Ideological Fascism

We should start numbering the multitude of academic ironies we cover. Here's the latest: Those most willing to heap the "fascist" label on their foes, may be most guilty of it.

The Daily Caller's Ginni Thomas recently interviewed Oklahoma Wesleyan University President Dr. Everett Piper and asked about the growing intolerance and protests on college campuses, which he called "ideological fascism." He strongly believed that ideas have consequences: good ideas lead to good culture, behavior and community. Bad ideas do the opposite, he noted. "What we're seeing in the academy today," said Piper, "at the university and college campus across the land is not academic freedom. It is ideological fascism." He continued, "You must submit, you must comply, you must be one of us, you must agree, and if you don't, we will silence you, we will expel you." Piper lamented, "There is no intelligence allowed [on college campuses]…You'll be expelled if you disagree." He added:

"In fact, disagreement has become synonymous with hate. You can't have a robust conversation of ideas any longer in these places and here's why: it's because we've abandoned the idea and concept of truth being the judge of the debate."

What set him apart, Piper pointed out, was, "I don't want you being the judge of the debate, I want truth to be the judge." Adding to that, Piper said, "That's the irony of the conservative Christian community today." He continued, "As a conservationist, as a conservative, I'm grabbing a hold and conserving and preserving and defending the time-tested truths of God as the context of the debate rather than trusting politics or power to shut it down." There is much irony in the debate on college campuses, he said, "It is the irony of the day that the conservative is really the classical liberal." Piper believed, "The conservative is the classical liberal because I believe in liberty and liberation and freedom and justice defined by God, not you."

Of course colleges promote the practice ideological fascism, because that is the true function of a majority of these colleges were set up for in the first place. Education was never the true goal.

When ideas do not stand up to truth then that is the only way for those ideas to come out on top. That is what it is all about, to win the argument, silence the opposition, and promote a certain ideology, which destroys capitalism and western society, as the standard bearer.

"It is the irony of the day that the conservative is really the classical liberal." Piper believed, "The conservative is the classical liberal because I believe in liberty and liberation and freedom and justice defined by God, not you."

It is not ironic, it only seems so because the language has been debased.

American conservatives are by and large classic liberals. American conservatism, constitutionalism, is classic liberalism grounded in a Judeo-Christian world view.

What we often call liberalism is not. Leftism, fascism, Marxism, socialism, statism, but liberalism, no.

So true. Education was NEVER the goal after the 1860s in America except in rare instances like with Booker T. Washington (true Christians). After the Humanist/atheist John Dewey, education was deconstructed-—destroyed. These people BANNED Truth (God) and forced their irrational, evil “faith”— atheism/secularism— onto the masses. “Mandatory” schools were only for indoctrination (control) and create unnatural emotions (conditioned responses). (Common Sense became impossible).

Only Christianity gave us Free Will and the Age of Wisdom (abstract, profound thinking on the level of Newton/Galileo/Pascal/Descartes/John Locke). It couldn’t have happened with any other Theology/faith. All people have a faith but Christianity became the most debated, argued and Natural one—which created the concepts of “laws of nature and nature’s God” and that of individualism, which is non-existent in all other (collective) ideologies. Thinking outside the box (true freedom) is not allowed in other cultures.

The “skools” are to control the beliefs and attitudes of the masses-—make them so DUMB, they will be interchangeable oxen, and will believe “snow is black” when they are done destroying the Minds of the children with drugs and operant conditioning (psychological warfare/emotional trauma—removal from the Natural Family).

Here are the exact words of Fichte in 1810 that everyone should memorize. These Germans educated (radicalized) our future “educators” like John Dewey and Stanley Hall—”Leaders of American “modern” Education (LOL):

“Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished ... The social psychologist of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”
