The newest version of this article, retitled “Totalitarianism and the State as God” published on 21 Feb 2012 at: http://anexconsview.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/totalitarianism-and-the-state-as-god/
Totalitarianism relies on one main concept–the death of belief. Not simply the belief in God, but of all belief–in one’s nation, community, church, and even self. Totalitarianism can only exist when the majority of people have no belief in a nation’s moral standards, political reality and society; who, during that crisis in belief, reach out and embrace the resolution that the totalitarian regime offers as a life-line.
This life-line is the totalitarian state itself–a Marxist Utopia. By offering the panacea of the all-knowing and providing State, the totalitarian regime seeks to supplant all the beliefs of the people with the State and its agenda. Cultural Marxism is the tool they are using.
Now, I’m sure you’ll say that’s communism, or socialism, or fascism. Those are three roads that lead to the same end–totalitarianism–like in Nazi Germany, the former Soviet Union and Red China. All three ended up as totalitarian regimes under brutal leaders–Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Mao Tse Tung.
Why has America been immune? We haven’t. As our current political situation shows. It has just been much more difficult for the progressive/socialists to implement their agenda here because of the three founding documents created and built upon by the Founders and framers. America (and Americans) has been the nation with not only the most promised Liberties and Freedoms, but the most actual Liberties and Freedoms. The collapse and subversion of the American Republic has proven to be a tough nut, but not an insurmountable one. Enter the mechanics of division and failure called “agents of change.”
To understand how the progressive/socialist agenda got a foothold in our national political dialogue, we must first look at the roots of Progressivism. According to Wikipedia:
“Progressivism is a political attitude favoring or advocating changes or reform through governmental action. Progressivism is often viewed by some conservatives, constitutionalists, and libertarians to be in opposition to conservative or reactionary ideologies.
The Progressive Movement began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in cities with settlement workers and reformers who were interested in helping those facing harsh conditions at home and at work. The reformers spoke out about the need for laws regulating tenement housing and child labor. They also called for better working conditions for women.
In the United States, the term progressivism emerged in reference to a more general response to the vast changes brought by industrialization: an alternative to both the traditional conservative response to social and economic issues and to the various more radical streams of socialism and anarchism which opposed them. Political parties, such as the Progressive Party, organized at the start of the 20th century, and progressivism made great strides under American presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Today, most progressive politicians in the United States associate with the Democratic Party or the Green Party of the United States. In the US Congress there exists the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which is often in opposition to the more conservative Democrats, who form the Blue Dogs caucus. Some of the more notable progressive members of Congress have included Ted Kennedy, Russ Feingold, Dennis Kucinich, Barney Frank, Alan Grayson, Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, John Conyers, John Lewis, and Paul Wellstone.[...]”
So, here we see the wolf presented itself in sheep’s clothing–publicly benign: an attitude of aid and charity to the down-trodden. This is how the “One Worlders” achieved a toe-hold in America. They have exploited the toe-hold and incrementally inserted their agenda into our national political dialogue. The tool with which such has been (and is being) accomplished is Cultural Marxism. I’ve written on this subject before as has my compatriot Sardaukar’s Pitbull whose article may be found here.
Their aims have been four-fold:
- Infiltrate and control education. By supplanting free exploration of knowledge the agents of change direct all education into those areas that are of their choosing, supportive of their long term goal and repressive of free thought.
- Suppress religious freedom. The agents of change bring about legal challenges to the Freedom of Religion (ACLU, Madeline Murray O’Hair’s American Atheists, etc.) and pervert it to a perception of freedom from religion. Supplant the traditional religions with invented ones and prevent prayer and expressions of belief in public settings.
- Infiltrate and control political parties. Through the powerful tools of graft and pork-barrel politics young politicians are subverted and indoctrinated (or blackmailed) into compliance with the progressive/socialist agenda.
- Infiltrate and control the media. By subverting the media the agents of change remove the ability of the people to know truth. A subverted and complicit media is an incipient tyrants best ally.
So there we have it, the four prongs of the attack on America. It worked in fascist Italy; it worked in communist Russia; it worked in Fascist Germany; and it worked in Red China.
It’s working here. Cultural Marxism affects every facet of American life today– from TV commercials to French Fries at McDonalds.
The Cultural Marxists are leading us to a manufactured crisis–one of such scope and scale the majority of the people will lose all belief in our Republic and her founding principles. This is where the progressive/socialist agenda steps in with a promising scenario that these uninformed, uneducated and manipulated masses will grasp out of desperation. Then will come the “fundamental change of America” Obama promised. Will it be a financial collapse? Probably. As my compatriot Sardaukar’s Pitbull wrote earlier (available here):
“Everything Barry is doing fits the model of a Marxist insurrection. Consider this:
- Nationalize major sectors of the economy (see bailouts)
- Redistribute wealth (see UHC Bill)
- Discredit opposition (see recent DHS memorandum on right-wing groups)
- Censorship (see Hate Crimes legislation)
- Gun ownership/control (see UN Small Arms Treaty)
- Constabulary force (see Barry’s Civilian Defense Force and Reserve Officers Corp from UHC bill)[...]”
He’s a pretty savvy guy and a true Patriot.
The State as “Savior” is what will be extended as the life-line thrown to the manipulated masses. A centrally-planned and controlled society that is “diverse” and “multicultural” and will address the “needs” of the “workers”. Not a melting pot society where all have the Liberty to Pursue Happiness, to gain knowledge freely, to strive equally towards our own individual goals and dreams. A State where a ruling elite determines what your “needs” are; how and where you are educated (and what you are allowed to learn); how you enjoy your time off from your regulated employment; and how much you are allowed to earn.
Totalitarianism relies on one main concept–the death of belief. Not simply the belief in God, but of all belief–in one’s nation, community, church, and even self. Totalitarianism can only exist when the majority of people have no belief in a nation’s moral standards, political reality, and society–during that crisis in belief, reach out and embrace the resolution that the totalitarian regime offers as a life-line.
This life-line is the totalitarian state itself—A Totalitarian Marxist Utopia.
