Those individuals which do a lot of thinking about the future, often associate themselves with the title of futurist. What many people do not understand is that futurism, socialism, and fascism are actually tied together with many historical examples. Still, one has to ask can you be a futurist without being a socialist? This is a very interesting point, and there is a group called the Futurists in the United States and most of the people in the group do hold socialist views.

Many of them classify themselves as Democrats or liberals, but they really are not liberals by strict definition, as most truly are socialist leaning and they wish to put controls on to the society and get everyone thinking a certain way to live together in harmony, yet at the same time they often negate all the human characteristics of mankind.

The group itself uses many socialist type controls and promises people who join the group that they will teach them how to think correctly to solve problems for the future and predict it. Interestingly enough, this is quite problematic because if someone is predicting the future, and telling everyone how to think, they are actually creating a self-fulfilling prophecy and if that prophecy is tied to socialist tendencies and leads to Fascist dictation of how the civilization and society will run, then you can see the problem.

Folks should not be so awestruck by futurist or by their purported wisdom. If we are to follow many of these futurists and their ideas for the future we will find that they will micromanage our lives and end up taking away all of our freedoms for the benefit of their created utopias in the process. Indeed they will claim they are creating the greatest of utopias that can last for 1000 years, but in reality no one in their right mind who understands what freedom truly as would ever want to live there.

Sure we can create a wonderful beehive of humanity; but quite frankly that doesn't interest me, and aren't the bees dying off anyway. Please consider all this.
