Margaret Thatcher

 Margaret Thatcher

"If it is once again one against 48, then I am sorry for the 48."

Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of Great Britain in the 1970s and 1980s. Thatcher was a conservative who did not empathize with socialists and communists. She was criticized and reviled by socialists for being a strong woman with conservative values. She was called the "iron lady" by socialists probably alluding to her discipline and repudiation of socialism

Thatcher would create legislation that favored private businesses while departing from nationalizing private businesses. This created incentives and increased industriousness that led to a better economy. Socialists like to nationalize private businesses so that there are no incentives and no competition. Thatcher's reforms improved the economy.

Because of her reliance on individuality and dedication, she was envied by socialists. When revilings, insults, envy, and hate were not enough to dampen the iron lady, socialists attempted to intimidate, threaten, and even wanted to assassinate her. Despite all of that, Thatcher did not allow the socialists to discourage her. Great Britain had one of the best economies during her time being Prime Minister.

Similar to Churchill in fighting against socialism and socialists, Thatcher was also persecuted. Despite envy and opposition, Thatcher was able to persist with motivation and dedication to her conservative values. She helped Great Britain by securing an amazing economy that allowed for jobs and stability. She fought against socialists and was also important in the collapse of the Soviet Union along with Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagen, and Aleksandr Solzhenytsin. 

Persevering Despite Ad Hominem Attacks and Slander

"I always cheer up immensely if a political attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack me personally, it means they have not a single political argument left."

Margaret Thatcher was one of the most impressive leaders of the 1970s and 1980s. Being conservative instead of a socialist, she was envied and reviled by communists. Because she was impressive and disciplined, she was reviled and even slandered. She was heavily criticized by socialists who disdained her honesty, individuality, non-conformism, and hatred of socialism. Thatcher cared about her citizens and was given multiple discouraging nicknames by socialists for being amazing and also helping others. 

Thatcher was not thin skinned either and endured hostilities from enviers and socialist homosexuals (who probably emvied her courage). Thatcher described that even with ad hominem attacks, she was going to persevere. She stated that if the opposition (socialists) needed to speak lies and criticized her with slander instead of her arguments, then that spoke volumes of the opposition's lack of veracity and truth. Thatcher did not get discouraged despite being constantly discouraged by name calling and revilings. Thatcher was one of the greatest Prime Ministers of England and kept fighting for her ideals

Individualism and Persistence

Margaret Thatcher was able to persist despite having opposition from the socialists and communists. Despite being a formidable and amazing Prime Minister in the 70s and 80s, she was continually bashed for not being a socialist. There was also the envy that she could be a woman and be an impressive Prime Minister. Thatcher also was humble and disciplined.  She was envied for being an example of rugged individualism when socialists were attempting to make individualism seem outdated. Despite revilings, insults, and condescension thrown her way, she kept remaining positive. 

She improved the economy by reforming state owned businesses and allowing businesses to be private enterprises. This was also not favored by socialists. Thatcher said that if it was her against 48, she would keep persisting despite opposition. Socialists do not like capitalism and individualism. Thatcher was able to describe how one person can cause much improvement in the world. Thatcher taught us that while socialists do not know how to fight one versus one, we can persevere with motivation and courage despite the existence of a corrupt and unequal system. (This has been seen in multiple countries and not just Great Britain.) Socialists disdain individualism because then their lie of socialism comes tumbling down. And socialists did disdain Thatcher for being impressive.

"I think, historically, the term 'Thatcherism' will be seen as a compliment.'"
