Let’s imagine that a complete societal collapse occurs in the near future. With New York high school students hunting down their teachers for supporting Israel, the FBI continuing its own hunt of J6 political protesters, and rising violent crime throughout the United States, this scenario does not seem so remote.
Unfettered illegal immigration and the replacement of Western civilization with a suicidal devotion to some amorphous, multicultural pustule have shattered the unifying bonds of a shared culture. Institutionalized racism in the form of government, academic, and corporate DEI initiatives that have replaced merit with skin color and oppression index scores has divided the population even further. The demonization of mainstream political opinion as “extremist,” “far right,” or even as prima facie evidence for “domestic terrorism” has ensured that roughly one-half of the body politic can no longer express its views without threats of criminal sanction and career retaliation.
Any American who opposes Marxist globalism, Deep State imperialism, bureaucratic tyranny, or central bank money manipulation is labeled a threat. Any American who strenuously defends free speech, religious liberty, private property, the right to self-defense, and any other personal freedom that guards the individual against intrusions from the State is labeled a threat. Any American who objects to the global elites’ obsession with “global warming” or who believes real science is never capable of reaching a dogmatic “consensus” is labeled a threat. In other words, the U.S. government and its globalist allies view at least a couple hundred million Americans as “enemies of the State.”
In functioning democratic republics, vicious ideological disagreement does not normally set a nation on fire. Political factions with great hostilities toward each other can coexist when political outcomes are determined by a set of agreed-upon rules. Democratic elections, republican virtues such as civil respect for political minorities

All of the pillars of civilization are under attack. What do these attackers think things will be like if things collapse?
The ones organizing it think they will have a neo-Marxist dictatorship with them at the top. Looking at Obama et al.
Book mark
a federal case or class action suit should be brought against the executive branch for willfully ignoring and indeed breaking federal immigration law by using taxpayer dollars to pay for men and equipment to move illegals randomly around the country (mostly to red districts) unbeknownst to the citizens of those states.

unfortunately, the author is correct on all points
“The ones organizing it think they will have a neo-Marxist dictatorship with them at the top.”
I think it’s more like fascism than Marxism.
Fascism is a state-industry symbiotic alliance. They each scratch each other’s back. Fascism, unlike Marxism is not anti-capitalism. They know better than to kill the golden goose - they keep it domesticated, but don’t kill it.
It’s essentially what China is today. A one party fascist state.
And it’s what Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were. And they did rather well at the beginning. But then they let their success go to their heads and wanted to conquer the world. That was their downfall.
We seem to be heading in the same direction with our uni-party.
See the Hayek quote on my FR profile page. Third one down, two paragraphs.
There isn’t a nickel’s difference between the two, fundamentally. They’re both totalitarians. You could argue that those two were national socialists, while today’s totalitarians are internationalists, like the communists. There are different nuances and wrinkles depending on how you look at it, but the key point is that they are totalitarians who do not believe in limited government of, by, and for the people.
Yes they’re both single party dictatorships that are not fans of unrestricted individual freedom (neither are we, BTW) and, most importantly they don’t subscribe to the “rule of law” (meaning laws apply equally to everybody, from the top guy tothe lowest - we leave something to be desired in that regard as well).
Where they are very different is in what I pointed out. Fascism, to a large extent, embraces capitalism and private property, whereas for communism both are anathema.
This makes a huge difference in the success of the country and people’s standard of living. The best example is Mao’s decrepit China (when it was truly communist and people were starving) vs today’s fascist China which is about to pass the US in GDP where people are well dressed, happy, eating at fine restaurants, many driving bmws, Cadillacs, Mercedes, Teslas, etc. A country that soon will surpass the US in number of billionaires.
If you can’t tell the difference between communist China and today’s fascist China, or think that there is only a nickel worth of difference, you are delusional. It’s not a nickel’s difference, more like billions.
I recommend you take a couple weeks vacation there. It will open your eyes and do wonders for your political education.
