We can
deny his conclusions, like laws of mathematics and physics are denied
in some American schools, but this is unlikely to help comprehend the
ongoing processes.
The human society, Hobbes argued, in its primitive, natural form, is no more than a Brownian movement, where āeveryone is at war with everyone.ā
Such is the nature of man (no matter how disgusting it may be for
progressives), striving to satisfy the basic animal aspirations ā power,
sexual possession, gain. To avoid extermination of all by all, people
are forced to agree to a āsocial contractā: they give up unbridled
individual freedom in favor of rigid laws that ensure safety for all.
People can choose different forms of state power: monarchy, elite
republics, democracy. However, in any case, the state must provide for
the basic norms of human society: security and order.
For this purpose, such institutions as the prosecutorās office,
courts, and the police were established and improved. All other
functions of the state ā commercial regulations, the rights of
minorities, the privileges of estates, the distribution of income, the
protection of nature ā are secondary and unimportant in comparison with law and order.
The human society has been undergoing this process transforming from
the most primitive forms to those complex. At first, large clans arose,
headed by a leader or tribal council; then they united into
principalities; at the next stage, there was a transformation into
centralized monarchies. At the present stage, they transformed into
totalitarian states based on universalist ideologies (Communism, Nazism,
Fascism) and developed democracies.
This development has been uneven. Some people, like most of the Arab
and African countries, have not been able to completely abandon the
tribal system of relations, and as the result, the artificially created
states in those regions ended up being very fragile. Others, like
Europeans and their colonies in the New World, were able to build
democracies where people became full-fledged citizens protected by law,
regardless of class, gender, ethnic origin, and accumulated wealth.
However, before our eyes, history turned back unexpectedly and
rapidly. The very concept of law in the West has become ephemeral. On
paper, laws improved and became more complicated. In practice, the
judiciary system has become a hostage to progressive and globalist
mythology and a tool for undermining democratic institutions. Political
correctness and multiculturalism have paralyzed the police, judicial and
legal institutions. Then, with the help of even more aggressive and
zombifying ideologies, such as Critical Race Theory, Political
Identity, Cancel culture, Institutional Racism, Intersectionality,
āWhite Privilege/ Male Privilegeā etc., the neo-Marxist elite began to destroy not democracy only, but the states itself.
The stake was placed on deconstructive parties, marginal groups and
minorities living according to the laws of the patriarchal world. These
groups, invited from outside, as in Western Europe, or nurtured from
within, as with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement inside the African
American ghettos in the US or Islamist parties in Israel, with their
cult of power, became an open challenge to Western norms and culture.
All their activities have been aimed at destroying the state as such.
Everywhere in the Western world, like mushrooms after the rain, archaic
formations took root and grew, as if emerging from the prehistory of
mankind.
In the new surreal reality, āthe cream of societyā ā professors and
bohemians, lawyers and tycoons of high-tech companies, human rights
activists and the media ā supported and defended the rights of rioters,
drug dealers, traffickers, rapists and pedophiles. Militant feminists,
gender-neutralists and pundits have justified burqa, female circumcision
and vendettas.
Lawlessness has become the norm. Entire cities, regions and American
states have begun to turn into āno manās land,ā dark and sinister
lacunae, where there is neither law, nor order. Giant Muslim ghettos
such as Belgiumās Molenbeek, and metropolitan areas such as Malmƶ and
Marseille in Western Europe; Seattle, California, Chicago, and it seems
even New York in the USA; the Bedouin Negev and the Arab cities in
Israel ā many areas of these are ālost territoriesā today. The law of
the jungle rules here: gangs, clans, radical groups, militant preachers.
These āabscessesā expel rioters, rapists, psychopaths, lone Muslim
fanatics.
The police donāt stop them. The courts justify and protect
them. Public prosecutors initiate cases against those who dare to
challenge them.
Legislative assemblies have become hostages of marginal parties, that
under the veil of demagogy about human rights and democracy undermine
state national institutions. BLM and Antifa in the USA, the āMuslim
Brotherhoodā parties in Western Europe and Israel, dictate the norms and
rules of life, where the majority of the indigenous population is
assigned the role of obedient, unfortunate Eloi, trembling with fear at
nights before the bloodthirsty Morlocks. These parties and movements
receive double support: from the ruling elites and external players ā
Turkey, Iran, Qatar, Pakistan, etc. The very state, the main task of
which is to prevent chaos, instills the atmosphere of chaos,
arbitrariness, the cult of primitive and fanatical beliefs. All of this
is happening at a truly staggering pace.
This is the picture today and, no matter how gloomy it may be, one
should accept it as given, without giving in to vain illusions.
Democracy has become a fiction. The right parties, even having won
the elections, are forced either to follow the path of the radical left,
as Merkel did and Boris Johnson does today, or to oppose the full power
of the new kind of totalitarian system, including the highest
bureaucracy, the prosecutorās office, the academy and the media. As the
experience of Trump, Netanyahu, Matteo Salvini and Sebastian Kurtz has
shown, this is a doomed war. A ruler trying to save his country will be
bound hand and foot and then removed from power. The worldwide āChurch
of Progressivismā knows no mercy for heretics. And the fact that he will
be eliminated with the help of not poison or a dagger, but accusations
of sexual harassment in adolescence does not fundamentally change the
matter.
Thus, before our eyes, modern states are falling into the void, and
most Western countries have already passed the point of no return.
Destructive processes can be stopped only through military dictatorship,
which seems impossible, no matter how you feel about it. This means
that Western civilization (with the possible exception of Eastern
Europe) is rapidly returning to the Dark Ages, where people did not
live, but rather survived in the conditions of āthe war of all against all.ā Hostages
to spontaneous riots, maddened crowds, crazy leaders, Muslim caliphs in
the south and steppe hordes from the East, the recent subjects of the
Roman Empire were in perpetual motion, seeking shelter from the frenzy
taking place around.
This is what is happening now before our eyes. Families are leaving
San Francisco, Portland, New York, Chicago, London, Paris and Stockholm,
fleeing banditry, anarchy and violence and leaving behind a āno manās
landā inhabited by all sorts of rabble ā local and foreign. In the same
way, the Jews of Lod and Jaffa are fleeing from their homes, seeking
shelter from the Arab rioters.
The same what happened in Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Mali and
Somalia is now rapidly happening In Western countries : a state formally
remains on the map, but ceases to be a state as such. It breaks up into
ethnic and religious enclaves, zones of influence of clans and criminal
groups, strongholds of drug cartels and armed militias. In this bizarre
mosaic, the luxurious villas of local oligarchs with their own security
forces exist side by side with enclaves of poverty and banditry, and
sharia law ghettoes border with expensive boutiques, fine restaurants
and postmodern buildings, where high-ranking officials rant about
liberal values and the new world order.
In fact, the ānew orderā has already come to us. And its name is āthe
war of all against all.ā History returns to its starting point.
