4. Planning
Implementing systematic thinking about the managing of our affairs and the whole of our lives

5. Community planning - Abandons Personal Decision Making
Abandonment of personal decision making became common in socialist Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Planners claimed they could handle common problems with foresight
Planners actually create economic problems by promising to relieve us of solving our own economic problems

6. A Former Marxist Economist: Robert L. Heilbroner
Capitalism organizes the material affairs of humankind more satisfactorily than Socialism, because…
Inequitable and irresponsible marketplaces distribute better than planned economies

7. Over time, planners will never have enough information to carry out the allocation of resources reliably
Freely moving markets are superior to any order the human mind can design, because
They create spontaneous order and more efficient allocation of resources than intentional design or planning

8. Planning Controls Us Cradle Grave
Excessive planning structures give bureaucrats [staffs of experts] discretion and coercive power [backed by the authority of government and non-government entities] to impact how we are and will be allowed to live and work, and embraces all activities of our lives from cradle to grave

10. Community planning - Assault on our Intellectual Liberty
IMAGE:
The more government “plans,” the more difficult planning becomes for individual people.
In NE OH, ‘scenario planning’ is consciously directing our resources to conform with NEOSCC’s views of who should have what, and on what terms, and outcomes will be an assault on our intellectual liberty.
NEOSCC planners are directing distribution to their chosen and preferred communities and groups, eliminating the general public’s power –that would be us - of choice.

11. Community planning - Assault on our Security
Bureaucrats generally claim that they are compelled to accomplish this planning due to circumstances beyond their control
When intellectual leaders grant planned security to favored groups, they increase the insecurity of the rest of the population – this is why we are here today
Historically, achieving security by state-supported restrictive measures has produced regressive transformations of societies
Extolling security at the expense of freedom is lethal to society.

12. Rule of Law – Should Safeguard Equality
The “Rule of Law” is to safeguard equality before the law.
Central planning is counter to the “Rule of Law.”
Under central planning, the government
Is not impartial
Ceases to allow individuals the fullest development of their individual personalities
Deliberately discriminates between particular needs of different people

13. Rule of Law – Should Safeguard Equality
When laws and regulations authorize a board or commission to regulate and implement what it pleases, its actions are legal
BUT ITS ACTIONS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE RULE OF LAW

14. Competition vs. Planning
IMAGE:
IMAGE:
Competition dispenses with intentional social control, and does not require coercive or arbitrary intervention of any planning authority.
Planning and competition can only coexist by planning FOR competition, not planning AGAINST it.

15. De Tocqueville: Socialism ≠ Democracy They are Incompatible
IMAGE:
Socialism, an entirely authoritarian dictatorial form of government, recognized as the gravest threat to freedom.
Socialists believe that our competitive economic life should be substituted for and ‘consciously directed,’ by ‘economic planning.’
Historically, movements which begin as Socialist end in Totalitarianism.
Per De Tocqueville, democratic republics stand in irreconcilable conflict with Socialism.

16. De Tocqueville: Socialism ≠ Democracy They are Incompatible
Democracy seeks equality in liberty,
Socialism seeks equality in restraint, servitude and outcomes.

17. Collective vs. Individual Freedom
‘Collective freedom’ is not the freedom of the members of society, but the unlimited freedom of planners to do with society what they please.
The quest for a great utopian society is not achievable, and ultimately leads to the destruction of freedom.

18. Dictatorships Evolve from Central Planning
Planning leads to dictatorship because dictatorship is the most effective instrument of coercion… and is essential to successful central planning.
Planning centralizes economic power through political power, and creates a degree of dependence hardly distinguishable from slavery.

22. Enthusiasm for ‘Organizing’ is the Wrong Choice
Hayek: Planning heads us in the wrong direction
adoration for the state vs. the individual
fatalistic acceptance of unscientific ‘inevitable trends’
enthusiasm for the ‘organization’ of everything, which we call planning

23. Planning Heightens Power
Planners Require Centralized Power
Planners must create power – power over men wielded by other men
Power is infinitely heightened by concentrating it through planning

24. Knowledge is also Power, the first weapon in our arsenal of defense.
Intellectual Dishonesty – no matter how clear the evidence, people can always find an interpretation that will allow them to cling to what they want to believe – ignoring the evidence
ID afflicts large segments of our population and prevents correct decision making
Facing true situations based on facts requires courage and honesty.

“Energy regulatory and legislative action… will destroy wealth, increase the price of virtually everything, drive industries overseas where they can pollute even more, substantially grow government and greatly restrict personal freedom.
In 2010: We will need new energy technologies that do not yet exist.
…you can be sure the solutions will come.”
