How To Stamp Out Cultural Marxism In A Single Generation
Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,
There are very few legitimate cultural divisions in the world. Most of them are arbitrarily created, not only by political and financial elites, but also by the useful idiots and mindless acolytes infesting the sullied halls of academia.
It is perhaps no mistake that cultural Marxists in the form of "social justice warriors", PC busybodies and feminists tend to create artificial divisions between people and “classes” while attacking and homogenizing very real and natural divisions between individuals based on biological reality and inherent genetic and psychological ability. This is what cultural Marxists do: divide and conquer or homogenize and conquer, whatever the situation happens to call for.
They do this most commonly by designated arbitrary "victim status" to various classes, thus dividing them from each other based on how "oppressed" they supposedly are. The less statistically prominent a particular group is (less represented in a job field, media, education, population, etc.) in any western society based on their color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, etc., generally the more victim group status is afforded to them by social justice gatekeepers. Whites and males (straight males) are of course far at the bottom of their list of people who have reason to complain and we are repeatedly targeted by SJW organizations and web mobs as purveyors of some absurd theory called "the patriarchy".
Although cultural marxism does indeed target every individual and harm every individual in the long run, my list of personal solutions outlined in this article will be directed in large part at the categories of people most attacked by the social justice cult today.
I do not write often about PC cultism and social justice because the movement is only a symptom of a greater problem, namely the problem of collectivism. The only true and concrete social (group) division is the division between collectivists and individualists: between those who believe the individual should be subservient to the group mind and those who believe the group is meaningless without the individual mind.
I have already spoken on the root dangers and logical inconsistencies of the social justice cult in articles such as ‘The Twisted Motives Behind Political Correctness' and 'The Future Costs Of Politically Correct Cultism.'
There are many intelligent commentators on the Web who have consistently demolished the PC mob with reason and logic, and I leave that battle to them. In this article I would like to continue my examination but with the goal of presenting some real and tangible solutions. And like most solutions to most problems, it is the individual who is required to draw the line in the sand and change the way he approaches the realm of cultural Marxism. It is not up to groups, organizations or governments.
First, let’s be clear, cultural Marxism has already done most of the damage it can possibly do to our way of life. And by damage, I mean the end of long-standing foundational pillars of society that provide stability and prosperity, including traditional marriage (not government-licensed marriage), family, gender “roles,” etc. (which cultural Marxists openly boast about tearing down).
In Western nations male suicide rates are way up. Women’s proclaimed levels of happiness and contentment are way down, despite the fact that they have had wage equality for decades (yes, the wage gap is a perpetually pontificated Lochness monster-sized myth that was debunked years ago by economists like Thomas Sowell), despite the fact that they have surpassed men in educational participation and despite the fact that they have total control over family planning.
Marriage rates are at historic lows since the 1970s and the rise of social justice activism. Of course, the argument is often presented that economic decline has more to do with this than cultural Marxism. However, setting aside the rising tide of men who fear being bled dry through divorce settlements based on double standards, the West’s economic decline (and thus marriage decline) can be correlated to the increase in overt debt spending. And debt spending is driven directly by socialist legislation, entitlement programs and social welfare addiction, more so even than it can be correlated to military spending.
Therefore, cultural Marxism and its vicious attempts to forcefully “harmonize” wealth through taxation and welfare have indeed caused the very economic conditions by which marriage is made untenable and families are made unstable.
While women become more and more unhappy, men and masculinity are essentially demonized by cultural Marxists (mainly feminists) as “toxic.” This propaganda campaign has been so successful that men in many first world nations are beginning to pursue, for all intents and purposes, an asexual lifestyle safer from collectivist intrusions and judgments.
As if the psychological browbeating were not enough, the chemistry of the male body is also being warped by estrogen-imitating chemicals present in industrial products, plastics and soy-based foods. A decline in normal levels of male testosterone and an ever increasing hormonal feminization of younger generations of men and boys is becoming prevalent.
Indirect chemical influences aren’t the only threat. Direct drugging of boys (with far greater frequency than girls) with psychotropics in order to subdue their natural tendencies towards physicality and frenetic activity is epidemic in public schools, all with the goal of making boys behave more like girls.
Finally, the erasure of free speech and thought is always the holy grail of cultural Marxists; but this is not always done through government power — at least not right away. Social justice cultists rely more on collective pressure and public shaming tactics to engineer an environment in which people feel compelled to self-censor rather than deal with the hailstorm of witch hunters and wagging fingers.
Cultural Marxists do use government force to police what they consider thought crimes, but usually in an incremental manner. One day, it’s the use of government to demand associations, as with a Christian-owned cake business being forced to work for another party that feels entitled to a gay wedding cake. Another day, it might be a public school being forced to allow boys dressed as girls in the girls’ bathroom or locker room. Another day, it might be the implementation of lowered standards and quotas to force businesses to hire people with victim-group status, even if they are unqualified for the job.
All of these actions impede upon the individual freedoms and privacy rights of others, all under the guise of “equality.” And because cultural Marxists need to constantly observe ever greater modes of oppression and inequality in order to justify their existence, the impositions on individual liberty will never end. Today, people may argue that such violations are “minor” and not to be concerned over. It is happening to strangers or distant neighbors, not to them; so why should they care? Liberty movement champions know full well why this thinking is idiotic; the trampling of one person’s individual liberties is the trampling of ALL people’s individual liberties. Totalitarianism is a virus that feeds on one person to the next until everyone is on the menu.
It is not enough anymore to simply continue pointing out the insanity of political correctness; we must also take useful steps toward reversing the destruction already wrought.
And so, here are my solutions, which must be enacted by individuals in their daily lives regardless of the potential backlash. Do you have leftist leaning friends or family members? It doesn’t matter. Are you employed in a workplace crawling with social justice ideologues? Stop seeing them as part of the equation because they do not matter. Worried about losing a relationship if you make a stand? Say good riddance. This is what must be done by free thinkers if they are to counter and reverse the collectivist nightmare of cultural Marxism.
Feel no shame: Social justice relies on shaming tactics, usually by slandering an opponent with a label that does not really apply to him, in order to control his arguments and behavior. If you don’t care about being called a bigot, a racist, a sexist, a misogynist, a homophobe, etc., then there is not really much that they can do to you.
Do not self-censor: This does not mean you should go out of your way to be antagonistic or act like an ass, but the thought police have power only if you give power to them. Say what you want to say when you want to say it, and do it with a smile. Let the PC police froth and scream until they have an aneurism. Cultural Marxists are generally weaklings. They avoid physical confrontation like they avoid logic, so why fear them?
Realize there is no such thing as white privilege or male privilege: In reality, there is only institutionalized “privilege” for victim-status groups. There is no privilege for whites, males, white males or straight white males. When confronted with such claims, demand to see proof of such privilege. Invariably, you will get a long list of first world problems and complaints backed by nothing but easily debunked talking points and misrepresented statistics. People should not feel guilty for being born the way they are, and this includes us “white male devils.”
Demand facts to back claims: Cultural Marxists tend to argue on the basis of opinion rather than fact. Present facts to counter their claims, and demand facts and evidence in return. Opinions are irrelevant if the person is not willing to present supporting facts when asked.
Do not play the game of "unconscious bias": If social justice cultists can't counter your position with facts or logic, they will invariably turn to the old standby that you are limited in your insight because you have not lived in the shoes of a - (insert victim group here). I agree. In fact, I would point out that this reality of limited perception also applies to THEM as well. They have not lived in my shoes, therefore they are in no position to claim I enjoy "privilege" while they do not. This is why facts and evidence are so important, and why anecdotal evidence and personal feelings are irrelevant where cultural Marxism is concerned.
Let cultural Marxists know their fears and feelings do not matter: No one is entitled to have teir feelings addressed by others. And, a person’s fears are ultimately unimportant. Whether the issue is the nonexistent “rape culture” or the contempt cultural Marxists feel over private gun ownership, their irrational fears are not our concern. Why should any individual relinquish his liberties in the name of placating frightened nobodies?
Demand that society respect your inherent individual rights: Collectivism’s ultimate propaganda message is that there is no such thing as inherent rights or liberties and that all rights are arbitrary and subject to the whims of the group or the state. This is false. I have written extensively in the past on inherent rights, inborn psychological contents and natural law, referencing diverse luminaries, scientists and thinkers, including Thomas Aquinas, Carl Gustave Jung, Steven Pinker, etc., and I welcome readers to study my many articles on individualism. Freedom is an inborn conception with universally understood aspects. Period. No group or collective is more important than individual liberty. No artificial society has preeminence over the individuals within that society. As long as a person is not directly impeding the life, liberty, prosperity and privacy of another person, he should be left alone.
Maintain your rights; they do not hurt other people: PC cultists will invariably argue that every person, whether he knows it or not, is indirectly harming others with his attitude, his beliefs, his refusal to associate, even his very breathing. "We live in a society", they say, "and everything we do affects everyone else...". Don’t take such accusations seriously; these people do not understand how freedom works.
Say, for instance, hypothetically, that I refuse to bake a gay wedding cake for a couple and I am accused of violating their rights in the name of preserving my own. I would immediately point out that no one is entitled to a gay wedding cake, baked by me or anyone else and I have every right to choose my associations based on whatever criteria I see fit. Now, a corrupt government entity may claim I do not have that right. But the fact is I do, and no one — not even government — can force me to bake a cake if I don’t want to. Also, I would point out that the gay couple in question has every right in a free society to bake their OWN damn cake or open their own cake shop to compete with mine. This is how freedom works. It is not based on collective entitlement; it is based on personal responsibility.
Refuse to deny the scientific fact of biological gender: Gender is first and foremost a genetic imperative. Society does not determine gender roles; nature does. A man who chops up his body and takes hormone pills to look like a woman is not and will never be a woman. A woman who tapes down her breasts and gets a short haircut will never be a man. There is no such thing as “transgendered” people. No amount of social justice or wishful thinking will ever allow them to reverse their genetic proclivities. Their psychological and sexual leanings do not change their inborn biological reality.
By extension, we should refuse to play along with this nonsense. I will never refer to a man in a wig and dress as a “woman.” I will never refer to a woman with identity issues as “transgendered.” They are what nature made them, and we should not police our pronouns just to falsely reassure them that they can deny nature.
Deny the illusion of Utopian equality: There is no such thing as pure equality. Society is not a homogeneous entity, it is an abstraction built around a group of unique individuals. Individuals can be naturally gifted, or naturally challenged. But there will always be some people who are more apt towards success than others.
I have no problem whatsoever with the idea of equality of opportunity, which is exactly what we have in this country (except in the world of elitist finance which is purely driven by nepotism). I do have a problem with the lie of universal equality through engineered means.
Standards of success should not be lowered in order to accommodate the least skilled people to facilitate artificial parity. For example, I constantly hear the argument that more people with victim group status should be given greater representation in positions of influence and regard within our culture, from science and engineering, to media, to business CEO's, to politics, etc. The key word here is "given", rather than "earned". There is nothing wrong with one group of people excelling in a field more than another group, and there is nothing wrong with inequality when it comes to individual achievement. We must begin refusing to reward people for mediocrity and punishing success simply because the winners are not part of a designated victim group.
If you are a man, embrace your role: I am a man and cannot claim to know what specific solutions women should take to counter cultural Marxism. I would love to read an article written on the subject by a woman in the Liberty Movement. I will say that men in particular have a considerable task ahead in terms of their personal endeavors if they hope to repair the destruction of social justice.
For thousands of years, men have been the primary industrial force behind human progress. Today, they are relegated to cubicles and customer service, to video games and Web fantasies, to drug addictions and a lack of responsibility. If we have any chance of undoing the damage of cultural Marxism, modern men must take on their original roles as producers, inventors, entrepreneurs, protectors, builders and warriors once again. They should do this for their own benefit, and not for the validation of others.
You don’t have to prove to anyone you do "manly things", just go out and do them. Most importantly, become dangerous. Men are meant to be dangerous beings. That does not mean we are meant to be indiscriminately violent (just as women aren’t meant to be indiscriminately violent), but we are supposed to be threatening to those who would threaten us. Modern society has NOT removed the need for masculinity and I believe people will begin realizing this the more our culture sinks into economic despair. Train in martial arts, learn tactical firearms handling, go hunting and don’t take lip from people. In my opinion, every man should know how to kill things, even if he never plans on using those abilities.
Home-school your children: It’s simple, if you don’t want your kids propagandized, if you truly want them to be free from collectivist conditioning, then you will make the sacrifice and extract them from public schooling. With the introduction of Common Core into U.S. schools in particular, there is no other recourse but home schooling to prevent the brainwashing of cultural Marxism. If you do not do this, you are relying on the hope that your children will escape with their critical thinking abilities intact. Some do, and some don’t. Others turn into mindless social justice zombies. You can give them an advantage by removing them from a poisonous environment, and that is what matters.
The insane lie that cultural Marxists seem to have conned themselves and others into believing is that their “activism” is somehow anti-establishment. In fact, social justice is constantly coddled and supported by the establishment. From politicians to judges to media pundits to the blogosphere, the overwhelming majority of people in positions of traditional power (even in supposedly conservative circles) have been more than happy to become the enforcers of the social justice warrior agenda, an agenda representing a minuscule portion of the public. There is no establishment for the PC army to fight; the establishment bias works vastly more in favor of their ideology than any other. Cultural Marxists ARE the establishment.

Collectivism is slavery. No possible arguments.
Marxism is AOK as long as your rich and are DUE tax payer bailouts.
is that you Frank? Marxism's only good enough for the bank.
Right, your side are the Shining Angels doing selfless battle against the Forces of Evil. Spare us the binary rubbish. Maybe an Avengers comic book might want to use this though? Even if it is a bit trite.
Too many Americans who use the terms socialism and Marxism don't have the slighest fucking idea what they are talking about. It's really quite comical. Cultural Marxism is a laughably inept phrase that means precisely nothing, especially considering Marx was about economics and class, not culture.
Identity politics is frequently used by front groups of geninely Marxist revolutionary groups as a way to recruit for the party. But to understand this you'd actually need to know what you're talking about instead of squealing like girlie men because a cultural Marxist might be hiding under the bed.
Things work much better when Marxists hide under the bed. It's difficult for them to file lawsuits and corrupt the morals of children from under there.
You're just another slave. And you think you are special because you are a "Marxist".
Faced with the choice of doing battle with lots of individual and disparate evils, or with a large organized centrally directed one, I'll take the former.
i beat down every single social justice warrior i come across. they should realize that by now. they would be better off staring into their toilet or spying on ant then harassing me............I could prove this to them but they are so stupid it does not matter.....................Im sure if I just went and got a bull shit $7.25 hr job and begged for hand outs they would love me.............................
@wisebastard
"they would be better off staring into their toilet"
I wish they would look int a mirror.
social justice warriors are cattle.............most people you will ever meet are cattle.......................
I think free people, psychopaths, entrepreneurs, and Usain Bolt are born, not made. I read some researcher said 6% of the population is born with a proclivity towards phychopathy. I don't know what percentage is born with a proclivity towards sheeplism, but judging by what I come across it must be a lot.
We men used to apply an old fashioned, tried and true tactic of beating the living shit out of a demasculinized PC sissy that crawled under our skin one too many times.
If TSHTF and society completes its implosion, then men around the world have a moral obligation to clean the clock of a feminized PC male that gets too mouthy. One thing that I do know, is that a mouthy, bratty "man-girl", when forced to defend himself after spewing his shit at you, tends to be a bit more contrained when he realizes that there are consequences to what comes out of his mouth.
Where I grew up, if you talked the talk, then you had better have been able to walk the walk.
I don't believe in initiating violence against anyone but it certainly does look as if the LGBTQXYZ crowd have set themselves up for some unpleasantness in the future. They are free to live as they please but their lifestyle is unnatural to those of us whom they force their views upon even if it doesn't seem so to them. And people won't stand for having something unnatural pushed on them for very long.
One thing to remember is that the political advocacy groups and grand standers don't necessarily represent the real opinions or desires of the average homosexual any more than the Democrat or Republican parties represent the views of those who are ostensibly their constituents. I respect the rights of any individual as an individual if that person respects my rights in return. That's how a system of security based on liberty must be maintained.
Share it, Brother Frankie!
Want to end cultural marxism? Then end the Federal Reserve
Seriously - a socialized, manipulated money supply is the foundation of statists everywhere, especially now in the United States

Poor old Karl, all he wanted was class war, the end of capitalism and the dictatorship of the proletariat. Now he's landed with all this cultural baggage.
The only 'culture' which interested Marx was making out with the domestic help.

Genius article, pretty much nails the main theme of my book, Atlas Shouts:
"Feel no shame"
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1458217566
I was reading a book based on Randian ideology and it had a twist on the idea and moral compunction for honesty. The basic idea is that honesty forces us to confront reality. Anything that avoids or distorts reality is bad, as in dishonesty.
This article has a lot of those ideas within it.
Author is totally confused, what he describes are attitudes and actions of any corrupted power that thinks it knows better than the people and has nothing to do with culture or Marxism.
For those who want to know what Marxism really is and how it is totally unconnected to the Marx's teachings here is an informative link:

Sometimes I wonder why employee owned and directed companies are not all the rage. I mean, the ownership of ones production should make them all rich, right?
Or is it just the principle of the thing?

Bring back captcha. The cny off shore arbitrage is going to get worse.
I don't know what you were saying exactly but that old lady seemed to be bitching so she can shut her face. My old lady all of a sudden has taken a liking to the Lincoln Town Car I bought last week and now she wants THIS ONE! I already own half of the cars in the parking lot, two Harleys, a classic Honda and god damned Chinese moped that state of MN can't seem to issue me a title for,(that thing should have been sold in July after I fixed the ignition) and she wants ANOTHER car now? I do like that car but come on now.
People are like what the fuck "How many cars do you have?". MOAR cars than you and there are no security interests on any of them. Mrs M rolled up in that Lincoln to her tax law classes and her classmates were like WTF? I told her to take the truck next time. See how I have "empowered" her? Having all of these cars, van and truck is expensive but you can't stop me and it would be hard to pattern me because no one really knows what I will drive on a given day. Get a fucking job already since the kids are getting old enough that they don't need a tit anymore. Hell, it has been eleven years already of me towing the slab. I want to go fishing for the first time in years and I will damn it. I am sick of work.
Anyone need a Moped? 645 miles and like new. 2008 model of some Chinese knockoff. It runs great.

"How To Stamp Out Cultural Marxism In A Single Generation"
dismantle the public education/indoctrination system
re "Cultural Marxists ARE the establishment."
Yes. That's ONE reason it's called the USSA.
It's the Cultural Warfare arm of the ZIO USSA Warfare State.
Its aim is a subjugated, DE-MORALised, deracinated, denaturised, compliant, pussified drone-class - dumb enuf to pay taxes for its own demise & impoverishment while being beholden to every whim & edict of the asset-stripping - and more importantly "soul-stripping" - USUAL SUSPECTS... for whom, the Cultural Marxists are the MOST USEFUL of Useful Idiots in their war ON the "Home Front".
Cultural Marxism is fed to the general population by the 'media' fronting people that represent organisations like the Teaparty and creates a nice diversion from the real reasons for the collapsing social and economic fabric of America brought about by the policies of the 'elites'. Addressing this false narrative will arrest the influence of psychopathic Corporatists that really pull the strings. Doing this you also solve the cultural Marxism issue.
Right on the mark, the media plays us, one against another, and it is amazing how many follow that construct. people don't think, they react, like mice in a maze.
"Let Them Eat Rand" ain't gonna like this article.
It's in his name but he still can't even figure out why everyone assumes he's a socialist/marxist. Wait a minute... yep, I was right, he's already posting furiously on this article. Rest my case. Whoever is arguing with him is gonna need a bigger sock to put in his mouth. Wouldn't be ZH w/o the Rand!
You simply cannot be a politician unless you have leanings towards Socialism.
You are paid from the products of Socialism.
You will undoubtedly support socialised schooling, policing, welfare, military ... and so forth.
So, quit pretending that you are somehow "for" individual liberty ... or that you can EVER "vote yourself some freedom". It is logically-impossible.
Is it not possible to share expenses for the necessary function of civil society without wholesale redistribution, "From each according to his ability to each according to their needs?"
Are there no limits? When politicians get involved they seem to think $60K per year with flat screen TVs, cars, Internet, and cell phones are "Basic needs"? And, of course you can vote yourself some freedom. But if peaceful means doesn't work then it will be taken back by force, sooner or later. It's the way of the world. Elites are walking a tightrope.
WHAT, that is total BS! Socialism, what about our bloated military is for society? They have been trying to destroy socialism for the last 50 years. How is our corporation stealing all our oil, our minerals, our trees while destroying the environment and paying us pennies on the dollar, socialism?
The day our military defends OUR BORDERS, you can talk about the military as socialism, but for the moment it is just a tool of the corporations to keep the oil flowing and the trade route open.
How was the bailing out of banks, SOCIALISM, or the raping of college students, getting them all hooked onto the debt wagon before they have their first job. Or the open borders importing millions of cheap filth from the south, to take away opportunity for OUR KIDS?!
Stupidest statement today!
Come-on!
Your cultural marxism is an effect, not a cause.
Causes have effects. A country that seriously believes in such drivel as "the tyranny of the majority" is totally bound to end up with a multiplicity of minorities all posing as victims of the "tyrannical majority" and theorizing about that.
It's nothing to do with PC. It's an obvious outcome.
Then, for the big business that rules the USA, it's only a matter of picking and supporting the minority that fits their money-making agenda best (hint: it's not the blacks. The pro-black stance is only for show.)
You know me. Get up or die.
Choose, now.
So the true kings of Pax Americana; the Warren Buffets, the Bill Gates, the Apples and the Googles; are cloned Manchurian candidates?
Hahaha ! Mao's ping pong game certainly achieved a MONUMENTal about turn.
Dear Henry started sucking on Confucian Yin and Yang and the US Oligarchy became one huge Maoist gangbang !
Hahaha ! When words acquire such a legendary twist to convolute fact into fiction. The Man who killed Liberty Valance was a chinese laundry man !
SO if I get your right the Chairman of China currently being entertained by Her Majesty the Queen, is in fact making a FAMILY visit to a conquered nation.
"The Windsors have been our very own since we coined 'Religion is Opium of the People' ideological Wars!".... Some reversal of the historical Opium trade!
Poor Marx; he must be turning in his Highgate grave! Nobody had told him that he would finally win ! Not even the Chinese laundryman.
Yet another "poor me, I'm a victim" right-wing Fascist propaganda piece. The press controls the narrative, and the mainstream press is 100% controled by the Fascist right wingers. Do your research: mainstream Republicanism in the USA today is indistinguishable from Fascst Germany of 1933-1939.
Spoken like the marxist you are
Wow you sure are stupid. Literally noting you said here is worth a shit or true. The National Socialist Workers party was quite left wing. While the republicans suck, I would give the nod to the dems for closest to facsist in the US. They are generally more colectivist than the repubs, but they do all suck.
You are only half right, there is no conservative or liberal, unless you consider HR Clinton another JFK (as if). The media, Hollywood, Wall Street, MIC, all run by corporation and Zionists, period. The gig is up, 50+ years of unfettered access to our government regulation has left Washington a hollow shell. It ONLY serves the Zionists and the corporation/wealthy (usually one in the same, note Bloomberg, Rothschild, Saban, Soros, Adelson...The same ones that are pushiong for ISIS and the confrontation with Russia).
They did it to the same to the Russians till they Putin kicked them out. Now Russia, unlike America has no debt, unlike zio America.
The damage to "The West" is unprecedented, worse than the two world wars combined. I say this because, despite their horrific loss of life and wealth the affected countries could always rebuild both materially and demographically. But what's happening now is that Western people are literally being blended out of existance. For example the "American people" of 30 years time will be closer ethnically to that of Latin America than it will to the American population of the 1950s. There comes a tipping point and the throwing open of our borders both here and in Europe reflects its imminent realization.
Ha ha ha
What about the Left wing Fascism we are living under today?
Warren Buffett has said his class has gone to war and they are winning.
They are working collectively, when the masses act as individuals they are easy meat.
In the 19th Century factories of the UK, conditions were appalling.
Collective action made the changes.
Warren Buffett knows the individual is weak.
This is why he is working as part of a group, whilst his group is putting out propaganda about the benefits of being a free individual.
How else can 0.01% of the population take on 99.99% of the population?
"I am a free individual and this is what I think ..... <whatever>"
"Yeah alright, now fuck off"
In the 19th Century factories of the UK, conditions were appalling.
And yet those conditions were so much better than the conditions faced by the rural peasantry that they flocked to the cities in order to work in those factories.
Oh dear..... ever heard of the Inclosure Acts that forced the peasantry off the land?
Obviously not.
Oh dear... it never occurred to you that if one can be forced off the land that the conditions inherent in living on that land were sub-optimal to begin with? If you doubt that position then become a sharecropper in some God forsaken place in the middle of nowhere and tell me of the opportunities you find there.
Also note that the Enclosure Acts were government sponsored and supported regulations. Citing the vagaries of government hardly makes a good case against individual liberty.
Most will go where they must, either by the barrel of a gun or the promise of a meal.
Most people feel trapped, like they have no choice, but for us, we are no where near close to what being without choice is really like. We just mope about because we don't like the choices available....choices that in most cases we have helped to create. Ideologies represent a belief that they can substitute for real labor and sacrifice. That JUST IF, we had that perfect system, that all would be right in the world. Those on the left are most acutely attuned to this but ALL ideologies are selling it. Our life IS NOT an ideology. It is simply a series of choices made in response to alternatives available, real and illusionary depending on how good the salesman.
Society is built upon trust and destroyed by its loss. The continual selling of lies is killing society, killing trust, and no contract or ideology will restore it. Trust, like any reputation, takes years to create and but moments to destroy sometimes, but we throw it about like it can be bought at Walmart. God knows banks and government are furiously printing and handing out money as fast as they can to try and buy what trust and confidence they can, but it is devaluing more quickly that it can be replaced. A deflationary spiral if ever i did see one.
The recognition that you own your own body and the fruits of your own labor is not an ideology. That aside, we are in agreement.
"Society is built upon trust and destroyed by its loss."
And as Putnam - and common sense - have shown, trust dies in a multicultural society. Hence the mass immigration agenda.
The enclosures acts took their land so they were now slaves of wealthy land owners.
They thought the factories and the City would be better.
Then they became slaves of the factory owners.
As one commentator said at the time:
“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.” Leo Tolstoy.
At the start of the 19th century people lived in rural isolation with little or no access to technology, medical care or education but by the end of that century people lived a lifestyle which was superior to that enjoyed by the richest individuals just a century earlier.
Once again, go live in a hovel in the middle of nowhere and then tell me how much freer you find yourself to be.
How does the free thinking individual fit into any company or corporation?
It will need everyone to be self-employed.
How do you mass produce anything?
With my "free thinking", I've almost always worked for myself. However, there have been times when I've helped corps. with patents, sell and produce their product. Also, I have a brother, who created 8 patents for Motorola. Therefore, you can be "free thinking" and still help mass produce items very easlily. I recently sold a new unheard of software product, of a very small and broke company, to a major corp. which created a really nice size company that specializes in a unigue specialized software. Therefore, your concept of "free thinking" is very limited and unreal, at least for me and anyone I do business with.
How does the free thinking individual fit into any company or corporation?
Free thinking individulas can and do choose to work with others for mutul advancement. Why pretend otherwise?
Freedom and its inherent consequences hinge on transparency. There can be no real freedom if the choices that freedom permits are influenced by lies and deceptions, or simple bribery.
When every man makes his own decisions then one who would desire to gain influence through bribery would be required to bribe every man rather than a few elite politicians.
People need money to live and to eat.
They are always vulnerable to exploitation.
Yes, individuals are vulnerable to all sorts of things. That is a reason to try to avoid those pitfalls, it is not a reason to simply give up and let come what may.
Followership is no less valuable a work skill as leadership. Cooperation in a group of 2 or in a company of 100,000 requires free-thinking people be willing to subordinate their behavior to follow the lead of others in a mindful way. This skill is good, important, honorable, and deeply valuable. It unlocks higher productivity by which people can earn more for their labor.
The problem these days is the selection of companies available is artificially constrained by volumes of legal regulations. This creates oligopolistic conditions and corresponding ability to operate dysfunctionally. Such as boondoggles, expensive projects that fail, and systematic poor treatment of employees. In the big picture context of government regulation, the basis of competition in the marketplace swings from productivity to what direct and indirect legal advantages the company can leverage. The implications of this dynamic filter down to the lowest levels of the company. Executives and managers get selected for their bureaucratic skills, political skills (butt-kissing), and personal connections more than their business skills, which take a back seat.
Prospective employees are thus squeezed into painful dilemmas choosing between less efficient self-employment and more efficient collaboration but under toxic conditions. These toxic conditions serve as a sort of indirect "tax" extracted from workers by corporations...because they can get away with doing so. In a heavily regulated economy with a smaller number of large corporations dominating, workers have few choices. Would-be competitors can hardly overcome the steep barriers to entry....or if they do are then no longer incentivized to treat their employees any better than the incumbents.
In a world of unbridled competition, working for companies would be a delight for skilled workers who would be in high demand and treated well in order maximize their productive yield and retain them from poaching. Nasty, stupid, unskilled managers and executives not doing so would be rapidly flushed out or employees would easily and rapidly switch companies. Leaders would typically be intelligent, capable, experienced, skilled people one would respect and want to follow and learn from. The old days were more like this.
We had un-regulated, trickledown Capitalism in the UK in the 19th Century.
We know what it looks like.
1) Those at the top were very wealthy
2) Those lower down lived in grinding poverty, paid just enough to keep them alive to work with as little time off as possible.
3) Slavery
4) Child Labour
The beginnings of regulation to deal with the wealthy UK businessman seeking to maximise profit, the abolition of slavery and child labour.
Where regulation is lax today?
Apple factories with suicide nets in China.
A leopard never changes its spots.
Really? I was under the impression that British subjects were regulated by Queen Victoria, Disraeli, Gladstone and Parliament, among others. But you say this isn't so. Do you have any proof?

How to Stamp Out ... in a Single Generation?
Obama has figured out how to stamp out the Constitution in just a two term Presidency.
A single generation from now... there won't be a United States...
Oh please, yes Obama was/is terrible, but so was Reagan, Clinton, Bush(s), Wilson, Johnson, Nixon...I am so tired of the right left stupidity in this nation, its just a distraction. They are all on the take. We have not had a good president since JFK, and the Zio killed him (and his brother), and we let them get away with it.
You mean the perceived right-left, they are all leftists hellbent on taking your money and more importantly your freedom.
The real conservatives disdain what today's political 'right' has become. They are all greedy leftists who know so much better than the ordinary citizen.
They'll save us all - for the good of the children...

The author forgot to mention that fluoridation of drinking water is a Marxist/communist plot. Lol.
Are you aware that the fluoride put into municipal water supplies is not calcium fluoride which has long been shown to have dental health benefits but is rather sodium fluoride which is a toxic byproduct of aluminum smelting?
FLUORIDATION REVISITEDFluoride has long been recognized as one of the most toxic elements found in the earth's crust. Fluorides are by-products of many industrial processes, being emitted in the air and water, and probably the major source of this by-product is the aluminum industry. By the 1920s and 1930s, fluorine was increasingly being subject to lawsuits and regulations. In particular, by 1938 the important, relatively new aluminum industry was being placed on a wartime footing. What to do if its major by-product is a dangerous poison?
The mobilization, the national clamor for fluoridation, and the stamping of opponents with the right-wing kook image, was all generated by the public relations man hired by Oscar Ewing to direct the drive. For Ewing hired none other than Edward L. Bernays, the man with the dubious honor of being called the "father of public relations." Bernays, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, was called "The Original Spin Doctor" in an admiring article in the Washington Post on the occasion of the old manipulator's 100th birthday in late 1991. The fact that right-wing groups such as the John Birch Society correctly called fluoridation "creeping socialism" and blamed Soviet Communism as the source of the fluoridation campaign (no, not Bolsheviks, guys: but a Menshevik-State Capitalist alliance, see below) was used by the Bernaysians to discredit all the opposition.
During the 1940s and 50s, when the successful push for fluoridation was underway, the pro-forces touted the controlled experiment of Newburgh and Kingston, two neighboring small cities in upstate New York, with much the same demographics. Newburgh had been fluoridated and Kingston had not, and the powerful pro-fluoridation Establishment trumpeted the fact that ten years later, dental cavities in kids 5 to 9 in Newburgh were considerably lower than in Kingston (originally, the rates of every disease had been about the same in the two places). OK, but the antis raising the disquieting fact that, after ten years, both the cancer and the heart disease rates were now significantly higher in Newburgh.
In more detailed studies, for areas of Washington state and Iowa, NCI found that from the 1970s to the 1980s bone cancer for males under 20 had increased by 70 percent in the fluoridated areas of these states, but had decreased by 4 percent in the non-fluoridated areas. Sounds pretty conclusive to me, but the NCI set some fancy statisticians to work on the data, to conclude that these findings, too, were "spurious." Dispute over this report drove the federal government to one of its favorite ploys in virtually every area: the allegedly expert, bipartisan, "value-free" commission.
In addition to the bone cancer studies for the late 1980s, evidence is piling up that fluorides lead to bone fractures. In the past two years, no less than eight epidemiological studies have indicated the fluoridation has increased the rate of bone fractures in males and females of all ages. Indeed, since 1957, the bone fracture rate among male youth has increased sharply in the United States, and the U.S. hip fracture rate is now the highest in the world. In fact, a study in the traditionally pro-fluoride Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), August 12, 1992, found that even "low levels of fluoride may increase the risk of hip fracture in the elderly." JAMA concluded that "it is now appropriate to revisit the issue of water fluoridation."
http://archive.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/ir/Ch59.html
There are only about a million things that "may" "contribute" to hip fractures in the elderly. Fluoridated water probably contributes to hip fractures in the elderly because they fall down whilst walking to the sink.
That said, I'm not a fan of community fluoridation for a couple reasons. First, optimal levels of F- are only needed during growth and development of the permanent dentition, so until 9 years old. After that, it serves no purpose.
Secondly, NK cells (which basically are designed to circulate and attack shit like cancerous cells and live forever to boot) are degraded by all sorts of toxins (chlorine, fluoride, mercury etc.) at levels below what is considered safe. If it were just fluoride a person were exposed to for a lifetime, that would not be a problem. In conjunction with everything else, it "may" "contribute" to the degredation of immunity. Over a lifetime.
Thanks for your snarky support.
Zio has been very busy for the last 50 years in American (and Europe), using their divisionary tactics to distract US, while they steal our money and our government. They use political correctness to stifle dissent, use their media to control the debate, open our borders to destroy what it is to be a citizen of this once great nation. Shame on us for letting them do it, shame on Reagan, Wilson, Clinton, Johnson, and Nixon for helping them. JFK was the only good man in the White House in the last 100 years.
Carter was a good man too, nevertheless.
CM and its poisonous enabling idealogies have been overwhelmingly Jewish creations. This is a simple statement of fact. Freud, Marcuse, Adorno, Munzenberg, Fromm, Horkheimer...and their larvae that now infect media, 'entertainment' and academia.
The pc cultists are averse to their own cooking. They're all for affirmative action, except for the crew of the airplane they happen to be flying on. Suddenly they become egalitarians.
In my line of work, the typical pc cultist victimized single mom prefers her child's health care to be administered by a young woman, and an Asian woman at that.
However, when the pc cultist victimized single mom fears for her child's health, as in case of an emergency, guess who they want?
Middle-aged. White. Male.
Excellent article and good advice. The problem with 'don't self-censor' is that in most "liberal" (ha!) democracies you can lose your job or even land in jail by failing to self-censor. That's how far things have gone.
Great article as ever from Brandon Smith. Miss Neithercorp.
A sad and pointless article from an increasingly sad and irrelevant Brandon Smith. All I got from this is that he thinks it's OK to be an asshole and beat up people who disagree with you. It's not even a philosophy; it's how bullies and brownshirts operate. For a guy who purports to value freedom, he sure has a lot of things he wants to say "my way or the highway" about.
Hey Brandon, neither you nor Vox Day nor any "cultural marxists" get to define masculinity for me. Now go fuck yourself.
Does it have to wait a whole generation. I'm sick of these godless reprobates right now. Can we stomp them out by tea?
It can be done.
I was looking for a daytime gig after graduate school - didn't want to become a corporate drone again, did that for years and hated it generally. I was out looking over the Web one day and came across a website for a small network of engineers - they do work for bigger fish, generally, but will help out small companies if their money's good. Anyway, I left a message for the website saying I was interested in joining up - in a couple of days I got a call from their HR guy (effectively - they don't really have an HR department as such, he was just on point for that day) and he asked questions, listened and said they would get back to me - just like all the previous lying bastards I sent resumes to, "Yeah, well be getting back to you ...." and then nothing.
Except, in a couple of days, I get a call from a new guy: a line supervisor, of sorts. He asked questions, listened, and before the end of the conversation I knew they would be miles better than anyone else I had found. They had me "try out" on a conference call with a NEW client, to help figure out what the new client really wanted and needed - and it clicked. They got the client, I got the job, and we've been working together (mostly, they find / develop the contacts into clients, and I help design / visit / info-gather / write up / solve whatever needs doing). Been at it since before I graduated graduate school, going on a couple of years now. What's really different is my boss is a "don't waste my time" kind of guy - the last time I saw him face-to-face was over a year ago, on a trip to a client: we communicate by Email and telephone, no hand-holding and no bullshit. If he says something, it's so - and it happens the way he predicts, unless I get a call stating otherwise before it changes.
I am a 1099 contractor, they keep basic IRS statistics for me and send me a 1099 at the end of the year. I file my own taxes, do whatever work I like (but so far it's all been interesting, all good) and put in the minimal paperwork they ask for like expense reports. Mostly, I go places, learn new things, teach old things that have fallen out of fashion, fill in the gaps where they don't have enough staff to do it themselves, and so forth. But my commute is from my upstairs bedroom to my basement office, I have no cubicle, I send my work in by Internet, I occasionally travel to the client's sites, and generally do useful, rewarding work from home. I'm making enough at it to keep me happy and fed, and support the family. My wife occasionally expresses exasperation at the breaks in the action - she wishes I had a "steady job", even though it would make me miserable to commute every day to some downtown office building to sit in a cubicle and do whatever make-work someone can bid up just because a constant, steady monthly paycheck is "security" - rrrriiiggghhhttt, right up until some idiot with an MBA decides he can get a bigger bonus if he "rightsizes" your department, which puts you on the street - in my case, a week before Christmas last time. Not going through that again. Not again.
So yeah, anyway, cooperative action through informal networks is better than massive bureaucratic organizations where you are a liability until you prove otherwise. This bunch might decide tomorrow that I'm superfluous, but I think not - they tend to bill my services out to clients at twice what they pay me, which leads to job security when you think about it - if they can bill for twice what I cost, then it's to their advantage to bill me out (find things for me to work on) as much as possible! Also, the work I've been doing for them is generally getting good / great reviews from the clients, so I'm not a waste of time. I just wish more companies were set up this way, I'd have even more choices about where / what to work on!
There are many companies set up like your gig and many more to come as
Health insurance becomes a burden too big to bear simply because an employee shows up to work more days than not ! I have been a 1099 commission only sales rep more years than not for the last 25 years ! They provide leads I travel , measure , quote and close. No sales , no income. Simple enough right ? If the whole country including pro athletes were only paid for actual productivity we would live in a different world.
Want to know why "civil servants" want no services privatized? Because they would have competition . Just my two cents ! Good weekend to all !
the SJW are ramping up their propaghanda efforts now to try to permanently control the younger crowd because alot of people get red pilled when they leave school and have to deal with reality (shitty job prospects, no future, garbage women, etc)
1. Delusinal attack: You are crazy. Get help. What are you talking about ? 2. Friend threat, attack: You will lose friends and/or trust over this. 3. Incredulous attack: How could the lie go this far if it weren't true? 4. True focus: Focus on a true part of the story as if it were a part of the false part, and insist on discussing that the true parts of the story make the whole story true. 5. Why? Attack: This will not go any where, why discuss it? 6. Jump ahead attack: You are really just out to make someone look bad, aren't you? 7. Shut up/silence/re-topic attack: The deceiver does not want to talk about it, shut down or change the topic. 8. Ridicule attack: Make a joke of the allegation and arouse group laughter to drown out the accusation. 9. Evasion moves: Refuse to look at the data that documents the details of the lie. 10. Anger Attack - Get angry and indignant. 11. Equivocate attack - "everyone lies" so it's ok to lie.
If you watch drama shows, these are always tactics writers employ in scripts to hint the character is lying.
