The World Revolution

 The revolutionary unrest which to-day afflicts the entire world goes far deeper than is generally supposed. Its root-cause is not Russian Bolshevik propaganda, nor the late war, nor the French Revolution, but a process of racial impoverishment, which destroyed the great civilizations of the past and which threatens to destroy our own.

This grim blight of civilized society has been correctly diagnosed only in recent years. The momentous biological discoveries of the past generation have revealed the true workings of those hitherto mysterious laws of life on which, in the last analysis, all human activity depends.

In the light of these biological discoveries, confirmed and amplified by investigations in other fields of science, especially psychology, all political and social problems need to be re-examined.

Such a re-examination of one of these problems—the problem of social revolution—has been attempted in the present book.

Civilizations, unlike living organisms, have no appointed cycle of life and death. Given a high-type stock producing an adequate quota of superior individuals, and a civilization might be immortal.

Why, then, has this never occurred? It has not occurred mainly because of three destructive tendencies which have always, sooner or later, brought civilizations to decline and ruin. These three tendencies are: (1) the tendency to structural overloading; (2) the tendency to biological regression; (3) the tendency to atavistic revolt. Here are the three grim Nemeses that have dogged the footsteps of the most promising peoples.

“There is a revolution coming. It will not be like revolutions in the past. It will originate with the individual and the culture, and it will change the political structure as its final act. It will not require violence to succeed, and it cannot be successfully resisted by violence. This is the revolution of the New Generation.” – Charles Reich, The Greening of America (1970)

Political Correctness is an orchestrated attack on Western civilization and its venerable institutions. In particular, PC is a comprehensive critique of traditional morality and ethics, socio/political conservatism, and the Christian faith and values. According to the apostles of PC, all of these influences are antiquated impediments to progress – the goal of which is a global  society in keeping with the principles of the Humanist Manifestos.

* The Humanist Manifestos are a series of documents drafted by the American Humanist Association in 1933, 1973, and 2003 that articulate the principles and vision of a libertarian/socialist new world order based on secular humanistic values. Each version was signed by notable humanists in government, academia, science, literature and the arts. See https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Humanist_Manifesto.

PC advocates, labeling certain thoughts, speech and actions “politically incorrect” is an effective way to censor dissenting views or prohibit anything that they consider (1) conservative and reactionary – either politically, socially, morally or religiously; or (2) insensitive or discriminatory toward certain minorities that warrant special protection – i.e., blacks, Hispanics, feminist women, homosexuals, and non- Christians in general. This is the mentality behind the left’s obsession with “micro-aggressions” and the advocacy of fascistic indoctrination programs such as “diversity training” workshops. 

In modern use, scholars trace the term to Mao Zedong’s Little Red Book.** Prior to Mao, the concept of Political Correctness was used by Bolsheviks to suppress all opposing speech and actions that strayed from the official Communist Party line. Since the Party supposedly represented “The People,” anything that dissented from Communist orthodoxy was counter-revolutionary, politically incorrect, and therefore intolerable. In the 1960s the term was adopted by Neo- Marxists to emphasize their dogmas and silence their critics. According to New Left ideology, traditional conservative and Christian beliefs an practices were innately “authoritarian,” “repressive,” “unprogressive,” and “fascist.” Therefore, such views were deemed “intolerant” and should be censored or even banned from public discourse. 

Even liberal Newsweek magazine, in a 1990 cover story on the new “Thought Police,” noted the Marxist roots of Political Correctness: PC is, strictly speaking, a totalitarian philosophy.... Politically, PC is Marxist in origin.... 

There are... some who recognize the tyranny of PC but see it only as a transitional phase, which will no longer be necessary once the virtues of tolerance are internalized. Does that sound familiar? It’s the dictatorship of the proletariat. [“Taking Offense.” Newsweek (Dec. 24, 1990)]

...the left’s greatest ally is the American public’s general level of ignorance regarding history, philosophy, or even current events as they relate to the current state of our culture ...

The people of North American and Western Europe now accept a level of ugliness in their daily lives which is almost without precedent in the history of Western civilization.... Our own city streets, home to legions of the homeless, are ruled by Dope, Inc., the largest industry in the world, and on those streets Americans now murder each other at a rate not seen since the Dark Ages. 

At the same time, a thousand smaller horrors are so commonplace as to go unnoticed. Our children spend as much time sitting in front of television sets as they do in school, watching with glee, scenes of torture and death which might have shocked the audience in the Roman Coliseum. Music is everywhere, almost unavoidable – but it does not uplift, nor even tranquilize – it assaults the ears, oftentimes spitting out obscenities. Our plastic arts are ugly, our architecture is ugly, our clothes are ugly.... 

Our universities, the cradle of our technological and intellectual future, have become overwhelmed by Comintern-style New Age “Political Correctness.” With the collapse of the Soviet Union, our campuses now represent the largest concentration of Marxist dogma in the world.... 

[T]he ugliness we see around us has been consciously fostered and organized in such a way that a majority of the population is losing the cognitive ability to transmit to the next generation the ideas and methods upon which our civilization was built. The loss of that ability is the primary indicator of a Dark Age. 

And a new Dark Age is exactly what we are in. In such situations, the record of history is unequivocal: either we create a [new] Renaissance – a rebirth of the fundamental principles upon which civilization originated – or our civilization dies. [Michael J. Minnicino, “The New Dark Age: The Frankfurt School and ‘Political Correctness’.” Fidelio, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Winter 1992), pp. 4-5.]

America is rapidly descending into a “Dark Age” marked by social discord, violence, corruption, stupidity and ugliness. This is obvious not only in our education and political systems: observe most modern architecture, most movies and TV (including TV news), and most contemporary music (mainstream pop, heavy metal, rap and hip-hop). American society and culture have never been so rude, so crude, and so lewd.

Sinister forces have driven these trends, cleverly exploiting the dark side of human nature, and much of it is attributable to decades of propaganda propagated by cultural Marxists under the guise of Political Correctness.

Seven Principles of Political Correctness 

There are seven principles that essentially define Political Correctness. Note that some of these are obviously contradictory, but rational consistency is rarely regarded as essential for radical leftists who tend to dismiss logic itself as “Western thinking.” 

1. Liberal Elitism. The only social and political ideas and practices that have legitimacy are those in keeping with the liberal secular humanistic agenda. As the Neo-Marxist Theodor Adorno argued in The Authoritarian Personality (1948), only the true liberal can be considered mentally healthy and socially welladjusted.

Like the pigs in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, cultural liberals believe that “Everyone is equal – but some people are more equal than others.” Those who are “more equal” are the liberal cultural elites in academia, the media, the entertainment industry and government. Those who have been properly educated in the values of cultural liberalism are the natural leaders in society. Committed to tolerance and egalitarian democracy, the elite have the right and the responsibility to lead others into correct paths of thinking and living.

2. An Evolutionary View of Society and Culture. Along with human biological evolution, human societies and institutions are also evolving toward greater heights of awareness and sophistication. What might have been “true” or “reasonable” in the past is often outdated in the present. Therefore, according to contemporary liberals, those who hold to conservative and traditional values are on “the wrong side of history.”

3. Moral Relativism. There are no moral absolutes.

However, there are exceptions to this principle: because many of the beliefs and practices of social conservatives are ignorant, outdated, insensitive, intolerant and judgmental – in short, hateful – they should not be allowed in the public square.

4. Five Inviolable Values. There are five values that should govern all thinking and social interaction in a free and democratic society.

• Tolerance. Tolerance is an absolute virtue. We should accept every person, group, and culture non-judgmentally, and no one has a right to judge any person, group or culture as being inferior or wrong. However, this principle does not apply to Christians or social conservatives because such people are bigoted, intolerant and judgmental.

• Egalitarianism. The only legitimate form of government is democracy.

• Multi-culturalism. All societies and cultures are morally equivalent and equally legitimate, as are all cultural heritages and traditions. Christianity and Western culture are no better than any other religion or cultural heritage, and to think otherwise is to be narrow-minded, exclusivistic and ethnocentric. Multiculturalism is the basis for the PC veneration of “diversity,” which cultural liberals regard as innately good.

• Inclusion. No individual or group has a right to discriminate against anyone else.

• Religious pluralism. All religions are manmade, and to the extent that there is any truth or value in them, all are (more or less) equally valid (or invalid). It is the height of bigotry to believe that any particular religion (such as Christianity) is exclusively “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

5. Education and Social Transformation. 

The primary purpose of education is not to accumulate a broad range of knowledge in keeping with the traditional philosophy of education – i.e., a substantive introduction to the liberal arts – but to acquire the necessary values and socialization skills that are essential to living cooperatively in our diverse multicultural society. To that end, competition in education should be minimized as much as possible in the interest of building up students’ self-esteem.

6. Social Consciousness. Individualism is selfish and socially irresponsible. People should think and act in the interests equality and social justice.

7. (All cultures may be equally valid, but...) Western civilization and values are the source of most of the world’s problems. Throughout history, Western civilization and culture have been marked by racism, sexism, homophobia, conquest, violence, cultural imperialism, oppression, exploitation, religious bigotry, etc. In modern times capitalism, which is based on greed and the exploitation of people and resources, has contributed to inequality and social injustice. In addition, traditional Christianity has inhibited social progress due to its exclusive truth-claims, its intolerance of other religions, and its history of repression and oppression.

The Marxist Dialectic

Contemporary Political Correctness is a form of cultural Marxism that is derivative of a naturalistic (atheistic) worldview and a secular humanistic philosophy. As discussed below, Political Correctness follows the Marxist dialectic in terms of its theory of history and its vision for social and cultural progress. 

Karl Marx (1818-83) was contemptuous of religion in general and Christianity in particular. “Religion is the opiate of the people” and “Man is the supreme being for man.” 

Marx’s idealistic utopian Communistic society was in some respects a secularized version of the Kingdom of God – a harmonious and cooperative community but without God. Blinded by his satanic arrogance, Marx omitted the one factor and the one power that could actually transcend human selfishness, egoism and conflict, which is why Communistic societies have been among the most tyrannical and brutal in all of human history. 

Secular humanism is a man-centered philosophy that derives from a naturalistic worldview. During the Enlightenment, however, the concept of humanism took a decidedly secular turn. Enlightenment philosophes tended to look to pre- Christian classical culture for intellectual inspiration and their model of the ideal society, and for many of them Christianity represented institutionalized religious repression, theological dogmatism, and antiquated superstition.

...especially in modern times under the influence of Feuerbach, Darwin, Marx and Freud, there has always been within atheistic naturalism a special hostility toward the Christian faith. In the late 19th century this antipathy was most vociferously expressed by Friedrich Nietzsche ...(who) slandered Christianity as “the great curse” and “the ultimate corruption” of the modern world. According to Nietzsche, “The Christian Church has left nothing untouched by its depravity; it has turned every value into worthlessness, and every truth into a lie, and every integrity into baseness of soul.” (Suffering from dementia, Nietzsche spent most of the last decade of his life in an insane asylum in which he imagined himself to be Jesus, Napoleon, and Buddha – among others.)

Not coincidentally, secular humanism as a defined philosophy emerged in full force just after World War I, just as Neo-Marxist scholars in Germany were working out their theories and setting their agenda. 

... several notable events occurred in America in the 1920s and ‘30s that advanced a Secular Humanistic agenda. In 1920 a coalition of liberal lawyers and activists founded the American Civil Liberties Union, and the ACLU has functioned ever since as a powerful legal arm for the left-wing agenda. It has also been in the forefront of the contemporary culture war, waging aggressive campaigns against Christianity ...

In 1929 Charles Potter, a former Baptist preacher turned Unitarian, founded the First Humanist Society of New York, and the following year he wrote an influential book, Humanism: A New Religion, in which he cast a vision for a totally secularized society and culture. Three years later a group of 34 lawyers, scholars, educators, and other professionals organized the American Humanist Association and drafted The Humanist Manifesto. Based on Marx’s Communist Manifesto, The Humanist Manifesto provided a philosophical platform for the humanist movement and put forth a radical secular vision for America.

Note: secular humanism is not a neutral philosophy but a godless religion. 

The key to social and political progress is through secular humanistic education, a form of indoctrination that liberates young people from traditional prejudices so as to advance societal evolution. If properly educated, citizens today can become more tolerant, enlightened and socially-conscious than those of the past.

Over the past forty years the secular humanist alliance has been in the forefront of America’s culture war, aggressively and relentlessly promoting various left-wing causes from abortion-on-demand and samesex “marriage” to amnesty for illegal aliens. They have steadily gained momentum over time, and since the 1980s their agenda has been advanced through several well-financed and influential organizations including... 

• The American Freethought Society, in conjunction with its publishing arm, Prometheus Books; • People for the American Way, founded by the TV producer, Norman Lear; 

• Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, a high-profile advocacy group led by Barry Lynn; and • A variety of Political Action Committees (PACs), most notably MoveOn.Org, which is financed by the billionaire George Soros. (Soros is as strident as he is rich. In 2002 he was quoted as saying, “The separation of church and state, the bedrock of our democracy, is clearly undermined by having a born-again President [George W. Bush].” Soros would apparently prefer to have someone who is fair and unbiased on matters related to church and state, such as an atheist like himself.)

Marxism:

Philosophy of History. Classical Marxism was based on the theory of economic determinism, class warfare, and the struggle for control of the means of production. In the opening lines of the Communist Manifesto Marx wrote, “The history of all hitherto existing society is a history of class struggles.” According to him, societies progressed through various stages of development until they reached the level of capitalism. Inevitably, the exploited working classes would rise up, overthrow their capitalistic oppressors, and establish a pure communistic (classless) society based on the egalitarian principle, “From each according to his ability to each according to his need.”

The evolution toward a pure classless society must be guided by a “dictatorship of the proletariat,” an elite class of enlightened intellectuals (such as Marx, for instance) who would socially engineer the process.

Politically Correct 

Neo-Marxism is predicated on the belief that all history is driven by power relationships. Certain groups – defined by race, religion, sex and class – dominate others that are the victims of oppression and injustice. In order to create an equal and just society, the liberal elite class – in particular, politicians, judges, educators, entertainers, and the media – must mold public opinion and promote legislation and values that move society toward the left-wing utopian ideal.

Social Theory 

class conflict (and even class warfare) are integral aspects of classical Marxist social theory. Classical Marxism divided society into “good” and “bad” people along broad socio/economic lines. The “good” were the “productive” classes – i.e., the proletariat class of common laborers, factory workers, artisans, farmers and peasants who worked with their hands. The “bad” were the predatory exploiters – the bourgeoisie class, the capitalists, industrialists, bankers, managers, landlords, clergy, etc.

In contemporary Neo-Marxist thought this is perpetuated, except that now the “good” are the victimized minorities – feminist women, blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, etc. – and the “bad” are white males, non-feminist white females and Christians.

But always Marxism is backed by Plutocracy and Oligarcy -- they USE the War to ensure their power --

Christian politician and social reformer William Jennings Bryan often expressed similar sentiments: On the one side stand the corporate interests of the U.S., the moneyed interests, aggregated wealth and capital, imperious, arrogant, [and] compassionless...

 

Like Bryan, the fire brand Populist crusader Mary Lease railed against the kind of crony capitalism that dominated the economic and political fortunes of the nation in the late 1800s. 

In her famous stump speech, “Wall Street Owns the Country,” and in her later book, The Problem of Civilization Solved (1895), she declared: Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street and for Wall Street.

This country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor.... There is a natural competition and conflict between these competing groups that can only be resolved by a survival of the fittest.

Not untrue ... 

Authoritarianism. 

Theoretically, the ultimate goal of Marxism has always been a classless (or communistic) society in which everyone is equal. Since this goal defies the realities of human nature, it takes a special class of people in society with the power to impose egalitarianism on everyone else. In Marx’s writings, he called this interim phase between the fall of capitalism and the dawn of communism the “dictatorship of the proletariat.”

Neo-Marxists are convinced that those who oppose their agenda are witless traditionalists with no social consciousness and no regard for social justice. Therefore, the cultural elite class has a moral responsibility to protect the victims of social injustice – the poor, racial and ethnic minorities, feminists, homosexuals, radical left-wing political ideologues, et al. – from the bigotry and exploitation of troglodyte conservatives. 

Furthermore, because their cause is righteous, the cultural elite are justified in using any means necessary to suppress dissent and control society and culture for the common good of “the people.” 

Therefore, a certain amount of censorship is necessary in order to suppress “politically incorrect” opinions in the interest of a more fair, just and harmonious society – as defined by the cultural elite, of course.

Marixism taught that following the revolution, the proletariat had the right to expropriate the land, factories, and other property of the bourgeoisie. Of course, in the initial stages all assets and resources had to be confiscated by the state and “the People’s Party” (i.e., the Communist Party) until the dictatorship of the proletariat had prepared the masses to transition into a pure communist society.

In our day, the enforcers of Political Correctness have taken the classical Marxist theme of expropriation and redistribution of wealth and turned it into a racial (and sometimes gender-based) spoils system in education, government and corporate ...Once PC zealots are entrenched in a university, a government bureaucracy or a corporation, they often implement an expropriation program under the guise of “diversity”

Tolerance but selectively ... they are only selectively tolerant ... They have no interest in ideological diversity if it includes Christians, social conservatives or moral traditionalists.

Marxists believe they have a responsibility to eradicate the last vestiges of Christian influence and white male dominance in America’s cultural institutions.

Hard-core radicals, are left-wing fundamentalist ideologues. Unlike moderates and most conservatives, they understand the principle of culture war. They realize that what is at stake is a struggle between two incompatible and irreconcilable worldviews. This is why they are resolute and implacably hostile toward anyone more traditional or conservative than themselves.

Sexual Politics. In modern times, one of the strongest appeals of radical left-wing ideology has been its promotion of sexual liberation. This was an animating theme in the French Revolution, and it was featured prominently in the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Both of them advocated the abolition of the traditional family, and in Marx’s The German Ideology (1845) and Engels’ The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State (1884) they argued that traditional male patriarchy oppressed females by holding them as property of their fathers and husbands. In the Communist Manifesto Marx also called for the abolition of marriage and the open “community of women” (i.e., free sex).

Ever since the 1920s Neo-Marxists have emphasized the ‘X’ factor as part of their strategy for cultural subversion. Like other social radicals before them, they argue that traditional and conventional sexuality is repressive, and that there should be no limits on sexual experimentation and expression. 

A key component of cultural Marxism, and a clever strategy on their part, has been the integration of Marxism and Freudianism. 

Like the Freudians, they believe traditional Biblically-based sexual morality is a repressive force that hinders societal evolution. 

Freudian psychology, the Sexual Revolution of the 20 century, th and Playboy-style hedonism are rooted in a naturalistic worldview that considers men and women to be highly-evolved animals.

Relationship of PC to TRUTH:

PC controversies always involve the suppression of truth. For left-wing ideologues, certain truths must be censored and suppressed because they are “intolerant,” “insensitive,” and they hurt people’s feelings. According to this mentality, certain protected groups – for instance, racial minorities, homosexuals, non- Christians, and feminist women – must be accorded ... any criticism of any of these special status groups is potentially a form of “hate speech.” ... What is not hate speech? Well that is “hate speech” that is directed toward white people (particularly, white males), heterosexuals and Christians.Authoritarianism.
