Are we Europeans infected with socialism?
A quick glance at the UK is enough to say, sure! The cradle of liberalism is severely infected as the island provides a vivid example of how this dangerous cancer has crept into Europe and eaten its way into society, politics and the economy, as well as infiltrating cultural life. Its vectors of attack are classic: it systematically undermines the institution of private property and autonomy of the individual. It discredits the nuclear family and kills meritocratic values in education and also in cultural life meanwhile religion gets under fire too.
Success Of The Unsuitable
It is significant that in internal party selection processes, the unsuitable who have failed in real life, in the free economy, are disproportionately successful. This is adverse selection - the counterpoint of a healthy meritocratic process of a natural elite that is subject to the rules of a performance-stimulating cursus honorum.
The British Flippening
The figures from England now show that the state's share has outgrown the private sector. The unproductive part of the economy, if it is an economy at all, is thus sucking a rapidly growing share of its energy from the private economy, leading to considerable misallocations and driving the impoverishment of society. The symptoms are unmistakable: rising crime, impoverishment, in short: the volatility of abstract sphere of financial markets (credit pump) is spilling out onto the streets, where it is coagulating into an all-destabilizing social explosive.
Total Control Is The End-Game
In the end, there is hardly a place of retreat for the once sovereign citizen that is not ransacked by representatives of the paranoid bureaucratic state. Narrative sovereignty is everything, maintaining the illusion of a healthy progression of a society in the process of socialization is done through an ever more expensive propaganda machine (remember how US president Biden has been a vital, intelligent and visionary leader over 3.5 years (sic!) until he was replaced by another moron that now holds the flame of eternal wisdom?) that seeks to nip any form of real or virtual secession in the bud.
Dying Spirit Of Initiative
The growing proportion of the state is an expression of the all initiative suffocating bureaucratization of the broader parts of society. They are the vampiric sector of society, the front organizations of the political class that must keep towering figures from the competing private sector like Elon Musk in check in the media to avoid losing credibility even faster. As we are now entering an accelerated phase of state failure, the good news at the end: 20th century history teaches us that this form of social organization usually collapses faster than its innovators can build it. So let's remain hopeful and put our faith 100% in freedom and reason!
