See you this evening, fellow patriots.
Emphasis mine. Mark also supplied the epilogue to Ameritopia as a useful tool in understanding what is actively occurring in America...check it out here.
My premise, in the first sentence of the first chapter of this book, is this: “Tyranny, broadly defined, is the use of power to dehumanize the individual and delegitimize his nature. Political utopianism is tyranny disguised as a desirable, workable, and even paradisiacal governing ideology.”
Plato’s Republic, More’s Utopia, Hobbes’s Leviathan, and Marx’s workers’ paradise are utopias that are anti-individual and antiindividualism. For the utopians, modern and olden, the individual is one-dimensional—selfish. On his own, he has little moral value. Contrarily, authoritarianism is defended as altruistic and masterminds as socially conscious. Thus endless interventions in the individual’s life and manipulation of his conditions are justified as not only necessary and desirable but noble governmental pursuits. This false dialectic is at the heart of the problem we face today.
ADDENDUM: By the evening, during Wednesday's program, Levin pulled no punches with the unvarnished truth of Tuesday's loss and the attacks on conservatism, as well as getting around to the Leftist 'scoundrels'.
