Mass protests break out at Columbia University after they find out that 12,000 Iranians have been massacred in the last 48hrs alone.
Oh, wait. Yea, nada.
For the record, that is the highest number of people massacred in two days since WWII.
You can almost hear the crickets…
Only in America can a kid wear $150 shoes, sip a $8 coffee, and post from a $1,200 phone about being oppressed and claiming capitalism has failed them.
It almost doesn’t matter whether someone calls themself a Nazi, a communist, or a nationalist. The structure of power has already been conceded. Once you accept the idea of a leader or a state with absolute authority over the individual, the labels become interchangeable.
If Hitler had woken up one day and decided that nationalization should be done in the name of the proletariat rather than the Volk, nothing in his system could have stopped him.
If Stalin had decided that class identity should be replaced with racial identity, nothing in his system could have stopped him either.
Because once you erase individual rights, the borders between ideologies dissolve. The dictator’s whim becomes the law. The ideology just becomes the aesthetic justification for power.
The real issue isn’t:
• Nazi or Communist
• Right or Left
• Nationalist or Internationalist
The real issue is:
Is the individual protected from the state, or is the state allowed to rule the individual?
If the state outranks the person, you have already accepted the principle that made both Hitler and Stalin possible. You have already surrendered the only safeguard that prevents atrocities.
This is why debating labels is a distraction.
The danger is not the branding.
The danger is the concentration of power.
Once a system allows a government or ruler to override individual rights, everything else is decoration.
The only real defense against tyranny is the recognition that:
No person, no party, and no nation has the right to own the life of an individual.
At that point, it doesn’t matter what color the flag is.
