The scamdemic disabused me of collectivism as it quickly morphed into medical authoritarianism strangely using something as well-meaning as "public health" to dictate totalitarian controls, hence eliminating the notion of bodily autonomy.
In a way, it doesn't matter whether this occurred because socialist organizations were co-opted as it revealed the nature of how too much centralized power can easily become an authoritarian hellhole, especially when it's managed by nincompoop bureaucrats who sycophantically follow the "ideologue du jour."
My position now is that any social movement, political program or revolutionary ethos can be manipulated, essentially turned into its opposite by agents of the ruling class. I do see left and right as bourgeois constructs, that is, their purpose is to protect class rule not overthrow it.
With the Covid scam, the left - liberals and progressives of course but also including seemingly every kind of socialist, anarchist, communist either forgot or never really embraced the basic notion of Marx that media, the academy, the medical-Pharma complex, the sciences are all class institutions, that is, they serve the interests of the ruling class. Therefore, someone seeking liberation from class rule should not trust anything they say. But that didn't happen. Those who did see thru the scam have been pushed to the right where, essentially, capitalism = freedom. The ruling class has us coming and going.
The leadership of every movement, left right and centre has been high jacked since their inception. Sheep are led astray by wolves in sheep's clothes. But within every movement there's people of conscience who won't toe the line. Myself being one, a far leftist who has been watching with horror the compromise of the left, particularly during Covid. The establishment check mated us, put us up against a wall we seem unable to break, a brilliant strategy (promote culture war to avoid class war), I bow I admiration. But please, avoid generalisations and aphorisms, there's a lot of people out there who were just deceived and need guidance, only unity will save us all, so let's focus on the common ground.
RE: But please, avoid generalisations and aphorisms, there's a lot of people out there who were just deceived and need guidance, only unity will save us all, so let's focus on the common ground.
Your comment is self-contradictory. If you want to find common ground it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to start off with hypocrisy.
Communism, like it's putative opposite, fascism, is a vehicle for brute authoritarianism. Both ideologies are repulsive ... if not in theory, certainly in practice. It seems to me, that a big difference between these two rackets, is that communism is wedded to hypocrisy, while fascism only flirts with it.
Bob Marley's "we're sick and tired of your ism-schism game" is always applicable, as is this poem:
It took me a while to admit how troubling the left can be. The idealism is deceptive and the old anticapitalism was formative for me, but the practice is often dreadful. Hauling myself out of the mental cul-de-sac took some effort. Looking forward to reading your dissection. Thanks.
Excellente. I’m 65 and cottoned onto this in my teens. I remember looking up the manifestos of the neo-Nazi groups back in the eighties and they all had socialist manifestos. That’s not to criticise socialism itself but I have always said, including on here when I joined not long ago, left and right are two cheeks of the same arse, or I call it the Punch and Judy show. I have encountered so much evidence in the years since, especially through my work, including promotion of pederasty and paedophilia. And as I have said on substack just days ago regarding, for example, mass migration, the left campaign for it and the right wave them in. The SWP I discovered a few years ago, is deeply entwined with the establishment Labour Party. I am about to launch my own substack Paul Cudenac and would like to contact you with a view to interviewing you. Looking forward to your essay. I also believe I have a path out of this prison, one that is both radical and also surprisingly sensible and simple.
This would be unfair to a minority who did see and oppose the great scam. But I guess those wouldn't be offended. The rest have a lot to learn about their leadership and much of their ideas. In Greece (like elsewhere) most prominent leftists and anarchists often went harder on the push for totalitarianism than the globalist right wing government, and convinced many people to follow along.
Now this is definitely something I'm also looking forward to. You're already articulating some of my own perceptions of the so-called 'socialist' or 'communist' movements. My personal take is a kind of counter-subversion or even counter-espionage approach. We need to be more open about how the 'cognitive infiltration' of the 'resistance' has been a prime method of the cabal for much longer than most people realise. It's a part of the 'controlled opposition' strategy of course.
Likewise, we mustn't allow ourselves to get drawn into one side or the other. The woke vs. anti-woke is one example IMO - we need to recognise this for the manufactured divide and distract and conquer strategy it really is (with innocent minority groups (the 'other') being used/abused for that purpose) and not fall for it - rather, call out the cognitive infiltration for the manufactured psyop it really is. The cabal have always controlled both sides, just as the bankers fund both sides in all the wars they exhort their gilded puppets to instigate on their behalf.
Marx (and the -ism he created) is a prime example - Marx in my view (and I'm not the only one) was an agent of the very criminocrats (bankers & industrialists) that socialists should be attacking. The fact that 'conspiracy theorists' have been associated with the far right is also telling, designed to prevent 'socialists' from seeing who the real enemy really is - conspiracy theories should, rather, be the province of genuine socialists because it's the far right themselves who do the conspiring! It seems clear to me that Marx's entire objective was to infiltrate, divide and destroy the burgeoning genuine socialism that arose in particular in the first half of the nineteenth century (Proudhon being the most obvious name that springs to mind). This genuine socialist movement was a genuine threat to the Establishment, so it needed to be dealt with. But given they could never make 'resistance' go away because of the way they treat people, the better option is to 'capture' it and then 'misdirect' it. Thus Marx exhorted the 'working class' to attack the 'bourgeoisie' i.e. the 'middle class' - both of whom did have, and should have, a symbiotic relationship (from a post-Norman colonialist point of view we the native British, are a combination of 'working' and 'middle' class - the criminocracy are the occupying force). Marxism also attacks the aristocracy, which is likewise an enemy of the bankers & industrialists, obstructing their objective of corporatocracy.
Unfortunately, Marx was extremely successful and so today you end up with pretty much every 'socialist' thinking you have to take Marx seriously. But Marx never said anything about the true criminocracy, which is telling. Did he ever even mention the name 'Rothschild'? I don't think so.
I also find it deeply ironic when defenders of Marxism try and say that the 'Bolsheviks' were an 'imperfect' expression of Marxism - no, they were exactly what a Marxist state looks like - there is nothing socialist about a Marxist state - it's simply fascism pretending to be socialism.
You're right about the SWP - a combination of useful idiots and cognitive infiltrators. Lots of juicy spy stuff there lol.
I'll stop rambling now, sorry. But I am looking forward to your little series - in a counter-subversive way we need to call it the cabal's cognitive infiltration a lot more, their capture of the 'truth movement' and the diversions they force people into. The wrong causes, shall we say.
Perhaps to end with a version of what Lenin purportedly said: 'the best way to defeat the opposition is to control it yourself'. Marxism in a nutshell...
Hijacking protests is not a new tactic of those damn commies, they did the same during and after the legendary may 1968 in France. For example, union and left wing party leaders negotiating concessions with the gaullist government, instead of going foward with the revolution.
As the real rebel Jaime Semprún tell us (I really loved that guy, thank you Cudenec):
«This was at least understood by the Minister of the Interior during the period of the reestablishment of order when he said, sarcastically enough: “All of these young leftists will end up as deputies or mainstream journalists”»
Catastrophism, Disaster Management and Sustainable Submission
The academicians were and are another ilk, with a façade of radicalism writing their turgid hot air for imbeciles who think that are something. Especially those philosophers we know today as postmodernists, all charlatans and traitors and should be exposed and mocked for what they are. Indeed anyone with reformistic intentions should be shunned if discovered in a milieu with real intentions for radical change.
There are a dramatic gap (or abyss sometimes) between "ideas" or "ideologys" and what happens in the "real world", thanks to the "interpretations" of the ideas and ideologys: there it cames the honesty, and the shadows of especific persons, and cluster of persons! each one with their tics and manias and psicosis, fears, hates and projections... and start "the mess" of political reality. Not in vane, as symbol, ideas are related to "air" and "wind", natural invisible and powerful forces, shaping the concrete material world, but without a body. These forces have not a clear perceptual "form". Ideology when applied to social organization, depends dramatically of the inner values (moral, ethical, good faith, humility, strength, and so on) of the actors. But as you said, it is clear in their postulations, that collectivist ideologys are based in something so tricky and twist as "the collective", instead of concrete individual persons as the center ... a highway for domination then, and with the fuel of bad faith we arrive to where we humans generally arrived with the shield and sword of "revolutionary ideas" ...
Socialism, has today a bad aura because some shades of collectivism are there in their social matter ... but I still have some faith that the humanistic side revealed in the ethics of socialism are of value today, and I will not mix it with collectivistic deliriums, as now is the alleged "ideological" line, excuse, shield and missile of the globalists in their blatant attack to every aspect of humanity and what in a way, defines us as humans.
"Notions" instead of "ideologys", even when vague, have another multidimensional cohesion, articulating intuitively the best values and impulses to develop an honest social integral system, correcting ways, learning ... Perhaps we don´t need more fixed ideas, but more clear horizons where to go, in the inner realm and the expression of this realm outside, in the world...
The left lack proper distrust of authority that's "on their side" just like the right does.
I tend to see them as both as limited as religious folk who also follow a "leader".

Communism has become the mirage of technofascism, and the latter is the cemetery of materialist capitalism, where necrophagy by the transhuman over the biological takes place.
You should look up Infrared. He does livestreams and is a communist with similar views about the falsity of a mainstream left which does little but sheepdog people to vote for liberals.
Another good example of deceptive behauvior of Trotkysts partys: the leader of PO (Partido Obrero) in Argentina (a Jewish woman, by the way) called upon a "massive program of vaccination" during the Covid show.

Thanks for this, Paul.
I feel similarly about the left in terms of having collaborated and marched with many leftist groups and seen the positive and the negatives.
It took me a while to admit how troubling the left can be. The idealism is deceptive and the old anticapitalism was formative for me, but the practice is often dreadful. Hauling myself out of the mental cul-de-sac took some effort. Looking forward to reading your dissection. Thanks.
"Gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country." Desperately sad notion. Nowhere to run. Forceful work, Paul.
Thats interesting about the hijacking of antiglobalization protest steering committees. Same thing happened in ottawa.
