The following article is from my 2007 archive. I don't think it dates - if anything, it is more pertinent now than it was then!
**************************************
Is it possible to be well adjusted, attractive,
educated, successful, and a liberal? Alternatively, is it possible to be
both Politically Correct and a liberal at the same time? In order to understand
the peculiar contradictions of contemporary liberalism it is necessary first to
understand the meaning of classical liberalism circa 1900 and the liberalism of
the West in 2007.
Classical liberalism meant a belief in the
democratic process, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, equality of
opportunity (although never quite couched in such terms), the presumption of
innocence, small government, the individual before the group, religious
freedom, trial by jury, habeas corpus, the rights of the child, an obligation
to help the genuinely disadvantaged in society and, generally speaking, a live
and let live laissez-faire attitude. It was the product of many hundreds of
years of gradual evolution encompassing Christianity, the reformation, the
enlightenment, common law, the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. It
was a cause for the good and the term liberal one to be worn with pride.
How does this square with the self confessed
metropolitan liberals of today? Imagine the smooth young advertising executive,
hosting a dinner party in Greenwich village or Notting Hill, suddenly
announcing to his Armani-clad coterie of media and public relations friends
that, whilst holding himself up as a liberal, he disapproved of mass
immigration, multiculturalism, state education’s socialist propaganda, the
European Union, same-sex marriage, homosexual adoption, atheism and feminism.
As jaws dropped around the table some embarrassed
diners would make their polite excuses and fumble for the keys to their oh so
green Toyota Prius, whilst others, white-faced and shaking with genuine anger,
would accuse him of racial bigotry, sexual bigotry, nationalism, religious
fundamentalism and xenophobia. Yet whilst these proud young members of the
privileged, cosseted elite may believe that they and they alone hold the moral
credentials that personify the term liberal, they fail to understand that all
their beliefs are the antithesis of true liberalism, that they have followed a
long and winding path from the classical liberalism of 1900 to that which they
are today — Totalitarian and Fascistic. In short they had mutated from
Classical Liberalism to Politically Correct Liberalism.
We see this in their extreme and hysterical
reaction to those who disagree with them, their apparent hatred of Western
civilisation, of Israel, of free speech, traditional education, our history and
the leaders who helped make us what we are, of religion and of America — both
internally and externally. And whilst they are busy hating the very society and
culture which enables them to parasitically survive and prosper we see their
love affair with all the ideologies that threaten our society, manifested in
pro third-world immigration, multiculturalism, radical feminism and until very
recently, Communism (oh, if only they could have made their economy
work), and, of course, Islam.
And here the first of their varied pathological
contradictions is exposed for the sane world to see — how is it possible for
them to sympathise with Islam, a political ideology that runs counter to every
issue they apparently deem of transcendental importance? One of the pet words
of abuse that the Liberal love to smear their opponents with is Nazi yet
are they so blind they cannot differentiate between the white Nazis of 1940
that we “right wing” classical liberalists went to war with and the brown Nazis
of 2007 so admired by the “left wing” liberals of today?
Just look at the comparisons; Nazism was a
racially supremacist, totalitarian, Messianic movement with an avowed aim of
global domination; an ambition for which they were happy to use military force.
They genuinely believed they were the master race and all others the sub-race.
They promoted their ideology via overt propaganda in the brainwashing of their
children; they wished to eradicate Jews and homosexuals; they thought women fit
only for childbirth, the kitchen and the bedroom; and, finally, they thought
nothing of killing their critics. Islam is… exactly the same. It is the
21st Century reincarnation of the Nazi Party and as every white European is now
the new Jew or a member of the new sub-race, so Islam becomes our worst
possible sweat-soaked nightmare as an enemy. And the Liberal’s new best friend.
Not content with ensuring that a new Nazi party is
fostered and encouraged to grow within the West, the Liberal also works to
ensure that his own society is traduced and destroyed from within. He does this
by accepting the edicts of subversion planted by Soviet Moscow, with whose
ideology and global ambitions they were not entirely unsympathetic. It says a
great deal about the Liberal that he sympathised with an ideology penned by a
man with an unhappy childhood and catastrophic adult life whose bearded
scribbling led to a flawed revolution carried out in the wrong country at the
wrong time which subsequently reduced the Soviet working man (at the expense of
millions of deaths) to queuing for bread in Moscow whilst the capitalist
working man was queuing for beer in Ibiza.
When the Communists were forced — purely by
geographical necessity — to waylay their tanks used so successfully in the
Baltic States, Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, they turned instead to the
use of Western liberals as their fellow travellers/useful idiots to create
economic and cultural mayhem within their own countries, as a prelude to the
post anarchic emergence of their longed for Communist International. To this
end Western liberals attempted to destroy blue-collar industry via Trades Union
action and white-collar commerce by the ruining of education through
“progressive” educational techniques. In keeping with their Soviet counterparts
they sought, and still seek, to abolish religion and morality, and — via
feminism — the family.
They do this, as we well know, by their capture of
the media and educational establishments within which they use the same
brainwashing techniques geared toward the same ends as Hitler, Lenin, Stalin
and Mao (see: Thomas Sowell, Inside American Education).
The political brainwashing of children is a manifestation found only in
totalitarian societies. With past dictators it was a necessity to enable
permanent power; in the West today it portends a coming dictatorship — why else
would they do it? Although Lenin, the propagandist ancestor of today’s BBC or
CNN, was the originator of the brainwashing of children, it was difficult,
given the technology of the time, to systematically brainwash the adults, but
the BBC and CNN have simply taken his practice and adapted it to an
international, far reaching audience, surpassing even Hitler.
Hitler, whilst adopting the Lenin’s techniques for
indoctrinating children, took adult indoctrination to a whole new level, as
stated by Albert Speer, Hitler’s Minister for Armaments: Hitler’s
dictatorship differed in one fundamental point from all its predecessors in
histor. It was the first dictatorship in the present period of modern
technological development, a dictatorship which made complete use of all
technical means for the domination of its own country. Through technical
devices like the radio and the loudspeaker, eighty million people were deprived
of independent thought….” What he could have done with twenty-four hour TV
does not really beg the question because CNN and the BBC are doing it anyway,
subtly perhaps, but this is an even greater method — given time.
Hitler was intent on using such propaganda in order
to form the Master Race, Lenin the New Socialist Man, but what exactly does the
Liberal of today wish to bring about? It is not, despite his insistence, The
One World, Socialist, Multicultural Man, because this is where the Liberal
deviates from the slavish following of his ideological ancestors — who at least
attempted to advance their own countries — and sets up the indigenous
population of his own country as the hate figure to be vilified. Hate
figures are always necessary in warfare or dictatorships, be it Oceania, the
bourgeoisie or the Jew. The white, male, heterosexual, Judaeo-Christian
European now fulfils this model by dint of his imperial past and his supposed
present day oppression/exploitation of non-whites, females and homosexuals.
That the lumpen masses are relatively unconcerned
is due not merely to their lack of cogent reasoning but to their numerical
advantage. Why should they feel threatened by people they seldom see and via
media censorship, rarely hear about? But demographics suggest that the white
European will become a minority all across the West within the next fifty
years, in some countries even sooner. This reality, coupled with our acceptance
of the type of abuse reserved historically for Hitler’s Jews and Lenin’s
middle/upper-classes should cause us grave reservations. What on earth is the
Liberal thinking of when he introduces “Anti-Racist” maths into school lessons
or “Whiteness Studies” into university lectures? Can he not see where this
leads, how can he be so blind?
Whilst they are busy beavering away at these
destructive antics, the Liberal will demonise, vilify and intimidate, both
verbally and physically, any opponents who stand in his way. By such repressive
actions he again casts himself into the same mould as Hitler, who once said: “A
systematically one sided argument must be adopted towards every problem that
has to be dealt with. He must never admit that he might be wrong, or that
people with a different point of view might be right. Opponents should not be
argued with; they should be attacked, shouted down, or if they become too much
of a nuisance, liquidated”.
The Liberal’s repressive attitude toward free
speech can be seen on University campuses across the West today, even if
liquidation is a step too far. Hilary Clinton was/is a firm advocate of
such behaviour, having immersed herself as a none-too-attractive youth in
“Rules For Radicals” by Saul Alinsky. Yet whilst they shout down and intimidate
the defenders of Western society, they seem blissfully unaware of the destruction
their policies have inflicted on the young, the poor and the elderly – the very
people the Liberal purports to represent, and the future international
consequences that their peculiar ideology of multiculturalism can only bring
about.
It is not conservative policy that has resulted in
millions of our children leaving school ill-equipped to succeed in our First
World economy, and it is not conservative policy that brainwashes these
children into a blindness to the racial dangers they will face in later years.
It is not conservative policy that causes drug-addicted lower classes to live
in crime and squalor whilst the metropolitan liberal elites indulge themselves
with recreational drugs, and it is not conservative policy that has bought
about the destruction of the family and the serial sexual abuse perpetrated by
this month’s “mummy’s new boyfriend”.
It is not conservative policy that
confines the elderly to their houses for fear of becoming the victims of
violent, moral-free children, and it is not conservative policy that allows
these feral children to have no fear of the police. It is not conservative
policy that has turned the West into an outpost of Arabia and it is not
conservative policy that threatens the white European with the very real possibility
of eradication well before the end of this century. And finally it is not
conservative policy that criminalizes any person who dares point out any of the
above.
Not only is the Liberal apparently unaware of such
destruction, he also appears unaware of where this will lead. This is another
pathological contradiction that so assuages his ideology. By any objective
analysis the path he has set Western society upon can only end in anarchy and
racial based civil war, out of which must arise either an Islamic West or a
counterrevolution led at best by a Pinochet, at worst a Hitler. From the
cohesion and peace of the 1950’s we are descending into the bitter ideological
struggles of the 1930’s Weimar Republic, the reds versus the brownshirts, the
liberal left versus the “far” right. Whichever is the winner, there can be only
one absolute guarantee; the liberal infidel or the liberal traitor will be the
first up against the wall. How can they be so blind?
Perhaps the answer to this lies in Tammy Bruce’s
book The Death of Right and Wrong which ranks as a necessary read in her
exposure of the damage caused by liberal ideology. Tammy Bruce was a
high-ranking activist in the National Association of Women (NOW) but became so
disgusted by their attitudes that she broke ranks and started to write from the
compassionate “right”. She believes the driving force of the Liberal to be “Malignant
Narcissism”, a mental condition attributable to childhood abuse and trauma
inflicted by parents, authority figures, or peers.
Bruce quotes psychoanalyst Otto Kernberg, who
describes it thus: “This pathological idealisation of the self as an
aggressive self clinically is called malignant narcissism. And this is very
much connected with evil and with a number of clinical forms that evil takes,
such as the pleasure and enjoyment in controlling others, in making them
suffer, in destroying them, or the casual pleasure in using others’ trust and
confidence and love to exploit them and to destroy them.”
Tammy Bruce then goes to say in her own words: “The
core components of this syndrome are pathological narcissism, paranoid traits
and aggression. Self-preservation, self-promotion and maintaining power are all
traits that prevail in the malignant narcissist. The people and issues they
supposedly serve exist only to be exploited for their own benefit”.
Bruce then concludes with this damning comment: “I
have participated at both the local and national levels of NOW; I have spent
time with other feminists and gay special-interest groups and their leaders; I
have worked in the entertainment industry and all forms of news media; and I
have worked with political campaigns for democratic candidates. I have also
spent time around universities. I can say with full confidence that what I have
seen driving and controlling the actions of the Left Elite in all these venues
– culturally, politically and socially – is malignant narcissism. Issues are
used and people exploited for the sake of power. Malignant Narcissism is the
god of the Left Elite.”
One need not look far to see examples of this. Bill
and Hilary Clinton, Cherie Blair, Jane Fonda, Marx and Engels, Andrea Dworkin,
Germaine Greer etc etc. The list of liberals and dysfunctional childhoods is
endless. Liberalism and mental dysfunction go hand in hand, leading to the
reality that is the West today; our dysfunctional elites so consumed with
virulent self-loathing that they are happy to preside over the eradication of
the society they feel so damaged them. The West has become a lunatic asylum and
the lunatics have taken control at all the various levels in all the various
institutions that shape our future.
So, after fifty years of the ongoing, politically
correct, liberal revolution what exactly has the Liberal achieved? That they
have partially destroyed our race, culture, society and countries is not in
question, but neither is it a result of well-intentioned incompetence. It is
success on a massive scale, if you measure success as evil intent. They have
caused untold hurt to the poor, the young, the vulnerable and the elderly and
as they did this they utilised the propaganda and repression techniques
descended directly from the two most evil empires in history, Nazism and
Communism.
Their present flirtation with Islam is proof, if
further proof is needed, that the appeal of brutal totalitarianism overrides
their professed love of feminism and homosexuality, thereby redirecting onto
themselves Hitler’s statement with regard to the liquidation of opponents: “The
morally squeamish intellectual may be shocked by this kind of thing but the
masses are always convinced that right is on the side of the active aggressor.”
Perhaps this is why they favour the bellicose invasion of their countries via
third world immigration and multicultural propaganda, but what this
realistically shows is that they are consumed with such a loathing for the West
and indeed themselves that they favour their own ethnic and civilisational
demise and are characteristically unmoved that they will take us down with
them.
To compound obscenity upon obscenity they
deliberately camouflage this wanton, genocidal destruction under the banner of
tolerance, diversity and equality. They are worse than the Nazis, they are
treacherous Nazis. In answer to the opening question of this essay, they are not
balanced, sane people, and they are not liberals. Their actions speak louder
than their mendacious words; they are self-hating malignant narcissists. To
call themselves liberal is as duplicitously self-serving as were a genuine Nazi
to promulgate the same views he held in 1940 yet call himself a liberal today.
Politically correct liberalism IS Nazism coupled with Communism, whilst
classical liberalism is the ideology of we right wing opponents. They are
insane, or so utterly evil that that in itself is a form of insanity.
We scribblers and readers of the supposed political
“right” are not by nature terribly interested in politics. We were never
radicals, activists or wannabe revolutionaries. That we exist today is purely a
reaction to the Liberal’s attempts to bring down the society in which we live.
Without them I would suggest that the vast majority of us would be content to
mow our lawns, raise our families, pay taxes, give to charity and support
benign political parties. YOU the Liberal have made us what we are today, YOU
the Liberal have bought us into existence. Just as a peaceful man may be driven
to assault a paedophile that molests his child, so we exist as a counter to
your ongoing damage to our countries and by default our children and future children.
Your belief that we will go quietly into the night is only further evidence of
your arrogant disconnection from reality or sanity.
But now, with the advent of the Internet we have
access to information that validates what we suspected but could not prove, and
the means of using this information to spread and facilitate a defence. We’ve
rumbled you, my liberal friend, you can no longer censor us out of your insane
destruction of our countries and our cultures. You have lost your grip on the
means of information and if you think that you are the self righteously
angry defenders of the oppressed, well, you ain’t seen nothing yet. You have no
idea how oppressed you make us feel, how angry we are, or how
many we number. This justifiable anger is directed principally at the malignant
narcissist liberal whose intention has always been to destroy, but you, the
middle class liberals filled not with hatred but with well-intentioned guilt
must understand that you have been duped, your alliance with politically correct
liberalism is just as destructive, and we have had enough.
You, the Liberal, must understand that the people
whose race and culture is being slowly swept away by politically correct
liberalism are the very people who built the civilisation you have inherited.
If this civilisation were to die we would become a tribal Iraq, Somalia or
Yugoslavia. So I implore you, recognise the reality of what is happening,
reappraise your idea of liberalism and channel your guilt not into the past but
into the future, the guilt you would surely feel — you must surely feel
— if you allowed your children and your grandchildren to inherit a Third World
society, with all that implies, bought about by you — The Liberal.
Thanks Paul. Another fantastic article.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gerard. It's an old one, but still relevant....I'm trying to combine new articles plus re-posting some from my archive. Seems silly to let them go to waste.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind my saying so ... a "Paul Weston Reader," i.e., a book-length collection of your essays would be a wonderful addition to anyone's library--especially a Christ-despising, Far Left, Islamophile, traitorous university's (sorry for waxing redundant; "university" would have been quite sufficient). Hopefully you will find time to compile and publish such a helpful anthology. Of course the final product may need to be published here in the USA (Regnery?), as your jackbooted Thought Police would probably arrest anyone who tried to put it in print over there. :(
DeleteThanks for your reply Paul. May I say I have been following yourself and liberty GB for a while and am deeply touched by what you write and say.since 2014 I have been living in Warsaw , Poland. This place in many respects is a paradise. It is homogenous,100% catholic, they have a strong sense of identity, family,tradition and no multiculturalism. Coming from inner city London,being born and bred there in the 196o"s, a son of a Spanish and Creole Mauritian parents, a true product of the Multicultural"dream" so pursued by Britain's quisling elite, it is a huge shock to be in an all white, peaceful ,civilised society. I thank God everyday I am here. Very few immigrants live here as there is not much for free and it's hard even for the Poles let alone an immigrant. And this absence is striking. It reminds me of how England used to be in the 1950's before the ethnic cleansing programme began. I suggest a visit to this part of the world ,eastern Europe, it will bring much hope to you for the future of the UK and Europe re establishIng in you the dream of what you would like in the UK. By the way,crime, rape, social disorder gun crime ,gangs, immigrant ghettos,they do not exist here like in the UK hence a great feeling of well being amongst the locals who certainly do not have any desire to be'enriched' by 3rd world immigrant culture. Cultural Marxism has very little hold here as they experienced real Marxism so you will not pull the wool over their eyes that easily though you can slowly see it creeping in with western and EU influence. I have printed of your article and will be passing it around as I normally do to friends and like minded individuals who are many here, more females than male may I add. Your work and tireless struggle for your people ,whom I know to be a wonderful, intelligent and unique breed upon this earth,does not go unnoticed and many of your readers/fans are touched deeply by your writings. Keep going . You have the support of many and I hope the great spirit of Albion will guide and inspire you further. God bless. Ps I will donate to Liberty GB tomorrow,pay day☺
ReplyDeleteI am very envious Gerard! I lived in Prague between 1990-2000, so I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a feeling that if we cannot control the descent of Western Europe, countries such as Poland and Czech Republic will soon see waves of English migrants. I plan to write an article on this, and also one on the difference between the politicians in Eastern/Western Europe. Many thanks for impending donation!
ReplyDeleteYou do write some absolute nonsense .So everybody that doesn't believe in your white Utopia is a traitorous lefie . its far bettter to be a so called "lefties" that actually believes in equality of the human race than your racist white supremacist totalitarian state. You really need to get out and see the world instead of spouting your hatred. You far right Nazi worshippers are just that a bunch of sick,deluded ,racists. How often do you make calks for violent attacks on the democracy? You are forced encouraging "execute the traitor politicians "? If this isn't in breach of the terrorism acts I don't know why . there is no conspiracy to take over the world by " brown Nazis" the only real danger is from you and your deluded,bigoted,barefaced racist self Mr Weston .have you ever wondered why you are not in jail for inciting murder and other violent crimes against those that oppose you ? If you were a "brown person", yoid be jail long ago its because the majority of us " lefties traitors"see you as the crackpot extremists that you are a joke and are best ignored
ReplyDeleteThank you for so gloriously proving my point about the sheer, utter insanity of left-liberals! Bravo! Your ability to conjure up total fantasy whilst simultaneously avoiding stark facts and reality is quite something to behold! Do please continue to leave comments here - your one paragraph says more about left-liberal lunacy than my entire article!
DeleteIncredible. Britain absolutely needs its own equivalent of the detention center for terrorists and saboteurs the US has set up at our Marine Corps base in Guatanamo Bay, Cuba. "Anonymous" and his buds need to be kept there--indefinitely. Problem is, there are so many saboteurs like "anonymous" running around loose undermining the UK that you would need a space as large as the Isle of Man to contain them all! :(
