Podcast: Analysing Karl — on The Richie Allen Show
'Human beings are born dissatisfied. Feminists blame men for their unease. The gays blame straights. The blacks blame whites. And the trans blame everyone. That’s Cultural Marxism, in a nutshell!'
Marx on the Couch
‘We are creatures who are dissatisfied from the moment we come out of our mother’s womb. Nothing in this dimension satisfies us for very long. . . . This is all constructed stuff. . . . Human beings are dissatisfied in their bodies. Saint Augustine: Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.’
In our irregular review of the State of What’s Left of The Nation — all our nations — Richie Allen and I stumble into what turns into a tentative scrutiny of the complex workings of Marxism in the life of of our culture — in the mad, allegedly ‘modern’ shape of Cultural Marxism, and its more traditional forms, which we might have been better not to dismiss entirely. In view of the unchecked expansion of what is nowadays called capitalism — ‘Larry Finkism’ — perhaps it is time we all made space for a moderate and open discussion on where the lines of our culture need to be redrawn?
‘I believe that, in the era of AI and technology, a lot of what Marx said really comes into its own. . . . Look at the other side of the line — look at what’s happened in capitalism. When we were kids growing up it was trendy to be a lefty, and we were all against The Man — the capitalist pigs and so on. We were with the working man, which is a good and honourable thing. I don’t apologies for having those opinions, I’ve never really changed them. But look at what’s happened in the past couple of decades, where we’ve gone from a situation where things were bad to where thing are absolutely egregious, they’re appalling, in the sense that the convergence of wealth at the top of the tree is so acute now that it’s actually paralysing the entire world, and has put control into the hands of monsters, who are as bad, in potential, as Stalin ever was. And this is arising from a model of capitalism which there was fair warning about — this globalised capitalism, these fiat money systems, debt-based currencies. All of this has created this monster, whereby the real wealth — I don’t mean the paper wealth because these guys have the conjurer’s trick of being able to convert their fake paper money into tangible assets. So these guys are actually claiming the world as their own, through a three-card-trick of a money system. And while we’re arguing about socialism being a terrible thing, and Stalin and all that, this is what’s been happening. It’s bloody well time we started waking up to it!’
‘What we’re seeing is not pure capitalism, anymore than what we saw in (Soviet) Russia was pure socialism. All these things are being mixed — and I’m not saying that pure socialism, or pure Marxism, would be a panacea for all the world’s ills — but there are elements in it that we’ve forgotten and which very much have a necessity to be revived now. Marx’s ideas about the ownership of the means of production — the loss of this idea is at the core of what’s happened. This loss occurred because there was this backlash against Marx, and this vital idea was lost at the time when it was most important in all of history, which was in the changeover into the AI age, the artificial intelligence age, the age of the algorithm — where we should have been sitting around for the last 20 years, 30 years, discussing in all our forums the shift from human, manual work, to machine-led economies. And to establish first of all the principle — which is a Marxian principle — that the ownership of these technologies, potential or otherwise, is vested in the people, and that the representative of the people have the dealing with it, they have the negotiation of it, but they do so on behalf of the people, who are entitled to the benefits of it. This hasn’t happened. We allowed this age to come, and we allowed the tech companies and their proxies to take over all this technology, which they are now using not to enrich us, but to enslave us. And this would have been avoided if people had paid more attention to Karl Marx.’
All this in the shadow of the Return of de Covid — ‘The Real Deal’
‘We are hearing from the margins of our guerrilla media about the escalating [excess] deaths again, which are a “mystery” according to the mainstream media. When I was a journalist in the mainstream media and there was a mystery, journalists were killing each other to go out and solve it. Now they’re killing each other to come up with dafter and dafter explanations for why this isn’t anything to worry about.’
‘This is all part of the cover-up of the Crime of the Century, or the Crime of the Millennium, or the Most Heinous Crime in All of History.’
‘This, as far as I know, has not happened before — where you have an entire establishment, across a whole range of institutional headings, from politics/government, through law, justice, judiciary, media, medicine, science, academics, et cetera, who are all part of the crime. They have been part of pushing this crime, and they’re now part of covering it up. And if you actually think about it, Richie — it’s a very frightening thought — that that mean that there’s almost no chance that they’re ever going to be brought to book. Because who would bring them to book? Who do we send out to arrest the perpetrators of this crime? “Oh, let’s send out the police!” “Would that be the same police who two years ago were dragging people out of cafés and buses for not wearing masks?” “Oh, well maybe it would!” “And do you think that they’re be happy to go out and arrest the Prime Minister or the Chief Medical Officer? I don’t think so.” Not only do they have no prospect of being caught, but they can actually present to themselves, and each other, that there’s no crime. And what’s the best way of sending that signal out? By announcing another pandemic and behaving in exactly the same way again.’
