The downfall of capitalism will not come from the uprising of an impoverished working class but from the sabotage of a bored upper class. This was the view of the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter in 1942. Schumpeter believed that at some point in the future, an educated elite would have nothing left to struggle for and will instead start to struggle against the very system that they themselves live in. - Ralph Schoellhammer |
Introduction
It is historically unprecedented: never before the ruling and richest elites in the entire Western world voluntarily and readily conceded some of their power and wealth in a pandemic-like insane obsession and concerns about the "poor" and low class. It is much more than "lack of civilizational confidence" or a "liberal fear of being envied" (Jack Wheeler), which both are only symptoms of a bigger and even more puzzling historical trend.
This global liberal brain melting began a couple of centuries ago. Before the
1800s it was generally presumed that the highest classes are objectively
better than the lower, thus fully deserving their wealth, privileges,
and power (inherited or acquired). At that, the lower classes were low mostly
because of their objectively limited knowledge, skills et cetera – and the
general wealth is limited anyway so that it cannot suffice for everybody. Some
or many in the low class were unjustly disadvantaged indeed, but that did not
change the general presumption of an objective inequality as something
proper to the human condition.
Such
thinking was absolutely prevailing among the upper classes, which had no prongs
about their privileged situation – with just rarest exceptions, such as the
Count Michael Vorontsov of Russia (1782-1856), who said "The rich and
powerful must live in such a way, that the others pardon them their wealth and
power". In that time, perhaps it was the only case when a person of
his posture was even concerned about his own privileged situation seeking
justification for it (and Count Vorontsov was really an exemplary citizen which
dedicated his entire life for doing good for the nation and the people).
However, some inexplicable rot in mind of the Russian aristocracy and intelligentsia began already in the middle of the 19th century. Follow this conversation in the quote below between two persons representing the light and conscience of those days: a quote from the memoir by Suvorin – a famous publisher of Fyodor Dostoevskiy recalling his conversation with Dostoevskiy.
"Imagine we are viewing the exposition of paintings at the Gallery at Nevskiy prospect, while a group of excited – and consequently loud youth discusses their news that a powerful bomb was planted into the Winter Palace. Would you go to report this conversation to the police Fyodor?"
"No, I would not", – replies the author of "Demons": the intelligentsia would hound me.
"And I would not too, – said Suvorin, "because they would mess my life after that".
The D. Horowitz's
brochure "From shadow party to shadow government" showed that the
enormous work of the Lefts/Progressives to undermine the very foundation of the
Unite States has been taking place for many decades: The work financed in a
tune of billions. (KGB could never even dream to have it so good, so deep, and
so overwhelming).
Not only is
this total lack of the rich and powerful on the conservative side embarrassing,
but it also totally undermines the freedom of expression. Why? Because the
freedom of expression is never really "free", always depending on
support of those who have means. Thus, the uniformity in minds of the rich
and powerful translates into the uniformity of the media and into the
totalitarian state in general. Such a lack of the rich and powerful, which
neither wish nor dare to utter a word against the low life agitators, alone
spells the doom of the West and a defeat of the liberty. However, the
degeneration affected not only the class of rich and powerful. It
affected also the middle class – the foundation of America and the Free
world.
7) Paradoxically, the One World Order crowed (atheists and socialist by its very nature) somehow embraces Islam. Not only does the West ignore the strategic danger of Islam empowered by the petrodollars in 20th century. The West under these elites had widely opened the door for Islam, turning the home polices of every Western nation into a grotesque dhimmitude.
Attempts to
confront the dominating paradigm or the global mental infection may seem
futile. However, to leave it alone avoiding the confrontation at all would mean
a suicide without fight right now. Even if the West will not survive, the ideas
will, because, rephrasing M. Bulgakov, "Ideas do not burn..."
Years later
after this introduction had been written, I found a few sources revealing the origin of all
these puzzling transformations in the modern history. The quote below from
"Tragedy and Hope" by Carroll Quigley will give you some clues.
The true explanation of what happened is not yet completely known and, as far as it is known, is too complicated to elucidate here. It is however, clear that many persons who were born in the period 1900-1920 and came to maturity in the period 1928-1940 were so influenced by their experiences of war, depression, and insecurity that they adopted more or less unconsciously, certain aspects of the Communist ideology (such as the economic interpretation of history, the role of a dualist class struggle in human events, or the exploitative interpretation of role of capital in the productive system and of the possessing groups any society).
