Dear Friends,
It seems to me, socialism is not as much a system of economics, as it is a system of eugenics. Eugenics is the pseudo science of breeding the perfect human being. Progressives undertook this openly under the Woodrow Wilson administration. Hitler praised American Progressives for the ideas he would implement to create the master race. Pol Pot didn’t slaughter the entire population of Phenom Penn out of hatred, no, he killed them out of love, love for the new man he would create from their deaths, he was just culling the weeds. When Stalin starved to death the Kulaks, then the Ukrainians, he was using famine as a tool to wean the capitalist genes from the greater soviet Gene pool. Mao took this policy to the extreme. Now, these are powerful examples, but there is a deeper argument to be made.
Marx, the tree that bore the burr that contained Bolshevism, Nazism, progressivism, socialism and post modernism, wrote extensively about how his communism would produce the new man… The “species man.” More of an ant than an individual, he would be a happy part of the collective. Doing his or her part, even throwing themselves bodily into a hole to be trampled to death, if that was in the best interest of the collective. Such an ideal being would usher in a new age. An age without poverty, class, oppression, social strata, elites or rulers. Such sublimely supreme beings would have no need of rulers, each seeking only the interests of the whole, not themselves. Of course to create such a Man, one has to breed him… change history, society, education and indeed the very environment we live in.
As Lenin said, to make an omelet one has to break a few eggs, meaning the ends justify the means. (Although an egg has no interest in making omelets). The ends of socialism and socialists, if you accept Marx as an authority… is to breed the ideal human being. This is also called eugenics. It is not surprising that people who are bedazzled by the advances of science would think scientists able to breed the ideal man. Look at how mankind has changed corn through breeding to the point it cannot reproduce without the aid of a farmer. It is exponentially more concentrated, has more nutrients, and more calories than the marsh grass it was bred from. Look at how breeding has changed wolves into chihuahuas… It is not a leap to think they could do these wonders for mankind as well.
To that end, Bolsheviks, Nazis, Marxists, Maoists, Progressives and Bolivars have slaughtered many people. Breaking the eggs so to speak. Since they believe the ends justify the means, and they are strong enough to implement the means necessary to achieve those glorious ends, they have no choice but to slaughter their way through the human race, erasing genes that don’t serve the greater end… creating the socialist man. The post modernists haven’t had a go at real power yet, but rest assured, they have the right stuff to do what is necessary, to move the human race closer to their ideal. Once we have become socialist man, all our problems will go away, the environment will heal and we can live in harmony with nature, albeit at a much lower population. Ala the Georgia Guide Stones.
When viewed in this light the slaughter of the twentieth century becomes understandable. Up to now, historians have concentrated on how the individual could do such evil, and viewed the artificial famines as ways to amass political power. They have ignored Marx’s own writings however. The words of Pol Pot and Manuel Guzman explain why so many must die… so that others may live in utopia. When a post modernist claims the Nazis are totally unlike the Bolsheviks, they are lying to you, or themselves. They are two peas from the same pod. They and all socialist philosophies are systems of eugenics, every bit as much as they claim to be about economic justice. This needs to be understood, so that we can assess socialism in it’s real context, not by some fabricated narrative that has no bearing to reality.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
