Two solid items on the Communist state of the West

It seems some of the big guys are calling it like it is.

Mark Steyn lands on the line

A small sample:

Dennis Prager equates the mutilation of American schoolgirls with the enforced clitoridectomies of Muslim females – and he’s correct that it destroys whatever claim to moral superiority the west might once have had: it’s not merely the transformation of “the formerly good into the bad” but of the formerly good into the evil. It is not Putin or Chairman Xi or the mullahs who are slicing the breasts off thousands of middle-schoolers and rendering them infertile.

If you feel a wee bit queasy about mutilating little girls, well, unless you’re as rich as JK Rowling, better shut up, hater. Nevertheless, there are, as Marx would have said, internal contradictions in the new Utopia.

[…]

Unlike the constitution-wavers of the American right, the left does not live in abstractions. It makes hard-power calculations on what’s useful to them. Muslims are, and Jews aren’t. Tough, but, like the mobsters say, nothing personal, strictly business. Thus, according to Canada’s state-funded national broadcaster, “Israel started the Hamas war” – while that whole October 7th unpleasantness was just a bit of freelance rape and murder one has to accept (per Sadiq Khan) as the occasional price of living in a great global city kibbutz.

But, at the top, the people who are doing this to us are not doing it “unconsciously”. They understand very clearly that the new utopia can only be built on a mountain of corpses – from myocarditis, from body positivity, from diversity stabbings, from whatever it takes. I said some years ago that those tearing down statues of every king, queen and prime minister would soon move on to actual human beings: if you are determined to erase the entirety of the past, why would you balk at the abolition of human biology? In both cases, it is to ensure that there is no path back: no nation, no community, no family, no civilisational inheritance. You can only stagger onward, deeper into the void.

 This year’s freshman class at the University of Vermont is two-thirds female; is it so hard to imagine it as an all-ladies’ college? And sooner than you think?

Heraclitus said “cold things warm, warm things cool, wet things dry and parched things get wet”. But even he might have been surprised to see men become women, and ugly men become beauty queens, and people who remember when only women were women become social pariahs. There is no “hypocrisy” or “inconsistency”; au contraire, it is admirably consistent: What serves the left’s interest is the destruction of all norms and of all the most basic societal building-blocks – and of the widespread confusion and disorientation that follows. For in chaos all things are possible: Forty per cent of French pre-schoolers are of a “migrant background“. There’s another one for Heraclitus: French children become non-French. But don’t worry, because soon all children will become, genetically speaking, non-anything – just as soon as they’ve perfected that “male womb“.

  1. ” “Israel started the Hamas war”

    We can be technical,and legal,here,and state that Hamas “started” the war. That said,at some point,we have to factor in the Occupation of the Palestinian Homeland by the Jewish diaspora,initiated by European Jews, post hololocaust, and the Colonization,and recreation of a Zionist Jewish State at the expense of the Palestinian People,which includes Palestinian Christians and other non-Jews.
    Like in many conflicts,and maybe more so in civil/ethnic/religious conflicts,both sides have their own stories that we all neeed to listen to,including the combatants.
    For whatever reasons,good and/or bad,right or wrong,the Jews have been considered as the “victims” in this conflict,especially by the Christian West,who have been complicit with the Jews,here.On the other hand,the true victims,the victims of German,Polish,Dutch,Amerian,Russian,etc,Jews, are the Palestinians,who have been,and continue to be seen as the agressors.
    While there may be blame to go around,European Jews,under the imperialistic and colonial guise of Zionism,share the bulk of the blame,here,along with the UK,America,the western democracies,and the UN of the day. Just sayin’.

  2. Vlad !

    Speaking with my grandson recently who has just gone back to Cambridge University ( UK ) to re- commence his undergraduate studies there.

    I asked him: ‘ tell me one thing you ‘learnt’ that you thought was interesting in your first year ?’

    His reply: “Joseph Schumpeter’s ideas on ‘ Creative Destruction’ !

    This is what they are ‘preaching’ at Cambridge these days.

    Everything around us that they are doing, fits with this pretty neatly.

    Every dialectical tool currently deployed against us can be described (in its effects) as an example of ‘Creative Destruction’.

    • So there have been a lot of communist “think tanks” since the time of Marx. Most famously, The Frankfurt School, and most destructively, The Fabian Society. There is also Runnymede and many, many more.

      It seems to me that all these groups do is abstract simple ideas of Marx into more and more practical ways of applying them. So first abstract the idea into a sort of meta-version, then break it up into numerous ways of directly applying them.

      So if you take Marx’ “critical theory”, where you destroy a thing by heaping criticism of it, you can abstract it to heaping scorn, hatred, anything negative, not just criticism born of reason. Better in fact if it is not reasonable so it isn’t subject to a reasoned response.

      A LOT of Frankfurt School material is clearly just applied Critical Theory.

      I would have to read a lot more on ‘Creative Destruction’ to see how it applies but from the name, it seems like it would. It also seems like it would fit basic ideas from the French version of dialectic destruction, Post Modernism.

      Anyway thanks for the comment. I’ll see what I can find on that over the holidays.
