Essentially through creative destruction (his term, initially popular with Marxists) power would consolidate in each creative destruction market cycle.

He agrees with Neo-Liberals on the phenomenon, its just through his moral lens it is a morally evil thing, while Neo-Liberals believe it is a productive function.

"Parliaments will increasingly elect social democratic parties, and democratic majorities will vote for restrictions on entrepreneurship. Increasing workers' self-management, industrial democracy and regulatory institutions would evolve non-politically into "liberal capitalism". Thus, the intellectual and social climate needed for thriving entrepreneurship will be replaced by some form of "laborism". This will exacerbate "creative destruction" (a borrowed phrase to denote an endogenous replacement of old ways of doing things by new ways), which will ultimately undermine and destroy the capitalist structure."

This basically describes Social Democracy in Europe.

This is a common Marxist critique of social democracy. They argue that social democracy a tool of the bourgeoisie to preserve power by accommodating class consciousness. I always cringe whenever people in our community use the term “cultural Marxist”; no one should use the term because it is a contradiction in terms. Marxism is a purely materialist ideology and considers categories of race, culture, and the like to be constructions of bourgeois false consciousness. In this way, a classical Marxist would argue that racial grievance politics (e.g., BLM) are bourgeois constructions that exist in order to prevent class solidarity.

That’s why I believe “cultural Marxist” is an appropriate term. The qualifier, “cultural” illustrates how Marxism is fundamentally not cultural, but economic. But instead of the bourgeoisie oppressing the proletariat, men oppress women, whites oppress blacks etc.

And democracy is, without a doubt, a tool of the ruling class

Kudos literature club team for the Mr. Taylor debate. That was fantastic.

2019-02-12 04:19:59 UTC  

What’s the next book for BOTM?

2019-02-12 04:20:39 UTC  

we're looking at USA history books - maybe one on the revolution

2019-02-12 04:21:32 UTC  

Excellent. Keep us updated. Looking forward to it.

2019-02-12 04:57:20 UTC  

We haven't settled on one title in particular yet. You should feel free to give suggestions. The criteria is a non-political text that pertains to American history, culture, and heritage; think Lewis and Clark-type stuff.

2019-02-12 21:27:15 UTC  

@William_1994 - WA Fiction or non fiction?

2019-02-12 22:10:50 UTC  

Non-fiction.

2019-02-12 22:14:03 UTC  

First or Second Revolution?

2019-02-13 21:28:28 UTC  

Have any of you read 'Which Way Western Man?' ? I just started it and I'm loving it thus far.

2019-02-13 21:34:32 UTC

2019-02-13 23:41:09 UTC

2019-02-13 23:41:21 UTC  

*not. Lol

Ok why do new messages seem to be showing up in <#542123221944893483> and <#405179684230266880>? I can’t see these messages and we’re done with the jared Taylor interview for the qanda. What is happening in resources?

2019-02-15 18:48:31 UTC  

Discord does that sometimes

2019-02-15 18:56:18 UTC  

Stahp dis

2019-02-15 19:54:52 UTC  

uhh

2019-02-15 19:55:02 UTC  

I don't think there's really anything we can do about it

2019-02-15 20:01:48 UTC  

Mute the channel

2019-02-15 20:02:00 UTC  

Or mark them all as read

2019-02-15 20:03:52 UTC  

muting the channel isn't going to do anything

2019-02-15 20:04:10 UTC  

it's a problem with Discord not the specific channels

2019-02-18 03:58:17 UTC  

So what's going on with the club? What's the next book?

2019-02-18 04:01:31 UTC  

it's being decided on

2019-02-18 07:19:25 UTC  

When are we making Monika mascot of the server?

2019-02-18 21:09:06 UTC  

More than halfway through White Identity, it’s quite the eye opener. This should be a requirement for all members.

2019-02-18 21:09:53 UTC  

What's the premise of the book? I'd give it a read if I didn't feel like it was going over stuff I already know.

2019-02-18 21:25:15 UTC  

@Ryonne the book gives many examples of racism towards whites, anti white rhetoric, how the push for diversity hurts more people than it helps and how whites continuously work against their own self interest. It's all stuff you know already, but it's worth a read for the statistics and examples Taylor uses. It's a quick read. Definitely worth it.

2019-02-18 21:29:20 UTC  

Alright, I’ll give it a read then.

2019-02-18 22:48:34 UTC  

You won’t regret it, and everything is backed with facts.

2019-02-19 01:16:19 UTC  

Sources to the facts I mean...
