The United States today hasslipped toward race-based socialism: That’s the true name for anoverwhelming bias for one race above others, in employment, promotion,and educational opportunities. Our media are constantly stirring thewitch’s brew of racial grievances, constantly making black people feelaggrieved and white people feel accused. Our schools drive that lessonhome with young and innocent kids in a totally ruthless way. Repeatthat for twelve years of schooling and TV, and you have a brainwashedkid.
Thatis what European socialists have done with class envy for the lasthundred years: whip up the poor against the middle and the rich. It’sin their standard bag of tricks. The American Left has just addedracial grievances to class anger and resentment, always feeding moreand more power to the racial socialists to buy peace for the verygrievances they have whipped up in the first place. The NAACP todaypractices racial socialism. So does Obama. “Racial Ssocialism” drivesthe Left’s current assault on American values. That’s why JeremiahWright is such a significant part of Obama’s life. Wright specializedin whipping up racial anger for political purposes. Obama’s career waspowered by it.
Only12.3 percent of Americans are black, and they cannot command a majorityvote. It’s therefore necessary to add gender socialism, because halfthe population are women. If enough women can be made to feel rageagainst normative America, along with blacks, Hispanics, and the poor,you’ve got majority control of the country. You can add the wackierGreens, the ones who fall for the global warming scam, the anti-nuclearscam, and all the other anti-scientific Luddites who vote Left. TheDemocrats control our major cities with a coalition of those whipped-upgrievance groups.
Weare no longer a society run by talent, work, and opportunity. Likeancient Egypt and Sumer, we are a society where the ruling classexploits its productive workers by taxing their labor, talent, andability to recognize and use new opportunities.
BarackH. Obama is the logical outcome of racial socialism. You can see it inhis words and actions, and his very physical stance, all signaling hissense of superiority, the flip-side of feelings of inferiority he isreacting against. Obama’s core support came from the Leftist allianceof grievance groups in spite of his total lack of relevant experience.Obama is objectively the least qualified person to be elected to thepresidency. But the media could not say that, because it would havebeen non-P.C. to tell the truth.
Obama’selection was a kind of guilt propitiation by the American people forthe history of slavery. But that is bizarre. Living people are notresponsible for what others did two hundred years ago. That is a racistidea — it makes sense only if whites have Evil Genes — just like traditional anti-Semitism and hatred for blacks as a race.
Weare seeing the consequences right in front of our eyes today, as thisadministration demonstrates its incompetence and intellectual confusionabout the most obvious problems we face — the Islamist terror threat,for starters.
Themost famous version of racial socialism is you-know-who. The Nazis roseto power by whipping up racial resentment against the Jews, theGypsies, and other “inferior” peoples: race-based national socialism.For the Nazis, the “oppressed” were the German people, das Volk, as a race.Racial socialism is routine in post-colonial regimes, like in the caseof Robert Mugabe, who clings to power by scapegoating whiteZimbabweans, people who also happen to run the farms that provide foodfor that country. Like Stalin and Kim Jong Il, Mugabe is exploitingracial divisions at the cost of starvation and poverty for his people.
That is also why Obama’s Dreams from My Father isan important policy statement, whether Bill Ayers wrote it or not.Obama is a post-colonial socialist, as was his father — a Kenyan whowanted revenge against white Britons who ran colonial Kenya. That iswhy as president, Obama bizarrely tries to diss the Brits — both theQueen and socialist Prime Minister Gordon Brown — while bowing low toautocrats like the king of Saudi Arabia. There is something veryregressive about that. It is looking to the past, not the present orthe future.
Post-colonialsocialism has been a universal failure wherever it has been tried.Robert Mugabe is one in a long series of failures. In India, the bigpost-colonial socialist was Jawaharlal Nehru, and his Congress Partyhas now switched its economic policies to encourage free markets,having learned something from decades of economic failure. In China, asimilar evolution has happened. In Africa the most successful regimeshave rejected post-colonial revenge socialism.
Butdon’t we owe black Americans something for the sins of slavery? Justlike we owe women for the sins of sexism, and gays for the sins ofheterosexuality?
The answer is no.Remedies for past injustices cannot be used to overthrow a society.Germany’s forced reparations after World War I destroyed the economyand the middle class, thereby undermining France and the rest of Europeas well. The attempted “remedy” for past sins also created anationalistic revenge movement, the Nazis, who committed aggressioneven bloodier than World War I. Revenge movements do not make forpeace.
Butthat is precisely what Racial Socialism is all about. But a societybased on racial compensation turns into a tyranny, just as a societybased on racial superiority does. Real democracy allows individuals toovercome their circumstances. But you can’t overcome your race, yourgender, or, in some cases, your sexual preferences. America istherefore being driven relentlessly toward a European ruling classmodel based on inheritance and not talent, hard work, and opportunity.
Race-based socialism is not progressive, but radically regressive,going back to the clan-based ruling classes of the first city-states inhuman history, as in Sumer, Egypt, and the Indus Valley six thousandyears ago. The Indian caste system arose as a racial layering of Indiansociety by different invading tribal groups. The Left is alwayspointing the finger at mainstream America for the sin of racism. Butracial divide and conquer is precisely the deliberate strategy of theLeft.
InBritain, Labour politicians have finally confessed that they hasdeliberately imported hundreds of thousands of Pakistani Muslims toserve as cheap wedge-voters against British whites, while constantlyaccusing normal, decent people of racism. Throughout Western societies,the Left has conducted a mean and cynical assault on the mainstream ofsociety, constantly undermining normal people while laying claim to ahigher morality.
