“What Might Full-Retard Collectivism Look Like in Amerika?”
by hedgeless_horseman
“Turn out the lights, the party’s over
They say that, ‘All good things must end’
Let’s call it a night, the party’s over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again.”
- Willy Nelson
“Collectively, we are a bunch of idiots.”
- Italian Socialist Elected President Of Europe’s Parliament
“As we in the Western World crumble and stumble along towards a new collectivist Utopia, similar I am sure to the old collectivist Utopias of the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela, I want to ask the question, what might Full-Retard Collectivism look like in Amerika?
Of course, the finest factual illustration of life with collectivism, everybody being equally miserable, is found in Russian literature: “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich“, by Alexander Solzhenitsyn This true story of survival under the worst of conditions is also a great lesson in what happens when the state goes full communism. Or, if you have the time, read the unabridged version, “The Gulag Archipelago“.
Obviously, I don’t expect to match Solzhenitsyn’s work in a ZeroHedge article. Nor do I hope to even come close to Dmitry Orlov’s recent and brilliant work: “The Five Stages of Collapse – Survivors’ Toolkit” However, I would like to use Orlov’s Five Stages as a template for this little exercise.
Stage 1: Financial collapse. Faith in “business as usual” is lost. In the case of financial collapse, the example is Iceland—the only country so far that had successfully fought off international efforts to saddle its people with the debts incurred by its defunct private banks, allowing it to recover economically even as the US and the EU, which bailed out their failed banks, continue to sink deeper and deeper.
Stage 2: Commercial collapse. Faith that “the market shall provide” is lost. Commercial collapse is shown as seen through the eyes of the Russian mafia and criminal syndicates, explaining how “the free market,” in order to be able to operate, requires, at the very least, a protection racket, be it the mafia or the government. For those brought up on the pablum of nonviolence, this case study offers a useful lesson on the constructive uses of violence
Stage 3: Political collapse. Faith that “the government will take care of you” is lost. Political collapse as a steady state condition is described through the example of the Pashtuns—one of the world’s largest ethnic groups inhabiting parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan—whose code of honor (Pashtunwali, or the Pashtun Way) has allowed them to fight off (and, in some cases, help destroy) every empire that ever blundered into their habitat. (They are known to the consumers of Western propaganda primarily as the Taliban.) The Pashtuns allow us to clearly see the dividing line between a hierarchical, imperialist, collapse-bound society and that of a steady-state, entrenched, well-organized anarchy.
Stage 4: Social collapse. Faith that “your people will take care of you” is lost. Social collapse—or, rather, a very stable lack thereof—is studied with reference to the Roma, or Gypsies, who have survived intact over many centuries and who now number in the millions both in Europe and the US in spite of being shut out financially, commercially and politically in every country they inhabit. This case study allows us to ponder what it means to be marginalized, for to be marginalized by a collapse-bound society can be a blessing in disguise.
Stage 5: Cultural collapse. Faith in “the goodness of humanity” is lost. Cultural collapse is explored with the help of the Ik, an African tribe of hunter-gatherers who, once they were prevented from hunting and gathering, survived by mutating into a cultural form that we may not wish to recognize as human—yet they persist. The Ik allow us to explore an important question: Is survival at all cost really worth it?”
So, what might Full-Retard Collectivism look like in Amerika? The likely answer, it seems to me, is pretty much exactly the same as it has looked everywhere else it has been tried. Happy Birthday America! May she age well and not die an old maid.
A Comment: This video is horrifyingly fascinating, truly terrifying, and as expected under the conditions depicted there’s extensive use of profanity, including the “F” word. If you’re too delicate, dainty, soft and pampered to literally see Hell on Earth or hear that word, or just being woefully ignorant and stupid as you chant “Oh, that could never happen here!”, don’t view this… go back to Twitter and/or Facebook where you’re comfortable. And God help you when it really gets bad, and it will…
