The Nihlism of the Left

The American "Left" is a hodgepodge of groups from Democratic Socialists to outright Stalininsts and Maoists. Some "vanguard" groups like the Revolutionary Communist Party, run by hard core Maoist Bob Avakian literally despise the United States, it's classical liberal foundations, and wish to overthrow "capitalism". On their website they fire up the flames of racial and group conflict, ethnic hate ( against Euro-Americans) and call on the "masses" to form a revolutionary communist state. The fraud of the ideology of socialism and communism is apparent when it is recognized for what it is: and elitist philosophy where professed love for the masses is used as a front for the aquisition of power, paving the way for the "dictatorship of the proletariat". Why people "freeing" themselves need a dictator at all is a dichotomy that is ironically left out. What we will examine in this essay is the nihlistic mindset of the "left". We will examine their hate,mass murder, group idendity politics, and anti-free market economic policies.

The despotism of the Old World, of which Karl Marx was a member, was a despotism of centralized government, state economic controls, state religion, and feudalism.This Old World philosophy is in complete contravention to the ideals of the Enlightenment which brought us classical liberalism, free enterprise, respect for human rights and progress.

Ethnic Cleansing of "Class Enemies" and races

American Leftists are constantly berating and condemning the United States as a "racist", "sexist", "homophobe" nation founded by "dead white males". This is where the left's political and cultural bigotry comes to the forefront. What they really hate is the concept of liberty itself and natural rights as expressed by America's Founders. Leftists are incredibly racist and hateful people motivated by a corrupt and hateful philosophy. America's Founders with all of their flaws are still the greatest proponents of human liberty. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Thomas Paine and other great classical liberals were believers in individual liberty, free trade, human rights, enlightenment, and peace. Leftists hate the Founders for several reasons. Reason one is that they were white males. This is an example of leftist racism and prejudice. Reason two is the leftist love of collectivism, violence, and cultural upheaval. There so many other reasons that this essay would not be able to deliniate them all. Leftists love to claim that America's Founders committed "genocide" against "people of color". American Indians are painted as benevolent utopians living off the land until "whitey" came along. There were clearly atrocities on both sides. Colonists and Indians brutally murdered each other savagely, betrayed treaties, and committed acts of mayhem. American Indian tribes were really statist governments who ruled over their own people tyrannically. They also made war on other tribes, butchered them and kept the women and children as slaves and concubines. Let us now examine the Leftist "ethnic cleansing" and murder of idigenous people around the world:

Soviet Union: Kulaks, Cossacks, Armenians,Ukrainians,Volga Germans,Baltic peoples, Finns,Poles and other numerous minorities were starved, enslaved on collective farms, and had their property stolen by the Soviet state. Mass murder was the norm for many of these people such as the Kulaks and Cossacks. An estimated 70 MILLION people died at the hands of these human demons in the USSR. Anti-Semetism was rampant in the USSR, and Jews suffered massive repression at the hands of the "worker's paradise". Whole peoples were labeled " reactionary races" and "counter revolutionaries".

China: Tibetans were enslaved after the 1950 invasion of Tibet by China. Their national culture was annhilated. Buddhist monastaries, and other items of national culture were suppressed. Tibetans are forbidden to speak Tibetan, and forcibily taught Chinese in school. Ethnic Chinese have been imported to further erode what is left of Tibetan culture. Tibetans have been subjected to slavery, mass murder, and occupation now for 56 years. So much for caring about "indigenous peoples".

Peru: The Maoist guerrilla group Sendero Luminoso ( The Shining Path) in their occupied zones committed crimes against indeginous indians by forcing them on collective farms, banning any dissent and committing terrorism against the populace. Prostitutes had their heads shaved, unfaithful husbands were whipped publically, dogs and cats were hung from lamposts to terrorize the populace. Mass murder was frequently used against villagers who attempted to vote in peruvian elections.

Cambodia: The murderous regime of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot murdered 3,000,000 people in death camps throughout Cambodia. People were killed for "smiling too much", "being an intellectual", a "class enemy", "rich", "formenting counter revolution", or being a "peasant".

Eastern Europe: In all of the Eastern European states ethnic minorities were terrorized, their culture supressed, and their homelands absorbed into the parent state. Moldovia into the USSR, parts of Poland to the USSR, parts of Germany to Poland, Yugoslavia, a mishmash of ethnic rivalies,clans and races. All of these people were crushed by the sickle and hammer. Only now are they starting to recover their nationalities.

In Cuba Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara used terrorism, murder, and brutality to create a "people's republic". Guevara was particularly brutal. He was closed minded ( as all Marxists are), arrogant, and fanatical. Guevara had no qulams about murdering opponents of Castro and the "people's revolution". So much for caring about the "proletariat". Guevara was also very racist. He called blacks "indolent" as a race, and denegrated Mexicans and other Indian races.

In Nepal, a "people's war" against the corrupt monarchy has resulted in the murder, torture and genocide against innocent Nepalis. The Maoist movement in Nepal controls large parts of the countryside where free enterprise, private property, and civil liberties are non-existant under the "dictatorship of the proletariat".

These are just a few examples of the hypocrisy, savagery, and genocide committed by leftist regimes. Sadly many young American "useful idiots" are the biggest supporters of Marxism and socialist thought. You can see these tragic figures at anti-war protests, waving the red banner, the sickle and hammer, and numerous hate filled signs denouncing whites, America, or capitalism. What is also sad is that many of these young people will be the first to go their deaths in a communist revolution. Lenin used anarchists, social democrats, and other socialist parties to forment the Bolshevik Revolution. Once the revolution was over most went to labor camps and eventually to their deaths.

What must we do as libertarians? As I have stated in other essays we must forment radicalism for liberty, free thought and free enterprise. THe nihlism of leftism must be exposed. Freedom must be cultivated in the minds of the masses. The slave mentality must be eradicated. We must instill a univerasal love of liberty and brotherhood amongst people. Class, race, ethnicity, religion, and all other divisive catagories must be exposed as tools to divide and conquer people. Liberty needs to become the organizing principle of society and eventually the world. Without liberty, life is really a dreary thing. Without liberty,freedom and democracy cannot survive. Let's all work together to bring peace, liberty and democracy to the world.

The Left/Right Statist Collectivist Mass Delusion

In essence there only only two competing ideologies in existance: statism and libertarianism. As I have pointed out in other essays, the Left/ Right political structure is pure fraud. In today's America people are brainwashed and deluded by what I call the Left/Right Statist-Collectivist Mass Delusion. This delusion blinds people to the frauds being perpetrated on their lives and liberties. This mass delusion also causes them to hate their country, it's ideals and embrace statist-collectivist ideals. This delusion is widespread and has metastisized like a cancer over the past several decades. This fraud has been successful in duping people to reject libertarian ideas. We will review both "leftwing" and "rightwing" delusions and see how they are ruining the USA. First, let's begin with the "left".

The Modern "Left"

The modern "left" is made up of many factions, groups and causes. Socialism, communism, environmentalism, group catagorization, and group identity ( affirmative action), anti-gun, "public health" movements, socialized medicine, etc. One thing most of these groups have in common is worship of the state or collective. Also hatred of everything "American" or "Eurocentric" is a prime portion of their ideology. Most "left" groups disguise their hateful and bigoted ideas behind words like "tolerance" or "inclusive". Most leftists are neither. Hate of "whites males",
the United States, and most importantly the classical liberal ideals of America's Founders are paramount. Of course, they also hate religious believers, traditional morality, and wish to force a "cultural revolution" on American society.
One example of the mass delusion these "leftists" suffer is their bigoted,prejudiced manipulation of history. Men like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington are stridently condemned as "slaveowners", and "oppressors". Men ,like Jefferson and Madison, who tried to abolish slavery and preserve the gains of the American Revolution, are given no quarter while monsters like Mao, Stalin or Pol Pot are praised, elevated and worshipped. These communist beasts, mass murderers, and monsters made slaves of all of their people, not just a portion. Classical liberals like Jefferson attempted to eradicate slavery, but their society was not prepared to move in that direction. Men like Lenin and Stalin instead ordered mass murder and starvation of their "class enemies". Communist prejudice and hate is conveiniently ignored, while great men like Jefferson or Washington are destroyed. The ideals of the American Revolution consisted of individual liberty, limited government, and free trade. These ideals are derided and the collectivist ideal of unlimited government, elitism, hate and envy are propagated. "Leftists" ignore the progression of history. Starting with English libertarian ideas in the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and ultimately the American Revolution, libertarian ideas have progressed. Condeming our forebearers is absurd because men like the English Levellers, Thomas Jefferson, or James Madison were way ahead of their time. Jefferson avidly hoped future generations would go beyond his own. "Leftists", of course will never admit this. They want to hate. They want to hate "whites", America's Founders, and Western Civilization. Leftist tyranny is particularly hideous. In the USSR, China, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Cuba, etc ethnic minorities are subjected to mass deportation, mass murder,annhilation of their culture, and a life of serfdom and enslavement. The Left is only one half of the Statist-Collectivist Mass Delusion that afflicts the world. Let us turn to the Right.

The Right

Our right wing opponents are equally the enemies of liberty. The modern "Right" are the descendants of the Old Guard in Europe. This Old Guard descends from the monarchies with their "Divine Right of Kings", privileged nobility, state supported churches, Roman Catholic and Protestant, military, and the favored interests of these despotic societies, mercantilist corporations, guilds and wealthy civil servants. The modern Right is without a king so they must do the next best thing: give the American President the aura of a monarch. Right wing Republicans practically worship the President, savagely attacking any and all who critisize the "Commander in Chief" Right wingers also despise the poor and middle classes. Oh, they speak as their defenders, but actions speak louder than words. The American people have had a Republican Congress for 12 years now, and has this helped the cause of liberty? No way. Regressive witholding taxes, sales taxes,unemployment insurance taxes, Social Security taxes, gas taxes, and massive debt have been foisted upon the mass of our society. So much for defending working people. The Right is also full of hate. The objects of this hate are homosexuals,abortion doctors, libertarians, people of no faith or a non Christian faith, "liberals", and any opponents of the Republican Party. Laws banning "gay marriage",euthanasia, the use of drugs for medicinal purposes, are just a few examples of so called "conservatives" casting aside "state's rights" and embracing central control from Washington. Who has benefited from these "conservatives" policies? Military contractors, corporations who are subsidized by the taxpayers, religous fanatics, and the statist drug enforcement apparatus. The Right has an almost knee jerk hate of civil liberties. Wiretapping without a warrant, no knock raids, American citizens held in violation of Habeus Corpus ( Jose Padilla), "free speech zones", militarization of police forces,etc. The Attorney General of the United States recently stated that the President has unlimited power in time of war to "imprison", "detain", and hold people without any legal justification! That my friends is the "conservative" ideal. This as most will recognize is really fascism.

How to End the Statist-Collectivist Mass Delusion

How do we end this mass delusion and free the American people? First,we must be militant, radical and uncomprimising. No apologies for libertarian ideas or beliefs.
We must use the arts of propaganda, elections, and public issues to get the libertarian message out to the masses. We must reject and distinguish ourselves from conservatives. Libertarians are mistakenly considered conservatives. We are not anything of the sort. Libertarianism is radical, conservativism is not. Conservatism is a stagnant, rotten and corrupt statist delusion. We also must oppose the Left with more frequency. We must expose their hateful ideals of group identification, group catagorization, class warfare, anti-traditionalist statist agenda. We must defend free enterprise against statists, both right and left. One way is to expose the frauds of GATT, NAFTA,FTAA, and the WTO. These statist treaties are not free trade, but are statist government managed trade. We must also oppose all taxes, at all levels, all regulations, and all new laws designed to infringe on the right of people to live their lives as they see fit. We must show people the evils of empire and imperialism. We must point out the benefits of a Jeffersonian foreign policy of "Stategic Neutrality" and peace. All foreign wars must be opposed and all American troops brought home. We must show the American people that your life belongs to you and no one else! Without the right to own, control and manage your own property, you become a slave. Without the right to live your personal life by your own morals ( without infringing on the right of others to do the same), you are a slave. Without the right to be free of tyrannical laws and government, you are a slave. Without the right to associate or not associate with any one you choose, you are a slave. The worst type of slavery is the slavery of the mind. This type of slavery perpetuates the Left/ Right Statist Collectivist Mass Delusion. It is the type of slavery where you continue to think your free, but you are really in bondage.

Reject the slave mentality! Reject the idea that you exist to serve you "betters" in the Left/ Right Statist Collectivist Mass Delusion. Embrace radical libertarianism, and free the world.

Classism

As revolutionary and radical libertarians we must reject the philosophy of classism that that is destroying our freedom, prosperity, and our society. Let us begin.

Classism

Classism is the pitting of one class against another by statists and other government/corporate complexes. This form of class warfare is divisive, destructive and causes people to resent, envy and hate others based upon their perceived financial success or lack thereof. Classism is a theory that says that the rich, poor and middle classes have conflicting and opposing interests. This evil theory completely ignores the fact that all people have a vested interest in not only their own freedom, but the freedom of others, regardless of economic status. Communists and socialists are masters at this type of divide and conquer theory. They focus on the poor and downtrodden and foster a hate of the wealthy blaming all of the problems of the poor and middle classes on the rich. What they fail to include is that it is not the rich, per se, but the rich corporate system that is inextricably tied to the government for fat contracts, subsidies, and tax plunder. Free trade, true capitalism, and economic progress are discarded and instead wealth is transfered from the people to government bureaucrats, contractors, and their favored interests. This classism applies to both the right and the left as people are lead to believe that it is not the statist tyrants who are their oppressors, but the "rich". Right wingers use this theory to show the poor as parasites and losers. They uphold wealthy elites as the pinnacle of society. The middle class and poor are derided as "unsuccessful". Of course the rightists leave out the massive tax and welfare bureaucracy that forces many into poverty. Both leftists and rightists wish to consolidate all power in a centralized state. This state is a Hobbsian creature made to "rule" society.

Leftists and Rightists perpetrate this fraud by encouraging hate on the enemy "class". The Left singles out the successful as "parasites" and "oppressors" but of course excuse wealthy leftists and socialists from their theory. Their communist heros like Stalin, Lenin, Gorbechev all lived like European royalty, similar to the Czar they overthrew. Rightists uphold corporations as the pinnacle of "capitalism" and "free trade" when in reality, these corporations are nothing more that government servants staffed by sycophants.

Reject Classism! Reject enslavement by this evil ideology of hate! Embrace Freedom!

The Hate of the Right and Left

We hear it all the time: " I'm a conservative" or "I'm a liberal", "rightwinger", "leftwinger", etc. In general these terms do define so called "progressives" and so called "conservatives". However, these terms do not adequately describe or unveil the ideology of hatred, envy and malice behind both of these philosophies. In this essay we will examine both. Before we do let me inform you, the reader, that as a libertarian I reject both the "right" and the "left" because they are both wrong. They are wrong about human nature, they are wrong about government, and they use force, fear and fraud to obtain their "heaven on Earth". Let us examine first the philosophy of the left.

Leftists, which generally include communists, socialists, democratic socialists, environmental groups, and Trotskyites, proclaim a love of mankind, and wish to free him from subjection by the "capitalist class". When examined closely this philosophy is full of hate, envy, malice and domination. Leftists either consist of wealthy elites that feel guilty about their own success or men of little success who wish to penalize, and punish those who have been successful. In the early 20th century when the Bolshevik Revolution proclaimed a "new man" would be built in the newly conceived USSR it was a lie. Instead, an Old World despotism ( that of the tyrannical Czar) was reinstituted, along with the bureaucracy, to enslave and dominate the Russian masses. Forced confiscation of land and property, collective farms (serfdom), secret police ( the NKVD, modelled like the Czarist secret police), and a huge standing military were established to lord over the populace. These Marxist intellectuals claimed to be doing all of this in the name of the people. What they really did was reinstitute the former hierarchial society under new slogans, titles and names. The new aristocrats were the Communist Party bureaucrats and Kommissars, both of whom were at the top rung of this despotism pyramid. At the top was the executive officials of the Party, the Politburo, and the pinnacle was the dictator, the Chairman of The Communist Party. What about the mass of the people, you might ask? At the BOTTOM of the pyramid. Slaves, and serfs living in subhuman conditions just like under the Czar with laws designed to keep them powerless and ignorant. This structure was recreated in every communist run nation from Eastern Europe to Southeast Asia and China.

In reality leftists are motivated by a love of power, domination and hierarchy, no matter what their slogans and speeches say. Freedom of Speech, religion, person, are non-existant. Protections against unreasonnable searches and seizures, the right to counsel, and individual liberty are codified in law in a farcical manner. These rights are never respected because individuals live for the collective, the Party, and never for themselves. Living in such a society is much like living in a secular Hell. Constant fear, ignorance, and brutality are the norm. Curfews, militarism, and and "thought police" are everywhere. This is the Communist ideal of a just society. Hate is constantly promoted. Hate of the capitalists, hate of "hooligans", hate of religion and it's believers, hate of the individual, hate of "enemies of the state", hate of the "class enemies", etc are daily infused into popular thought. That said,now let's move onto the hate of the right.

Rightists, are also made up of power hungry individuals who desire power, domination, hierarchy and slavery for the masses. Rightists usually consist of militarists, religious fanatics, secular bureaucrats, and corporate leaders. Most rightists are motivated by hate of the poor, minorities of any kind, anyone who is not suffciently patriotic, and anyone opposed to their religious belief or outlook. Rightists are also the offspring of the Old World. They are the children of the Old nobility, monarchies, and religious priests of the Middle Ages. These are the type of men who would have supported the Spanish Inquisition, and who to this day support imperialism. Rightists also enjoy a political pyramid that keeps them in power. The nobility consists of the corporate leaders who do the government's bidding, professional government bureaucrats, miltary nobles (the officer class), and at the top the executive branches consisting of the departments of the central government. Who is at the bottom, you ask? Of course the general population, the middle classes , the poor, minorities, and the average everyday man. I must add the term "minorities" does not just mean people of color. Homosexuals, prostitutes,and people who use drugs are also targets of right wing rage against "immorality". Also in most of America, white males and whites in general are assaulted by the establishment and abused as racists. This is done by the establishment to divide and conquer the populace. Most, if not all races fall for this trap. This race baiting keeps emotions inflamed, hate burning, and the people distracted.

Right wingers are, like their leftist cousins, promoters of hate. This hate is directed against "nonbelievers", atheists, homosexuals, poor and downtrodden, and "nonconformists",and those who speak out against the government. This hate is motivated by their own insecurities of self worth, sociopathy, sadism against the weaker, and delusions of domination.

As one can see these two ideologies are ideologies of death, hate, and self abasement. Individuals don't matter, the tribe, the collective, the hive, is supreme. The people mean nothing. The elites of both ideologies establish a hierarchial scoiety to dominate, control, and consolidate their own power.
As O' Brian, Winston Smith's torturer in 1984 related to Winston " Power is not a means, Winston, it is an end." This is the philosophy of the right and left.

Needless to say both of these statist ideologies exist to transfer the wealth and fortune of productive people ( the bulk of the American people) to the non-productive people ( statist government bureaucrats, favored corporations, and the government parasite class). A great run down of the "class struggle" is on " The Nation of Liberty" website run by Peter Brow. The URL is www.geocities.com/capitolhill/congress/3999/art.classstruggle.html. It is a great article.

All in all, the "left" and "right" are full of hate. Hate of humanity is what drives their ideologies. Rightwingers are generally arrogant hypocrites who constantly espouse "morality" and "family values" while living lives of debauchery and luxury. Leftists are also arrongant hypocrites since they espouse "tolerance" and denounce "racism" yet are really race baiters and haters. They promote "group rights" and "multiculturalism" which divide and segregate people into different racial castes and tribes.

Dear reader, reject these ideologies of malice, envy and hate. Instead embrace liberty, freedom, prosperity and compassion. Embrace libertarianism, the only philosophy that tells you that you own your life. Libertarianism is the only philosophy that tells you to live for yourself, enjoy life and respect the rights and lives of others. If you join me, we can walk down that path together.

Americans, Liberty, and the Blue Pill

Trinity :" It is the question...Do you know the question?" Neo:" What is the Matrix?"

I am convinced that Americans have taken the Blue pill. They are hopelessly plugged into the system. Dependent on the system for their very lives, they mindlessly continue along without open mindedness, and independent thought. Americans are not only unable to see the truth while stupified by the system, they do not wish to see it. Seeing the truth, the truth that they are slaves, is not something easy to come to grips with. Taking the blue pill is the easy way out. Taking the red pill, the pill of enlightenment is an act of courage. Americans today, much like in the movie the Matrix, live in a dream world. They live superficial and managed lives at the behest of forces they cannot quite put their finger on. They know there is something wrong with their country, they just aren't sure what it is.

Television, talk radio, sports, Hollywood, gossip magazines, etc are all the modern day version of the gladiator games of ancient Rome. Most Americans cannot conceive of life without TV, radio and other forms of artificial "entertainment". Instead of unplugging, most Americans would rather indulge in alcoholism, drug addiction, entertainment addiction and stimulation, organized sporting events and other mundane mindless activities. These actvities do not stimulate the mind, nor do they encourage critical thinking. Instead, these activities cause people to use the most primitive part of the primate brain. Visual and physical stimulation, while normal to enjoy as human beings, have now become the primary organizing factor of the modern man. What is important is not liberty, freedom, self government, individual sovereignty, but what mindless entertainment is going to fill up space in their minds. This mindset is exactly what the elite of the world want. They want you braindead, idiotic, unable to think , and easy to lead.

When you turn on the TV you are seeing a series of images that the corporate/government/media complex wants you to see. Have you ever noticed how most modern police or spy shows depict government officials as benevolent, caring and doing the best for their people. In reality we know this to be a lie. Governments, rightwing, leftwing, "democratic", totalitarian, and religious have been engaged in the systematic domination of the bodies and minds of individuals since societies organized into nation states, empires and kingdoms. Modern despotism is now much easier for the destroyers of freedom. Mass media, government/ corporate propaganda, militarism and "trust" of government leaders has given more and more power, dominance and manipulation to the tyrant. Now modern man is his own worst ememy; the destroyer of his own liberties.

As a libertarian I cannot conceive that mankind are "depraved" or that "original sin" require the supression of indiviudal liberty and independent thought. I reject the notions of organized religion that man is a beast incapable of governing himself. I also reject the view of Hobbes that man's life is " nasty, brutish and short". Man, in my opinion, is not inately depraved. Mankind consists of individuals of varying degrees of morality and behavior. Some are immoral, evil and destructive of their fellow men ( mostly in governments), and some are kind, compassionate, honorable and respect the rights of their fellow men. Some are a mixture of both. Collectivism, despotism, cruelty and brutality are what corrupts and degrades a society. Collectivists claim that man needs strong government to make them obey "proper" authority, and ensure morality. This type of government is what creates and propagates depravity in man. Prison camps, torture, destruction of civil liberties, and mass murder are the results of collectivism of both the right and left. To maintain their power over their people, governments use propaganda, modern day entertainment, and religion for social conformity and control. In essence, they are encouraging you to take the blue pill.

My advice is unplug from our modern day "Matrix" and reject the blue pill, and instead, take the red pill. Wake up, tune in, and tune out your oppressors. Freedom awaits you.

Conservative Collectivists

The term "collectivist" or "collectivism" is usually reserved for communist, socialist or leftist politicians and their policies. It is true that collectivism is generally a left wing obsession, but not entirely. Conservatives, by that term I mean neoconservatives, monarchists, and power hungry right wing bureaucrats, are also collectivists. They truly hate indivdual liberty. One of their heroes, Edmund Burke, viewed society as "organic" and advocated the principle that the "swinish multitude", should follow the traditions of their forebearers. This anti-intellectual ideal, which bears no resemblence to the 18th century libertarian revolutionary tradition, has infected the modern Republican Party and those who call themselves conservatives. Conservatives here in the Bush era are the sworn enemies of liberty, individualism, and independent thought.

Ever since the 9/11 attacks America has devolved into a abyss of fear, aggression and despair. War in Iraq, invasions of civil liberties here at home, outright lying by our political leaders, and overt propaganda, have created a climate of fear that has allowed, what I call the Conservative Collectivist to arise. These collectivists are as dangerous as their leftists opponents, if not more so, since they hold the reins of power. Let's examine what the Conservative Collectivist stands for:

1) Blind Obedience to the Federal Government ( mostly meaning the President and the military)
2) Rabid 500% Patriotism, which means hatred of anyone who opposes the Iraq War, or disagrees with the President's policies
3) Worship of the Military
4) Glorification of War and the whipping up hatred for America's "enemies"
5)The passage of more and more laws that restrict the liberty and freedom of consenting adults within their personal lives ( abortion, marriage, drug use, etc)
6) A massive increase in public debt ( the National Debt is close to 8.2 TRILLION dollars)
7) The granting of government funds to religious groups in direct violation of the First Amendment, ie: Bush's Office of Faith Based Charity
8) Violating the Constitution by approving illegal and criminal wiretaps without probable cause, congressional oversight and keeping such activities secret from the American people

These are just a few of the crimes of the Conservative Collectivists that are running the USA.

Collectivism has two wings so to speak. One wing is left, the other right. Let's start with some examples of left wing collectivism:

Nazi Germany, USSR, Communist China, The Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, Vietnam, Cuba,North Korea, etc. In these nations the state becomes the all powerful and omnipotent organism. It creates secret police, political speech codes, massive standing armies, nationalized health care ( that provides shoddy or no care), mass poverty( except for the ruling class of oligarchs of the ruling political party), and abject slavery of the masses by prohibiting all private property.

Right Wing collectivists generally consist of dictators of the military or religious kind. Some examples include Iran, Syria, Pakistan, most Central American and South American nations, Russia,many African nations, Haiti, etc. In these nations the ruling elite also rules through secret police, military tribunals, labor and detention camps, government owned media, corporate-government alliances and complexes where corporations assist the despot in enslaving the people. The state is supreme and it's leader absolute.

What do these types of collectivism have in common? EVERYTHING. Domination, fear, aggression, death, slavery, and tyranny are the results of both sides of the collectivist coin.

It is sad to the see the USA falling into a combination of the two. Nationalized health care, the miltary industrial complex, high taxes, War, the chilling of free speech, and violence are sweeping across the United States. I have remarked in some of my other essays what will happen to the cause of liberty in the world if the USA is transformed into a full blown dictatorship. If this happens the world will be plunged into darkness.

We must stop the conservative collectivists here at home or the complete death of individual liberty will be ensured.

Collectivism's Cancerous Spread

Collectivism has spread rapidly throughout American society since the end of WWII and the victory of the military industrial complex over the libertarian impulses of our revolutionary tradition. Since the end of the Cold War we have seen conservatives replace their leftist rivals as the promotors of unlimited government. The fanatical religious wing of the Republican Party is consistantly calling for the "banning" of everything: Gay marriage, assisted suicide, abortion, women's rights, etc. These causes are then followed up with calls for the criminalization of adultery, making divorce more difficult, continuing the failed War on Drugs, supporting a "war of civilizations" against the Islamic world, a new form of the old Crusades, and repeated calls for placing Christianity in public schools. All of these "conservative" causes are a form of collectivism. In these causes the tribe, that is the religious tribe, is supreme. Their values are supreme. Individuals are irrelevant, and their ideas should be submerged into the collective. Assisting these religious conservatives are the neoconservatives. These men and women are very, very dangerous. They repeatedly call for the United States to "conquer" the Middle East, promote the interests of transnational corporations, establish military bases across the globe for "strategic dominance", and engage the USA in a war without end for "national greatness". These "conservative" collectivists are destroying the revolutionary ideals of America. The libertarian tradition of free trade, individual rights, personal liberty,privacy, and constitutional government is dying at the hands of these pyschopaths. Power, dominance,aggression, and greed will be promoted through the propaganda of TV, Right Wing Hate radio, and fanaticical religion. This is collectivism at it's finest. Hate, war, strong central government, and eventual slavery will be the outcome.


My dear reader, I leave you with this chilling remark from O' Brien, the fictional torturer of Winston Smith in George Orwell's book 1984: " Winston would you like to know what the future looks like? Imagine a boot stamping on a human face...forever."

Is this what YOU want?

Harry Browne, A Great Man

On March 1st, 2006 the great libertarian activist and prolific writer, Harry Browne died at the age of 72 from ALS. To me, Harry Browne was a colossus of liberty. Browne was a man of great intellect, soft spoken, kind and generous. He was always calm, cool and collected when debating any opponent, even such vile fascists as Sean Hannity. I can honestly say that Harry Browne was the one man who caused me to open my mind to new, and more increasingly radical ideas. His books like " How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World", "Why Government Doesn't Work" and "The Great Libertarian Offer" hold a special place in my book collection. Browne worked steadfastly for freedom, and in my humble opinion was one of it's most articulate and ardent proponents. To his wife Pamela and daughter Summer, I must say that I grieve with you. Your loss has touched my heart. I hope that Harry is spreading his message of liberty on the "other side".

The Facsist States of America

I am now convinced that the United States of America, the great Republic, the land of liberty, the "beacon of freedom", as we know it ,is dead. Our country should no longer be called the United States of America. The name should be changed to the Fascist States Of America. If I sound disheartened, I am. After the recent revelations about warrantless spying, perpetual war in Iraq, phony terror plots
(the LA Library Tower), and Scooter Libby's recent testimony revealing the lies of Vice President Cheney, I see the former American Republic sliding into a truly fascist state.

Here is a list of the crimes, yes crimes, against the liberty of the American people and the principles of the Founding Fathers:

1) A undeclared aggressive foreign war
2) Congressional acts ( the Patriot Act) that violate our constitutional rights
3) Free Speech Zones at public events
4) NSA spying on American citizens without lawful authority
5) Endorsement by the American government of torture
6) Holding American citizens without lawful authority and without charges (Padilla)
7)Holding countless foreign citizens in detention camps
8)Eavesdropping on criminal suspects and violating attorney-client privilege
9) Allowing corporations like Halliburton to be awarded government contracts without any bidding ( due to the relationship with the VP, no doubt)
10) Sending young men and women to die in the sands of the MIddle East to further the political agendas of the neoconservative movement
11) WAR, WAR and more WAR

My list could go on and on. War is NEVER a good thing. Sometimes it is necessary for self defense or revolution, like the American Revolution, but war itself is sickening. War is death, mayhem, brutality, hatred, and barbarism. All human beings, regardless of race, religion or gender are entitled to liberty and freedom. Liberty of person is a basic human need like food, clothing, shelter, and sleep. Even animals love their own liberty. Put an animal in a cage and they will do anything to escape. Liberty is under extreme assault in America by fascistic conservatives who love order, power and domination. Yes, yes leftists are no different, but the left is not in power right now, and this administration is taking the assault on freedom to new heights on a daily basis.

If we continue to be led like cattle and beast of burden, if we continue to be brainwashed by propaganda, America in 10-15 years will be unrecognizable. We need to stop drooling in front of our TV, foaming at the mouth listening to right wing hate radio, and embrace the principles of the American Revolution.

I will leave you dear reader with what I believe is a very profound quote from Thomas Jefferson:

" The care of human life and happiness, and not it's destruction, are the only legitimate objects of good government."

Domestic Lying, Spying and ...Dictatorship

The admission of President Bush about violating the US Constitution, and authorizing illegal wiretaps without a warrant really brings the corruption and political depravity to a pinnacle in my mind. Here we have the President claiming that he, and he alone, has the right to determine what laws to obey and which to discard. This dangerous and ominous idea is being rabidly defended by the conservative facsist right. Their Emperor has spoken, and for them when the high exaulted executive speaks, the rabble must be silent. What a tragedy to watch a once vibrant and libertarian leaning political party like the Republican Party sink into being obsessed with one man government and imperial authority. Although the Republicans always had big government tendencies, the War On Terror has brought the full dominance of the neo-conservatives and their ilk. These supposed "conservatives" are really fascists who love war, world hegemony and power. The "Old Republic" is indeed dead, or at least dying.

Demonic Cabal

The cabal that occupies the American government is indeed demonic. Not in a superstitous religious sense, but in a philosophical one. These power mad men are willing to shred the US Constitution and it's protections to suit their evil needs. Spying on Americans, whether domestic or internationally, is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment. These wiretaps were done without any authority of law and at the whim of the President. If these acts had no basis in law, they are in fact extra legal and criminal. Americans need to wake up are realize that the building blocks of a growing police state are coming to fruition. Whats next, warrantsless searches of homes without any probable cause or evidence of a crime? Or maybe using one of the BUsh favorites on the American people, torture. You know, when some poor guy or gal is arrested for a crime, state or federal, forget about all those niceties like constitutional rights, Miranda Admonishments, and the right to counsel. Instead let's just toss people in prison and subject them to physical and mental torture. Maybe we can cut off some toes or fingers, or maybe elctrocution might be better...hmmm. Do you see where this dark line of thought takes us? It takes us down a road of tyranny and despotism, which in turn leads to barbarism.

Fire the Liars

We MUST WAKE UP! All of these liars in the federal government MUST be impeached, fired and criminally indicted. These men are nothing more than criminals and thugs witha n army and burgeoning police state apparatus at their disposal. Forget labels like liberal and conservative, right and left, and instead lets look it square in the face; it is a battle between good and evil, light and dark. President Bush and his ilk have committed one violation of the Consititution after another and we continue to do nothing! Bush, Cheney, Rice, Wolfowitz, et al need to be fired from their jobs and replaced by men and women of courage who love not only their country, but liberty itself.

Power, The Ultimate Addiction

Power. It is the ultimate addiction. It's grip on the human mind is stronger than sex, money, and even drugs. Power, particularly political power, has been the most destructive force throughout human history. It has caused the deaths of millions of human beings in every nation across this planet. The narcotic of power leads to greed, corruption, aggression, violence and eventually despotism. Power, as Lord Acton so aptly put it, does "corrupt, absolutely". No race, ethnicity, gender or political affiliation is immune to the drug of power, and all nations have had leaders who abuse power. Let us look at what the usurpation of power has done in the twentieth century alone.

Bloody Century

The 20th century was arguably, the most bloody century in recorded human existance. Two world wars, numerous genocides, "police actions", revolutions, and the rise of countless dictators were the norm for the globe during this bloody century. Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Francisco Franco, Che Guervara, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Ho Chi Minh, Kim Il Sung, Mussolini, etc the list goes on and on. All of these evil men were men who held absolute power over the lives of their people. Gulags, concentration camps, death camps, death squads, mass murders, torture, were the means by which these despots remained in power. Use of a police state apparatus against their own citizens gave these men the power to murder, starve, torture and enslave all who opposed their will.

Our nation, the United States, is not immune from this future. We have seen the steady and concentrated erosion of our liberties since the end of WWII and more recently the since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. President George W. Bush and other Republican fascists have been working day and night to establish a police state in America. Secret trials, prisons and use of torture have made the USA hated and despised around the globe. The use of miltary tribunals to try suspected "terrorists" whether Americans or not has been attempted. All of this is a result of too much power in the hands of men. In matters not whether a man is well educated, like many in the political class, or is uneducated; the gift of absolute power to one man, or a group of men corrupts and destroys not only the person exercising such power, but the liberties and lives of their fellow citizens. Power is what all politicians crave. Once aquired, like a narcotic, the obsession for more power causes men to commit the most heinous of crimes. Lying, slandering, bribery, theft, corruption and even murder are used to maintain power. Men's souls are destroyed while they seek power. It is often said that the libertarian is an atomist only concerned with himself. This charge is false. As pointed out by Peter Brow on his Nation of Liberty website, the true atomist is the statist. He cares only about himself. More particularly, he cares about his personal aquisition of power, making him the true atomist. The English and American Libertarian tradition is in direct opposition to the aquisition of power and it's corrosive effects on the human mind. Let's examine this tradition a little more closely.

The English and American Libertarian Tradition

This great Anglo-American tradition is a philosophy of Liberty vs Power in a political state. Starting with the English Revolution of the 1640's,and in a direct line through the American and into the French Revolution, this tradition attempts to maximize the liberties of individuals against the power of the state. During the English Revolution the English Levellers exerted this philosophy in it's purest form. These libertarians called for complete freedom of religion, abolition of all church privileges, abolition of the monarchy, the House of Lords, and freedom for the individual Englishman. Also the right against unreasonable search and seizure, the use of Habeus Corpus, opposition to conscription, abolition of the famous royal Star Chamber court, and freedom of press and speech were proposed. Although the Levellers failed to implement their program due to the treachery of Oliver Cromwell, the fight for liberty was begun.

Later in 1688 the English "Glorius Revolution" was completed. The power of the monarchy was limited, and the power of Parliament increased. Men like John Locke and Algernon Sidney brought forth essays and writings against absolute power. Locke, in his Second treatise of Government proposed the radical doctrine of popular sovereignty and the right of revolution by the people against a tyrannical government. Algernon Sidney in his Discourses on Government also opposed absolute monarchy and put forth his radical doctrine of the right of revolution and regicide. Sidney paid for these writings with his life in 1683 by being beheaded for treason .

In 1720 English radicals Thomas Gordon and John Trenchard began publishing their radical anti-clerical, and anti despotic, Cato's Letters.
In these articles Trenchard and Gordon put forth the arguement that men who are in power always aspire to aquire more. Power, lead to corruption and despotism as the despot and his minions plundered their country to enrich themselves and increase their power. In article after article these men exemplfied the ideology of Radical Whiggery. Both men correctly pointed out that mercantilist corporations, state religions, and government bureaucrats are all involved in enslaving their nations while enriching themselves at the expense of the lives and liberties of their fellow men. Trenchard and Gordon's writings were one of the most read writings on the libertarian tradition by our Founders.

These Radical Whig writings came to their most successful fruition during the American Revolution beginning in 1765 with the Stamp Act and culminating with the birth of the United States. The American Revolution became the true libertarian revolution against arbitrary power. This libertarian tradition also infected Europe helping cause the French Revolution as evidenced by the abolition of feudalism, abolition of church privileges, and the abolition of the monarchy.

This direct line now leads us back to power, and the consequences of unbridled authority.

How the Quest for Power Destroys a Man

The quest for more political power usually leads to the destruction of the power hungry individual, his nation and it's people. Power causes men to plot against each other, betray confidences and friends, break promises, in turn destroying their very soul. The quest for power can make good men vicious, kind men uncaring, and evil men monsters.

Most men who seek power do so for their own benefit. They claim to be public servants, but really only wish to make the public serve them. Once power is acheived, a ongoing desire for more develops. As this desire increases attempts are made usually through the manipulation of a supposed "crisis" that "requires" more government power. This government power translates into power for the ruling clique or person. It also requires a large standing military to maintain a climate of fear, a police state apparatus to keep the populace in line, and government propaganda machine to keep a semblence of legitimacy around the clique. All in all this quest for power annhilates liberty, morality, and generosity. It eats men out from within. Just look at any bureaucrat, local state or federal, that has a large amount of authority. Generally they are arrogant, condescending , and have little compassion for the concerns or problems of their consituents. Power corrupts the soul of a man. It leads to hate, aggression, war, brutality, and tyranny.

Power as a Dark Force

Power can be used for either good or ill, although it is usually used for evil. This was seen most perceptively by Star Wars director George Lucas in his outstanding six episode space opera. As related by Jedi Master Yoda: " fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
Power fanatics are very afraid. They are afraid of losing their power and domination of others. They are angry and aggressive because they need these negative emotions to fuel their quest for greater power. They are hateful because they crave the inferiority, misfortune and tragedy of others. Arrogance pervades their personalities so as to hide their insecurity and uncertainty about themselves. Their hatred is projected out on their unfortunate subjects because the object of their hate is right before them in the mirror. When all of the layers are removed these people are unhappy, tragic souls who resent and despise themselves.

In Revenge of the Sith Anakin Skywalker is plagued by doubt, anger and fear of loss. He allows his fears and negative emotions to dominate his thinking. During this time the evil Palpatine, the future emperor, plays on Anakin's fears, resentments and his burning anger. It is his fear of his wife dying in childbirth along with his growing discontent with the Jedi Order that causing him to fall prey to Palpatine's evil influence. Anakin's fears prove to be his undoing and are a direct cause of his quest for power and eventual transformation into Darth Vader. Anger, fear, doubt, aggression, and hate are the harbringers of power. Men like Josef Stalin hated mankind. He used his absolute power in the Soviet Union to massacre, starve and enslave his people. Mao Tse Tung, brutal despotic founder of Communist China, stated " food is a weapon", a statement he clearly meant when he starved millions of his people. He also stated "political power comes through the barrel of a gun". This statement was fulfilled by his creation of a massive standing army to occupy his country and keep the populace from revolting.

None of these power hungry individuals are happy people. The exercise of absolute power over others is a sure sign of mental degredation. To cause others to suffer and die so one can be all powerful is the consequence of a mind filled with hate and self loathing.

Lessons for the Future

We need to heed the warnings of history. From ancient Rome to modern America, the results of absolute power are the same. The death of liberty, freedom and morality is the sure consequence of allowing one man, or group of men to become all powerful. The USA is no different. Since the 9/11 attacks we have seen the erosion of our sacred liberties in the name of fighting "terrorists". We have seen government agents aquire more power and authority to spy of citizens. We have seen the executive branch of the federal government grow larger and larger. These are warnings, dire warnings. We are one "terrorist" attack away from the end of constitutional free government. When such an attack happens, the American "experiment" in libertarian government and democratic republicanism will be over. It is our job as citizens and patriots to oppose all increases in power for public officials. We must speak out loudly against encroaching tyranny. If we are silent, Power, the Ultimate addiction will have infected so much of the political body that there will be no return.

Conservative Fascists And the End of Liberty

This is the second part of our series 'The End of Liberty". In this essay we will examine the extreme right wing of the American oligarchy. This oligarchy consists of the conservative fascists within the American media, the military, and the poltitical/financial complex. This fascist "fifth column" is hell bent on annihilating the American experiment in self government and taking us back to a day when the elite ruled over the "rabble", and men knew to obey their "betters". If this fascist cabal succeeds American liberty will die and the United States as a free, enlightened republic will disappear forever from the Earth. If this happens, a knew Dark Age will envelop the world. We as defenders of freedom and liberty must defeat this plot. First, we must identify the cabal in order to destroy it. Let us begin.

Government Media Propagandists

Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter all have one thing in common: Extreme nationalistic fascism. None of these so called "conservatives" has any clue what American republican government is about, nor do they care. Like all sycophants for desoptism, they use the gift of demogouery , hate, and 500% patriotism to destroy rational freethought and debate. All of the above have called for "regulating" the internet, jailing "traitors" who oppose the Iraq War, defacto dismantling of the First Amendment, and total war against Arab states in the Middle East. None of this should surprise us. Nationalistic fascism always has it's adherents who seem to crawl out from underneath their rock during times of war, crisis, or national calamity. Most of these fascists are hypocrites and liars. Rush Limbaugh once called for executing people who deal and those who casually use drugs, yet he has been proven to be addicted to narcotics which he illegally bought through his maid from drug dealers. G. Gordon Liddy, an extreme moralist, is a convicted criminal. One of the Watergate burglars, he was part of the criminal Nixon regime and an enemy to freedom. Bill O'Reilly, another bully and moralizer, just last year was forced to pay off a woman he was having phone sex with ( not his spouse), who he also threatened with physical violence and termination of her employment. Although I am not aware of any skeletons in Sean Hannity's closet, nothing would surprise me about him. Hannity is a sadistic and elitist demagogue who craves power and blindly supports any act of the Bush Administration or the Republican Party.

Recently,fascist Ann Coulter called for supression of "liberal" speech. These "liberals" are "traitors" and "enemies of America". Ms Coulter enjoys calling her opponents "un-American". I would very much disagree with her. If anyone is "un-American" it is Ms. Coulter. Calls for censorship, conquering Islamic nations , as she put it " we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity". Let's examine Ms. Coulter's philosophy: commit the USA to aggressive war, assasinate foreign leaders, enslave the indigenous populace and forcibly "convert" them to the Christian religion. Hmmmm. What is remotely "American" about that? NOTHING, if you look at it through the eyes of revolutionary classical liberalism and not through the eyes of the statist/fascistic mindset. This nation's founders would not recognize such an evil philiosophy as anything remotely patriotic or "American". Ann Coulter, like all fascistic minds, is morally, emotionally, and mentally bankrupt.

All that enters these deluded minds is POWER, DOMINATION, AND CONQUEST. We must remember the right wing fascist is usually an insecure, intolerant, paranoid individual who should never be allowed to have power.

Worship of the Military/Industrial Complex

Since the end of World War II and the advent of the manufactured "Cold War" the American military has grown in size and power exponentially. This growth has created the most powerful , and largest military on this planet. In conjunction with this growth has come the inevitable growth of the favored and corrupt special interests that feed the military Leviathan.
Defense contractors, munitions developers, technology companies who create more and more surveillance technology, are all getting enormously wealthy, not off of a free market, but off their monopoly privileges, and are actively supporting the federal government in it's destruction of American liberty.

The United States, along with all of the other nuclear powers has the potential to annhilate human existance on this planet forever. Even with this awesome power the American military and it's corrupt leadership crave more and more power. Conquest, invasions, overthrowing foreign governments, and assasination has become the norm in American Foreign policy. Jefferson's ideal of "Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship with all nations, entangeling alliances with none" is dead. The neoconservative cabal is in a mad rush to Americanize the globe and in the process destroy all freedom and liberty.

Corporate Government

The United States government maintains a mutually beneficial relationship with Big Business. This relationship has fleeced the American people for decades now. Subsidies for corporations, monopoly contracts with government bureaucracies, and the literal bribing of American politicians through large financial donations to their favored Congressmen and Senators has caused the American people to pay higher prices for goods and services that would be cheaper on a truly free market. This symbiotic relationship between government and corporate America has instigated wars ( Vietnam, The Gulf War, Iraq War, etc) and enriched both government bureaucrats and corporate CEOS. This form of modern mercantilism is rapidly destroying the ability of the United States to be a financial superpower. Massive government and private debt ( some say totalling over 20 trillion dollars) is a cancer that will inevitably result in revolution or dictatorship.

Central Banking Fraud

One of the biggest frauds perpetrated by the conservative/fascist elites is the imposition of central banking on America. The First attempt was during and just after the American Revolution by conservative elites looking to recreate the corruption and hierarchy of the British government. The second attempt was even more dangerous. Led by conservative despot Alexander Hamilton, the conseravtive Federalists, generally made up of former Tories and wealthy merchants, were able to foist the Bank of the United States on the young republic. Hamilton, a monarchist and advocate of the wealthy dominating government, began by proposing corporate welfare and the uniting of "the wealthy interest" to the federal government. The Jeffersonian Republicans put up a fierce battle stopping the corporate welfare, but were unable to stop the Bank.

This Bank was to accumulate huge debt by which the Federal government would be financed. Bonds, and Bank stock would be sold and conceivably purchased by wealthy elites who would then control the federal government. Along with this debt would come the boom and bust cycles common to central banking. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson after being elected repealed all internal taxes imposed by Adams and Hamilton. Further the national debt was rigorously paid and the Bank's power was curtailed. The Bank's charter expired in 1811 under the presidency of James Madison.

The next great hurdle, after the Bank's recharter in 1816, was the Jacksonian movement to destroy and repeal the Bank of the US. Andrew Jackson, a firm Jeffersonian, opposed the recharter of the Bank in 1836. He vowed to "destroy the monster". Destroy the monster he did. Jackson vetoed the recharter of the Bank. Before the veto, Bank Chariman, Nicholas Biddle used the power of the Bank to cause a depression in an attempt to cause Jackson to lose the Presidential election. Biddle had no scruples in manipulating the electoral politics of the nation. Biddle's high handed actions backfired and Jackson was not only re-elected, but the Bank was dead.

The financial elite came back again, this time in 1913 with the establishment of the Federal reserve System. The FRS, a system run by private banking interests, sets interest rates, manipulates credit and debt, and has caused an endless chain of boom and bust cycles since it's inception. All through these cycles wealthy interests become even more wealthy and powerful, while the common people of the USA suffer depressions, recesssions, high taxes, massive debt, and eventual poverty.

Conservative fascists love the corruption, power and wealth that central banking brings. Central banking from the American Revolution to our day has been used to elevate members of the Old Order to higher and higher levels of power and influence. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and other financial elites use this system to fund war after war, all the while the American people become poorer and poorer through inflation, deflation and a continuous declining standard of living.

Regulation of Personal Freedom

Conservatives have always held the Hobbsian view that men are corrupt, stupid and incapable of self government. Men, they maintain, must be "ruled" by fear, powerful central government, and financial interests, all of course, run by themselves. They, of course are immune to the corruption, stupidity and evil of the "rabble". Right wingers complain about high taxes, religious discrimination ( against conservative Christians only), regulations, and bureaucracy. Unfortunately their rhetoric does not match their actions. Since G.W. Bush has been President the Federal government is the largest it has ever been. The Administration has imposed secret trials on "terrorists", including one American, Jose Padilla, torture of prisoners, perpetual war in the Middle East, supported the Patriot Act, and all of it's unconstitutional acts, and proposed eliminating the Posse Comitatis Act of 1878 to allow the standing military law enforcement power in the USA. These acts are the acts of a nascent fascist state. It is the great grandchild of the monarchies and aristocracies of the Old Order. Freedom has been given warning to depart the USA. Conservatives of today are not hidden libertarians or freedom fighters. They are fighting against freedom and for power against the people. You will hear conservatives repeat over and over about "morality", "faith" and "family values", which they say "liberals" and libertarians lack. They conveinently leave out conservative hypocrites, who have no problem lying, slandering, and defrauding taxpayers with their transfering the wealth of taxpayers to special interests. One conservative hero, fascist ex-Marine Colonel Oliver North, when he worked for the NSC during the Reagan administration helped draft secret plans to have the President declare martial law and suspend the Constitution of the United States during a "national emergency". He secretly used the Contra rebels to import narcotics into the USA, all the while declaring himself a patriot.

Colonel North is a decided enemy of personal freedom. He is a rabid supporter of the Patriot Act, the War in Iraq, the use of secret evidence, and the doctrine of classiflying American citizens as "enemy combatants". Colonel North is just one of many fanatical conservatives who oppose liberty.

Unfortunately, most rank and file conservatives support these maniacs and sociopaths. Sadly, they have been buffaloed by the rhetoric of right wing radio, magazines like the National Review, The Weekly Standard, and Commentary. These journals promote the state over it's citizens and the power of "organic society" over it's members. This is the doctrine of the all powerful state at the center, with the citizens as satelites. The American Revolutionary doctrine of the sovereignty of the people, individual liberty. and freedom is casually cast aside by these criminals.

What to Do?

The question remains what do we, the American people do? How do we stop these evil tyrants? Every act, and bill proposed must be protested vehemently. Throngs of Americans should hit the streets like our forefathers did protesting against the tyrannical acts of the British government like the Stamp Act and Tea Act. Americans of that era were true "Sons of Liberty". The patriots put the British bureaucrats, monopolists, and Tories on notice that economic and civil slavery were unacceptable and that freedom and liberty are a natural right. We must do the same against the Patriot Act, Secret Evidence Act, and other liberty destroying laws. Conservative fascists are not defenders of freedom. They are the mouthpieces for the ruling economic and bureaucratic elite.

A Radical Libertarian Program

Although I am a supporter of the National Libertarian Platform, and the one from my home state of California, I feel it important that I outline my own platform for a free society and the libertation of America.

The Federal Level

Abolition of all direct federal income taxes
Abolition of the IRS
Repeal of the 16th Amendment
Abolition of all federal affirmative action programs
Constitutional Amendment to repeal lifetime tenure for federal judges
Abolition of the Federal Reserve System
Term Limits for Congress
Constitutional Amendment to allow states to amend Constitution without Congress
Constitutional Amendment creating a national referendum similar to the one in the Swiss Confederation
Constitutional Amendment requiring a 3/4 vote of Congress to raise any taxes
Constitutional Amendment abolishing the President's peacetime Commander in Chief role
Constitutional Amendment requiring both the House and Senate to approve treaties
Abolition of the standing military, with the creation of a national militia system
Repeal of all taxes on Social Security and unemployment checks
Repeal of tyrannical laws like the Patriot Act and the Secret Evidence Act
Repeal of all anti-discrimination laws
Abolition of all federal "right to work laws"
Abolition of all "return to work" orders
Abolition of conscription ( military or civilian)
5 year "sunset" provision for all laws

Of course I am probably missing some, but let's move on

State Level

Constitutional Amendment strenghtening the 10th Amendment and limiting the federal government to truly limited powers
Total separation of religion and government
Repeal of all laws defining corporations as "persons"
Abolition of all laws on the use of drugs ( except punishing violent criminal acts while committed while using drugs)
Abolition of all laws concerning sexual relations between consenting adults
Abolition of all laws preventing citizens from owning firearms
Separation of family life from the state
Abolition of all alimony laws
Abolition of all asset forfeiture laws

Local Level

Abolition of all zoning laws
Abolition of all municipal laws that attempt to make a city into a homeowners association
Reduction of all property taxes to an absolute minimum until a lottery and voluntary system is established
Severe restriction of eminent domain to public necessity only ( not for any private use)
Banning the public financing of stadiums for private corporations ( NLB, NFL, NHL etc)

All these are just steps to a free society. A free society must exist in the hearts and minds of the people. Without that, no program will work.

Crimes of the Bush Regime, and the End of Liberty

In this essay I am going to deviate from some of my earlier political history of our country and focus on what I believe are the crimes of the Bush regime and the consquences that will follow. The largest and most frightening consequence is the end of American liberty and the slow, steady implementation of a police state. This growing police state is supported by so-called "conservatives", religious fanatics, leftist polticians, and unfortunately many average American citizens.

A List of Anti-Liberty Laws and Actions

Let us start with a list of some of the anti-liberty laws that have been proposed and implemented by the Bush regime and supported by both leftists and rightists across the spectrum. After the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the American Imperial regime went into full tilt against liberty. Liberty became the focal point as to why people ( all foreigners) were able to attack the United States. Lax security, lax immigration, lax and inept law enforcement and military incompetence, were all used as weapons to create and cultivate a mindset against personal liberty. This mindset, best shown with lunatics like Sean Hannity and Michael Savage, is a fanatical and phony 500% patriotism. It is a patriotism based, not upon the principles of liberty or the American Revolution, but upon nationalistic fascism. After the attacks we saw the following laws or policies enacted:

The USA PatriotAct
The use of Secret Evidence against non citizens ( soon to be used against citizens)
The imprisonment of foreigners without due process
The imprisonment of American citizens ( like Jose Padilla) without due process or the right to habeus corpus, and defined as an "enemy combatant"
A massive increase in the national debt, through astronomical deficit spending
The abolition of privacy in attorney-client conversations in federal correctional facilities
Gun confiscation in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
The creation of "free speech zones" like the ones outside the Democratic and Republican National Conventions
The creation of a "faith based" office in the executive branch, in violation of the First Amendment
An Undeclared, Unconstitutional War based on falsehoods

These are just a few of the successful assaults on the liberties and lives of Americans by the conservative-fascist coalition. More are coming. Let's review the recent Jose Padilla decision.This decision is the most frightening since it completey overturns the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments to the US Constitution, and violates the Constitution by denying Padilla a right to habeus corpus. Padilla the supposed "dirty bomber" was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare airport in June 2002. After a writ of habeus corpus was filed on his behalf to secure his release, he was transfered to the custody of military authorities in Virginia. The administration then declared Padilla an "enemy combatant" with no rights as provided in the US Bill of Rights. This doctrine, new in the USA, is a terrifiying and despotic measure that all freedom loving people should be aware of. The precedent and it's reprucussions are devastating. This "star chamber" type process denies Americans their constitutional and natural rights of liberty and due process. It is only a matter of time before this new doctrine will be applied to other Americans, more than likely in domestic cases. The expansion of this arbitrary process is inevitable. Liberty is lost by the silent encroachments of government, slowly but surely, until there is little or no liberty left. What is left is a truncated and modified form of false liberty, a liberty that requires government permission to live outside of prison.

The Corporate Government-Media Complex and The Doctrine of Passive Obedience

American media today is not the vibrant free and partisan press it was in the era of our nation's beginning. Today the media, through FCC rulings and deregulation of monopolies, is a large centralized propaganda arm for the federal government. FOX, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC are all part of the same structure. Conservatives and liberals both whine incessantly about a "liberal" or "conservative" media when in reality it is nothing more than a corporate-government media monopoly. Through mergers, tax breaks, and government infiltration our once robust press has become a fraud. This fraud is an illusion of objectivity and "fairness" when in reality it is nothing but mere propaganda. This propaganda censors vital news stories, places government spin on the story, and in many cases through ommission or outright lying distorts the truth or substance of the news. Blowhards and fascists like Bill O' Reilly, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage engage in ad hominem attack, anti-intellectualism, and attempt to prop up government power through religion, militarism, and 500% patriotism.

Part and parcel of this propaganda perpetrated by the corporate media is the ancient doctrine of passive obedience. This doctrine has been used by despots for centuries. The Divine Right of Kings ( as propped up by the Biblical Romans 13), Marxist and Fascist states, feudal societies, etc all crow about obeying "legitimate authorities" and "constituted government". This doctrine is a doctine of slavery. When you hear Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly talk about "your President", "our Commander in Chief" susbstitute king in it's place. What they are doing is using the doctrine of passive obedience to keep the people from rebelling and starting a revolution against their power. This doctrine is embraced by both extreme leftists and rightists who see government as supreme and the people as cattle to be farmed for the aristocracy that is in possession of government. Compare this to the statement of the town of New London, Connecticut in their resolve against the Stamp Act in 1765:

Sec 1 " That every form of government, rightfully founded, originates from the consent of the people"

Sec 2 " That the boundries set by the people in all Constitutions are the only limits within which any Officer can lawfully exercise authority"

Sec 3 "That when ever these Bounds are exceeded, the People have a right to reassume the exercise of that authority which by Nature they had, before they delegated it to individuals"

And finally one of the last sections: " It is presumed that no Person will publically, in the Pulpit or otherwise, inculcate the Doctrine of Passive Obedience, or any other Doctrine tending to quiet the Minds of the People in a tame Submission to any unjust Impositions."

Many fascistic conservatives would consider such comments as treasonous or seditious, just like their forebearers in the English monarchy. We must be vigilent in our fight for liberty. Right now we still have some semblence of liberty: elections, right to protest and petition, etc but conservatives like Hannity, O'Reilly and Savage along with the Charles Schumers, Hillary Clintons, and Charles Rangels are salivating for their chance to abolish all speech they dislike.

The Bush Regime and the Art of Lying

George Bush is a liar. He lied about the reasons for the Iraq War. He lied about many of the details and circumstances surrounding 9/11, he has lied about believing in "freedom" while at the same time propping up the doctrine of "enemy combatants". These lies are, in my opinion, impeachable offenses and criminal in nature. If this sounds too harsh, hang on there's much more. Bush has also created the largest deficit in the history of the US, next year being projected at 717 billion dollars! Now that's conservative, huh? The federal government is now larger than it was under FDR, and LBJ put together! Another conservative ideal, I guess. Of course Bush is rabidly supported by Establishment sycophants in the media like George Will, Rush Limbaugh and other big government so called "conservatives". George Will, an arrogant big government statist, is always pontificating on the good ole' days of statist Teddy Roosevelt, Alexander Hamilton and recently John Marshall. Marshall is a particular hero to Will since he expanded the power of the unelected lifetime tenured court, only something a conservative would love. Will recently wrote an article praising Marshall and his expansion of government against state rights and powers. Will, like most conservatives, loves John Adams also, and is fond of denigrating men like Jefferson and other Anti Federalists, ridiculing them as being unrealistic about government. Government, you see for the Wills, Bushes, Cheneys, Clintons, etc is one of power. Men are sinful, stupid, tumultuous and need a strong government and ruler to keep them in line. This Hobbsian view is a total refutation of the principles of the American Revolution and is instead an embrace of European aristocratical views.

Bush's War on Liberty

With the advent of 9/11, the dry drunk we call President Bush has proposed and supported more inroads on the liberties of the people than any other President in recent memory. His creation of the Department of Homeland Security and his use of Communist advisors, East German Markus Wolff ( head of the dreaded Stasi), and Yegarny Primakov ( head of the KGB) should be a dire warning to Americans. Some "conservative", using Communist despots and murderers to help us with "security". Bush and his then Attorney General, religious fanatic John Ashcroft supported the abolition of attorney-client privilege for federal prisoners, and supported the use of torture for "terrorist" suspects. This of course violates the 8th Amendment to the US Constitution, but the Consitution is irrelevent to this administration.Under Bush's radical fascist doctrine of defining criminal suspects as "enemy combatants" they are to be held incommunicado, and indefinately. These "enemy combatants"are not only foreigners as evidenced by the Jose Padilla case. Now American citizens can be defined by this unconstitutional and immoral doctrine.

Bush's support and signing of the USA Patriot Act is one of his most egregious acts. This "law" violates the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution. It allows the use of "sneak and peek" warrantless searches, monitoring of emails without a warrant, and places a gag order on attorneys, and defendants during a civil suit or criminal case. These laws are worthy of a state of slavery, not one of freemen and women. Conservatives have abandoned their "small government" ideals. Now to be a conservative means supporting unlimited war, unlimited power, and invasions on the rights and liberties of Americans. Statists like O'Reilly and Hannity frequently denounce people who oppose the President as "traitors" and accuse them of "aiding the enemy". Some so-called conservatives like Ex-Communist David Horowitz never lose their love of total power. Horowitz may call himself a conservative, but deep down he is still a Marxist-Leninist. He advocates shutting down newspapers, arresting anti-war protesters, and jailing Bush opponents indefinately.

Bush has not once denounced these calls for tyranny, and he counts these men among his strongest supporters.The President and his minions want nothing less than total control over the population of the United States. Many neoconservatives are calling for the creation of a domestic spy agency like M15 in Great Britian to spy on suspected "terrorists" in the United States. Bush, of course supports such a plan. Morton Halperin, a CFR elitist, has just called for the federal government to create this agency. This type of centralized government is not an American ideal. The United States is one of the few, if not the only nation, to not have a national police force or domestic spy agency. This step, if implemented, would cause America to slide further down the road of despotism and tyranny and would turn this great republic into a state worse than the Soviet Union or Communist China. What would become of American Liberty if such a creation were born? American Liberty would perish and America would plunge into a world of darkness and dictatorship like never seen before.

Right Wing Class Struggles, The Aristocracy vs the People

As Peter Brow has pointed out on his excellent revolutionary libertarian website, the Nation of Liberty, there are two forms of "class struggle" theory, one leftist and one rightist. Both are evil and hateful, but here we will deal only with the right wing version, better known as "snobbery"as Mr. Brow calls it.

This right wing theory is a theory of the love of the wealthy and powerful. All who are not among the elitist rich are considered the "rabble" and "lazy" by the right wing class warrior. President Bush is a avid supporter of this theory by his very actions, if not his words. His connections to oil, gas and defense industries and the massive wealth accumulated by these special interests cause men like him to see wealth as the driving force behind life. Once this mindset is in place every thing in political life is geared towards supporting the aristocracy. Now I am a supporter of abolishing all taxes in favor of lotteries and user fees, but we must examine the motivations behind the massive tax cuts of the Bush regime.

As Libertarians we tend to see things like the abolition of the estate tax, corporate taxes and taxes in commerce as good ideas. Partially, this is true since the theft of taxation destroys the wealth of individuals and businesses, but we must be careful to not to miss the aristocrats motivations. First and foremost their reasons are to further enrich the aristocracy and dilute the savings and economic power of the middle class. We must realize that corporations are NOT persons, but artificial creations of the state with no true consitutional rights. Only human beings have rights, not THINGS. Secondly, if Republicans and Bush in particular wanted to help working people he would abolish paycheck witholding taxes, taxes on social security checks, unemploment checks, and total abolition of the income tax. Instead we have a massive increase in government spending, tax cuts for the elite and more poverty for the rest of us.Most aristocrats like Bush care more about maintaining the corporate-goverment aristocratical oligarchy, as the middle and lower classes sink further into poverty. Massive spending in conjunction with no revenue and no government reduction of spending is a recipe for disaster. This is right wing class warfare where the privileges of the wealthy and their connections with government must be maintained at all costs. These are not the principles of the American Revolution.

Bush, is in league with corporate criminals and scoundrels in the defense industries ( Haliburton, Enron, , the Carlyle Group, etc) to fleece American taxpayers of their hard earned money for power and profit.
Right wing class warfare proposes the idea that people that are poor "deserve" it, and that they are simply losers and deadbeats. Interestingly these same right wingers never propose to reduce taxes on the poor and middle class, or reduce the massive amount of regulations that small businesses and workers deal with. Here lies the hypocrisy; crow about individual responsibility, laziness and welfare mothers, yet continue to keep the welfare state alive and well, keep taxes up and continue to support the massive federal bureaucracy and subsidize big business interests. These "free enterprisers" "donate" money to politicians: ie bribes, and then get those same polticians to pass laws regulating their competitors. Corporations are not freedom enhancing organizations. Corporations are whores. Look at Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Ellison is a huge proponent of a National ID Card and RFID implementation. He is not a freedom lover, and his corporation, Oracle, is a huge beneficiary of government largesse and contracts. As seen throughout history corporations are not the defenders of freedom, free markets or liberty, but are instead defenders of the status quo and their government benefactors. Bush, et al, are those benefactors.

Total Control Surveilence Society

The America of 2005 is a state that is rapidly approaching a surveilence/ command and control society. Republicans, like Bush, are nothing more than intolerant and fanatical collectivists leading us down the road to despotism and slavery. Here are a few items on the federal level leading to the Control State:

The Creation of the Department of Homeland Security ( ie Fatherland)
The Creation of the Transportation Security Agency ( illegal searches, intrusions, etc) " No Fly" lists kept by TSA are a step toward limiting the movements of citizens.
Proposals to use cameras to monitor Americans on public thoroughfaires ( airports, buses, trains)
Use of military propaganda to create an atmosphere of miltarism and phony patriotism
The use of FEMA to move whole populations, forcibly, and seize lawfully owned firearms in violation of the Second Amendment, under the guise of a "disaster", ie: Katrina
Provisions of the Patriot Act violating our most sacred rights under the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments.
"Sneak and Peek" searches without a warrant
Abolition of attorney-client privilege at federal prisons
The passage of the National ID Act, requiring states to all have the sme basic information on their CDLS

Those are just a few on the federal level, and there is more to come. Now let's examine how this "government creep" stretches out to state and local governments, who are sometimes more tyrannical.

Building Code Enforcement with no protection from illegal search and seizure. It is redfined as an "inspection" therefore, no violation of rights exists!
Cameras at intersections and street corners to enforce traffic laws. I believe these lights in violation of the law since an infraction must be committed in the presence of a peace officer. The use of these cameras is twofold, to generate revenue for greedy city governments and most importantly to create a precedent for surveilence in public without probable cause.

The enactment of municipal codes which begin to regulate neighborhoods like a tyrannical homeowners association

Use of Emminent Domain for non-public uses ( roads, bridges, dams, aquaducts, etc) and instead using it to steal the private property of one person to give it to another ( always wealthier or more powerful), usually a corporation that has a contract with the city or county.

The use of environmental laws to destroy the value or condemn the property of individuals. Uusually these laws, advocated by environmental fanatics and leftists, is an attempt to destroy the the ability of the property owner to use his property as he sees fit.

The implementation of laws requiring people to purchase insurance policies such as vehicle, homeowners, or flood. Since a lender does not have to lend to people without such insurance, why is a law needed when these items can easily be purchased by anyone with common sense? These laws exist to back up bad investments by corporations who know that normally they wouldn't lend the money, but if the government ( the taxpayers) back it, why not?

The use of criminal informants in drug and other criminal cases against defendants. These informants are normally liars, theives and other dregs of society willing to lie, cheat and steal their way out of a conviction.

The use of 5th Amendment stealing asset forfeiture law as depriving people never even convicted of a crime of their property and forcing them to prove to the government why they should have it back! Most are not even charged with a crime.

Conservative Collectivism

Modern Bush style conservatism has turned into a form of tyrannical, heartless collectivism. Hatred of anything "left" like antiwar protesters, Cindy Sheehan, non-religious or people of non-fundementalist faiths, opponents of American foreign policy toward Isreal, etc all bring out the worst in these freedom destroying individuals. Hatred of liberty, and the harshness of police state measures seems to be the grand ideal among these folks. Liberty is always seen as license, libertinism, and "whining" by the collectivist conservative. Bush is elevated to God like status where criticism dare not fear to tread. Remember, the king is above any criticism. He is exalted and to be trusted, no matter what. Collectivist conservatives are not proponents of limited government, they are proponents of what Jefferson called "unlimited government". Calls by Bush and other collectivists to "regulate" the internet ( meaning censorship) to "protect morals", is a grave danger to liberty. A free man or woman does not need someone to "regulate" their "morals".

Let's be clear government is a collection of individuals in positions of power who are obstensively are sent there to protect and defend the liberties of the people, never to take it away. Never. Now whether right or left, the seizure and devouring of power on a daily basis becomes an addiction for some ignorant or sociopathic individuals, and sadly, what we would think of as "normal" people also fall for this mental outlook when in power. The Collectivist conservative wants government to rule over people and impose traditional religion, the "opiate of the masses" as Marx called it. Also on the agenda is the imposition of the warfare/welfare state, military conscription in the guise of "serving your country", complusory national service, and near worship of political "leaders" or as in Colonial America, "betters".

Reject Collectivism, and Support Freedom

All polticians, left and right, should be rejected as intolerant collectivists. If one chooses to vote, vote for a Libertarian candidate or some other independent freedom fighter, but do not, not ever, support the "two party system" which is nothing more than two gangs fighting over the spoils of the people's hard earned liberty and livelihoods

REJECT COLLECTIVISM, REJECT BUSH, AND SUPPORT FREEDOM.

Your life might depend on it.

The Left as Enemies of the Principles of the American Revolution

In this essay we will examine the opposition of the Marxist-Leninist Left to the principles of the American Revolution here in the United States. The American Left, as I will refer to them in this essay, truly despise the radical libertarian principles of the American Revolution and the social impact it has had on the United States and the world. In this essay the principles of the American Revolution are not the current principles of the neoconservative movement, nor that of modern conservatism. The American Revolution's principles are that of Locke, Sidney, the English Levellers, and the American Revolutionaries in opposition to the principles of the Old World of which Marxist-Leninism is a product.

The Marxist Leninist Mindset

The Marxist Leninst mind sees man only in economic terms, much like Old World conservatism. Men in both theories exist only in the context of their economic lives, not in their moral and spiritual existance. The Left claims to be "revolutionary" and set on "freeing" the "proletariat" from the oppression of the upper classes. There is nothing "revolutionary" about Marxist philosophy. Marxist philosophy replaces the king, lords and church with the party, the "leader" and "dictatorship of the proletariat". These are all variations of feudal European thought. For example feudal landownership that the nobility used to exploit their serfs is not much different than Marxist "collective farms".In both instances the workers and farmers have no real interest in the property they work on. One works for the lord, the other for the state. In both cases men become slaves. In both instances men are ruled over by overseers and kommisars who direct them what to sow and reap, dole how much they can earn and prevent them, by coercion and police power, from revolting or seeking redress of any grievences. Men are the slaves rather than the masters of their servants, the polticians.

The American Left, once the proud libertarian patriots of the American Revolution, were replaced in the early 20th century by Marxist revolutionaries and "progressives". These Marxists slowly invaded the Democratic Party ( originally formed as the Democratic-Republician party by Jefferson and Madison) and took the party from it's revolutionary Jeffersonian roots to a socialist and statist political party.
Now the Democratic Party is made up of socialists, diversicrats, "multiculturalists", and outright Marxists. Many in the Democratic Party express genuine hatred for " dead white males" like their party's founders. Affirmative action, multiculturalism, and other racially divisive programs are the norm and the principles of individual liberty and Jeffersonian Democracy are cast aside.

The American Left have completely abandoned any semblence of believing in Jeffersonian principles, as have their supposed "conservative" Republican opponents. Both parties believe in a command-control society with orders given from above, or in the old Tory term, from "their betters". Economic and social life are tightly controlled by the leftist mentality, much as it used to be in a monarchial society. Aristocracy in the form of government bureucrats, politicians, and corporations dominate the landscape. Although most leftists do not believe in organized religion, they substitute it with their own religion of multiculturalism, group thought, and social engineering. This is all enforced by their courts of Inquisition. Hate crimes, set asides, affirmative action, preferences, etc are the new dogma of their new secular religion. This religion is like it's nemesis, the Christian Right. Both demand undying devotion to their religious or secular worldview. Both demand uniformity based upon their tyrannical and fanatical belief systems totally at variance with the principles of the American Revolution. Both reject the Revolutionary doctrine of natural rights, and freedom of all against the tyrannical acts of government, ANY GOVERNMENT.

The American Revolution vs the Modern Left

As I have shown in previous essays the American Revolution was a radical libertarian revolution against power and arbitrary government. Left wing ideology ( of the modern kind) is the epitome of power and arbitrary government. Look at the Soviet regime, China, Cambodia's Pol Pot, and North Korea. Are those poor people free? I think not. They are SLAVES. Slavery doesn't just mean chattel slavery, but more importantly mental slavery. Slavery that enslaves the mind is worse than that which enslaves the body. If one can be made to think a certain way, his slavery is total and complete. Communist regimes, following the old order of the alter and the throne, use people like animals. Brainwashing, slave labor camps, mental indoctrination, etc are all the complete antithesis of the American Revolution. The American Revolution on the other hand stood for the rights of mankind. Freedom of speech, assembly, press, religion, protection of habeus corpus, and jury trial, although ancient English liberties, were improved on and complimented by the Lockian view of natural rights. Natural rights are those rights inhernet to us as human beings. Rights of conscience, person and movement being just a few.
Leftists hate this concept. They hate it because if men have natural, unalienable rights and liberties then their feudal plantation of tyranny is immoral and subject to being overthrown. This, is for them ( the Left), is their greatest fear: loss of absolute power.

The Left vs the Sovereignty of the People

Popular sovereignty is a truly radical concept that is rejected by both the right and left. It is the prime ideal of the American Revolution. The Sovereignty of the People is the inalienable right of the people to possess self government and their right to overthrow any government that does not suit their ends. In this ideal all government is instituted for the happiness of the people, and any government that becomes a tyranny or violates the people's rights breaks the social contract with the people who no longer owe any allegience. This doctrine is far more radical than anything a Marxist revolutionary could come up with. This ideal flies in the face of Marxist oppression and despotism. The Left totally and completely rejects this revolutionary ideal. Along with their right wing opponents they rape and plunder the common man through taxes, inflationary banking schemes, regulations, aristocratical privileges for politicians and special interests, and a declining standard of living.
Both left and right are like two Mafia crime families fighting over territory; the territory is the liberty and fortunes of the people..

Conservative Allies

We are taught, or should I say indoctrinated, to believe that the left and right are polar opposites and enemies. This is a falsehood. On the surface, they seem like bitter enemies. Fights over gay marriage, taxes, free trade, budgets, social programs, etc are all surface oriented. Underneath this veneer is the iron hand of despotism. Both camps advocate a powerful centralized government far worse than the British Parliament that the American Revolutionaries revolted against. Now we hear conservatives proposing federal control of marriage, regulating intrastate commerce, preaching total war and empire, and picking and choosing states rights when it benefits them. The left loves this, even though they may hate the conservative social program. More centralized government means more power for when they get into office. Affirmative action, set asides, hate crimes, and other racist measures will be passed at the federal level, further feeding the federal leviathan.
Neither care about Jeffersonian Democracy. In short, there will be a future essay detailing it later, Jeffersonian Demcoracy means rule by the people over their agents. Smaller, local government, and more liberty and freedom for citizens. Jeffersonian Democracy also means preserving and cherishing the natural rights of the people against power centralized government. This is anathema to the left.

Marxism and the Neoconservatives

The current neoconservative movement has it's roots in the left and zionism. Both zionism and Marxist-Leninism are despotic philosophies.
Most neocons: Wolfowitz, David Frum, Donald Kagan, Richard Pearle, Elliot Abrams, William Kristol, have their roots in left wing ideology. Most, if not all, of these neocons are followers of Leon Trotsky and Leo Struass. They totally and completely reject the ideology of the American Revolution. Limited government, individual freedom and liberty, and the sovereignty of the people are alien concepts to these folks. As a matter of fact, many like Bill Kristol overtly have stated that the "Jeffersonian vision" of America is dead. Instead the ideal of a huge imperial Leviathan running roughshod across the globe enforcing what they term "democracy", which is really fascism with the rhetoric of freedom. True democracy is where the people rule, and liberty is secure. Representative democracy or in the language of the American Revolution "republicanism" is not the ruling of the world. Neocons, like their fanatical brothers in Isreal, the Likud, love powerful and centralized government. They are true heretics to the ideals of America and it's revolution.

Marxist Cultural Revolution

I am a supporter of revolution, but only a revolution that secures liberty and freedom. Marxist "cultural warriors" are a different story. Since they hate the principles of the American Revolution and it's radical consequences they are constantly doing their best to engender a cultural revolution within the United States to destroy a once great Western civilization. Below I will outline their strategy:

Destroy the Middle Class

Through high taxes, regulations, and racist affirmative action programs the cultural Marxist begins his breakdown of American Revolutionary principles. Marxists hate the middle class, and strive to drive down their wages and culture. Workers are enslaved by big government taxes like witholding taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, and a multitude of other inane but no less oppressive taxes. The IRS is the enforcement arm of the federal income tax pillage. Seizures of bank accounts, administrative "hearings" without the benefit of jury trial, and imprisonment are the norm as hard working middle class Americans are fleeced to support politicians in Washington and their privileged lifestyle.

Attack on American History and it's Revolution

Most Marxists, unlike the Marxist left of the early 2oth century, spend an inordinante amount of time and energy smashing American libertarian and patriotic icons like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. The American Revolution is labeled a "capitalist" revolution and one where slaveholders and other wealthy elites simply wanted separation from Britian. Now there is some kernel of truth that some American conservatives hated the social and economic consquences of the Revolution, but as Murray Rothbard points out in his "Conceived In Liberty" series, the Revolution was a mass movement of the people. He correctly points out how a minority may hold a leadership role, but that for a revolution to succeed the masses must be behind it. The radical wing of the American Revolution stood for the rights of the people against government and special interests. Men like Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Richard Henry Lee and Patrick henry stood at the forefront for the liberty of the masses. Marxist revolutionaries on the other hand used libertarian rhetoric, but enslaved the masses after the Revolution was completed.

Marxists hate the American Revolution due to it's radical and far reaching libertarian results which are at total variance with their worldview of revolution. The freedom of the individual, economic and personal liberty, the diluting of class distinctions, the annihilation of monarchy and nobility, and the separation of church and state were all results that the Revolution produced. This is anathema to the Marxist, the purveyor of Old World centralized power, who hates personal freedom and individual liberty. Now these cultural Marxists wish to uproot and destroy all of our revolutionary foundation by labeling the Founding Fathers "racist", "sexist", "homophobe", "dead white males" and other nihilistic and empty terms. This propaganda must be refuted! We must redeem our revolution against the despotism and hate that the Marxist Left spews.

Marxists and their consevative opponents have a vested interest in downgrading and shunting the aside the American Revolution: POWER.
Both need to destroy the principles of liberty to erect their tyrannies.

Marxist Deconstruction of Society

In the last 40 years Marxists have practiced the "deconstruction" of American history and society. They have infiltrated colleges and schools and through tenure, served for decades slowly engrafting their hateful and anti-American ideals into the curriculum. Many colleges now have ultra radical left groups who riot for affirmative action, scream for more taxpayer subsidies, and openly discriminate against whites and asians.
One of the methods of deconstruction is to indoctrinate people into hating their race ( usually white males) by calling them "oppressors" and
"white racists". Some colleges even have seminars where young left wing "minority" students stand and berate whites and call them names and telling them to be "ashamed" of their race. Also third world cultures and despotisms are elevated to high status as equal with American republicanism. Witch doctors are praised for using "alternative" medicine, and savage societies are considered 'enlightened". The more savage, the better. Within this vein, the curriculum is changed. Men like Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Shakespeare, Milton, Seneca, Aristotle,and other pillars of Western civilization are shunted aside as "dead white males" and not worthy of being taught to a "diverse" student body.
This deconstruction of American History is really a brainwashing of the young into the nilhistic principles of group think, race hatred, and self immolation. This is and will eventually destroy American society.

Expropriation of Private Property

Marxists hate the concept of private ownership of property, no matter how small. The United States is a nation of the middle class. Yes, there is a wealthy aristocracy at the top that uses it's wealth a power to feed off the people through government, but for the most part 85-90% fall in the middle income bracket. Marxists truly despise the middle class or "bougsousie" as they call them. Marxists used the income and other taxes such as property taxes to expropriate the private property of the middle class to drain them of wealth. Once done, they hope to drive them hopelessly into poverty and ignorance, eventually leading to slavery.

Marxists also love property, government property. Look at the current and former leaders of communist dictatorships. Men like Fidel Castro, the leaders of China and North Korea, and the former leaders of Eastern Europe lived lavishly. Personal servants, limos, bodyguards, all the women they want, high diet, alcohol, etc are all on the menu for these despots. These men are truly the nobility of the comunnist world, with the people as their serfs, and slaves. What communists are actually doing is living like the feudal aristocrats of Old Europe, emulating the despots of
the middle ages. While they live lavishly their people starve, suffer from disease and alcoholism, and live lives of ignorance and superstition. They are reduced to what Jefferson called the " the war of all against all."

Folks, this is the true face of Marxist-Leninist/ Left wing ideology. Don't be fooled by their rhetoric. Remember they hate the very concept of America- individual liberty and self government.
