Globalism, Marxism and a Will to Power
“One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them”…
— Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring
In The Self-Destruction of the West, the ideological and philosophical ideas that were leading to the downfall of Western Civilisation were briefly explored.
The decoupling of the Thomism triadic physical and metaphysical relationships that existed between conscious Man, the natural world and God.
The deconstruction of the triadic of Judeo-Christian Theology, Ancient Greek Philosophy and Roman Law & Governance.
The denial of the Metaxy of Human Being.
“The death of the spirit is the price of progress”…
— Eric Voegelin
A growing ignorance of Duns Scotus’s Univocity of Being and Peirce’s Categories and Modes of Being that reflected the intrinsic relationship between the Contingent Being of Man (Created) and the Necessary Being of God (Creator).
Instead, the arrival of Modernity and Post-Modernity reflected the increasing embracement of the Theology of Marxism, Modern Gnosticism and the Primacy of Man.
A Post-Truth World anchored in Nietzschean Perspectivism where apparently the end justifies the means.
A Modern Sophism where the only thing that increasingly mattered was a Nietzschean Will to Power.
The emergence of a Marxist power-directed system of thought.
The allure and pursuit of the Ring.
Why would Western leaders bet our Civilisation on untested theories that heritage, religion, culture, and language were irrelevant to social cohesion and unity?

“The French Revolution gave rise to ideas which led beyond the ideas of the entire old world order. The revolutionary movement which began in 1789… gave rise to the communist idea which Babeuf’s friend Buonarroti re-introduced in France after the Revolution of 1830. This idea, consistently developed, is the idea of the new world order”…
— Karl Marx
“Following a backlash against socialist governments in the aftermath of World War II, it was suggested that the Fabians drop the word “socialist” and instead substitute the term “economic democracy.” This term has been used repeatedly throughout the latter part of the 20th century by gradualist socialists and the new left. It was soon after the turn of the century, in fact, that the socialists pulled their most brilliant coup. This occurred when they appropriated the label “liberal.” They were well aware that classical liberal principles were opposite to theirs, but that made the theft even more exciting”…
