The Aims of the Great Reset Seem Familiar

21st century Progressives attempt to distance
themselves from Nazism's brand of socialism
with a different sort of self-loathing racism.

The left doesn't like to talk so much publicly about the "Great Reset" these days. Too many conservative journalists and pundits have cast the idea in sinister terms. In a recent issue of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis, Michael Rectenwald described the economic goal of the Great Reset as “‘capitalism with Chinese characteristics’—a two-tiered economy, with profitable monopolies and the state on top and socialism for the majority below.”

Klaus Schwab - proponent of rule by elites.

So why does this better form of socialism sound awfully familiar and vaguely unsettling. Think about the "progressive" obsession with race, particularly with the narrative that one particular race is evil and responsible for all the misery the world is going through. The dominant narrative obscures the fact that most of the so-called misery is being heavily promoted by a would-be single powerful party and, in fact, is being created by that party itself through massive overspending, manipulation of elections, generation of a steady stream of what can only be described as propaganda, and the crippling of free speech and a free press, and the attempted suppression of a particular religion in order to secure the dominance of a political sort of religion. 

So far, the movement toward the Great Reset is crippled by an ineffectual senile leader in the U.S.. Apparently puppet dear leaders aren't enough to fully trigger the tipping point that the left firmly believes will be the Great Reset. It's interesting how much the idea of the Great Reset mirrors the Anschluss of 1938. The same thing that happened to the Hitler's Brownshirts when they became troublesome, I'm pretty sure will happen to Antifa's foot soldiers once the goals of the movement are achieved and the authority of the leader class firmly established. The similarities between the two groups are surprisingly similar.

and the Democrat party.

For instance, the foot soldiers of this Great Reset at the ground level are anti-Israel. Sure they pretend it's not about hating the Jews at all, just hating the idea that they have a whole country of their own that is successful and peaceful among the chaos and terrorism that infests their neighbors. They find the Christian religion in particular to be in the way and anti-revolutionary. Sexual pervision pervades the Antifa foot soldiers, especially among the LGBTQ et al drivers. Racism is solidly ensconced in the protest groups (BLM) which claims to be anti-racism, but is anti-white in its rhetoric. Intimidation, wrecking and looting shops (see Krystalnacht), burning cities, and occupying places where there are people they don't like (or stores they do like).  Sound eerily familiar?

Progressivism does not concern itself with protecting the peace, but with appeasing the world's aggressors, expecting that when everything collapses (the Cloward Piven Strategy) we'll all be forced to accept the new two-tiered socialism as a matter of survival. Hey, whatever works is fine if you're a true believer in socialism. Lying is okay if it's for a good cause. Keeping key information from the masses is fine if it helps bring them into submission to the collective. Full of fine slogans and lofty ideals, the foot soldiers of this new revolution are under the impression that they will be rewarded by being elevated to positions among the elite leader class. It never seems to occur to them that the elite leader class plans for them to quietly join the proletariat and subject themselves to the whims of their betters. No dachas in the country for you my progressive friends.

If you haven't figured out yet who the progressive movement is similar to, think about who Marxism and its offspring socialist infatuations convinced hundred of millions of envious poverty-stricken people to accept. The most notorious of these repeated attempts at "a better kind of Marxism" (Hitler's description of Nazism) was the bloody Fascist experiment of the 30s and 40s, on the heels of which we got the expansion of Stalinism and Maoism, and dozens of other just as blood-thirsty versions of  communism around the world, resulting in close to a half billion death toll of the 20th century at the hands of that pernicious evil.

The Great Reset has been tried before. From the Roman conquests where the emperors decided everyone needed to have Rome to tell them what to do, to the brutal Lords of the Dark Ages, to the Medieval monarchs, to the colonial powers of the 1700s and 1800s, to the socialist tyrants of the 20th century, it's all been based on the idea that an elite privileged ruler class is needed to control the lives of ordinary working people. 

It's the system the devil argued for, then sparked a war over in Heaven itself. Through the ages, Satan has kept telling the same old lie to the gullible oppressed peoples of the world.  "You shall be like gods! The ends justify the means. You are better than the masses. You deserve special protected privileges. The proletariat needs to submit to the collective as governed and organized by you, the genetically superior class.  Thanks for that, Darwin, by the way. Trouble is not everyone gets to be the protected elite class. The drivers require mules. So most of us will be hitched to the wagon while the drivers get to crack the whips.

Jesus said the truth will make you free. Others have had the remarkable wisdom and courage to stand up to those self-proclaimed betters and say, "Give me liberty  or give me death!" Christianity has infected the culture of the world with the idea that no man or woman is by right of conquest or birth, a god-king or emperor, Great Mogul, Caesar or Caliph, Mikado, Pharaoh, Tsar or Pope for that matter. Christ even inspired Protestants to reject any god but Jehovah. It was inevitable once people were allowed to read scripture for themselves that they would reject Earthly gods.

As I often say, when faced with the inevitability of humanity destroying itself, "Christ's Second Coming is not an occupation." It's a rescue mission and the Marxists aren't going to be happy when they see the proletariat being taken from among them. And it's interesting that the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation pointed forward to a time in which, for the first time in history humanity has created for itself, the means to literally destroy itself in a lake of nuclear fire. 

The Chinese have a curse that goes, "May you live in interesting times." Well, boy howdy is it getting interesting? The world is dividing into two camps. Jesus described it as "the sheep and the goats."  And from my decades-long experience working among both the high and lowly of our culture, I have seen the sheep get gentler and the goats get, well goatier. Something's about to happen.
