The fundamental mistake made by most American conservatives, both old and new, is to think of communism solely as a violent ideology designed to abolish private property. During the so-called Cold War, they imagined that by mimicking some communist practices they could tone down the very real communist threat and elicit some Soviet sympathy. They should have been more careful what they wished for. The reason why communism fell apart in the early 1990s in the communist East was due to the fact that communist ideologemes, such as the idea of progress, economic equality, and the instauration of a borderless and multiracial society, had been more successfully put into practice in the capitalist West than in the communist East — albeit under a less abrasive name and without resorting to a large scale state terror.
For many Americans, surviving communism is therefore a
contradiction in terms given that they have already fully aligned themselves to
the System, i.e., “the deep state”, oblivious to its repressive
crypto-communistic principles. Unsurviving communism, by contrast, is a destiny
of a hapless few who are prepared to live a life of dissent — and also pay a
heavy price for their non-conformist views.
Modern day neo-communist BLM and antifascist activists in the US
know well that parading with the name of communism could backfire. Their
self-ascribed title “antifa” resonates far better in the ears and eyes of the
modern media. Many of them, including many of their Democratic party overlords
are heirs to a now defunct Homo sovieticusspecies
who once thrived in communist countries of Eastern Europe. The twin brotherhood
between former Homo sovieticus and the present Homo americanushas
had a very long history irrespective of their often feigned feuds and fake
semantic posturing.[1] Given
that the US, since its inception, has also been involved in a large number of
world-improving projects, not least its century-long messianic virtue-signaling
adventures aimed at elevating foreign peoples world-wide to a global City on
the Hill, it was to be expected that at some point the communist temptation
would gain in popularity in a new garb and hit home in the US. For example, US
campuses continue to be the main breeding ground of antifa activists, having
now more of their adepts than campuses in Western Europe where, over the last
decade, there has been a noticeable recycling to populism and nationalism by
many former leftist, but also Jewish authors (Michel Onfray, Alain Soral, Eric Zemmour).
In post-communist Eastern Europe, organized antifa groups and their LGBT
sidekicks are virtually non-existent, except when temporarily hired and
exported by EU or State Department-sponsored NGOs in order to unseat some local
populist and anti-globalist ruler. Hatred against antifas in all segments of
East European society is understandable given that for many the term
antifascism rings the bell of communism. Worth recalling is that words and
locutions containing nouns or modifiers related to the word “antifascism” were
in surplus in all official communist documents in Eastern Europe, even on
marriage certificates, lasting well into the late 1950s. During the Cold War,
and without any exception, all East European dissidents were squarely depicted
in communist court proceedings as fascist agents.
The brainwashing of young American masses by the word antifascism
owes much to the early Bolshevik agitator Leo Trotsky and his collection of
essays under the title What is Fascism and how to
Fight it,[2] in which
he depicts fascism as the ultimate stage of capitalism and showing how
communists in the USA must smash it:
The backwardness of the United State working class is only a
relative term. In very many important respects, it is the most progressive
working class of the world, technically and in its standard of living…The next
historic wave in the United States will be the wave of radicalism of the
masses, not fascism. Of course, the war can hinder the radicalization for some
time, but then it will give to the radicalization a more tremendous tempo and
swing.[3]
The recent antifa riots in many large cities in USA are also a
belated follow-up on riots carried out by antifa “sixty-eighters”
half a century ago all over the West.[4] They
were successful in imposing communist cultural hegemony in higher education and
in paving the way, a decade later, for the political takeover by the Left.
Sixty-eighters spawned the modern-day antifa. However, neither the psychology
of sixty-eighters, nor their modern antifa offshoots can be fully grasped if
one loses sight of the world order created jointly by the capitalist US and the
communist Soviet Union in 1945, both being part of the common antifascist
block. In the final analysis, the entire West, with America at the helm, is
unable to repudiate modern antifa activists, let alone declare them a terrorist
organisation, unless it first revises its own writing of the history of World
War II and overhauls its own system of liberal governance.
The antifa mindset
Apart from the Gulag system and the topography of its countless
killing fields, Communism must first and foremost be analysed as an
anthropology, or better yet as a widespread social pathology, albeit savored
and craved subconsciously by a very large number of its future victims. The
obsession with the idea of equality and equal redistribution of goods and
capital is as old as humanity itself irrespective of the name this obsession
may carry in different countries and epochs. Several undeservedly forgotten authors
such as Claude Polin and Alexander Zinoviev, already quoted in TOO on
several occasions, long ago noted that it is a deadly mistake to view communism
as the terror of the few against many; rather, “it is the terror of all against
all at every moment.”
As the flower and crowning glory of communality, communism
represents a type of society which is nearest and dearest to the masses no
matter how dreadful the potential consequences for them might be.[5]
Long ago I wrote, based on the analyses of these and other authors
dealing with the communist anthropology, that the faith in communism
presupposes first and foremost a peculiar mindset whose historical realization
has been made possible by primordial egalitarian impulses followed by negative
socio-biological selection. Throughout man’s biocultural evolution egalitarian
instincts have been held in check by cultural institutions and racial in-group
constraints. With the advent of the mass multiracial system, deceptively called
democracy, resistance to these animalistic and inborn instincts is becoming
virtually impossible.
The contemporary USA is a good place to study the proto-communist
mindset. The very abstract eighteenth-century
Enlightenment-egalitarian-inspired statement in the Declaration of Independence
that “all men are created equal” was bound to open up a Pandora box of wishful
thinking all over Europe, also opening, two hundred years later, the floodgates
of non-European immigration. Those do-good romantic Jeffersonian words had a
specific meaning in his epoch and for his fellow travellers; today they are
being differently interpreted by US lawyers of Mexican, Asian or African
ancestry, let alone by their illiterate or semi-literate, lower-IQ clients
arriving in droves to America from Asia, Africa, or Latin America.
It is also a great self-delusion common to many American
conservatives, both old and new, to imagine that they can avert the rise of
communism by preaching the capitalist gospel of permanent economic growth.
Contrary to a well-entrenched communist-Trotskyite dogma, communism can very
well thrive in and within a capitalist free market economy. In view of the
coming shortages of resources and the surge in the surplus of uprooted people,
the communist experiment seems to be the only functional and viable system for
the future of the world. Unlike any system hitherto in the history of mankind
communism offers an effortless society, psychological predictability and
economic security, however meager, bleak or frugal they may all be. Worse,
communism increases the basest human instincts, which can best be seen in the
violent behavior of US antifa rioters. Communism is the ideal system for any
multiracial state composed of gregarious masses, consumer-minded citizens and
lower-IQ individuals.
It is another well-spread hoax doctored up by Leon Trotsky that
communists are archenemies of capitalism. The case of modern China, a country
the size of the US, bears witness that in an overpopulated society facing
scarce resources, the communist ruling oligarchy can work hand in hand with
liberal free marketeers, creating large differences in wealth. Similar to
Germany’s numerous antifa organisations, including the powerful and well-funded
German Amadeu Antonio
Stiftung , the activities of modern day antifa in America
are also profusely funded by wealthy financiers, international corporations,
and individuals, with a billionaire George Soros being the best known. Finally,
from the geopolitical perspective it must not be forgotten that antifascist
guerillas during World War II in Europe would have not lasted a week had they
not been supported by the US and UK massive financial and military aid handed
out to their sponsor in the Soviet Union.
Most American conservatives are supportive of communistic legal
practices such as affirmative action, forgetting that the same “positive”
racial discrimination legislation, albeit differently worded, was part and
parcel of the Soviet system whose goal was to strike a balance between 16
former Soviet republics containing dozens of competing and feuding
nationalities and ethnic groups. The passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964
was quite in line with the American Cold War wish to neutralize the Soviet
threat by doubling down on the same Soviet legal practices, that is, the
re-enactment of the multiracial system already laid down in the Soviet
constitution of 1936. But, unlike in the Soviet Union — the dogma of
multiculturalism and legal provisions on affirmative action are still alive and
kicking in America.
The good news is that even if American communists, under the
banner of Antifascism or Democratism, or Liberalism come to power in the US
they will soon start eliminating each other. This would be fully in accordance
with the iron law of egalitarian entropy, a fact often overlooked by many
analysts of communism. The still-strong myth that communists and antifas only
enjoyed killing anti-communists and fascists during and after World War II must
be dismissed. In fact, ever since their coming to power communists and antifas
in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, in 1917 and 1945 respectively, were
involved in the orgy of mutual purges and killings. It must be expected that
American antifas or liberals, or whatever they may name themselves in the near
future, will start, once in power, with similar mutual killings. Virtually all
big masterminds of communist mass killings during the pre-WWII and the post-WWII
Soviet era, heads of powerful Soviet secret police agencies ( Genrikh Yagoda, Lavrentiy Beria, Nikolai Yezhov, Lev Kamenev ) were at some
point demoted or ended up themselves on the gallows erected by their former
communist comrades. A fresh example of latent communist entropy transpiring in
incessant intra-communist warfare could be observed on the eve of the violent
break-up of multicultural communist Yugoslavia in 1991, falsely ascribed by the
foreign media to local nationalists. However, a closer look at the profile of
major decision makers in seceding ex-Yugoslav republics points to their common
communist past. Similarly, on a positive side, if one carefully looks at the
pedigree, or reads the early works of some of the best and brightest
anti-Communist analysts and writers (Boris Souvarine, Arthur Koestler, George Orwell, Ante Ciliga),
one can notice that they were at some point in their life ardent supporters of
antifascism and communism.
Reductio ad hitlerum; reductio ad iudaeorom
The language arsenal of modern American antifa activists is
another field of study that merits closer psycholinguistic attention. Antifa
rioters and their college mentors, along with pro-communist US main media
outlets, including a large number of their Democratic party coaches are using a
revised communist jargon borrowed from the defunct Soviet Union. The Soviet
talk was once the daily menu of the communist propaganda in Eastern Europe, its
goal being to dehumanize, demonize and criminalize political opponents. The
language processing was simple — it consisted in reversing the meaning of words
and redefining political concepts. Similar practice can be observed today in
the US amongst modern antifa activists and main media outlets who resort to the
principles of reductio ad absurdum, that is, they posit
propositions that elicit contradictory yet self-serving conclusions. Along
these reductionist lines of verbal sophistry, the process of vilifying Whites
as fascists is being facilitated by the methodological tool of reductio
ad hitlerum. By now this equation, i.e., Whites = Fascists has become a
standard practice in social science studies and in the media in the US. For
modern antifa rioters in the US, the word fascism is a pivotal killer-shut-up
word. Once uttered it disables any communication. This word, however, has
completely lost its original political designation, standing now instead for a
synonym of the absolute cosmic evil.
The same verbal demonizing wordings apply to another killer-word
i.e. “Nazism,” a derogatory hyperbolic abbreviation of the word in usage since
1945. The word ‘Nazi’, however, was never used in the official
National-Socialist documents or academic journals in Germany from 1933–45.
Ironically, it first appeared in the late 1920s as a deriding title of the
book Der Nazi-Sozi[6] written
as a short lampooning manifestoagainst
Jews, Communists and capitalists by Joseph Goebbels, who was to become in 1933
the main figure of the NS German propaganda war.
Using the pejorative word ‘Nazi’ today is the equivalent of the
pejorative word “commie”, the difference being, however, that in a polite
academic company in the US, or in academic journals nobody would ever use the
word ‘commie’ in the description of communists. The whole array of new
euphemisms, as well as torrents of killer-words have been manufactured over the
last fifty years in the US , such as “white supremacism,” “ hate speech,”
“affirmative action,” “Afro-Americans” instead of Negroes, the modifying
adjective “Jewish” instead of a more piercing noun ‘Jew’, with most of these
words being taken now as a commonplace either when criminalizing political
opponents or when praising non-Europeans to the skies. When inspecting the
prose of many leftist or Jewish-run journals or pro-Jewish news agencies in the
USA, such as the SPLC or ADL, it becomes obvious that they function primarily
as antifa educational loudspeakers when blaring on all frequencies the demonizing
labels neo-Nazis, white supremacists, or fascists.
Historical amicability of a large number of Jewish-American
intellectuals for antifascist projects have been amply documented by Kevin MacDonald.
Most Jewish-American authors, for obvious reasons, are pretty tacit when it
comes to analyzing the high percentage of leading Communists officials of
Jewish origin in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and their role in early
communist-antifa movements, as well as their role in the establishment of
repressive communist regimes. The very large overrepresentation of
liberal-leftist Jews in the major media and elite academic institutions, as
well as in financial contributions to political causes of the left, has also been
critical in creating the culture of White guilt and fanning the flames of the
communist temptation in contemporary America.
However, reducing the birth and the spread of communism, including
its modern version of antifascism to Jewish intellectuals and activists is not
the whole story; it means ignoring the all-encompassing, indeed democratic
reality of the communist temptation. Gentile communist auxiliaries, reared in
the culture of White guilt, operate as willing executioners; they fear being
suspected of a lax attitude toward non-communist foes, or harboring themselves
latent anti-Semitic feelings, and they often outperform their Jewish-communist
comrades. It is no accident that the frontmen in modern antifa riots in US
cities today are mostly troubled White individuals who have lost the sense of
identity and who, driven by feelings of historical guilt (as is the case with
most academics in Germany), look for atonement by becoming the loudest
sympathizers or standard-bearers of antifascism.
Removing the communist
temptation presupposes cleaning up the swamp, first in American higher
education and then in defunding departments of humanities in all colleges. In
order to do that, the fallacy of multiculturalism needs to be discarded; it has
never worked anywhere in the world. It has always been a recipe for disaster
and civil wars all over the world. Abandoned policies of racial segregation
must be reconsidered as a viable option for a functional society. It is better
to have fences than cohabiting with an alien partner in a fake marriage. Prior
to that, however, the whole idea of progress, still strongly embedded in the
American dream, needs to be re-examined. Of course, this may all sound like
wishful thinking because, as we have seen thousands of times in history, it is
the size of someone’s sword which only makes the difference between good and
evil.
