I should most likely not be amazed that NGOs have become synonymous with organisations representing the interests of the government or the European Commission – “over-responsibility”. Progressives have twisted the meaning of not 1 and not 2 terms present in our lives for centuries. Why would they leave civilian organizations alone? If they've dealt with:
1. Social justice; in the first version it means equal application of the law and protection of the individual from the arbitrariness of the State. In the left-wing version, it means the redistribution of goods by gender, origin, race or sexual preference, or no more or little injustice.
2. Equality; originally it meant equality to the law and deficiency of state privileges. In the ideological left-wing version, it means artificial equalisation of opportunities through quotas, parities or affirmative actions, which in practice make fresh inequalities.
3. Tolerance; the first meaning: accepting different views, even if we disagree with them. In the left-wing version, it is an work to affirm all lifestyle even if it restricts my freedom and the right to express my views.
4. Democracy; the first meaning: a strategy in which power derives from the will of most citizens. The ideological version: "real democracy" is 1 that implements a programme of left-wing values. If the majority of citizens choose otherwise, it is referred to as "the crisis of democracy".
5. Freedom; the first meaning: no coercion from the state and another people, individual freedom. Left version:right to claim from the state of the Tributes and social advantages at the expense of the welfare of others.
6. Solidarity; first meaning: voluntary social bond and common assistance of individuals. Left-wing version: compulsory benefits and redistribution imposed top-down by the state.
7. Family; first meaning: a natural community based on the union of a woman, a man and their children. Left-wing version – any configuration of persons – including group or single-sex systems. At the same time, recourse to a conventional household means discrimination and in any countries it can be criminal
8. Human rights; first meaning: fundamental freedoms of each individual, or freedom of speech, right to life, private property. The left-wing version is simply a directory of privileges – the right to free housing, social benefits, benefits, access to the Internet, to ‘uninjured’, or the right to prohibit others from eating pork.
9. Freedom of speech; first meaning: an absolute right to express your views. Left-wing version: the right to censor statements that offend people of peculiar concern due to age, colour, gender, sexual preferences, weight, ethnicity, religion and whatever.
I urge the text by Mr Cleppe on how the European Commission, together with the left-wing organisations, led to the collapse of the ideas of NGOs. erstwhile the foundation of civilian society. Neighbors aid neighbors, churches service those in need, communities unite to solve problems without waiting for a good political will. Alexis de Tocqueville admired this spirit 2 centuries ago, calling it essential for our democracy. The key to independency was to separate the social movement from the state. However, presently most of the gross of NGOs comes from government funds. alternatively of being organised by citizens, they became another government agenda financed by taxpayers, without the consent of taxpayers themselves.
Non-profit organizations adapt their programs to government criteria alternatively of community needs. Worse, they do the dirty work that identified government officials or EU officials fear to preach. They advance stupid ecological ideas, call for taxation increases, bans on alcohol, cigarettes, request regulation that increases production costs resulting in occupation losses, smuggle migrants whose livelihood falls on taxpayers' shoulders.
Real charity is being pushed out. all taxpayer-issued buck replaces private donations. If you give, private individuals and companies will not compete with him. This means little real philanthropy, little voluntary trust bonds and more dependence on bureaucracy and the collapse of the civilian state.
Who benefits from this? Wiadomi, those who broker the money transfer. Government money goes to large organisations filled with wives and friends of politicians and officials who advance programs supporting bureaucracy by displacing smaller social organizations. alternatively of dynamic pluralism, we are sentenced to regulation of authoritative oligarchy.
A self-government nation depends on independent civilian society alternatively than loyal and useful activists. For years now, in the WEI, we have advocated taking the position of a foundation to institutions that are financed by state money. Now you can click on the REGISTRATION tab in the text, including Poland, to see who collects money from the European Commission. I urge confronting this list with the activity of these foundations.
