Utopia, the imaginary ideal society, the Eden of collective and universal
yearning is at the root of Left and progressive thought. A utopian society is
the political and social goal of some leftist and progressive narratives. For
others the perfect society is itself the ideological means toward redemption.
No left or progressive intellectual narrative is impervious to some sort of
utopian ideal.
But for about half of the American people, utopia is nostalgic. The return of
the 'American Dream,' of being great once again – this is the idyllic dream
shared by supporters of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
The history of ideas has seen this transition before. The Jewish Cultural
Marxists of the 1930s were shocked by a similar development. Wilhelm Reich and
prominent members of the Frankfurt School were bewildered by the success of
National Socialism and Fascism. They couldn't figure out how was it possible
that the German and Italian workers favoured 'reactionary' fascism over a
'communist utopia.'
In Germany in the 1930s, as in America 2016, it was nostalgia and romanticism
that gave utopia meaning, the yearning for a national rootedness over a
'progressive' Shangri La.
The Jewish 'Left' quickly diagnosed what was wrong with the Germans, for
Wilhelm Reich it was German sexuality. He had the ridiculous idea that German
women being sexually suppressed was at the core of German inclination towards
authoritarianism. The Jewish psychoanalyst must have been convinced that
dildos were the key to a communist revolution. A few years later, Adorno
improved on Reich's paradigm, adding a few other criteria to the model of the
''authoritarian personality.'' Adorno, Reich and the rest of the cultural
Marxists were obviously deluded. Pornography, dildos and the sexual revolution
didn't mature into a political revolution. Quite the opposite, they
contributed to alienation, reification and suppression of pretty much every
human value.
The Germans and the National Socialists weren't too tolerant of Reich and the
the members of the Frankfurt School. Reich and the Frankfurt Schoolers had to
run for their lives. The Frankfurt Research Institute relocated at Columbia
University in New York City from where it devoted the next few years to the
destruction of the cohesiveness of the American people.
Unlike the German people who were quick to reject the Jewish revolutionary
progressive school, it took the American intelligentsia half a century to
detect the subversive role of the Institute that planted identity politics and
political correctness at the heart of America's academia, culture, media and
politics.
And now, in 2016, the Jewish progressive elite is making exactly the same
mistake the Frankfurt School made in the 1930s. The reaction of the likes of
Noam Chomsky and The Jewish Daily Forward to the American working people is
catastrophic and dangerous. Chomsky calls Trump voters ''White poor working
class''*, The Jewish Daily Forward calls them ''White supremacist,''
''losers'' and ''bullies.'' And what is the real the crime of all these
''White losers''? Simple, they are nostalgic.
It is noticeable that Jewish progressive institutions and left icons are
horrified by ''White people'' being 'nostalgic,' but why? Why are the Jews, a
people who are obsessed with their own past, so afraid of other people, say
'White' people, being nostalgic for their own past? Ready? Beware; I am about
to drop a bomb.
The progressive Jew grasps that the working class are nostalgic for a
pre-Jerusalem Dominated society; a time when American politics weren't
controlled by the likes of Saban, Soros, Goldman, Sachs and other global
capitalists who are isolated from production, manufacturing and farming. The
so called 'progressives' in Democracy Now, Real News, The Jewish Daily Forward
and the other Soros funded outlets can interpret the primaries. They are
fearful of being relegated to the ghetto.
But do they have reason? Has anyone mentioned expelling the Jews? Or
curtailing Jewish power? Not at all. The progressive fear of the so-called
'reactionary' is fuelled by a deep understanding that the American past was
indeed greater than the progressive present - the tyranny of correctness, the
identitarian dictatorship and, more than anything else, the lack of a future
that is attached to Mammonism - the relentless sick of Mammon for the sake of
Mammon.
On a further note, in historical retrospect, the entire work of the Cultural
Marxists, Wilhelm Reich, the Frankfurt school and their contemporary
progressive merchants can be trashed. Their agenda has become transparent,
they were committed to misleading society about the simple fact that true
utopia is nostalgic. They devoted themselves to concealing what is obvious and
undeniable: for the working people rootedness is true liberation and
romanticism is truly romantic.
*As usual it is hard to figure out whether Chomsky is misinformed or just
lying. A quick internet search reveals that Trump's ''voters are better off
economically compared with most Americans.'' (click here) Trump also enjoys a
growing number of educated people (click here). When Chomsky refers to 'wide
general agreement' you should always expect a lie. Being a linguist, Chomsky
has established a manner of non-committal spin culture -- 'general agreement'
doesn't have to correspond with truth.
