Communism is the idea that if the rich didn't exist, everyone would be rich.
White nationalism is the idea that if the Jews didn't exist, everyone would be smart and "ethnocentric" like the Jews.
Democracy has changed its self-contradictory myth several times, but it seems it has settled on the idea that if white men didn't exist, everyone would be a white man. If nobody knew math or showed up on time, bridges would stay up, but even more so.
Point 3: Plot of the State Enemy. All imperfection is due to [insert card-carrying villain].
That said, I particularly enjoyed the minor Democracy B-plot which was that if the Communists didn't exist, everyone would be rich and powerful and [[free]]. That one was too stupid for even Americans to buy into often or for long.
Fascism is the idea that if the high-status didn't exist, everyone would have high status.
"Fascism is the idea that if the high-status didn't exist, everyone would have high status."
ReplyDeleteIsn't that democrasy?
Democracy is a particular strain of Fascism. A feminine Fascism. The original State Enemy was the British, then it became slaveowners, then slaveowners and Hitler, and now white men in general.

I suppose Le Terreur is yet again a slightly different strain of Fascism. Hard to tell the difference between that and American-style Democracy without putting side-by-side, though. They get along splendidly.
