I have had a bad chest and head cold for a few days, and I can’t wrap my mind around any deep or clear thinking. It just won’t go there.
Some back when you can. This is huge. I’m speaking to some brainiacs and spiritual giants who are helping me clarify these thoughts. There may be a counterinsurgency effort we can take that will A) surprise you B) annoy you C) make you leave the conversation doubting my effectiveness, but hopefully D) bring you around to embrace the method.
Here's my perspective on the Gramscian meme and methodology: neither Gramsci nor any of his acolytes, adherents and fellow travelers - Marcuse, Lerner, Alinsky, the Cloward-Piven duo, et al - truly understood just how successfully how their ideas have been co-opted, compromised and hijacked by the will to power driven monsters who now are within months of achieving total control of the apparatus of the American state.
These are the eliminationists, the killers without conscience about which I have written. We can scarcely comprehend their desire and yes, their need to revel in mass murder, slaughter and atrocity for its own sake. Those who who think that way are the product of a toxic convergence of two vast cultural currents - one with its roots in Bronze Age antiquity: Quigley's Pakistani-Peruvian Axis. The other, what I believe to be a product of the fall of the Roman Empire and its subsequent failure to rebuild itself: the Scandinavian-Slavonic axis.
It's a civilization-destroying, freedom crushing combination of the psycopathy and cruelty of the former and the nihilism and hatred of this world of the latter. Both share the outloook that treats human beings as things animals or machines. Both share the desire for power as the means and slaughter and atrocity as the highest expression of their values. This is the madness that haunts the modern world today. This is what inhabits the imaginations of those for whom Marxist mountebanks like Obama are merely the front men.
George Orwell, speaking through O'Brien in h 1984 exposed this monstrous mindset:
"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain.""Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty and then we shall fill you with ourselves."
"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."
