Dear Friends,
It seems to me, there’s no more proved toxin to mankind, than the tri-noxious political systems. By this I mean socialism, fascism and communism, which are variations of what I call the elitist progressive systems. They’re poisons so deadly, each should be categorized as a class A bio hazard. Because there is no toxin, bacteria or virus known to man that’s capable of inflicting human suffering like those ideologies have. Uncountable millions of people died in the last century of these toxic political systems, and millions more this century… so far. Last century they killed by war, gulag and famine… this century they’re killing us by virus, chaos and Jihad. Because the elitist progressive faction epitomizes those who would burn down the world to rule over the ashes.
In nature, most poisons smell bad and are bitter… but there are those that are sweet and smell nice… those are the dangerous fruits. Every year many children fall ill and even die from eating poisonous fruits that smell and taste sweet. Socialism, fascism and communism are just such berries. They look as lovely as they smell and taste sweet… until the stomach cramps start. Even as turnips, eggplant and liver smell rank, though they’re good for you. As is the case with limited government. Which is why selling toxic government is easier than selling healthy government. We judge by our senses not our memories. So we immediately swallow whatever sweet berry is handed us, and refuse to boil down a rank smelling turnip. Unless we’ve suffered the stomach cramps before, or watched others double over.
Being a pragmatic, I judge by outcome not intention, and the “road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” While an idealist might judge purely by intention. Which is why I call all the progressive systems toxic. Because I judge them by their outcomes, not the stated intentions. Thus I refuse to eat the poison fruit. What outcome could so wave me off the progressive systems? The historic results of those systems in action. Everyone agrees the fruit of fascism is poison. Not because of the sixty million deaths, the industrial scale slaughter of innocents or the ruthlessness of it… but because the idealists call it bad. They treat socialism and communism with kit gloves. The atrocities they’re guilty of are ignored or worse, justified. Though while the Nazis exceeded at killing, the others perfected torture.
Today the progressive faction controls the administrative state and the courts. Both reside in an echo chamber atop an ivory tower. In such a place idealists can enjoy the sweet smelling fruit of elitist progressivism, with heavy cream and pepto bismol. There they can rule the world from behind a velvet curtain. They’re willing to commit any atrocity… so convinced are they in the righteousness of elitist progressivism. The elitist progressive faction is still toxic to humanity. They created Covid in a lab, released it by ineptitude or intention, then created a shot that had little or no effect on transmission but terrible side effects. Killing millions and harming tens of millions more. Just as their predecessors did in the last century with famine, gulag and concentration camps.
The elitist progressive systems are adept at evolution. They have grown from national movements, where only a few tens of millions suffered under their toxic reign, to today where their ambition is to subject the world to their toxic rule. With the same outcomes… as proven by Covid. While I would be the first to say, there must be a role for idealists in government and the private sector, they can’t have unlimited power. Neither should pragmatists be allowed unlimited power. Which is the goal of the elitist progressive systems, socialism, fascism and communism. They’re toxins to humanity, as proven by history. Even the vaunted South African form of communism has resulted in the genocide of White farmers. The way to deal with silver nightshade is to compost it… not eat it.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
