No joke.
I say we drop the Nazi buzzword to which we've been conditioned to salivate like good like Gramscian organic intellectuals and call the eugencists bastards out as the Biological Robber Barons of Utopia they are.
Read an interesting line in Camus's "THE REBEL" the other night which applies in spades where eugencists are concerned: "They love a man who does not yet exist."
Probably the most deadly "human" compassion there is.
I'm for losing the nazi buzzwords...
I did not see a lot of posters accusing others of being Nazis, I did see alot of posts trying to draw an analogy to the Nazis. And I thought the argument had merit. Not a slam dunk, at least not yet, but worth considering.
You said..."Read an interesting line in Camus's "THE REBEL" the other night which applies in spades where eugencists are concerned: "They love a man who does not yet exist."

Great little gem of a post...
Someday...time permitting...I had intended to do some research and do a post on postmodernism...and its relationship to many of the cultural, political, and economic trends we see.
I think that perhaps you may be a good person to do that thread.... I might have called it 'Postmodern Cultural Nihilism'
Let me get this straight, you're quoting (Marxist-derivitive) Existentialism on humanity? Existentialism is a gateway philosopy to Marxism-Leninism. It is foremost materialist. It subordinates humanity to material circumstance.
..."They love a man who does not yet exist."
Isn't character, society and even civilization, based upon the pursuit of ideals more than simply material necessity?
