I think you're in it over your head, and don't know what you're swimming in. Amazing to me..... sometimes.... but I should not be.... that someone who is intellectually committed to a cause, as you are, mostly for the value of the ideas as you see them, simply will not see the damage fake advocates of your ideals are doing to your beloved ideals.
My true Marxist friend, who was the first to drop whatever his interest or activity was at the moment, to do something to help others, was truly grieved by the Statist betrayal of the dream. His version of it, as a Native American/European by ancestry, was not too far from the old lore of the "Indians". Love of the Earth, oneness with nature, belief in "good medicine", and a sort of "tribal" community that held this world's goods in the common needs. I never could get him to see the reason why private property, as Blackstone wrote, was essentially the same thing as the right to life.
An individual living and working in a tribal social system simply did not see the need for a mansion on the hill, and there was no protection for "property" beyond the willingness of your tribal brothers to defend it against others.
Historically, Marxism has largely been a tool in the hands of a few "oligarchs" who lived and thought but little different from megabillionaires. Like all the other "tools" trundled out to placate the ignorant masses, it becomes simply another lie used to disenfranchise the huddled masses of dupes.
Globalism, as it is now being run out as a grand agenda, is no different. The distinctions between "oligarchic" or "party" rule, defined by a small inclusive set of "better people" or "experts" or "moneyed interests", and tyranny, simply get lost when the jackbooted thugs, the troops or the "police" go out on the street to enforce the "law".
The compact that is "The American Experiment" is on the whole, an attempt to make tyranny more difficult to create. It attempted to use people's nature to limit their power by dividing the government into supposedly balancing departments.
All that is gone with today's politics. The interests have almost reached an ability to exert cohesive power against the people regardless of what the common people can do. The method used to overcome "limited government" has been ideological..... and that is exactly what you with all of your abilities.... are so deeply committed to.
If you go with the flow in the progressive movement today, you are being used methodically to effect the exact opposite of what you want.
We have in this country today, however, a critical mass of ordinary folks who have the true dream of liberty, and it appears to me that even the extended system of public education, party propaganda press, and scientific methods applied to manage the public discourse and context.... mind control exerted through societal norms as well as indoctrination.... are failing to control the direction of choice.
The determination of the mainstream media and other "deep state" managers to run this country down from an "exceptional" place for human opportunity to a "compliant" cartelist monopoly with a peasant populace like those medieval castles of the dark ages, is now seen more for what it is.
Like a herd of cows that has been rounded up and worked routinely, we need more prodding, more horsemen whooping and hollering, to get us into the pens. The progressive "managers" have lost their patience, and their methods are creating a public stampede away from the fake nirvana of a few bales of hay proffered to get us to comply.
oh damn. The tyrants will have to go to plan B/.
But the tyrants still don't get it. Google and other internet giants, are teaming up with the Chinese Red Army, under Chairman Xi, who loves Mao and Rockefeller and my cuz Maurice Strong and their ilk, to run out a top-down totally regulated "community" where dissidents can be efficiently identified and deplatformed, if not rounded up in little police wagons. Oh yes, we need some "authorities" to police our private conversations, to be sure that no renegades can ruin our paradise of perfectly reformed peasants/.
For 180 years the "progressive" leadership has paid a lot of attention to the tolerances of the masses, seeing the need to keep them in good humor. But, too bad, the current leadership has gone amok. It will not be pretty.
Something like the American Revolution is brewing.
I don't think Alex Jones is particularly a sharp tool. I've wondered if he isn't a deliberately encouraged wackadoodle foil to be used to make American rebels look bad. Who knows. Who could ever really know. But without a lot of people who feel disenfranchised and who resent the Lordly Nobles' lack of common sense and conspicuous privilege, he'd be nothing in the first place.
Taking him off of the social platforms is direct evidence he is genuine, however unbalanced. Now people will be willing to go find him where he is, where ever he is, and believe him more.
Unless the progressives can see the necessity for ditching Hillary and a lot of other problematic talking heads, your dream is lost.
