One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
The Twilight of the Gods for the European Union has started
with Brexit.
Those that remove God from His throne never pull down the throne.
That throne that no one sits upon becomes like Tolkien's One Ring and there
will be those mortals that seek to sit upon it to impose law and judgement, but
never mercy.
The idea of free trade between the European nations was a
noble idea but as it has been said the road to hell is paved with good
intentions. It was not enough to dabble in the economics of free trade. The
management of production followed. One nation may fish and another nation must
restrict their fishing. That still wasn't enough. Eventually the bureaucrats
decided that the new European man must be produced.
Leon Trotsky wrote in 1924 in Literature and Revolution
about the "Communist man", "man of the future"
Man will make it his purpose to master his own feelings, to raise his instincts to the heights of consciousness, to make them transparent, to extend the wires of his will into hidden recesses, and thereby to raise himself to a new plane, to create a higher social biologic type, or, if you please, a superman.
That dream, or nightmare is far older than Trotsky. One may
judge it by the results that it produced in the French Revolution, the Paris
Commune, Germany, and the former Soviet Union.
Lest Americans become too smug we should remember we have
our own problems. A city that is all of 68 square miles in size imposes its'
will on a nation of 3.79 million square miles. Ruled by bureaucrats that seek
to create the new American man.
To create the new superman you must first wipe away history
and culture. Once that is done then the new superman is unable to defend
himself in the battle over ideas. The new superman becomes the bureaucrat.
Conscience becomes whim and individual freedom is lost.
After
the Brexit vote some in Britain said that some decisions are too important to
be left to the voters. That idea eventually leads to any decision is too
important to be left to the voters. I suppose that some men are more super than
other men after all.
