the thing. It is for this reason that Machiavelli is on the catholic Index (list of banned books). "The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end." Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) "The end does not justify the means. No one's rights can be secured by the violation of the rights of others." Ayn Rand (1905-82 ) Ayn Rand was a virulent anti-communist. John Dewey (1859-1952). This site contains much discussion and criticism of Dewey. He was a communist. "Dewey's life-theme was to destroy in men's minds the idea of the individual. Working towards that goal, he promoted the kind of education that would create docile men easily ruled, and he promoted the kind of government that would do the ruling - a statist government where any "recalcitrant minority" would be dealt with by violence. He called the destruction of the individual "new individualism," his homogenizing educational theory "progressive education," and his ideal socialist/fascist government variously "democracy," "socialism," and "democratic socialism." - "The following is from Dewey's essay "Means and Ends" which he submitted to the communist journal The New International (subtitled: "A Monthly Organ of Revolutionary Marxism") and which was published in vol. 4, Aug. 1938 page 232 (Later Works, vol. 13 page 349). Dewey discusses an earlier essay in the same journal by Trotsky. "Since Mr. Trotsky also indicates that the only alternative position to the idea that the end justifies the means is some form of absolutistic ethics based on ... some brand of eternal truths, I wish to say that I write from a standpoint that rejects all such doctrines as definitely as does Mr. Trotsky himself, and that I hold that the end in the sense of consequences provides the only basis for moral ideas and action, and therefore provides the only justification that can be found for means employed. (Page 350.) http://www.abelard.org/briefings/end...ns.php#trotsky : You taught me the true meaning of "cynical". You chose it on your own. As Lincoln stated, "people choose they're own level of happiness". Who said I "choose" to be cynical ? I said I learned it's meaning by observing the Left. : Cynical as in " selfishly or callously calculating ". |

On Mon, 17 Jul 2006 17:35:58 +0000 (UTC), in a place far, far away,
(Eric Chomko) made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Nope, 'ends justifies the meens' is a right-wing tenet. Example: Shoot them all and let God sort it out. No, it's traditionally associated with the left (even when spelled properly), particularly the Stalinist left. And your example is idiotic (as usual), since it has nothing to do with the ends justifying the means. |

wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said : My opinion of Liberals is so poor....So convinced am I of their degenerate character... that I do believe that Liberals are dissappointed that this Space Shuttle mission was a success. I would say the opposite. Consider it was the liberals worried about going ahead when there was dissent about the safety. I was liberals worried that about Bush's threat to cut the space program if there were one more mishap. It looked as if Bush was trying to create one. Of course liberals are happy the mission went ok. We are sick of money being wasted on petty wars that could be spent on our future, like space exploration and space-based energy collection. -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green, http://mindprod.com Who's in charge Cheney or Bush?
