[...] ~ Continued from The Marxist Revival (1): The Lie at the Bottom ~ “… But stay awake now, if you must My story’s just beginning. For out of wars come revolutions And the masses now were winning ..” That piece of mad poetry called “Back to the Future” from the site that can only be termed An Ode To Marxism, should be taken seriously: just like Al Zawahiri M.D. assures us again and again he is just seeking the global Khalifate that has been on the cards since the eighth century, succeeded up to a point (north Africa, Middle and Near East) and failed on a number of other occasions (Al Andalus, Tours, Vienna), the Marxist international revolution has also not given up with the crumbling of a mere wall, or just one branch (economy) of the total theory being discredited. The pathological poem has affirmed my suspicion of a strategy of setting the Muslim branch of the Unholy Alliance on the capitalist West in an endeavour to erect the long aspired International on its ruins. To the Postmodern nihilists and the KGB ideologically demoralised usefuls it’s all the same anyway: bell tower or minaret, souk or market, whatever … one act of treason in the good cause is as good as another. In reaction to the last botched Jihadi attacks by ‘the doctors’ on London and Glasgow last week bourgeois shock and outrage have been expressed over physicians unethically acting against the Hippocratic oath. Dr Sanity has an interesting analysis on the psychological level. Whatever there may be said about the Hippocratic Oath being considered outmoded and outdated (of course), or Muslims having their own vows in that respect (of course), is a measure of how little is understood of the Counter-Enlightenment branch of philosophy. Yes, there is a war on – but more importantly and fundamentally, let me repeat: Counter-Enlightenment philosophies – apart from them all having A Global Ideal Worth Dying For – are Collectivist, are Anti Realism and Reason, Socialist, Subjectivist (relativist), have socially constructed ‘narratives’ or themes of whatever Oppressed group(s) versus a common Oppressor, and don’t balk at the use of politically (or religiously) justified violence under the guideline of The Noble End Justifies Any Means (see chart II: The Straight Red Line). Does that sound like people tending to suffer scruples over ethics, of acting against a Hippocratic Oath? On the contrary, it may even encourage them, as having made a personal, solemn sacrifice to the Collective Ideal. Today a number of pop concerts under the catching title Live Earth is under way, spread strategically all over the face of the earth: Tokio, Sydney, New York, Washington, London, Amsterdam, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai and Hamburg. Istanbul has been cancelled for lack of funds and interest, while on Antarctica a group of ’scientists’ makes a contribution against their own profession by taking up musical instruments in a dilettante act of symbolism, thereby securing project funding for years to come. The aim of the series of events – according to the organisers, among others Al Gore and actrice Cameron Diaz – is to raise awareness about glowball warming. The multicultural kitch is living evidence that environmentalism goes hand in hand with the narrative of Rousseau’s noble savage. Let’s translate this along the Straight Red Line guidelines: the whole project lives and breaths Subjectivism (Primacy of Consciousness – see Part 1) and Collectivism; as the climate, it is universal in character, transcending the mere nation state. It’s dictatorial tendencies are betrayed by the silencing, stone-walling and demonisation of dissenters. It is directed against the common Oppressor: capitalism (industry, free trade), reason (science and technology) and by extension the archetypal wanton, white, wicked patriarch of the West who’s grasping, self-serving activities are the cause of all these problems, for which the Oppressed Subjectivist minority groups now pay the price. The global devastation’s affecting the whole of oppressed humanity and every other living creature on the face of the planet. It carries high grade ‘original sin’ as “all animals, including us” produce the vilified CO2. Thank Gaia we can buy that guilt off by paying environmental taxes and by offering other minor personal libations and sacrifices. The frightening thing is, what used to be an immature pet project on the fringes of popular culture, with the baby boomers moving into government it has become official policy of a compulsory nature. If there ever was a Cause to warrant world wide control, this is it! ~ To be continued: Part 3 ~ [...]

[...] While to some Libertarians politics at times may seem an exciting game for adults, to the Collective Left the Cause of the Oppressed is never a relative matter: to them it’s a deadly serious affair, quite literately so. Since Communism failed, the words are heard no more. Only rarely apologetics abound, as are belated memorials to the approximate 110 million victims, whereas trivialization is never far off. Occasionally common rootsare laid bare. De-Marxification isn’t common practice in the sense that de-Nazification and de-Baathification were; there is an euphemistic term: ‘lustrations’, taunted by crypto adherents and hapless MSM as ‘pogroms’ or ‘witch hunts’ in a way that prosecution of Nazis and the Pinochets of this world, would be unthinkable. Clearly a case of double standard, but then who would be mad enough to speak up for the Collective Socialist Right? It doesn’t earn points with the usefuls like the defense of the Leftist variety. The three generations of Western students of the baby boom and after that were ideologically subverted by the KGB, haven’t dissolved into thin air: they keep themselves occupied with pushing the Cause by other strategies and proceed covertly, going under an epithet of something cryptic like Postmoderns: Multiculturalists, Deconstructionists, and other higher branches of Leftist thought, as Critical Theorists at university language departments, or some other form of Marxist Hermetics. Surprisingly – just when everyone had forgotten, some 15 years since the collapse of communism at the hand of the Mujaheddin, or so they claim – we are at present experiencing a bit of a revival that regretfully very few people recognize for what it is. Postmodern philosophy – starting from Rousseau – is based on one very fundamental lie, that is as immature as is opportune. Let me ask you this: is a baby born, already fully aware and self-conscious, thinking – say, at what age shall I first light up – or is the boot on the other foot and comes awareness considerable time after birth, a child being initially quite the solipsist? I think most sane people will argue the latter. Not so our Counter-Enlighteners, among whom we find the current crypto Marxist Postmoderns (see Chart I, The Straight Red Line). They hold the former view, what I term the Master of the Universe fallacy (PMF number 13), and Ayn Randcalls the ‘primacy of consciousness’ (as opposed to the ‘primacy of existence’: first you are, then you become aware, not vice versa). This subjective idea was first coined so that the existence of God could be averted, but it also comes in handy when occasionally someone attempts to rationalize an irrational Ideology. Its logical consequence is, you see, that no such thing as one single, objective reality, valid for everyone that is sharing this universe, exists. Your own particular version of reality depends on what you are (class, race, culture, etc.), and where you are. Enter subjective minority groups with a common victimhoodto be compensated in proportionto their perceived inequality, enter Relativism, enter cultural Marxism, also known as Multiculturalism: Reality or The Truth does not exist, all ideas, cultures, religions being equally valid, except of course all that are based on “the white, rich, Christian male narrative” because that is exactly what the struggle is directed against: the quintessential archetype of the authoritarian, dogmatic, Indo-European patriarch. It is a critical fallacy that runs through all Postmodern and Counter-Enlightenment thought (see Chart I The Straight Red Line for the common characteristics, for example Anti Reason). Ideas have consequences, George Weigel famously asserted; it certainly has, for 110 million fatalities. But I’ll let you in on a closely guarded secret: the whole thing is a ruse to fool and confuse the really usefuls; the top Postmodern elite, like the former Polit Bureau members, are not so relativised as to start believing their own lies. Call it a strategy of deep level misinformation to provide rational support for the irrational Ideology. The lofty Aim, the noble Cause justifies any means, you see – and how else can you hope to whip the complacent, lazy masses into action? One poetic Marxistlifts a tip of the niqaab, a hot contender for the miraculous existence of the Unholy Alliance with Radical Islam, to have another crack�at�Revived Revolution! [...]
