Yes, I have been away from the BLOG for a while. It was not for lack of subject matter. If nothing else, Obama is always good for a few thousand words of current disgust. We had the Republican debates (also somewhat disappointing), the possible disintegration of Al Qaida, the receding recession (fact or fiction, single or double dip?), gays (forced down our throats), and the executive order of defacto amnesty for illegal aliens. Maybe I've been lazy, maybe even negligent. Today, though, I got to thinking, why swat at individual wasps when you can poke at the entire nest? Here is the result:
Despite my education, both in university and self educated, I am at a complete loss to understand the wide differences in political philosophies. While my experiences in life have forged my own philosophy into what many term "conservative", and even though I strive to understand them, I simply cannot grasp the logic behind "liberal" or as many prefer "progressive" thought and actions.
To me it seems the origin of much of today's "liberal" philosophy can be traced to perhaps well meaning philosophers like Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels who professed a social change that was 180 degrees from that of the prevailing monarchies in the nineteenth century. Political leaders like Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky and Mao seemed to have hijacked selected portions of Marx's philosophy to experiment in social engineering. This grand experiment was termed communism, while the basis was termed Marxism. Subsequent leaders around the world adopted portions of communism and "tweaked" it to meet their own, often perverted, notion of social engineering. This action is being propagated throughout the globe despite the complete failure of communism in its birthplace, the Soviet Union. Even China has begun to reject many of the oppressive tenets of Maoism that held them back from becoming a world power.
I would define pure social engineering as a continual process of social experimentation to obtain what is unobtainable, complete social balance. Communism, Marxism, Maoism, Leninism, Stalinism and all of the off-shoots are social engineering experiments gone bad.
At the root of the Marxist philosophy is the subjugation of the individuals for the perceived good of the group. The reason this can never work is that humans are endowed with, well... human nature. One immutable feature of human nature is free thought. Unless overcome buy insanity or some version of mind control, one cannot absolutely subjugate ones self to the benefit of the collective. To do so would invalidate ones individuality, and human minds don't naturally relinquish their individuality.
The result of applications of Marxist philosophy is that while professing to nurture equality among the population, those in leadership positions and those surrounding them, are always elevated to a superior position. This alignment oppresses the many for the benefit of the few -- exactly what the philosophy strives to eliminate.
In a free and open society you have the same relationship, with sections being oppressed and others living well, but the significant difference is the opportunity all have to become well-off. Those living under Marxist tenets have no ability to change their assigned lot in life.
Are there still those who still believe in Marxism? You bet. These are the social engineers, many calling themselves "socialist", "liberal", "progressive" or outright "leftists". These often times well meaning people strive to experiment with society to achieve equality in every aspect of life. I don't know if they can't see or merely refuse to see that it's like they're playing with a balloon. If they squeeze one part it creates a bulge in another part. The only way to get it to a uniform shape is to let go of it. But social engineers don't see that.
Are they blind to reality, or just stupid? Maybe neither. Maybe they are simply vile and evil. The rebellious nature incubated in youths in the 1950s blossomed and took a deep hold of youths in the 1960s and 1970s. In lashing out blindly at "the establishment", many looked toward the antithesis of the free society they were raised in and embraced Marxism. Lenin termed these individuals his "useful idiots". Ever since the violent communist revolutions at the beginning of the 20th century, communists have been trying to seed their vile poisonous doctrine in this country. The trumped up fear of communist "witch hunts" during the late 1940s to the late 1950s gave anyone publicly disparaging communism a quick accusation of McCarthyism. The term communist was replaced with liberal or progressive, and communism soon became the more palatable term socialism. A turd by any other name still smells the same, though.
While the communist drive heated up with organizations like the American Communist Party, Weather Underground, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and others, social engineers, and in particular Marxists, stealthily and often openly infiltrated our institutions of higher learning. Tolerance, free speech, and diversity became the liberal mantra for social engineering. Moral decline and perversion has been thrust upon our society and often legislated by our leaders. One of the greatest promoters of communism, Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev openly and loudly proclaimed "we will bury you" while banging his shoe on a conference table and secretly arming Cuba with missiles aimed at our country.
Has the effort to subvert and subjugate our nation diminished since the fall of communism in eastern Europe and Asia and modifications to Maoism in China? Not in the least, if anything, it has increased with the inclusion of the radicals of the '60s into mainstream politics. The people who openly professed revolution in the '60s are now in leadership positions in our government. Have their philosophical position changed over time? Can a Leopard change its spots? Can a Cobra be domesticated? Not likely!

The big question is why are Lenin's "useful idiots" not seeing the damage being done?
