FATHER CHRISTMAS FOR PRESIDENT

David Goodheart writes contemptuously about what he considers an erroneous view of the British voting populace by the political masters of British Labour:

The Labour Party is a self-consciously progressive party dominated by highly educated people who believe that they see the world more clearly and understand people’s interests better than those people themselves do, which is the default instinct of both the highly educated and the left-of-centre.

Australian political elites in Labor and the Greens (and in smaller proportion amongst the Liberals, though today’s vote will ascertain to what extent that view is aspirant) provides an almost identical ideological perspective towards the ‘average’ citizen.

However, given that the Labour/labor governments of both countries have, over time, put into place certain laws, systems, policies and educational ‘initiatives’ that facilitate the aforementioned ideology as a type of self-fulfilling prophecy, it is conceivable that such a worldview could soon (if not already) become the prevailing zeitgeist.

The ubiquitous infantilising of the citizenry is remorseless and constant, and given that the ‘long march’ has captured most institutions of education and ‘cultural arbiters’ such as the arts, media, and entertainment industry’s; it goes without saying that the channels through which most information is fed to the populace are compromised towards a Marxist rather than a conservative view of the world and therefore add impetus to the push towards Statism.

Socialist ideology positioning the State as provider, care-giver, organiser and benevolent overseer from birth to death has been massaged into vast segments of the population, engendering a worldview that surrenders personal autonomy into the hands of political overlords.  For example; within our post-modern communities are large tracts of people who cannot even conceive of the necessity to find gainful employment, because ‘who wants to work when it is not absolutely necessary’ and when they are discovered to be holding down a paying job and ‘double dipping’ from welfare, choose to give up the job rather than the welfare. The old idea of work as being a responsibility has been superseded by the idea of a right to having those things traditionally earned by working now being provided by the State. The view of work having moral as well as material value has been replaced by work as an unnecessary evil. 

The left have also succeeded in portraying free enterprise producers (and ultimately job providers) in society as evil and grasping and have successfully inculcated a false ‘class war’ theme into Australian society. Classic divide and rule techniques promulgated by Marxist anarchists such as Gramsci and Alinsky for decades. The ongoing results? More un/under-employed thus more dissatisfaction, and because the media is biased towards Marxist thinking the blame is placed at the feet of private enterprise thus exacerbating the situation until an inevitable downward spiral of blame and causality produces economic and social chaos.  

Unfortunately socialist governments as well as the ideology in all its disguises have been shown to fail all around the world with the inevitable consequences of social, economic and structural destruction, violence and anarchy resulting in civilizational collapse which in turn ushers in a dictator or ‘strong-man’(woman?) to a position of power because in the face of desperate lawlessness, they appear the only hope for peace. Hence we witness throughout history people such as, to name but a few:  Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Franco, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Amin, Mugabe, ad nauseum….

Who will be the natural heir to the coming chaos of the 21^st Century I wonder?
