Mikhail Khazin's
economics and
spreading liberalism,
one coup at a
time...
Ilya Khotimsky was kind enough to send me summary of a
book he translated:
Russian economist Mikhail Khazin's, 'Recollections
of the Future - Modern Economic Ideas'. (Khotimsky's
summary is published
here.)
I'm no economist, but a few of Khazin's ideas
stood out to me.
First, his book focuses on what Khazin calls
"crises of capital effectiveness" (CCEs), examples of which include,
-
the 1900s crisis of banking liquidity
-
the Great Depression of the 1930s
-
the stagflation of the 1970s...
The last one
erupted in 2008, and these crises
only end,
"when access to new markets [is] achieved."
Khazin argues that the current crisis
cannot be resolved from within the existing economic model.
The only two solutions are to,
Between the two scenarios of the future, the one
that calls for saving America by recovering domestic
manufacturing, obviously, looks very appealing to US patriots (or we
can even call some of them "nationalists").
What does this scenario mean to them?
It means making the US dollar serve its primary
purpose:
support American industries.
Ultimately, this will allow the patriots to
reclaim their country.
However, the same scenario also requires
dissolution of the global financial system, as a result of
which, according to the author, the financial sector will shrink by
10 times or more.
Therefore, for
the transnational bankers or, as
Khazin calls them,
the "Western Global Project elite",
...this future looks bleak...!
Ideally, the bankers' goal is,
to make sure the scenario of America's
national economy resurgence is never enacted, or is at least
delayed for as long as possible.
This explains why liberalism - the
ideology of financiers - is so hostile to patriotism and
nationalism.
The Western education system and the media have
been working hard to,
-
paint patriotism as "racist"
-
replace national pride with guilt
-
undermine citizens' unity with "identity
politics"...
Above all, love for one's nation, respect for its
past, present and future come from traditional family upbringing …
The current system developed as financial capitalism replaced
manufacturing, elevating the banking sector over the productive
economy.
Wealth is now increasingly built by the
multiplication of "purely financial assets," essentially creating an
unsustainably inflated market based largely on energy derivatives.
Additionally, economic models transform a
society's values according to the goals of the model.
For Khazin, this explains,
"the alarmingly fast pace at which
liberal ideology has been imposed on us."
"Financiers have been the main proponents of
completely abolishing the values of traditional conservative
society and replacing them with the ideas of modern liberalism."
What we are seeing is the conflict between two
incompatible worldviews and practices.
On the one hand there is financial capitalism
and usury.
On the other, traditional Western
conservatism based on productive labor.
Therefore, for the financiers to keep their
wealth and power,
traditional society has to be
deconstructed...
To achieve this goal, the proponents of
liberalism push their agenda forward on many fronts, yet the main
attack has been launched against the society's most fundamental
institution:
the family...!
Traditional family has always been founded on
conservative principles because children are expected to obey their
parents, learn what is right and what is wrong, respect the elderly,
etc.
Additionally, Christian morals remind them
that,
"you shall not charge interest to your
brother."
That is why, as Khazin wisely observed,
"juvenile courts, gay-pride events, same-sex
marriages and other initiatives have been deployed to
weaken family structures and other conservative
institutions.
These actions have a conceptual goal:
to create a society in which
dominance of the financial elite and their
wealth-generating methods would face no opposition."
Last, but not least, as the author pointed out,
"the technology known as
Overton windows became
instrumental in shaking the foundations of social norms, and
then step-by-step altering the public perception of what's right
and wrong."
As I stated above, I'm not an economist so I'm
not suited to judge the merits of Khazin's work.
I'll just add that as a
ponerology enthusiast, I think that
economics, like all human systems, cannot be abstracted or
disconnected from psychology.
Values are somewhat mutable, but certain
tendencies are rooted strongly in our biology.
As such,
it is not just economic systems that shape
values.
Economic systems will also select for people
with certain attributes in a mutually reinforcing process.
The system attracts a certain type, and that type
reinforces and defines the system.
In order for an economic system to shape values,
it needs individuals who hold those new values, with the skills to
promote them and enforce them.
As
Lobaczewski points out
repeatedly,
there is only ever a minority of people who
will adopt values counter to human nature - and these
individuals for the most part have a defect in their human
nature allowing them to do so.
In this sense financial capitalism is very
similar to communism.
As the system gains supremacy, those running the
system will become progressively more saturated with those for whom
the system works on a fundamental level, value-wise.
Some people - a minority - have no natural
affinity for traditional (i.e. normal) human values, and thus
have no problem completely abolishing them.
In fact, some people have a basic inborn
disdain for such values, because they have completely different
hardware.
These are the people for whom normal society is
"oppression," like the pedophile who just wants to be "free" to
"love" whomever he wants, but is oppressed by a bigoted, moralistic
society.
Naturally, if an economic system develops that shares his goal of
"completely abolishing the values of traditional conservative
society," that system will have gained a supporter.
And since the issue is existential for him,
he will be a fanatical supporter.
This at least partly (and I would argue largely)
explains why communism developed the way it did, and why its
ideology has always vociferously attacked,
"society's most fundamental institution," the
family...
It's because its greatest advocates were
psychological/social/sexual misfits and deviants. It seems that the
same goes for financial capitalism and the type of liberalism
undergirding it.
Communism and financial capitalism attract
psychopaths of all descriptions.
And recall what I said in "The
Long Road of Degeneration":
Psychopaths are natural experts at
psychological warfare and thus at Overton window hacking:
"shaking the foundations of social norms,
and then step-by-step altering the public perception of
what's right and wrong."
This is instrumentalized paromorality introduced
and enforced through controlled pathological egotism or "coercive
control."
In that same article, I wrote:
If you adopt the psychological techniques of
a
pathocracy, you'll probably end
up adopting the psychology (and psychological demographics) of a
pathocracy.
The risk isn't becoming "literal Nazis":
it is becoming progressively more
pathocratic...
All pathocracies are fundamentally compatible
with each other despite whatever seeming incompatibilities their
ideologies might possess.
And the Western world is becoming
progressively more pathocratic.
The recent revelations
about USAID demonstrate this
perfectly.
The CIA, after adopting political/psychological
warfare strategies,
weaponized this playbook worldwide to spread
"democracy" and "liberalism"...
Three years ago I interviewed Polish Member of
the European Parliament Ryszard Legutko about just this.
It's what he described in his book:
The Demon in Democracy - Totalitarian
Temptations in Free Societies...
Mike Benz describes the playbook in
detail, which involves,
-
"judicial reform" (i.e., corrupting a
nation's judiciary to attack threats to the new values)
-
sparking and directing protest movements
to topple governments unfriendly to the agenda
-
funding "liberal" causes to weaken
conservative institutions (like promoting "women's
empowerment" and gender-identity programs to mobilize the
female vote)
-
"fortifying" election procedures to
ensure popular candidates lose and preferred candidates win
-
promoting "independent" journalism to
parrot foreign liberal propaganda (and censor domestic
dissent)
-
shaping education policies to reinforce
the liberal worldview
-
arresting dissident politicians to ensure
they don't gain or regain power...
This is what Lobaczewski described as pathocracy
via "artificial infection":
worldview warfare, revolutionary warfare,
political warfare, or as we've come to call it, "soft power" and
"democracy promotion."
It's why
USAID was funding,
-
"a cohort of Cambodian youth with
enterprise driven skills"
-
"strengthening independent voices in
Cambodia"
-
"gender equality and women empowerment
hubs"
-
"improving public procurement" in Serbia
-
voter turnout in India
-
the "Consortium for Elections and
Political Process Strengthening"
-
"voter confidence" in Liberia
-
"social cohesion" in Mali
-
"inclusive democracies" in Southern
Africa
-
"sustainable recycling models" to
"increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized
communities" of Kosovo Roma, Ashkali, and Egypt...
The goal is not to make the world a better
place...:
it is to homogenize the world in a
manner which suits the goals of financial capital and the values
of global pathocrats, which are in alignment...
