It’s not “screaming to get out” anymore. It’s out. My latest in FrontPage:
Totalitarianism is just what it says it is: total. In a totalitarian state, the government’s power is absolutely unfettered and unlimited: it either controls the means of production or owns them outright. It controls what can be said and what cannot be. It asserts authority over every aspect of the citizen’s life. Most Americans complacently assume that totalitarianism could never come to the United States. But today it is advancing here at a rapid clip.
The totalitarian impulse is not coming today from the U.S. government, although that will quickly change if the Democrats win in November, but it is coming nonetheless, and coming quickly. Yesterday I spoke with a young person who works in an industry that has nothing whatsoever to do with politics; she told me that anyone in her circle who expressed support for Trump and/or skepticism about the agenda and goals of Black Lives Matter risked being fired, and not just losing the one job, but become unhirable. Supporting Trump means career ruin.
We knew that already, but its totalitarian implications have not been sufficiently highlighted. Just like in the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, in America today, only one point of view, only one political perspective, can be stated openly and freely in public without consequences.
In America today, armed police won’t pound on your door at 3AM and haul you away to a camp for dissenting, at least not yet (unless you’re Roger Stone or the filmmaker that the Obama administration blamed for the Benghazi massacre), but it is increasingly taken for granted in America that only Leftists may enunciate their views without fear of personal, professional, and/or even physical harm. The implications of that, and the consequences of that, are ominous.
Not long after the riots began, I decided to forget about it all for awhile and find a good movie. But when I went to Amazon to find one, the top, most prominent row was a series of racial grievance propaganda films designed to reinforce the Left’s claim that America, the freest and most egalitarian society the world has ever known, is an inveterately and criminally racist entity. Totalitarian, it means total control, as in, you must be beaten over the head with the Left’s ideology even when you want to watch a lousy movie.
Did Amazon care that some of its customers might think that highlighting such material would do more harm than good, and intensify, rather than heal, racial strife? Obviously not. It was demanding that the totality of its audience be Leftists who had contempt for America and a healthy appreciation for Marxism.
With sports it’s the same. Did baseball fans of the past know or care whether Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays was a Republican or a Democrat? Baseball fans certainly know the politics of the players now, and surprise, they’re all hard-Leftists (or carefully and prudently silent). The 2020 baseball season started late and continues to limp along, but I am not paying attention for the first time since 1970. At MLB.com there is now a section headed “Social Justice,” providing “resources” for “understanding allyship, anti-racism and advocacy.” It is filled with Marxist agitprop from the likes of Angela Davis and Ta-Nehisi Coates, as well as guidelines on “how to have conversations about race” and the like.
What does any of that have to do with baseball? Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. But it is there because it has to be. Totalitarianism, remember – it’s total. The Left now allows for no aspect of life to be free from politicization and propagandizing.
For Amazon, MLB, and the multitudes of other businesses that are now retailing Black Lives Matter propaganda, this is also a form of paying protection. Display your wokeness, and the baseball stadiums won’t go up in flames. Recently a friend told me that every house in his neighborhood had put Black Lives Matter signs on the lawn, at the behest of young activists who knocked on the door. He told me that when they got around to knocking on his door, he would put up a sign, too, because he understood the hint of menace behind the request. You got a nice house, mister. Would be a shame if it turned out to be owned by a “racist.”
The BLM signs on the lawn are the modern American equivalent of Chinese having photos of Xi or Germans during the Nazi days having copies of Mein Kampf prominently displayed in their homes: they may have never read the book, they may have hated the dictator, but it was a prudent thing to have if one cared about one’s safety and didn’t want the boot on one’s face, forever.
That’s totalitarianism, and it’s here. There is no escaping from the Left’s propaganda today. The advance of totalitarianism in America has been swift and, indeed, total. There is nowhere one can go, nothing one can do, that will not require one to pay obeisance to the Left’s new gods. “Imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.” That’s how George Orwell in 1984 described living in a totalitarian regime. Up until recently, I thought that meant that totalitarian states always hung the threat of violence over their citizens’ heads. But now that totalitarianism is coming to the United States, I see that it involves much more than that. There are all sorts of ways to apply a boot to a face.
But one aspect of the old totalitarian regimes is conspicuously lacking, at least thus far: the charismatic leader. There is no personality cult on the Left, no secular god, no Xi, no Stalin, no Hitler. We have the totalitarianism, we just don’t have the Führer. Joe Biden certainly isn’t it; he is just a placeholder. But given the trajectory of totalitarian movements, one is likely to emerge, a rough beast who even now may be slouching toward Portland to be born.
Wellington says
Old fashion liberalism (with which I had some disagreements, mostly on economic matters) was still clear headed, patriotic, into the rule of law, and could recognize pure evil when it came across it. Unfortunately, old fashion liberalism has morphed into modern liberalism, if you prefer to call it Leftism then fine, and this morphing has produced the newest totalitarian ideology. And every totalitarian ideology is an enemy of liberty, whether Marxism, Nazism, Islam or now Leftism.
To the credit of old fashion conservatism, an equally sane ideology as with old fashion liberalism, it extirpated from its ranks, beginning in the 1950’s, Far Right elements like the John Birch Society as well as your standard Far Right rogues like the KKK and the Aryan Nation. In essence, conservatism from a half century ago or more has remained the same—and I might note, modern conservatism is very much in line with liberalism of some two hundred plus years ago and which equally wanted less government, not more; the classic Jefferson/Hamilton divide in American history illustrates this quite well.
So, in summary, liberalism has been bastardized by being taken over more or less by the Far Left. But conservatism has not been bastardized by being taken over by the Far Right, though the Far Left, which sadly now includes much of the media, academia and formerly old fashion liberal parties like the Democratic Party here in America, would have you believe that modern conservatism is Far Right, but which is a lie, much as Islam screaming “Islamophobia” is a gigantic lie as well. Think one word here above all, to wit, projection.
The demise of old fashion liberalism is the greatest tragedy in Western history in our era. Also tragic of course is the whitewashing of Islam, simply a horrible excuse for a religion, and the ever increasing lack of guts by many conservatives who have the correct ideas overall but who have lost their collective balls.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“…formerly old fashion liberal parties like the Democratic Party here in America, would have you believe that modern conservatism is Far Right…”
100% true.
Because the Democratic Party has moved *hard* left, even old fashion liberals could be labeled Far Right, depending upon their positions on certain issues.
Politically, I’m really one of those rare Independent “centrists” – very pesky to both current Democrats and some Republicans (mostly RINOs Mitt Romney, etc.) – and I strongly support Pres. Trump.
Even though I have supported old-fashioned JFK type liberals in the past, I would now, erroneously, be labeled Far Right by both Democrats and RINOs…

Ray Jarman says
Well stated Wellington and when I think liberalism, I think of John Stewart Mills and even John Locke. Even Thomas Hobbes’ ideas of limited government’s raison d’être is to protect each of us from one another. He also warned that, “…speech can also be abused in four dangerous ways — to record our thought erroneously, to deceive others with metaphorical language, to speak insincerely, and to cause others grief.” The left employs all four, especially in our children’s schools. I have stated before and I still believe that every child should be required to read Solzhenitsyn’s “The Gulag Archipelago” in order to understand the horrors Communism and its destruction on mankind. Only Islam is worse than Communism.
Kepha says
Good points, as usual. But, what else can be expected of ideologies rooted in Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who wanted to compel people to be free (mother of oxymorons, or what?) and Marx, Engels, and Lenin, who believed they were leading society into a vast chemistry experiment?
The whitewashing of Islam, since you mention it, is a clear case of Big Brother’s “Ignorance is Strength” (from _1984_) in action. Generations of Christian and Jewish religious liberalism have led the American public to believe that “everybody basically wants the same thing” and that it’s a waste of time to go to the actual textual sources of various traditions. That is why, in the light of contemporary campus mores, it’s permissible to see any criticism of Islam as “racist”.
Wellington says
Thanks for your reply, Kepha.
Oh yeah, wherever Rousseau’s ideas are appreciated and respected, definitely watch out. I prefer far more sober 18th-century minds like those of Jefferson and Franklin.
And the whitewashing of Islam is the whitewashing of iniquity. Though because Islam magnificently hides behind a religious veil, it has a major advantage over most every other aberrant totalitarian ideology. But you already know this.
Hope you and yours are doing well. Take care, Kepha.

The various sub groups of disaffected rioting looters that democrats have no problem with want the entire system torn down. The last thing they want is government totalitarianism. They want to rule themselves their way and that way leads to chaos. This point is completely lost within the crat political class. The democrats think these people are their bffs but they are not. They want the crat pols dead too but crat fools actually think they are on their side. An accomplished novelist would have a hard time coming up with a story line such as this.
As these movements progress all hell will begin to break loose and the crat pols with be stuck in a no mans land with no where to run and no place to hide. Both sides will be on the hunt for them. The crats have already lost control of these various movements so it will only get more interesting as time goes by. United we stand.
Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Wellington says
Rather akin to the Marxism/anarchism split from the late 19th century.
Those on the Far Left and Far Right will eventually engage in going after one another WITHIN their group. A classic example other than one I just mentioned above is Hitler who, once he came to power in January of 1933, abolished all political parties except the Nazi party, even the Nationalist Party led by Alfred Hugenberg and which agreed with the Nazi Party on about 90% of issues.
One common feature of totalitarian ideologies is that they produce control freaks who can tolerate zero differences among themselves even though they agree on a vast majority of matters. Stalin having Trotsky axed (literally and figuratively) serves as another example of this truth.
Everyone of sense and knowledge should despise the Far Left and the Far Right. Both are made up of malevolent, deficient personalities who cannot tolerate any disagreement. All such personalities are dysfunctional, ruthless and trouble overall. Some are very clever but nonetheless still evil. Hitler comes to mind. So does Stalin. Mohammed too.
tgusa says
You are absolutely correct. All my life people have made the mistake of profiling me because I agreed with or supported this or that only to find out through conversation that there isnt a box in the world that would fit me. As you can probably guess I get a lot of people staring at me with a jaw dropping surprised and confused look on their faces. I can almost hear their thoughts circling their brain, just what and who are you?
I’m me and I think for myself, always have. I don’t mimic pop culture, I don’t dress the way others are at the moment nor act in a way that is in vogue at the time. I am secure in my beliefs so people can converse with me as I will listen but they should never assume that they can change my mind especially through pressure threats or intimidation.

………………..
This is all true. With basketball, a coach recently said that he would protect any of his players who wanted to “take a knee” during the National Anthem. Note that he said *nothing* about protecting those patriots who wanted to stand with their hands over their hearts–I don’t think that this was a simple omission.
Then, a player for the Dallas Soccer team Dallas FC apologized for fans booing players turning on the National Anthem:
“Fans boo players kneeling for national anthem before MLS game in Dallas”
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/aug/13/dallas-
“There was a smattering of boos when players from FC Dallas and Nashville SC collectively took a knee during the national anthem before their MLS game on Wednesday night in Frisco, Texas.
Dallas defender Reggie Cannon said he was disgusted by the boos at Toyota Stadium when players and officials knelt to call attention to racial injustice. He said teammate Ryan Hollingshead turned to him afterward and said he was sorry.”
Of course, none of this is about “racial injustice”–but we are certainly seeing a great deal of aggressive thuggery and cringing appeasement.
Wellington says
The kneeling garbage, gravenimage, is indicative of a kind of mindlessness masquerading as something noble. Anyone, I mean ANYONE, taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem is deficient in one way or another and has certainly lost me.
Political correctness is killing sports in America. I am done with the NFL as I am with other professional sports leagues. Even the NHL and NASCAR have caved.
It is my fervent wish that professional sports be destroyed in America and then, after a hopefully short Reign of Terror, new leagues will be formed that are not pc/mc. In any case, I am done with all professional sports, college sports it seems too. You know, as awful as 1968 was, 2020 is shaping up as an even worse year.
gravenimage says
This is just sickening, Wellington.
I remember the first Giants game in San Francisco after 9/11–even in this generally left-wing bastion, everyone stood for the National Anthem, and many fans were crying. They played “America the Beautiful” afterwards, and fans cheered at the end of it, and most remained standing until play actually started.
That this was not even twenty years ago is hard to get my head around…
tgusa says
Thank God that all the young men over the centuries who gave their last full measure of devotion sacrificing their lives for the nation and people under its flag did not take a knee. Those millionaire ungrateful skunks and their bosses are not fit to shine their boots nor clean latrines for them. I say get out, go play your games in another country but be advised that you will not be taking a knee there however you may be on the run permanently to protect your own butt’s from the danger that lurks in the real world.
That trash use and abuse the safety security and prosperity that they have been fortunate enough to receive playing kids games under the flag of the USA. I used to be a big sports fan but I quit watching them long before it became fashionable. I haven’t missed those disgraces to the nation and have enjoyed and accomplished so much more without them. A waste of precious time is what it was.
Honestly, if they were on fire on the sidewalk near me I would just walk on by.

This is everywhere — from our Amazon Prime choices to Disney+ to our public libraries. You can’t physically enter a library in my state of Maskachusetts OR WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!! Instead you have to order your books over the phone and pick them up outside the door like that scene in the old “Nun’s Story” movie where Audrey Hepburn is leaving the convent. But there’s the list of racial grievance publications right up front before you even get to make your own choice. All I want is my Brother Cadfael mysteries so I can forget about WuFlu and the Senile Old Man in the Basement for a few hours.
4 years ago one woman in our town had the TRUMP sign stolen off her lawn a record 8 times. It is unbelievably tempting as I see those BLM signs sprouting like weeds to do a little neighborhood lawn maintenance late at night, but once mustn’t stoop to their level, I suppose…
A friend of mine went to a small Trump rally the other day, which was heckled by a BLM contingent. She’s not very big but she owns two huge german shepherds. Apparently the BLM-ers weren’t their usual cocky selves when she waded into their crowd with her Trump bandana-wearing doggies in tow!

I once had netflix and the most popular titles were all non prog retro stuff. So they flushed them all down the drain. Over time I have built a large library of dvds that would last a lifetime in the wilderness as long as I have a working player a tv or monitor and an electrical outlet.
There is so much good content out there, a mega library of it, that the only thing the new unwatchable stuff is doing is producing unneeded green house gasses. One would think that responsible and caring progs would just stop, for the planet.

It is also unclear whether Siddig himself is Muslim, although he is of Muslim heritage.

The masks are off: “Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.” -George Orwell

The Democrats will have to decide whether they will open the Pandora’s box of Marxist revolution or whether they will oppose it. So far they are sitting on the fence and pretending to agree with revolution.
They will be unable to stop it if they continue down that road. The forces seen in Seattle and Portland will spread to other cities. Once the revolutionaries seize weapons, they will be hard to stop without massive bloodshed and mass detentions.
The Dems will unleash those demons and then be forced to declare a general marshal law in order to restrain them.
WILL IT BE WORTH IT? Dithering, dottery Biden will not be up for the challenge of a general national uprising.
mortimer says
Robert Spencer correctly asks “What does any of that (Marxist propaganda) have to do with baseball? Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. But it is there because it has to be. Totalitarianism, remember – it’s total. The Left now allows for no aspect of life to be free from politicization and propagandizing.”
Hitler achieved his takeover of Germany through ‘Gleichschaltung’ … namely the ‘smoothing over’ of all dissident opinions and the imposition of Nazi ideology in all organizations. He did so by creating new Nazi versions of everything. Anyone expressing dissent was removed from the organizations and sent to labor battalions in which they perished.
These same political plans are widespread among Millenials of whom about one third are now neo-Marxists.

There is no connection between Liberalism and Leftism other than Leftists may have been former Liberals at one time, yet everyone (Leftists and Conservatives) continue to mistakenly refer to current Leftists as “Liberals” which is irritating.
I also believe there is no connection between past/present Conservatives with Nazism which is totalitarianism. There is logically NO Big Government and NO Socialism in Conservative ideology. Nationalism does not equal Nazism no matter how much Leftist Commies like to think it does.
There are totalitarian Nationalistic ideologies in Communist China, Cuba and North Korea. KKK or White Supremacist Aryan Nation who revere Hitler want totalitarian Socialism which is Nazism. No thank you.
Nationalistic Socialism vs. Internationalist Socialism is perhaps only a difference of degree among the Nazi-Commie Totalitarian Socialists who impose censorship, loss of liberty and deny basic human rights. Secondarily, Nazi-Commies are also obsessed w/ identity politics (racism).
Inside every LEFTIST there’s a totalitarian screaming to get OUT—TRUE.
If conservatives are considered to be on the “RIGHT WING” …I just can’t fathom any equally extremist totalitarian monster inside every American who identifies as a Conservative since conservatives ONLY want SMALL Government and preservation of individual human rights per our Constitution.
The right/left paradigm may be convenient for symmetry but not for reality since the “extremes” that we are experiencing now are all coming from the LEFT…AnarchoCommunists or AnarchoFascists (aka, the Fascist Anti-Fascists) or the much smaller (and inconsequential) group of WHITE SUPREMACIST Nazis. The latter are no different from the current Anarcho-Communist/Fascists who favor BLACK SUPREMACY over white people (let’s call them Leftist Nazis)—those Blacks (and Whites) who demean White people and make them bow down and kiss the feet of Black people or make everyone “kneel” to pay homage to BLM…or else they will be shunned, cancelled or sent to indoctrination camps to check their “white privilege.”
Totalitarianism is always for dictatorial BIG GOVERNMENT and loss of Liberty and it ALWAYS emanates from the proverbial “LEFT” economic socialistic ideology.

Nazis were eco fascists. Nazis enacted gun control. Nazis were anti free speech. Nazis were racialists. Nazis took other peoples property and possessions and redistributed them among themselves. Nazis were migrants who sought to displace others. Nazis used forced and slave labor. Nazis were extremely intolerant of anything not nazi. Nazis were anti freedom of thought anti freedom of association and viciously attacked anyone who would not conform to their ideals.
Now who does that sound like in America? The pre civil war democrat party really has not changed they have just diversified in who they demand to control. Its no longer just blacks that they want to control it is everybody. That is why they call themselves progressives. Progressively expanding their totalitarian control to include everyone.

Those who warn against the dangers of a violent, radical ideology passed down from the seventh century with no noticeable change, are kicked off social media platforms and forbidden to earn money on them.
Recently Democrats have implemented totalitarianism in areas that they control. They used the excuses of Covid-19 and George Floyd’s death, but those were just events that occurred at a time that was convenient for them. Democrats have fully accepted the violence perpetrated in our cities by violent criminals, with the excuse that “Black Lives Matter.” I see through it all, and despair at the thought that 98% of Americans are ignorant of what’s going on. Knowledge may be power, but it leads to frustration when the majority of the people are too stupid to share that knowledge.
