The Road to Fascism: For a Critique of the Global Biosecurity State

“…not to contribute to an academic debate about the meaning of the term ‘fascism’…”
Why make it the book title then? Why not “The Road To Banana Peels”? equally meaningless, as banana peels can be very coercive.
Is “Road To Tyranny” or “Road To Serfdom” too accurate? Stop using obsolete jargon.¹

¹ pedantry: Modern totalitarianism is corporatocratic-internationalist. If you must use obsolete terms to describe your serfdom, Communism comes closer (as fascism was supposed to be highly nationalistic). But that wouldn’t suit the Marxist rhetoric of the “alt-left”.

Re: “democracies”
Any alleged expert who talks about “democracies” AS IF a real democracy ACTUALLY EXISTS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD (or has existed at any time) is evidently living mindlessly and blindly in the propaganda world fed to them since a kid and/or is part of the (unconscious, ignorant, naive, willful) crowd who disseminates this total lie — familiarize yourself with the theory of the 2 married pink elephants in the room

“All experts serve the state and the media and only in that way do they achieve their status. Every expert follows his master, for all former possibilities for independence have been gradually reduced to nil by present society’s mode of organization. The most useful expert, of course, is the one who can lie. With their different motives, those who need experts are falsifiers and fools. Whenever individuals lose the capacity to see things for themselves, the expert is there to offer an absolute reassurance.” —Guy Debord

Re “how and why the general and widespread moral collapse in the West over the past two-and-a-half years has been effected with such rapidity and ease.”

Maybe we weren’t that moral to begin with, but had slowly decayed for sudden collapse. To repurpose Lenin’s words, there are weeks when decades happen because there have been decades when nothing seemed to happen. Particularly since the end of WW2, fascism has been creeping along fine tuning the machinery of the corporate state to now go into high gear. The background to the present is as intricate as the apparatus, as shown by Whitney Webb’s recent deep dive into the rabbit hole in One Nation Under Blackmail.

The domestic population in the US where I’ve lived over these past decades seems to have become all the more domesticated as cogs of industrial capitalism compartmentalized in functional performances of an increasingly institutional existence (Gesellschaft) while autonomous counterculture and community (Gemeinshaft) atrophied. This tyranny of capital got sold to us as our welfare in the American Dream.

There’s been a lot that’s undermined working class counterculture and community as it existed during the early American nightmares of urban industrialization, more militant by contrast. The visceral violence of capital then made self-conscious resistance necessary for self-preservation, while the palpable good of solidarity with others made for vision of self-fulfillment “for all the people” (Debs).

The American Dream dismantled this anarchic basis of the demos and democracy more than any police state crackdowns, though the latter certainly made their contribution, as with continuing anti-communist witch hunts. Old bad cop routines, though, found a perfect complement in the new good cop cons of middle class mythology which replaced socialist ideology.

Common struggle and common cause gave way to the competitive climb up the greasy pole of successful identification with capital accumulation in consumerism, replacing even conventional citizenship. What remained in wake of the reconstruction of social and psychic relations was a cultural and political wasteland waiting for neoliberalism to come along to put on the finishing touches with atomized individuals collectivized under the “inverted totalitarianism” (Sheldon Wolin) of Democracy, Inc. and commercially programmed culture of spectacle acquiescent to mind control and the Matrix.

Perhaps Cold War agitprop depicted communism leveling people down to a monoculture of fear in part to distract the free world from its own enslavement to illusion while life as we knew it was being leveled down to mindless choices in malls and movie houses, “useless passion” (Sartre) in pursuit of meaningless pleasures and running on emptiness.

“Civilization originates in conquest abroad and repression at home.” (Stanley Diamond) The class war constantly has been waged on those rulers rule by ruses of how those under occupation on the home front have it so much better than the barbarians beyond the gates. Today’s “masters of mankind” (Adam Smith) are capitalizing on long dispossessing us of the very consciousness of class to even see the Armageddon moment we are in now.

We defend and fight for what we love, but if the comforts and conveniences of commodity fetishism in America are any indication of how little we love, then final exchange of freedom for ‘security’ can seem a small price to pay by comparison with how much we’ve already lost. If there’s still a critical class mass awake in Babylon, I’ve yet to see them rise even remotely near the level of organized revolt of the short-lived Canadian truckers. Instead, the dumbed-down dog-and-pony shows of the electoral circus appear to define political possibility, or lack thereof, like the manufactured populism of the Trump Show (maybe Bernie will do a threepeat of his sheepdog act to complement that from the ‘left’).

As improbable as it seems, maybe weeks will become decades as scattered embers of insurrection reveal a “subterranean fire” (August Spies) and the kind of love necessary to guide a revolution (Che). But then I wouldn’t be talking about America anymore.

The Road to Fascism: was endorsed and promoted by alt media.How else did the parasites get that much credibility as in leave e,.u, orange man bad. populism movement all sold to the worse types, thoses who scream vaccine are terrible YET still voted, still endorsed, thoses who lockdown.

Having just watched the first 20 minutes of the interview, I suspect that Delingpole knows a lot more than he lets on, but I haven’t come to a view about whether he’s controlled or just treading carefully. Elmer seems to be in the process of being “red pilled”. I don’t know why this makes him some sort expert when there’s people who’ve known for several decades what’s going on.

For instance, the statistics can tell us that “the virus” (if it exists) is no worse than the typical flu, but why was it necessary to delve into statistics to figure out that the whole thing was a scam? There have been plenty of people (Alex Jones is probably the best known) who’ve been saying for a decade or more that TPTB were planning some sort of global pandemic – fake or otherwise. There is no shortage of movies etc depicting the various scenarios. To anybody who was remotely awake, it was obvious in early 2020 that covid was a scam.

Doesn’t Fascism require a deep Nationalism? That’s not where we’re headed.

“You will own nothing and never be happier is not ‘fascism’.”

Palestinians

The phrase “now we are all Palestinians” appeared at the start of the scamdemic but never obtained traction. An indication of how controlled the alleged “alt” media is.

When did Medical Fascism first become established?

It might be earlier than this, but I would place it with the passage of the Lunacy Act in 1845. Medical Fascism has been in continuous existence and expansion ever since. There has been no “return of fascism” and no “widespread moral collapse”. Instead, society has been fascist for a very long time and it’s now just reaping what it sowed!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Retreat

Opened in 1796, [the York Retreat] is famous for having pioneered the so-called “moral treatment” that became a behaviour model for asylums around the world with mental health issues. Founded by William Tuke, it was originally only for Quakers but gradually became open to everyone.[1] It inspired other progressive facilities such as the US Brattleboro Retreat, Hartford Retreat[2] and Friends Hospital.[3]

The Retreat opened in 1796 in the countryside outside York. It was planned to take in about 30 people but started with just three, then eight. Unlike mental institutions of the time, there were no chains or manacles, and physical punishment was banned. . . . There was little formal medical involvement and an apothecary, Thomas Fowler, served as physician. He gave the standard medical treatments “ample trial” but reluctantly and “courageously” abandoned them as failures.

However the Lunacy Act 1845 necessitated the appointment of a medically qualified superintendent and in 1846 the John Thurnam was appointed.[19]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunacy_Act_1845

the Lunacy Act 1845 created the Lunacy Commission to focus on lunacy legislation.[1] The Act was championed by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury. Shaftesbury was the head of the Commission from its founding in 1845 until his death in 1885.[2] The Lunacy Commission was made up of eleven Metropolitan Commissioners. The Commission was monumental as it was not only a full-time commission, but it was also salaried for six of its members. The six members of the commission that were full-time and salaried were made up of three members of the legal system and three members of the medical community.

The Act established the Commissioners in Lunacy to inspect plans for asylums on behalf of the Home Secretary (s.3). The Act required asylums, other than Bethlem Hospital, to be registered with the Commission, to have written regulations and to have a resident physician (s.42). Under the Act, patients lost their right of access to the courts to challenge their detention. Detention could only be reviewed by the commissioners or county visitors.

It’s all becoming so tedious.
Wake me up when the revolution starts..

I thoroughly recommend this book. It is so quotable – which is handy since in my opinion it amounts to the only decent account of the covid con to have appeared from a genuine Leftist perspective. It thereby single handedly gives us everything that the other Left sites should have been giving us but didn’t.

Here is a sample on the trans issue:

After noting that “even after the huge institutional support and financial backing this movement has received”, trans rights “still apply to only a fraction of a percentage of the population”, Simon goes on to say,

Under the colonisation of the West’s media, cultural and education institutions by woke, the subjective experience of race, of colour, of ethnicity, most recently of sexual difference and above all of the reviled and unrelentingly attacked working class, is being erased beneath the totalising homogeneity of positive discrimination, enforced diversity and unconscious-bias training, representational quotas and all the other programmes of social homogenisation. Just as the neoliberal ideology of multiculturalism created a global monoculture, so the government and corporate funding and institutional and educational hegemony of woke ideology has subsumed contrary social and political opinions and practices within the homogeneity created by monopolised cultural markets. No other movement since fascism has been as adept as woke at creating a nexus for cultural, legal and political change to shore up a failing capitalism, or has more rapidly attained ideological hegemony in the West.

Not to be overly critical, but mentioning a book without also reviewing it amounts to simply an advertisement for the book. I hope Mr. Elmer paid you for the nice ad.
