The plan is not as complex as it may seem. There are too many experts [economics, politics, war] getting too much air time and print space. They fill the information desert with rusty old Cadillacs, their noses buried in the dirt. 99% of the media is owned outright by the people who are trying to convince you that it’s much too complex a plan for you [ordinary citizen] to understand [poor not-expert that you are].

Am I the only one who remembers the anti-globalization movement of the 1980s and 1990s? As jobs were moving off-shore to countries in what was then called “The Third World”, leftists [as described by the neoliberals of the day] were complaining that Made in China was killing Made in America and Made in Germany and Made in the UK.

So now that neoliberals have repented and decided to bring manufacturing back to their various homes, the leftists [as described by today’s neoliberals] are complaining again, but this time because … well, why, exactly? Are we [I’m assuming the role of a leftist] in favor of cheap foreign labor sewing our shirts and pants for us, making our tennis shoes, manufacturing auto parts for us, building ships for us?

Take a step back and look at the big picture.

The Orange Monster, The Czar and The Emperor see the world from the point of view of their favorite dystopian novel: 1984. What could be simpler than to divide the world cake into 3 big pieces, with the master of each piece having absolute control over the internal workings of his [always masculine of course] piece of the world.

National Socialism [i.e. Fascism] is currently being rebranded to fit the internal system of each piece of the pie. Christian Nationalism for Trumplandia [formerly the USA], New Orthodoxy for Putania [formerly Russia], and Mercantile Taoism for Xina [formerly China].

Competition will always be open for pieces of Africa and South America [although Trumplandia will try to dispute that], but total war will be impossible because no 2 allies could reasonably defeat the other, given the nature of nuclear weapons. And as all mafias know, war is bad for business [unless the war is in some other place].

Constant jealousy and business greed will guarantee that alliances will continue to shift, as it does among the five mafia families of New York, and as it does with criminal organizations everywhere. For we must not forget that these 3 blocks are actually just huge criminal organizations.

And Europe?

Europa, Europa. Alas, stuck between a rock and a hard place, Europa will have to constantly fend off its two greatest enemies — one to the East, one to the West — and try to maintain some form of democracy. In order to do this, however, it will of necessity have to implement Militant Democracy as envisioned back in 1937 by Karl Lowenstein.

He saw what damage had been done to democracy in Germany because it didn’t act quickly and brutally against the Nazis. In order for democracy to survive in Europe, amid the rest of the world’s authoritarianism, it will have to root out and kill the right wing parties that want to undermine democracy.

Now, assuming that I am a liberal-thinking moral person who believes in free speech, etc., it seems rather anti-democratic for me [you, us] to want to destroy the free speech of some groups of people. The operative word here is “seems.” It may “seem” that way, but the truth is that anyone who allows clarity of thought and knowledge of intent to enter the equation will see that right-wing groups, like the ones already in power in the USA, Russia and China, are intent only on one thing, and that is to destroy democracy, so it is morally justifiable to eliminate like-minded fascist-thinking people and groups from accessing any of the power structures of society.

The kindest way to go about this type of elimination would be to give the people who are identified as anti-democratic [it’s so easy these days with social media and party membership] a chance for redemption [so Christian of us] or allow them to migrate willingly to the authoritarian country of their dreams, USA, Russia or China. For recalcitrant and unwilling neofascists I [personally now] would recommend deportation to neo-Christian Fortress Amerika, where they can earn $5 an hour as a member of the GREAT service economy, or, soon, $3 per hour as part of the GREAT new mass labor force in sewing sweatshops and iPhone factories [lyrics to Money for Nothing].

Bringing back manufacturing from low-income countries means creating low-income labor at home. The best way to do this is to crash the economy. Growth is only possible when there is a place to grow from. And it has to be a very low place!

Under the old neoliberalism, constant growth hit the wall of mathematical impossibility. It couldn’t grow any further. In order to restart growth, you have to go back to the bottom and once again work your way up. So, crash the economy.

The rich will always stay rich. If you have many billions, losing a few won’t change your lifestyle. But if you are in a position where you can lose enough to be made part of the new poor, then you are the perfect candidate for the low-income workers that revamped industry seeks.

For people at the top it’s a win-win situation. For those in what used to be the middle and the bottom, it’s lose-lose. But that’s OK isn’t it? [Now speaking as The True Believer.] Your children will have a job of some kind, no matter how poorly paid, your grandchildren — or maybe your great grandchildren — will eventually own something or other, perhaps, if privatization of land and roads has been limited to some extent.

And a residual benefit [still the True Believer here] is that nobody in the 3 major blocks of the world will ever have to be burdened with voting and choosing some representative to speak for you because all decisions will be made by someone richer and more powerful than you.

The End?

Although the Dark Ages [not completely dark] lasted some 400 years or so, modern dictatorships and authoritarian regimes don’t usually make it past the 50-year mark. There are too many intelligent and brave people around, and authoritarian systems are inherently corrupt, so command structures can be cut or just wither away due to their own ineptitude.

Ignorance is not bliss, not really, although authoritarians think that limiting knowledge is a key to success. It actually just rots the system from the inside, because the people holding the system together are too stupid to understand how people with knowledge are cutting their system to pieces.

Destroying fascism is a dangerous business or course. Fascists are ruthless. So it is up to anti-fascists [dare I say “us” now?] to also be ruthless — but without being stupid. Setting a Tesla on fire is stupid. Infiltrating the power structure is intelligent. Know how it works, know who is making it work and, [adapting a John Lennon book title] be A Spaniard in the Works.
