Depending on Failure

Just the other day, I was reading an interesting online article. It was written well (save one spelling error) and related a relationship problem between a conservative and a liberal who had been friends for many years. Though an interesting read, I found the first six comments even more illuminating. Combining the theme of the blog and the responses, I have come to some conclusions about both the black population of the U.S., the Leftists, and their role in the forthcoming socialist playground.
Both depend on redirecting blame for failure to someone else. In each of the cases, the supporters of socialism or the supporters of racial equality both assume that the cause of their failures come from an outside source. While the groupthink may spout some platitudes about racial equity or social justice, I am now certain that the individual in these groups is vitally certain that they are unimpeachable in their actions and all failures must come from some mysterious evil force.
Ergo, a black man will believe in the power of racism, while still deperately trying to enforce a racial discrimination in the workplace, and the socialist believe in the power of social justice, while still seizing the possessions and the hardwork of the successful. Both of these are contradictions in their desire and implementation, yet the individual will irrationally defend any contradictory action in fear of or in hopes of some solution to their failure. Eventually, though, they become inured to the sensation of failure and simply become minuature defenders of their failure without taking any real individual steps to secure success. They join the group and try to garner the sensation of success through others, usually rock star presidents and over-funded "non-profit" groups helping the exhalted disadvantaged. With failure being supported and excused from primary school to university to non-profit group, how can we possibly expect to turn the ship of state towards a universally successful capitalism? Major changes have always required major sacrifices.

Perfect! And clearly a great extension of that article.

A dependence on failure is the core of marxism and socialism as we see it today.
