“Fascism” and “Communism” was created by propaganda.
There was no distinction of importance made by Vladimir Ulyanov and
Joseph Dzugashvili (their names before their marriages
to Communism) between the followers of Zinoviev, Trotsky, Mussolini, and
Hitler. In a Totalitarian world, you are either in or out, and if you are
out, then you are to be killed, tortured until you repent, or sent off to an
isolation camp where you cannot influence anyone of consequence, or spread your
message in any way.
“Whereas the left has long attacked bourgeois institutions like family, church and property, fascism has made its peace with all three. It (very wisely) seeks political strategies that call on the organic matter of the social structure and inspire masses of people to rally around the nation as a personified ideal in history, under the leadership of a great and highly accomplished man.”
Note that he does not put “bourgeois” in quotation marks, as he would have, in this presumably edited piece, had he intended to distance himself from that sentiment. “Bourgeois” was intended, by Obama, in his guns and religion comment. Both are “bourgeois”. Both are challenges to elevating the State to the status of God, which is desirable for the God-less.
And think about what he is saying. Can we not assume he granted Obama the right to speak of “America”, and “Americans”, despite his patent distaste for both? His objection here is not that Trump is arrogating to himself a right which he, the author, does not feel should never be granted anyone.
What he is implying is that appeals to family, church and property are INHERENTLY fascistic. He is implying that authentic Liberalism isn’t Liberal, and that Leftist Sadeism IS what he wants. For the life of him, he does not understand the people who insist on clinging to the things and people and institutions which render their lives comfortable, meaningful, and pleasant.
He doesn’t get that, because he was the kid in high school nobody liked, who ate with the kids on the periphery. He doesn’t get that, because he has no authentic love in his soul. He doesn’t get that, because for him living an authentic, emotionally open life would be hell, and his only true home is abstraction.
These people make me sick. They mean the human race nothing but ill, and they lie about to everyone, including themselves.
Trump may be a fool, but he is saying things which no one else has the balls to say. If you are going to lose anyway, why not go down fighting? Why not try your best? Why not bellow out all the unspoken obvious truths which fear has taught the prudent to keep suppressed?
And these truths are not the blatantly racist sentiments we are told by Leftist propaganda MUST be on the minds of “we the ignorant”.
Here is a truth: black people have not participated equally in efforts to raise their overall standard of living.
Here is a truth: Mexicans have a country, called Mexico, and it is not the job of America to rectify all the things they are doing wrong; and it IS the job of America–the people and the government–to help rectify what WE have done wrong, which is completely botch the process of integrating blacks into society, by doing for them things they could have and should have been doing for themselves.
Here is a truth: given a fixed supply of jobs, an increase in job seekers will ALWAYS depress wages.
Here is a truth: if you add enough people to the welfare roles, who take out but do not contribute, eventually the money runs out, even if you increase taxes.
Here is a truth: the White House is occupied by someone who was raised to view the American nation and people as racist criminals who deserved punishment. He was voted for by blacks, who assumed he gave a shit, but he didn’t and he doesn’t, and he never will. He will drop his “g’s” when speaking to black audiences, but the fact that black poverty has doubled under his reign does not faze him in the slightest. It’s not even on his top ten list of priorities. Hell: it’s probably not even on the list. They probably just decide from time to time to sprinkle some goodies on black neighborhoods, and particularly just before election time. It’s been good enough in the past, why not in the future?
Here is a truth: the entire project of the Left is built on destructive lies, and if enough people would just grow the balls to shout this truth from the rooftops, at some point, the whole illusion will burst like the delusional bubble reality it is.
Edit: I looked up the author, and his self conceit is apparently somewhat Libertarian: http://fee.org/people/detail/jeffrey-a-tucker
So I have to conclude he is simply stupid, because this article is asinine. If I, as someone who reads the news and studies these topics relentlessly, cannot get to his actual point, neither, apparently, can he. He doesn’t like Trump. Fine. Who the fuck do you like, and how exactly do you propose that person get news coverage without making waves?
I like Rand Paul, but he is being avoided and rejected by pretty much every Establishment there is. Given this, what is the danger of Trump? That we might lose the election? If we put anyone but Paul (and possibly one or two others) in there, we will in any event.
Trump is providing a needed service, not by conjuring up jingoism, but by speaking truths that in any other country would be commonplace and obvious. Mexicans don’t allow illegal immigrants. Why do we?
