The Democrat dialectic of class and race By Charles A. Morse
The dialectic, the strategy of creating and fostering two opposite groups, and pitting them against each other, was originally coined by 19th century German philosopher Georg Hegel, and introduced into the political realm by Communist Manifesto author Karl Marx. The classical equation for the dialectic is the "thesis" versus the "antithesis" equals the "synthesis". This scheme is supposed to ultimately concentrate political power into the grip of a centralized, authoritarian, cabal of powerbrokers, who would be the "synthesis". The "synthesis" seeks to mould, and then dominate, the first group, or the "thesis", by the indoctrinating them with an emotionally driven victimology propaganda. This "thesis" is then primed to serve as cannon fodder against the "antithesis" which is, likewise, indoctrinated with the propaganda of guilt. The end goal is the attainment of power, by the "synthesis", after the first two groups are exhausted from the planned, prolonged, and sometimes bloody struggle. Chinese Communist dictator, Mao, referred to this strategy, used effectively by every modern authoritarian movement, as "Continuous Revolution". This describes the tactic of the leftwing branch of the Democrat party today. They plan to regain the power they lost in the election of 2000 by using ethnic minorities as cannon fodder. Their attitude, that of the classic dialectician, is victory at all cost, and the Republic, along with the fabric and cohesiveness of our society, be damned. The Presidential campaign of Al Gore was based on the dialectic of class and race. Gore pitted the "thesis" of the working poor against the "antithesis" of "the top one percent" stating, among other emotionally driven lies, that it would be only "the rich" that would benefit from a Republican tax cut. The message was that the Republicans were the party of the rich, and that Gore would represent the workingman. Never mind that the Democrats would confiscate a larger portion of the workingman's dollar in taxes, extracted directly out of his paycheck. Never mind that the Democrats would "transfer" the workingman's dollar into the pockets of increasing numbers of non productive, meddling bureaucrats. Never mind that the Democrat policy would shrink the economy and the availability of jobs. The sole concern of the dialectician is the emotionally driven, irrational, mobilizing politics of class conflict. Gore hoped to achieve victory on the back of the working poor who would be whipped up and duped by the propaganda and politics of envy and hate. The same dialectical strategy was employed by Gore, and is presently being employed by the radical left wing of the Democrat party, with regard to race. The Democrat congressmen who are spearheading this campaign of racism, are mostly card carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA is, essentially, the American Socialist Party, affiliated with the Socialist International. The tactic being employed by these Congressmen, and their fellow travelers and camp followers, is to mobilize minority voters, the "thesis", with the smear that the Republicans, the "antithesis", are racist and support racist policies. Hateful conspiracy theories are being promulgated in the minority community such as the lie that the Republicans, led by Governor Jeb Bush, conspired to suppress the minority vote in Florida, and, thus, steal the election. Attorney General designate John Ashcroft also must be portrayed, by the dialecticians, as a racist, on the flimsy evidence that he opposed the nomination of Missouri Judge Ronnie White, who happens to be Black, to the federal bench. In fact, anyone who opposes the authoritarian policy of the extreme left-wing of the Democrat party, whether it be affirmative action, welfare, forced bussing, bloated bureaucracies, or government run "social services", is to be attacked as a racist. These programs, the dialecticians inform us, are good for minorities in terms of giving them "access" to the American dream. The record, sadly, speaks for itself and it speaks volumes. The propaganda line is that Republicans, who, to varying degrees, oppose these freedom eroding programs, do so because they are racists. It's, of course, not possible to oppose the authoritarian agenda of the left, with their self-serving and self-perpetuating bureaucracies, for rational and humane reasons. It is, simply, unthinkable, and a damnable heresy, from a left perspective, to suggest that minorities are capable of a degree of self rule and would be better off without the tender ministrations of legions of bureaucrats. The volume of hate, propaganda, and group think, will be ratcheted up several decibels now that the left has lost political ground. The" thesis", which, in this case is minorities, have to remain "energized" by the fuel of hate and conspiracy, for the next election. The greatest catastrophe, from the left perspective, would be if the dialectical triangle is undone, the spell is broken, and the minority population prospers in the Bush years.
