What a joy to rewrite posts written almost five years ago or more. Sometimes, I find that I must change or refine some sentences. Sometimes, I have to acknowledge that the issue in question is not the same as it was at the time of the initial writing, like in the case of Elon Musk. And sometimes, the chance brings up a post that is even more material now than it was when originally written, like this one.

I shall comment on the present situation in the UK at the end of this post.

The initial post

This post was triggered by responses to my Friday the thirteenth tweet, which read:

We are facing a very simple dilemma: whether to join England and its instinct to reject all forms of collectivism, or to German collectivism, whose end result will be either Hitler or Stalin. Unfortunately, the “intellectual elite” does not perceive this dilemma much like it did not before 2WW.

I borrowed the title of this post from a commentary in one of the Slovenian web media, Siol. The exciting thing about this column is that I could almost literally rewrite it like I did the Letter of Europe to Athena Farrokhzad years ago, which I have “reprinted” recently on this blog.

Indeed, the embarrassment of Siol’s column is that it phenomenally describes the consequences of living in a soap bubble, except that it is not those who voted for Johnson who live in bubbles, but intellectuals who are systematically blind to their fascist similarity to those of the pre-WWII intellectuals. They are the ones who are incapable of recognizing the collectivist ideology of Hitler and, after World War II, the realization of this same Fascism by Stalin, later especially in America but also in Europe.

I use harsh words because these are still too mild.

One of the replies to my tweet was: “You” idea is so drawn from the little finger that it is almost earth-flatter-like.” Wh” ch, of course, gained the immediate liking of another famous opponent of mine.

I wanted to tell them that the characterization of my little finger was an understatement, as I would at least expect to be labeled a fascist. This I expected because when opponents run out of arguments, they bring on the day of the fascist labeling and, more recently, also slightly more modern, earth-flatter labeling.

And now, after all this, I dare to sling around with Fascism, describing both so horrible Hitler on one side and kind like Uncle Stalin on the other side! I’m I’mling this from two little fingers now.

Yeah?

Fascio is an Italian word that means a bundle, a tightly joined collective of sticks, thus symbolizing the nationalist movement of the late nineteenth century that later grew into Fascism. The symbolism of a bundle, of course, exceeds the historical Italian Fascism. It mentally connects all collectivist movements in which the individual is subordinate to the bundle, the collective. This fundamental and simple ideological subset is common to all forms of collectivism, be it national, class, racial, sexual, or religious. In that sense, Fascism, Nazism, Stalinism, Titoism, LGTB movements, and many environmental movements are equally fascists.

Am I overemphasizing?

Yes.

Do I over-generalize?

To some extent, yes, but consciously. Of course, there are differences between these phenomena. However, progressivist utopia makes a base for just every mentioned instance of Fascism. They all see the goal outside of the person himself, in some time/space temporally distant ideal, for which every sacrifice the individual makes is worth it. It is necessary to subordinate every step to such a utopia or ideal. The short term is wholly subordinated to the long term. 

Such a utopia can only be built hierarchically from the top down. With many institutions living through such an ideology, the state is, of course, the most suitable candidate for its implementation, as it seems that the state cannot act other than from the top down. Bismarck put this idea into practice and Hegel into philosophy. (Again, I am simplifying because, of course, those two are not the only representatives of continental thought that is the cradle of Fascism. And, of course, neither Bismarck nor even less Hegel are fascists in all their words and deeds. And, of course, Fascism is not limited to the continental space of Europe.

Yet, can the state be realized only through the ideals of fascia, a bundle?

Of course not.

How to overcome Fascism?

Whoever watches and understands The Crown sequel cannot overlook the deeply enshrined libertarian, anti-fascist tradition inscribed on the English soul. Magna Carta, as the foundation, and subsequent updates to this foundation, such as the conflict with Catholicism, rank England among those rare countries where libertarianism is almost genetically written. Similarly, libertarianism was enshrined in the American Constitution of 1789 and even more so in the minds of the founders of the American political system, especially Maddison.

Where America, in the twentieth century, heavily surrendered to collectivism, England maintained a healthy resistance to Fascism, most likely due to the brilliant placement of the crown in the country’s management system. There were attempts to implement Fascism before W.W.II. Yet, it was fortunately suppressed. The English definition of libertarianism is too strong for an English-familiar person to be blown away by the sweet words of Corbyn and similar apologists of “life” on others.” The” Englishman, in his libertarian pragmatism, knows that, according to Darwin, evolution is a succession of many small trials, missteps, and a priori ignorance. An Englishman fears the prophets “who” know.” Si” ce it is inscribed in hereditary design, he does not need to know it, he does not need to intellectualize, he does.

Of course, I’m I’meralizing again. I describe the archetype of a voter who chose Brexit not because he believed Johnson but because Johnson’s intellectualism was incomparably better than the absolute domination of totalitarianism dictated by Germany with Merkel and France with Marcon. The continental legal and philosophical system that drives Germany and the European Union is namely fundamentally totalitarian (collectivistic).

Benefits of ignorance and pragmatism with values.

An English worker who, after Marx, should be the leader of the proletarian revolution is too pragmatic to be fooled. He has been haunted by intellectuals who have been critical generators of utopias for centuries, having built a phenomenal personal business model with this construction. They thus don’t do it; they generate it. Intellectuals are becoming the fundamental force of progressivist creationism, the heart of the enemy of evolutionary theory, and thus the backbone of the current most potent global religion, scientism. (Real scientists are not intellectuals but even less scientistic.)

Therefore, intellectuals in the soap bubble are intellectuals who cannot recognize their own reactionary role, which they impose with their progressivism, because of their own interests.

Are there too many topics thrown into one post?

Yes and no. Not because, as a sworn “bel” ever” in” complexity theory and evolutionary theory, I think that I can know or even recognize all the factors that guide the decisions of this or that English voter. I’m not a political analyst to “know”. Yet, I know what my personal values ​​are. I do not think I can change anyone, but I hope that through such posts, I am getting better.

A comment in 2024

The division between the intellectual elite that runs Downing Street and mainstream media and the people became even starker in recent years, culminating in recent UK riots. I created a link to The Guardian, but all MSM talk the same: “Rio” s are provoked by right extremists while there is almost no hint about rising terror from those that do not share UK values.

I have used the term “those that do not share UK values” because it is impossible to blame only immigrants and Muslims for the violence that provoked a large mass of UK citizens to fight back. After so many years, it is expected that kids already born in the UK share the values of countries from which their parents came more than UK values. The initial cause for recent riots around the UK was a murder committed by a 10-year-old boy of parents who came from Rwanda and was born in the UK. 

I have visited Rwanda recently, and I’m confident that Rwanda is one of the last African countries that provoked mass emigration after the genocide was over and healed. I do not know whether this boy was an extremist, which makes this case even more enjoyable. 

Why?

It is predictable that if immigrant violence increases, sooner or later, all immigrants will be seen as potential troublemakers. Such is the last page before either the problem is solved, meaning that the government stops immigration and puts measures in action that would make the UK a country with UK values, meaning monocultural, or violence from both sides is going to escalate and thus “far” well to all freedoms.” Common values (the common culture) are the only force that sticks the community together. The identity is at stake.

What we see now is, unfortunately, nothing in common with the UK values explained in the original post. The present government is obviously trying to ignite further riots so that they can establish a totalitarian state mimicking what Hitler did in 1933.
