The Dictators And The Three-Class System

It seems tacky to the point of being (almost) inexcusable to refer to a book through the review of someone else. Yet here I go.

The book, now on order, is "The Dictators"; the reviewer is at his blog called Vulgar Morality. The review was written in 2005; part of the review illuminates the three-class system of totalitarianism which was used by both the communists and the fascists, and is similar to the three class-system used today by the Atheist, Leftist utopian Messiahs seeking to dominate the west through class wars.

Excerpt from the review:

"Hitler and Stalin never lost a night’s sleep over the millions they murdered. Both thought they were in the right. They maintained that certainty in their moments of greatest power, and on the verge of disaster and defeat - in Hitler’s case, to the grave. Both erected and imposed on the populations they ruled systems of morality, of right and wrong action, that broke radically with the past.

This fearful transformation was accomplished by brute force, but it had theoretical underpinnings, which we must take at face value. The first step was the appropriation of modern science. The Nazis believed that racial theory followed from Darwin as transmitted by Haeckel. The Soviets worshipped at the altar of “scientific socialism.”

If one granted these premises, then science, with its immense authority, seemed to come down against the existence of universal moral values. Religions and philosophies that claimed universality were relics of a prescientific age. The same, of course, was true of the moral traditions of Germany and Russia, which derived to a great extent from Christianity and moral philosophy. Such traditions weren’t viewed as evil or wrong. They were unscientific, like a belief in satyrs and nymphs. They were false.

Cut loose from universal moral principles and from moral traditions alike, the totalitarians became emancipated from every theoretical restraint on behavior. They could build or destroy, nurture or kill, without qualms. In practice, both made a supreme moral imperative of the revolutionary struggle.

For the Nazis, the struggle was for racial purity and domination. For the Soviets, it was to build communism in one country. But such positive goals fail to capture the spirit of totalitarian morality. The orientation was always toward the enemy. The terms used conveyed an unutterable loathing and rage. The Jew and the capitalist wrecker were described as satanically powerful and cunning, and magically present in the most trivial acts: a joke, a careless word. They had to be destroyed.

That was the moral core of totalitarianism."
[Emphasis added]

Today's pajama boy leftists and feminist tyrants are milquetoast by comparison, of course. But their utopian plans for salvation of the Victims - usually themselves plus a co-dependent class of sycophants - depends on the valiant and moral struggle for marginalizing and demonizing the enemy class: The Oppressors. In the pursuit of utopia, of course. It is the same for all tyrants apparently. But their outcomes are somewhat different, with the outside enemy conquering Hitler, but with inside power struggles dooming Stalin.

The interesting need for a faulty view of science and using that to eradicate fixed principles for behaviors is also part of the current culture wars, with even scientists participating alongside the utopians who are ignorant of science altogether. In order for the three-class, utopian tyranny to flourish, all moral restraint on behaviors must be removed and replaced with the new morals of "Social Justice" which directly support the three-class Messiahs.
