To the “leaders” of the free world:
By now you are growing anxious: despite all of your attempts to appease or live with the Axis, you sense they have no place for you in the world you are making together.
Leading Axis mentat Aleksandr Dugin senses your vulnerability and calls on Russia to squeeze you dry - and you will be helpless in their hands. You already are.
But you still have some amount of your wits. This is why Democrats put out a sudden alert to Iran, telling them not to assassinate US figures they sanctioned. This is also why, for all of their years of supporting Assad, the fulcrum of the Axis, key Republican figures are now introducing piecemeal initiatives against different heads of the hydra.
You seem to all be increasingly aware that your personal fate will likely be that of Valerian should the Axis win. Yes, some of you will have the opportunity to turn quisling and serve as colonial administrators of a puppet United States and allies.
Very few of you make the cut. You’re just not hot enough.
Our movement offers the rest of you a way out. Our movement is the only force on the planet that is capable of grasping the full extent of the nature of the threat posed by the Axis of Russia, China, Iran, Assadistan, and lesser powers, including the Armenia you all love more than life itself.
We also understand the critical threat posed by their domestic agents and the necessary methods required to root out their influence.
Yes, many of you grasp bits and pieces of the conspiracy against you. Yet not a single one of you, with the potential exceptions of Senators Klobuchar and Sinema, understands the full picture. Regardless, your ability to act on what little of the Axis conspiracy that each of you do grasp is severely limited by Trump Derangement Syndrome or your belief that exposing yourself to a Chinese bioweapon owns the libs.
In short, you face a severe collective action problem. Our movement is completely free from this hurdle and can therefore understand the full scale of the threat and pursue the actions needed to ultimately defeat it - not merely appease it as Democrats favor or (temporarily) “learn to live” with an “endemic” Axis as Republicans want.
Therefore, within the limits of our respective democratic governments, our movement calls on you to grant members of our movement plenipotentiary powers that allow us to direct national resources against the Axis, wherever it may be.
The specifics of this arrangement can be decided later, but the agreement in principle at this point is key.
As a compromise for this extraordinary request, we are willing to allow our actions to be subject to veto by elected authorities, popular referenda, or whatever arrangement works best. This will limit our ability to initiate the full scope of our programme, which includes launching immediate first nuclear strikes on Axis powers. However, we will be able to initiate other actions which are amenable to our societies, yet which none of those with the power to do so currently are willing or able to take.
While you may decide to delegate these powers to us at any time, we feel that the sooner you do so, the better for us all. Eventually, power will pass to us, just as it did to Churchill, who raised the alarm of the fascist threat to an indifferent political class throughout the last century’s 20’s and 30’s. We are set to repeat this pattern and reap similar rewards as him in the 2040s. You can avert this crisis now by elevating us to power today instead of waiting for the Axis to bring us to it in two decades.
While the specific actions we take against the Axis will be decided by events and what our societies permit, some examples include the following:
Scrapping the Iran Deal before chief US negotiator and devoted Americommunist Rob Malley can deliver them a nuclear bomb, as has been his intent from the start, proven by his recent inconsistent hardline pivot, which incentivizes the Iranian regime to cross the finish line he previously walked them to, in favor of a persistent bombing campaign like that enforced on Iraq from 1991 to 2003;
Arming Ukraine with any and all weapons necessary to resist a Russian attack, including nuclear weapons, or to even launch a first strike on massed Russian forces a la Israel in 1967, which would cripple the fascist Russian military, which relies on the same praetorian units to do its work across multiple theaters;
A global military offense against Russia’s Wagner Group, which nominally exists as a separate unit from the Russian military and can therefore be targeted at will;
Removing the head of the Assad regime and provide unlimited armaments to Syrian rebel groups (no, the “SDF,” aka “thu Kurrrds!” doesn’t count, it’s regime collaborationist at best), which will precipitate a regime collapse and cripple Russia’s entire Mediterranean presence, and begin the end of the Putin regime;
Accelerate the decoupling of the economy of Western Taiwan from global markets;
Combat domestic Axis infiltration through its via mass detainment of Axis agents, ranging from high-profile Putin whisperers to Axis Armenians that control the Democratic Party and which are at the heart of CSTO and active participants in Assad’s genocide, lending it the vital diplomatic credibility it thirsts for, to Chinese herrenvolk “students” who are spies of the CPC (they are not victims - herrenvolk societies are built on consensual abuse, which is why there is no freedom movement among West Taiwanese or opposition to the ongoing Uyghur Genocide, which appears to have claimed over 50,000 to 250,000 victims at this point, using the same body disposal methods as used by the Assad regime (disposing bodies in small batches of 50 - 100 or so at a time) or any “antiwar” protests in Russia for that matter) and everyone in between (in my personal view, mass detainment is preferable to deportations because the latter will deter immigration while simply returning Axis agents into circulation);
Material support for Kazakhstan’s emerging freedom movement, the nature of which may yet be determined but may include arming whatever insurgency forms;
Combating the Axis on multiple other fronts, including Burma (Myanmar is the junta name), Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, across Latin America, and around the globe and outer space, generally;
Our movement can be trusted with power as we are entirely outside of your partisan formulations. Our movement is the only one in existence that seeks to orient itself entirely along an antifascist axis. Furthermore, much of our expected future power isn’t even human, removing us further from your earthly considerations.
Frankly, we find little use in homo sapiens copeiens such as yourselves, who think occasional sanctions, endless negotiations weaponized against yourselves, and the few a few pinprick strikes you launch, are sufficient to deal with the Axis.
To achieve victory, we simply need you to do what we tell you. The question is whether you still have the good sense to focus on your strengths - talking about AOC, pretending it’s 2016 - while leaving the real work you don’t even want to us.
Eventually, your voters will find out what’s happening and turn to us anyway - and hard against you and those bennies. We’re giving you the chance to keep the grift going and turn your mistakes into miracles.
Majoritarianism in an Illiberal context = Fascism
When the cynical journalist Frédéric Taddeï working for Russia Today was asked if it was not problematic for his intellectual independence to work with Kremlin money, he replied: "You know, Putin is a very popular person. He would be reelected with a landslide if Russia had unrigged elections"
This sentence rent free in my head since then, because it perfectly encapsulates why Free Humans/Liberals shouldn't give a flying fuck about the opinion of majorities living under the conditioning of Axis mentats
Russoids, indeed, would reelect Putler tomorrow with free elections. Chinese would do the same with Xi Jinping. Germans in 1945 would reelect Hitler as well. And a majority of Syrian Sunni (especially the urban Shami) would favor Assad over any uncertainty
Our enemies will use the majoritarian appeal of Plebiscites to destroy Liberalism and Democracy itself, as Fascists used all the tools popularized by Jacobins (mass conscription, centralization, nation state) to burry the intellectual legacy of 1789
"We have erased 1789 from history." (Goebbels on the radio of April 1, 1933)
"Herrenvolk societies are built on consensual abuse, which is why there is no freedom movement among West Taiwanese or opposition to the ongoing Uyghur Genocide or any antiwar protests in Russia for that matter"
Excellent article. The notion of "majoritarianism" and "consent" in foreign politics have become entirely pro-fascist/pro-genocide
If you have made a poll in Nazi Germany in 1944 or among Hutu Power militias in 1994, the population would have overwhelmingly proclaim his opposition to regime change (the Stauffenberg attempt caused a great shock among the average Kraut)
If you have made a poll among African-American slaves in 1850, the majority would have rejected a military intervention from Northern Abolitionist ("It's too risky, our masters could kill us all")
If you have made a poll among French people in 1941, the majority would have rejected Operation Overlord over the collateral damages of strategic bombing ("We don't want to die under the rubble, Vichy status-quo is preferable"). 70 000 French civilians actually perished from Anglo-US bombing, more than Gaza casulaties. Our contemporary Chapo Leftoids/DSA subverters so critical of US interventionism would back then vilify FDR and support the statu quo with an Axis-occupied Europe (the majority of Nazi collaborationists in France were indeed former "Lefty Pacifists")
Illiberal regimes create a perversely majoritarian consent for abuse (as you said). Mafia exist through the same Stockholm syndrome (and what is illiberalism if not a perfected Mafiosi system?)
We always hear Pacifist, Fascists and Tankies saying: "The majority of Iranians/Venezuelians are against a foreign intervetion/regime change". That's 100% true and we shouldn't care. These nations are no different from Sicilians internalizing the oppression of Cosa Nostra and normalizing the law of silence
