Morning Comrades.

As stated on Monday we are going to deep-dive into the ideological realities that have and continue to determine our life’s, whether we are aware of it, like it, or not. It’s an attempt to start a deconstruction process that may well take as long as we have time on this planet but one that is so utterly necessary to actually start building a liberatory reality. Whether or not Capitalism will grant us this time I genuinely doubt but nevertheless, we have to. As the kids say, let’s lock in and get it done.

We are going to start with the position that despite the smokescreen, that the dominant western ideology is somehow progressive and humanitarian, the reality is that is entirely driven by the regressive reality of fighting anything that it perceives as a threat to the capitalist reality. For all intents and purpose that means, that the dominant western reality is anti-communist. Anarchism, presented a real threat to the western capitalist class in its early days, specifically, the early 1800s and this is never to be discounted, but since the ascension of communism by the mid 1800s that train of thought has become what it is, and today is not the day to dissect modern anarchism and its faults. One day, but definitely not today. With that, we are not even going to attempt to historicize the entire timeline since communism’s material ascension as one of the proposed, and occasionally attempted, alternatives to the Capitalism but will focus on the period from the end of WW2 to today- only, because this more tangible. To be clear, the material execution of the dominant Western ideology has been tangible since the early 1800s, but again, a tale for another day.

With that, let’s start with this: Anti-Communism as the Primary Ideological Driver of Western Ideological Reality since-WWII and how it shapes us.
