Young Americans for Tyranny  (19th January 2018)

"It's a fact provable both physiologically and empirically that 'young people' is an oxymoron. The human brain isn't even wired properly until age 25 or so. Add to this a comprehensively available education that doesn't educate, and the path leading youngsters to full-fledged humanity is very thorny indeed. If anyone still harbours reservations about this, a recent YouGov poll should dispel them. It asked American 'millennials' what kind of country they'd rather live in, capitalist, socialist, communist, or fascist..."

My Chat With a Critical Race Theorist  (12 September 2017)

"Critical Race Theory is obviously theoretical in nature. That's meant in the simple sense that it isn't primarily factual ... If theory were only - or simply - factual, then it wouldn't do the political job that 'race theorists' want it to do. In that sense, CRT is very much like Marxist theory. Indeed it is a variation on - or outgrowth from - Marxist theory. As Marx himself put it:..."

Robbing UK Peter to Pay, Bribe or Subsidise EU Paul  (17 October 2015)

"'From each according to his ability, to each according to his need' (Karl Marx).  Could this idealist and unworkable Marxist mantra summarise a substantial part of the behaviour of the EU? If so, what then are the implications for our country and us individually?..."

The Origin of Identity Politics and Political Correctness  (17 August 2014)

"'Identity politics' (sometimes dubbed 'political correctness') is the result of a political-Left major backlash against the mass of ordinary people (in Europe and 'the West'), beginning in the 1920s/30s, in the wake of the persistent failure of Marxist theory to be realised in European 'revolution' or any real change through democracy. In shifting the blame away from Marxist theory and those gullible enough to adhere to it, and on to those the theory had prescribed and predicted would have been the beneficiaries, if only they had responded accordingly ('the [white, male] workers'); then the cognitive-dissonance within the political-left mindset caused by this crisis to an extent was salved..."

New Obama Slogan Has Long Ties to Marxism Socialism  (30 April 2012)

"The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan 'Forward' - a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism. ... [It] reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism..." [EMcD: We would suggest that the Obama campaign knew precisely what it was doing when it chose that particular slogan]

Saul Alinsky  (July/August 2010)

"When David Cameron announced in his Big Society speech last spring that he intended to create a 'neighbourhood army' of 5,000 full-time, professional community organisers, most people probably imagined that he was talking about mobilising the kind of worthy folk who habitually volunteer for good deeds..."

Cameron's 'Big Society' and Its Discontents  (09 April 2010)

"Most know that [Phillip] Blond and other Red Tories have been advising the Conservative Party candidate for Prime Minister in the UK, David Cameron. ... I find the 'Big Society' proposal to be a profoundly disturbing and internally inconsistent policy document. How else can one describe a memo by a Conservative Party that celebrates Burke, Alinsky, and John F. Kennedy's first inaugural address ('Ask not what your country can do for you')?..."

David Cameron's Big Society is a Grotesque Fantasy Inspired by Leftist Subversive Saul Alinsky  (01 April 2010)

"Who is running the Cameronian Party - Common Purpose? ... Sending 5,000 community organisers to harass people into approved activities is reminiscent of the Red Guards invading the countryside during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Claims that they will not be state employees are contradicted by the references to 'grants' that will be made available. ... Those who prate most about 'communitarianism' are precisely those who have destroyed real communities..."

Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky  (13 January 2008)

"Most Americans [have] never heard of Saul Alinsky. Yet his shadow darkens our coming election. Democrat frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama both worship at the altar of Alinskyism. In a 1971 book called Rules for Radicals, Alinsky scolded the Sixties Left for scaring off potential converts in Middle America. True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within..."

From Marx to Lenin, Gramsci & Alinsky  (1990)

"The pathway to socialist oppression is no longer bloody revolutions. The omnipresent dialectic process is far more subtle and effective. Enhanced by the steady drumbeat of the media's pervasive, suggestive and anti-Christian stimuli, minds are dulled and the masses indoctrinated everywhere. While people in the Soviet Union knew they were trapped in a cruel system, many could still think factually and logically. Today's managers of mind control [in the West] have nearly perfected the social 'science' of collective brainwashing. How did we get here?..."

Communism

It's Communism - Not Capitalism - That Is Evil and Coercive  (26 July 2019)

"I always used to enjoy reading Owen Jones. I used to think that he was a writer of integrity who passionately advocated for equality, but who was ultimately misguided in how to achieve this ... His book Chavs highlighted the fact that the working class in Britain are frequently maligned, scapegoated and powerless. It was a refreshing read from a left-wing commentator ... It is, therefore, disappointing to see how, in a desperate attempt to be forgiven and accepted by the Momentum crowd, he has now become their chief propaganda minister..."

Ignorance of Communism Isn't Surprising - History Is Written By the Left  (21 July 2019)

"When Ash Sarker of Novara media declared 'I'm literally a Communist, you idiot' ... her remarks spawned op-eds and even T-shirts, currently being hawked for 20 quid a pop by the 'good capitalist' at Novara Media. It's easy to laugh. Sarkar is clearly an extreme case, whose views would be condemned by most sensible people, Yet the logic behind them - and the distinct lack of taboo around such statements - is pervasive, and arguably owes a lot to the way we teach and conceptualise history..."

Why Does the Left Still Think It's Acceptable To Be A Communist?  (18 July 2019)

"'I'm literally a communist, you idiot.'  These words were shouted by Ash Sarkar at Piers Morgan, live on TV. It's a clip that has now gone viral and has seen Sarkar lauded as hero by the Left ... [W]hat is surprising - and sickening - is why anyone in the UK would proudly declare themselves to be a communist or happily spend £29 on a t-shirt sporting this phrase. Of course, most teenagers with a flimsy grasp of economics and zero understanding of history might wear one if they were feeling particularly desperate for attention one day. But surely anyone with even the most basic understanding of history over the past 100 years - not least someone who has been invited onto [a] show watched by millions of people - would brush up on their facts..."

Abortion Is Still Communism's Deadliest Weapon  (31 October 2017)

"Communism lost the Cold War [sic], but its most effective weapon against the West - abortion - is still claiming lives. From 1917 Russian embraced sexual freedom, underpinned by the right to abortion. Western campaigners followed suit much later, with 1960s cultural Marxists regarding abortion as the perfect way of undermining Western culture in a secret war against capitalism. Historically, in the UK, abortion was not a priority even among the far-left, let alone working-class voters..."

When Did Fascism/Communism Become Fashionable Again?  (02 September 2017)

"I found the image above in a Facebook page. The following is my response to it: ... Yes, it's those double-standards again! That is, National Socialism/Fascism = bad. International Socialism (Communism, Trotskyism) = good. This is striking primarily because - according to many - communism claimed far more lives than Nazism in the 20th century..."

Which Is More Sinister - the Swastika or the Hammer and Sickle?  (06 October 2012)

"Sometimes I see a young person wearing a hammer and sickle badge, or some other trinket of Communist kitsch. And I say to him or her 'would you wear a swastika?' They look at me, baffled. I explain to them that the badge that they are wearing was also worn by guards in terrible, deliberately murderous concentration camps. They look at me blankly, or swear at me. Maybe one day I'll get through. But I continue to be amazed at the way in which our educated classes - who most certainly know better - excuse the apologists of Stalin when they would never excuse the apologists of Hitler..."

A Review of You Can Still Trust the Communists...to be Communists (Schwarz and Noebel)  (24 August 2010)

"It has long been noted that the fall of the Iron Curtain did not spell the end of Communism. It is still alive and well, mainly in Western universities, and amongst many of our ruling elites. Because this ideology still has such a powerful hold, it would be premature to throw out your collection of anti-Communist books..."

Ceausescu Regime Used Children as Police Spies  (22 July 2006)

Communism and the Family  (1920)

"[T]he whole life of the proletarian family is developing in a way that is new and unfamiliar and, in the eyes of some, 'bizarre'. ... They have not yet understood that a woman must accustom herself to seek and find support in the collective and in society, and not from the individual man. ... the workers' state will come to replace the family, ... the obligations of parents to their children [will] wither away gradually until finally society assumes the full responsibility..."

Communism and Socialism  (No Date)

Nature and Goals of Communism / Socialism  (No Date)

The "statues of Lenin [have been] toppled throughout the Soviet empire and the head of Karl Marx [has been] severed once and for all from any connection to a body politic. Yet the lips of the severed head continue to move. In the West, leading intellectuals, many who would not allow themselves to be called Marxists, profess to hear a message they insist is relevant to our times..."

Nelson Mandela

Mandela Wasn't Exactly Jesus Christ  (08 December 2013)

"Wasn't it Nelson Mandela who once said, 'But I say unto you, Love your enemies...'? No? Well, you can understand my mistake. Amid a dozen pages of gushing hagiography one of our broadsheets actually did say that Mandela taught the people to forgive their enemies..."

Nelson Mandela: More Inconvenient Truths  (07 December 2013)

"Dare to write on any controversial issue of the day, especially one drenched in political correctness, and you will see real quick why it might be wiser to just live in a cave somewhere. The haters come out in droves, and it can be a rattling experience to say the least..."

Mandela 'Man of Peace'  (06 December 2013)

"Rivonia is a leafy suburb of Johannesburg, and it was here that a cell of communist terrorists plotted their deadly crimes against the legitimate government of South Africa. South Africa is a huge country, with diverse communities and a history of brutal tribal conflicts, and in 1963 these conflicts were kept in check by a government struggling to deal with extremes of culture without disrupting any particular culture too much..."

Nelson Mandela - Just Another Thug  (27 June 2013)

Socialism

Cuba, Castro, and Socialism's 'Useful Idiots'  (28 November 2016)

"It was Lenin who talked about 'useful idiots' in the West who did all the dirty work for the Communists: they sang the praises of Marxism while tearing down the free West that they lived in. The Communists sat back and laughed as these clueless wonders did their spade work for them, knowing that once they got into power these folks would be the first to get a bullet in the head. But they performed a useful service to the Communists as they denigrated the West and its freedoms and sought to defend to the hilt this bankrupt and diabolical system. One would have hoped that this would have ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall, but not so. These Western stooges are still trying to defend socialist hellholes like Cuba, and the number of Western lefties now singing the praises of Castro is staggering..."

Socialism Tested in the Classroom  (07 February 2015)

"An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, 'OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism..."

Fascist or Socialist? English Kicked Into Touch Yet Again  (01 April 2013)

"It's instructive to lay side by side Roosevelt's New Deal, Hitler's Four Year Plan, and Stalin's Five Year Plan. One will instantly see that the three documents are remarkably similar, which isn't surprising considering that the first two were largely composed, and the third inspired, by the same individuals. Hence, if the word 'socialism' is to mean anything at all, other than implied praise or abuse, the economics of all three countries were at the same time inspired by the same - socialist - ideology. Obviously there were differences, there always are. But those were slight variations on the same theme: corporatist socialism as advocated by Roosevelt, national socialism as practiced by Hitler, international socialism as propagated by Stalin. Add to this democratic socialism by which [Ed] Miliband presumably swears, and socialism emerges as the common denominator to which they can all be reduced..."

Utter Contempt  (09 March 2013)

"The recent dialogue featured on GoV between the Baron and an unnamed British journalist got me thinking a bit... Of note was the utter contempt with which the journalist approached a right-of-centre position, and the holder of that position. I grew up among Socialists, but I did a very unacceptable thing: I kept an open mind..."

What's Socialist About State Ownership?  (11 October 2012)

"The left's real interests are moral, cultural, sexual and social. They lead to a powerful state. This, not because they actively set out to achieve one. Many leftists fondly imagine they are rebels against authority, and liberators of mankind. It is because the left's ideas - by their nature - undermine conscience, self-restraint, deferred gratification, lifelong marriage and strong, indivisible families headed by authoritative fathers. Without these things, society becomes anarchic, chaotic, lustful and violent - unless it is very heavily policed and supervised..."

Is Jesus a Socialist?  (26 September 2011)

"The OED defines socialism as 'a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole'. Since it is a political and economic theory it always means that in reality the government owns or regulates the economy. When the government regulates but does not own the means of production, it is called fascism, as in Nazi Germany. When the government owns and controls the means of production it is called communism, as in the former Soviet Union. ... Where does the Bible teach such a political and economic theory? According to Gregory Paul in the Washington Post it is expounded in the early chapters of Acts..."

Can There Be An 'After Socialism'?  (2003)

"Socialism means the abolition of private property, profit, and voluntary exchange. It means the organization of the production and distribution of goods and services - that is, the fruits of human invention, innovation, thought, risk, talent, and labor - by political planners who allegedly know both what people need and how to satisfy that need. It means the expropriation and allotment of wealth according to those planners' sense of value. Socialism may be understood by any child. It is taking other people's stuff. It is also the rash and ignorant slaughter of the goose that lays the golden eggs. That story is folkloric and enduring, however, precisely because it reflects something deep in human nature. Thus, one could only speak realistically of an 'after socialism' if one eliminated envy, resentment, force, irrationalism, and political ambition from our affairs. That, however, would be in another world..."

Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party / Momentum / SWP

The Most Dangerous 'Paedo' Word  (02 October 2017)

"...paedocracy, rule by children. ... youngsters tend to vote for Left-wing politicians and causes, whereas older and wiser heads are more likely to vote the right way. The two latest polls follow this trend: but for the youth, the Leave vote would been a landslide, rather than merely a convincing majority; and Corbyn would have lost the general election by a crushing margin..."

Your Supper is in the Dustbin  (30 September 2017)

"It's countdown to Corbyn. We shall not be kept waiting for long before we find ourselves living - if 'living' is the right word here - under the most extreme left wing government Britain has ever seen. Corbyn's plans make Michael Foot's 1983 manifesto - called at the time 'the longest suicide note in history' - read like a discussion paper produced by the Monday Club. The Corbynistas are preaching 'Socialism for the 21st century' - an oxymoron to rival 'Valve radios for the digital age'..."

Corby et Urbi: Brace Yourself, Britain  (27 September 2017)

"One has to admire Corbyn's understanding of politics and economics. His ascent to power, he forecasts dispassionately and accurately, will produce an immediate run on the pound and a collapse of business investment. An economic catastrophe, in other words. ... Yet in spite of displaying such impressive analytical acumen, Corby is seeking power with nothing short of maniacal persistence. ... Such insouciance in the face of the disaster likely to hit common folk ... would be incomprehensible in a party supposedly committed to looking after the common man  - but only if we confused its slogans with reality..."

Labour Anti-Semitism Explained in One Word  (26 September 2017)

"This word is hardly ever applied to socialists in general or the Labour party in particular. In fact, most people, even many of those who aren't themselves socialists, wince whenever this word is used. However, it's not only appropriate but sufficiently explanatory. The word is evil. Once you realise that both the philosophy of socialism and, more important, its psychological inspiration, are evil, everything falls into place. The trouble is that most people refuse to acknowledge this simple and amply demonstrable fact. Socialism has somehow acquired a warm glow, whose spectrum includes shades of fairness, equality, love, caring, sharing..."

None Dare Call it Conspiracy  (14 August 2015)

"A Sun journalist opined on today's Sky News that the real question about Jeremy Corbyn is whether or not he's a leader. This obsession with leadership is a relatively recent phenomenon, as if a strong leader is ipso facto a good thing, regardless of where he's likely to lead the country. Messrs Stalin and Hitler, both unquestionably strong leaders, would no doubt agree. A more interesting questions about Corbyn is whether or not he's a front man for a hard-Left conspiracy to take over Britain..."

National Socialism (Nazism)

Who Were Those Far Right National Socialists?  (24 September 2017)

"After today's elections it seems likely that the Alternative for Germany party will hold seats in the country's parliament. The BBC and all our newspapers are appalled. First item on the news this morning the presenter said, 'This will be the first time members of the far right have achieved significant political representation since the days of Hitler's Nazis.'  I can find only one thing wrong with that statement: the Nazis were not a party of the far right, or indeed of any sort of right. They were called The German Workers National Socialist Party. And the name was appropriate..."

A Short History of Leftist/Nazi Violence  (29 August 2017)

"Socialists/Progressives are still utterly committed to violence and intolerance. We shouldn't be surprised. Like their estranged brothers, the National Socialists (Nazis), International Socialists/Communists murdered dozens of millions of people - and persecuted/imprisoned/starved/'liquidated' many more - in the 20th century (eg, in China, the Soviet Union, Cambodia, various Africa States, East Asia, Eastern Europe, Cuba, North Korea, etc). Today they're still fixated on violence and intolerance..."

If You Want to Fight Nazism in America, Fight the Abortion Industry  (16 August 2017)

"The majority of our citizens do not sympathise with Nazism outright. Many, however, sympathise with some of the primary goals and most brutal tactics of the Nazi party ... I'm sorry, but I just cannot stomach a 'You should be more forceful in condemning Nazism' lecture from someone who has spent the last 40 years demanding that we applaud while millions of people have their skulls crushed by abortionists. Even less can I tolerate someone who wants to protect the innocent by tearing down historical statues, but cries about human rights violations when someone vandalizes a building where actual human beings are butchered and sold for parts..."

Lessons from Little Charlie Gard  (26 July 2017)

"The Nazi death machine ... did not just appear out of nowhere, but was solidly based on various nefarious ideologies that preceded it. Ideas and worldviews promoting the survival of the fittest, and an entirely naturalistic view of life, contributed greatly to the eugenics movement in general and Nazism and the Final Solution in particular ... A materialist worldview and a low view of life will readily lead to the concentration camps, as well as to experts telling us who should live and who should die ... The culture of death goes hand in hand with the naturalistic worldview..."

No More 'Nazi' Please  (25 February 2017)

"As many of are all too aware, a young female member of the Revolutionary Communist Party named Sunsara Taylor faced off with Tucker Carlson the other night over the question of whether or not the president of the United States is a Nazi, a Fascist, and an advocate of nuclear war, a bad hairpiece, liar, and a misogynist, but principally a Nazi. An actual Nazi..."

Leftists Become Incandescent When Reminded of the Socialist Roots of Nazism  (25 February 2014)

"On 16 June 1941, as Hitler readied his forces for Operation Barbarossa, Josef Goebbels looked forward to the new order that the Nazis would impose on a conquered Russia. There would be no come-back, he wrote, for capitalists nor priests nor Tsars. Rather, in the place of debased, Jewish Bolshevism, the Wehrmacht would deliver 'der echte Sozialismus': real socialism. Goebbels never doubted that he was a socialist. He understood Nazism to be a better and more plausible form of socialism than that propagated by Lenin. Instead of spreading itself across different nations, it would operate within the unit of the Volk..."

Fascism

Beware of Fascism  (12 April 2019)

"The word 'fascism' has suffered a hyperinflation and consequent loss of meaning ... one has to specify exactly what one means by fascism. So here's my definition: it's a systematic attempt by mob or state (typically first by one, then by the other) to make people submit to a pernicious ideological ethos that deliberately perverts morality, culture and common sense in pursuit of power. The political slogans brandished by a fascist mob, or whether it's described as right-wing or left-wing, are to me immaterial. It's the core that matters, not the veneer ... fascists don't argue: they scream, froth at the mouth, bully, threaten and dictate. In that spirit, the philosopher Roger Scruton was sacked as housing advisor to the government for saying, among other 'controversial' things, that homosexuality isn't normal. Sir Roger should have been more up on his terminology: normal is what agrees with the neo-fascist ethos; abnormal is anything that contradicts it..."

Cowardly Conservatives Sack Housing Tsar Roger Scruton for Political Incorrectness  (10 April 2019)

Stop Funding 'Stop Funding Hate'!  (24 December 2017)

"Stop Funding Hate (SFH) is a political group whose aim is to stop companies from advertising in various British newspapers. ... SFH claims that these newspapers use 'fear and division to sell more papers'. That fear and division is caused (according to SFH) when [said newspapers] refer to the EU, mass immigration, EU laws (which apply in the UK), Islamic extremism, Muslim grooming -gangs, immigrant criminality, Muslim ghettos, sharia law (in the UK), and so on. The very odd things about SFH [is] that it claims to be 'non-partisan'. This claim shows either monumental philosophical naivety or straightforward political deceit..."

International Socialism (Communism, Trotskyism) = good. This is striking primarily because - according to many - communism claimed far more lives than Nazism in the 20th century..."

The Fascism Delusion  (24 August 2017)

"To see how unhinged the fear of fascism has become, look no further than the 40,000-strong counter-protest against the far right in Boston on Saturday. In their thousands, placard-ready, primed for a fight, so-called progressives showed up to face down white supremacy and America's resurgent Hitlerism that we've heard so much about since the Charlottesville disturbances on 12 August. They 'turned out against white supremacy', said Vice. But there were no white supremacists. Far less fascists. The Nazis who stalk the nightmares of ostensibly liberal columnists and leftists in search of a mission were not there, or anywhere. As one counter-protestor asked a Boston Globe reporter: 'Excuse me, where are the white supremacists?'..."

Slaying the Left's Demon: Why There's Nothing Right About About Fascism  (January 2016)

"Following the news of the mass sexual assaults [in Cologne at NYE 2015], PEGIDA organized a demonstration in Cologne on Saturday January 9th and immediately, the broadcast and print media went to enormous lengths to paint the organization as 'far right'. Their devious aim is to associate people peacefully protesting against the Islamization of their countries and demanding the right for women to be able to walk the streets without being sexually assaulted by hordes of misogynist immigrants with the despised 'far right' Nazis and Fascists. Yes, you've read that correctly..."

Yesterday Marked A Great Anniversary of Human Folly  (24 August 2015)

The two predators divided Europe between them, pushing the button for history's bloodiest war. ... What's truly significant is that the Pact caught the West by surprise, proving yet again that civilised nations have no real understanding of fascism..."

Neither a Fascist Nor a Communist Be  (02 April 2013)

"Would it have been OK if Paolo di Canio had declared himself a communist?  Would David Miliband have resigned in that case?

Unite Against Fascism's (Sabby Dhalu) Marxist Analysis of UKIP  (22 February 2015)

"UKIP's primary political positions are the complete withdrawal from the EU and a halt to all International Socialist political and social experiments in mass immigration. (Unmandated experiments, need I say, on the British people.)  Predictably then, Leftists have called UKIP a 'racist party' and 'far right' (the latter being a neologism for 'fascist' or even 'Nazi'). That's not a surprise; such people call virtually all those who dare to disagree with them (or to the Right of Che Guevara/Trotsky) 'racist' or 'far right'..."

"In scenes reminiscent of Nazi thugs smashing a Jewish shop in Berlin, Antifa an allegedly antifascist organization dedicated to the intimidation and silencing of political opponents, broke up a public discussion about freedom of speech between Sargon of Akkad and Israeli Professor Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand think tank at Kings College London last week..."

Masked Bullies in King's Attack Pave the Way for a Genuine Threat  (12 March 2018)

"The snowflakes who landed on the meeting at KCL like wet sleet are not important; they will wash away like water. they are strangely close to the imperialists exemplified by Cecil Rhodes who they so despise ... There is silliness and sadness in this but also danger. The Left has turned away from the centre ground, not to embrace political reality but fantasy. While they make idiotic gestures they ignore the dangerous new alliance forming between Russia, Iran, Syria and Turkey. They ignore tyranny which created more migration and instability, and they will not face up to radicalisation among migrants in the West..."

Violent Thugs Shut Down a Free Speech Event at King's College London  (06 March 2018)

We will not be deterred from fighting against the authoritarian nature of safe spaces and no-platform policies" [Event chairman]  /  "I strongly respect and encourage the right to freedom of speech, the right to challenge each other and the right to peaceful protest ... the event was marred by violence by people who took an extreme and unacceptable approach" [President of KCLSU].

Masked Antifa Attack Student Free Speech Event, Injure and Vandalise  (06 March 2018)

"The left-wing thugs used fire alarms, smoke bombs, and loudhailers to disrupt proceedings, shouting 'no fascists on campus' and 'no free speech for the Alt-Rights'. ... KCL Libertarian Society leaders [said] 'This was an act of violence, clearly intended to silence Yaron and Sargon's planned debate, via a series of jackbooted totalitarian tactics...'"

Antifa: The Militant Wing of Authoritarianism  (06 March 2018)

"King's College London became the latest free-speech battleground last night as a group of co-called anti-fascists shut down a debate between YouTuber Sargon of Akkad and write Yaron Brook ... Neither of these men could by any stretch be called 'fascists' ... disruptions of this kind are just the most visible form of censorship on campus...""

YOUTUBE:  Yaron Brook: Antifa Attacks and Defeated - Full Story  (05 March 2018)  [NB: video starts at 50 seconds]

"In this episode, Yaron recaps what happened at King's College and the details of Antifa's attack during a free speech discussion."

"The UK is a free country because there is freedom of speech, thought, conscience, and belief, but these freedoms are under attack ... Universities should be places where students learn how to think. Many have instead become places where students are programmed with politically correct groupthink, where deviation from the politically correct narrative is a punishable offence ... University students are adults: if they can't listen to an opinion that they don't agree with without needing to go to their safe space, then they shouldn't be at university. Nobody is going to agree with every opinion they hear, but students should not be mollycoddled. They do not need protection from being offended. This is particularly true for most visiting speakers: students normally have a choice as to whether they go to listen to them or not. There is no reason to 'no platform' a visiting speaker unless they are inciting violence. If freedom of speech is eroded, either actively or passively, then we replace it with totalitarianism, where everybody is required to have the same opinion and thoughts" [source].

The Left-Right Paradigm

The following extract is taken from the article: The Left-Right Paradigm and the New World Order

"On the Right:  we have faux-Conservatives - nothing more than Crony Capitalists/Corporatists.  The 'Conservatives' represent big business, especially Globalist interests; the military industrial complex; the finance industry; aristocratic and old wealth (eg the Rothschilds); and foreign billionaires.

"They represent controlling and subjugating the masses, and preserving power in the hands of a small corrupt supranational elite.

"On the Left:  we have faux-Liberals - nothing more than Cultural Marxists who have long since destroyed Classical Liberalism.  The 'Liberals' represent all totalitarian and unelected bodies of power and sources of wealth and micro-management and control of people through the Unions; the EUSSR; ever-enlarging NGOs, Charities, and Voluntary sector; and ever-increasing Government at every level.

"They represent controlling and subjugating the masses, and preserving power in the hands of a small corrupt supranational elite.

"The Left-Right paradigm makes less and less sense ... It is controlled and given to us by academia, which has been almost completely controlled for generations by Leftist leaning academics, who give us a spectrum which they say has on the Far Right: monarchies, oligarchies, crony capitalists, radical Islam, Christian Fundamentalists, Neo-Nazis, and Fascists of all stripes... but on the Far Left: Communism...  It seems somewhat unbalanced.  All those listed as 'Far Right' seem very different to one another.

"A better way to understand it is that it is not simply a Left-Right scale, but ... also an Up-Down scale: It is Collectivism verses Individualism.  Or, Big State verses Small Government.  It can mean believing that the State knows best and has a right to tell you what to do and interfere in your life verses believing that the ultimate way of determining how successful a country is is by how small the Government can be whilst still maintaining or increasing the same standard of living.  See here"

The Real Left-Right Paradigm

Far-Left  <--  Left  <--  Less Freedom  <--  Government Power   |   Individual Liberty  -->  More Freedom  -->  Right  -->  Far-Right

Communism/Nazism/Fascism/Marxism  <--  Socialism  <--  Liberalism/Progressivism  <--  Centrism (aka Populism)  -->  Conservativism  -->  Libertarianism  -->  Anarchism

The Frankfurt School

"The Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief - or even the hope of belief - that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke socialist revolution.

Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the Judaeo-Christian legacy. To do this they called for the most negative destructive criticism possible of every sphere of life which would be designed to de-stabilize society and bring down what they saw as the 'oppressive' order. Their policies, they hoped, would spread like a virus - 'continuing the work of Western Marxists by other means' as one of their members noted.

To further the advance of their 'quiet' cultural revolution ... the [Frankfurt] School recommended (among other things):

(1) the creation of racism offences,
(2) continual change to create confusion,
(3) the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children,
(4) the undermining of schools' and teachers' authority,
(5) huge immigration to destroy identity,
(6) the promotion of excessive drinking,
(7) emptying of churches,
(8) an unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime,
(9) dependency on the state or state benefits,
(10) control and dumbing down of media,
(11) encouraging the breakdown of the family.

One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud's idea of 'pansexualism' - the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:

(a) attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children,
(b) abolish differences in the education of boys and girls,
(c) abolish all forms of male dominance - hence the presence of women in the armed forces,
(d) declare women to be an 'oppressed class' and men as 'oppressors'."

Programmes of Treason

"There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state:

• Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people;

• Poverty - Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live;

• Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That wa6y you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty;

• Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state;

• Welfare - Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income);

• Education - Take control of that people read and listen to - take control of what children learn in school;

• Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools;

• Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take from (tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor" [source].

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
(Isaiah 5:20-21)
