The Decay Of The Metaphysical Marxist

To Horse, Proletarian-

A recruiting poster for the Bolsheviks, who won control after the revolution in 1917, Leon Trotsky was responsible for building the Red Army.

Our current President and his benefactors have tried a bold experiment: repackaging the European Socialist/Marxist concepts of the Twentieth Century and presenting an image of change that was to transcend all the problems of the past and give America the Utopia that the Free Market and the Constitution could never deliver.

Karl Marx (1818-83) and Friedrich Engels (1820-95) wrote of Marxist theory as it applies to economics, politics, and philosophy. They described and coined the term Capitalism and its modes of production. This was more than enough to serve as a syllabus to condemn hundreds of millions of people to death in the Soviet Union and China.

Until the adoption of semi-market economies, the greatest successes within both these Communist countries was their means of population control.

Since Communism’s abject and repeated failures, there is still the ever present desire to try the experiment again. Unfortunately there seems to be that devious flaw in the human psyche that creates the personality from the huge genetic pool that desires to control people and to appropriate their wealth into the hands of leaders who can then redistribute that money to their whim. The less educated or more naive the people, the easier it is to spring the trap that is Marxism: an aware and analytical population is far less likely to be seduced with the failed political policies of the past.

Marx and Engels described their imperfect system well, but they neglected to describe an ‘aesthetic’ that would make the system seem attractive to a culture that was not struggling with feudalism or tyranny. Their vehicle was ‘class struggle’ and the effort to one day institute the concept of a ‘classless society’. The preliminary phase of a totalitarian regime or Socialism with its dictatorial methods needed to reform a culture until it was ready to accept the Utopian concept of Communism was nearly impossible to impose on a society with freedoms and indistinct class boundaries.

Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) Permanent Revolutionary

In a country economically backward, the proletariat can take power earlier than in countries where capitalism is advanced

Aristotle weighed in on the concept of revolution 2400 years ago, in Politics, Book V; it was surely a foundation for Engels and Marx:

Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.

The handler or those who manufactured the persona of Obama realized that America was ripe for a new method, a method code named “Hope and Change”. Trotsky described this situation in History Of The Russian Revolution, Pt. III Chapter 6.

The fundamental premise of a revolution is that the existing social structure is incapable of solving the urgent problems of development of the nation.

Of course this idea was nurtured by our Euro-Socialists and perhaps the mortgage debacle was precipitated by our own Progressive Socialists to set the stage for the Obama Phenomenon. Since George Soros, the man who broke The Bank of England appears to be the main benefactor of Obama.

Thus the promotion of a man with an undocumented past became the aesthetic for formulating a Euro-Socialist Revolution on the people of the United States: relying on support from the naive, gullible, radicals, Socialists and the disenfranchised, they made a swift move toward the presidency.

Trotsky realizing the shortcomings of Marx and Engels, wrote in Literature and Revolution (1924) a means of addressing the aesthetic that described a template for our modern day Progressive/Socialists.

Artistic creation is a changing and a transformation of reality in accordance with the peculiar laws of art.

Thus Socialist realism becomes a nebulous and changeable concept that allows and prescribes the creation of an Obama Persona as necessary foment to advance the Socialist Revolution in America. For the first time in perhaps the history of the world, a man with no discernible nor provable history or documentation is skillfully manipulated into the White House and Socialism achieves one of its greatest accomplishments.
