Totalitarian Collectivism

Part 4 – FAMILY

The basic unit of society within Western civilization is the family. Inexorably founded upon the pillars of European heritage, the American Saga is the legacy of the family society. The esteemed professor Kevin MacDonald states that a primary characteristic of that history is "A tendency toward simple family structure based on the nuclear family." He further concludes: "This simple household system is a fundamental feature of individualist culture. The individualist family was able to pursue its interests freed from the obligations and constraints of extended kinship relationships and free of the suffocating collectivism of the social structures typical of the rest of the world."

Today’s Totalitarian Collectivism is devoted to the destruction of the family. Under the guise of social welfare and altruism, the most deprived and needy are herded into ghettos of despair and dependency. In a "Dueling Twins" segment, Altruism and Charity are Not the Same, the essential deceptive rational used for government intervention is exposed. "The core reasoning for intrusive intervention into the affairs of Free Men is the false notion that altruism is a desired goal for society to implement."

The best way to combat the social isolation of oppressive regimes is the refuge and shelter of the family unit. Society is a manufactured assemblage of institutional associations and cultural relationships. The family is the only purely natural kinship; blood being the distinctive element. Loyalty towards family is very healthy, especially when the State, falsely requires, universal obedience. The "TC" culture is designed to break down the ties of kinfolk’s allegiance at minimum, and elimination of primacy of family identity as the terminal goal.

The first objective of basic military training is the destruction of unique personal identity. So too, family affinity must be stripped and broken in order for the Mattoids of control to achieve their dream of utter domination. The family is better accumulated towards resistant opposition than a singular defiant loner.

Take the example of the Unabomber, Ted Kaczinski. Many conclude he is mentally ill. Paul Cooijmans sums up the manifesto's conclusion: "Technological society is incompatible with individual freedom and must therefore be destroyed and replaced by primitive society so that people will be free again." Kaczinski’s critique of society often provides rational criticism. However, most people would condemn his methods for direct pro-active efforts to foster his own version of destruction.

If one person could instill such an immense level of institutional fear into the system, just what could a family do? Remember, without a family member’s exposing evidence to authorities, Kaczinski might be still applying his injurious skills.

The establishment relies upon citizen acceptance of government authority to maintain the appearance of legitimacy. The sense of duty to that authority, whether deserved or not, is essential for the system to operate. Estrangement from family often increases the potential of bizarre behavior that can lead to anti-social conduct. Yet, the family is ground zero and targeted for destruction, because it represents a healing force to rebellious siblings.

Examples of violent hostility towards the State, only creates the self-justification to consolidate and expand greater degrees of coercion against citizens. The centralized command and controlled dictum benefits when isolated cases of desperate futility go "postal". Post 911 is an era of inexhaustible excuses for the enslavement of expendable sovereign citizens.

The family is under increased and intense pressures from the culture and community forces. But the most severe assault comes from the diminished economic realities that result in a much lower standard of living for the vast majority of families. The middle class is disappearing. A March 2010 ABC News poll reports: "A bit fewer than half of Americans count themselves as middle class -- but many of them aren't sure how long it will last: Among people who say they're in the middle class now, four in 10 also say they're struggling to remain there in this difficult economy."

Owning a family home was once the American dream for raising children. Lately, paying for a house, so often with a mortgage that is under water, is a curse. Because of a bad economy, students return from college and live with parents. Grandparents sell their perennial homestead, scale back or even move in with one of their children. Widowers look for platonic partners to share the rent. Depleted, at risk or lost are pensions, annuities, equities, bonds and savings. This is life in the "TC" subsequent financial meltdown environment.

Dependency seems new to many who where once middle class. Then again, most households are lulled into supporting and taking funds or benefits from government programs as an enticement of a dubious progress. The welfare state and safety nets are a nauseous chapter in the American Saga. People want them, and bargain away their individual dignity cheaply.

Now add into the equation Single-Parent Households in the United State having the highest percentage of 28.8% of all households with children for 2008 in developed countries. Totalitarian Collectivism views this trend as a great success. More dependency means greater collective addiction. Autocratic administration leads to bigger despotism. Isolated and frazzled, parenting is more difficult, and complicates the sacred task of raising children. Allowing bureaucratic intrusion into every aspect of family life leads to the next step, obtaining government permission to teach your child the difference between right and wrong.

The State is controlled by a gang of sociopaths bent upon destroying the family as a functioning unit. The American Saga began with a self-governing revolution and is now ending in passive mass suicide. Consider the networking abilities of coordinating extended families into a vigorous opposition to the "TC" hierarchy. Of course, those who are sucking the gracious generosity of state jobs or programs dry might vote to destroy the family, before dismantling their adopted benefactor’s system. That’s the rub; and the need for families to be devoted to traditional principles and mutual blood ties.

The political correctness culture is and always has been the eternal enemy of the individual. When the family strays from genetic inherited ideals, the results usually betray their ancestors. That is why core traditional values are fundamental to the honor of any family. Morality and the practice of ethical behavior are essential to maintain the integrity of the lineage. Society does not have a moral claim over the inherent autonomy of a human being or their family.

Notions of situational ethics are all the rage. Convenient rationalizations to justify destructive behavior drive the perversions of relative morality that rips apart the family. Clear and time-honored lines of family authority are often ignored. In their place, hollow substitutes and reinforced acquiescence to external role models, replace family stability.

Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum provides this warning: "There will be an assault on the institution of marriage," Santorum promised his audience. "Why? Because the left knows that, they can't really have government come in and take control of everything unless they destroy the family. Unless you destroy the family and destroy the Church they cannot ultimately be successful in getting socialism to be accepted in this country and that's what their objective is."

The family is a bulwark of opposition to collectivism. Marriage is the union that provides secure identity for children. Moreover, a child’s devotion to parents and relatives stands as a direct threat to the ultimate aims of the "TC" State.

Totalitarian Collectivism in all its forms and deviations share the necessity to eradicate resistance to their top down power hierarchy. If people display their primary allegiance to be family ties, the tyrant needs to break the bond among the entire extended relationship. Society inevitably results in natural differences. Cultural, ethnic and racial dissimilarities and variations do not negate the integral bond of the family. For additional analysis on this topic read the series: Similarity, Community, Values and Human Nature.

Basic standards of cordial conduct must be a conscious goal to establish reasonable order and sensible protection. Families thrive in this environment. When families reflect sound values, relationship affinity and motivated independence, social stability flourishes.

"TC" guarantees chaos because the human spirit will never accept dictatorial bondage. Many will enslave themselves out of ignorance, cowardliness or slothful disinterest. Notwithstanding, a remnant of brave resistant combatants will persist in their challenge to defeat despotism. Most likely, family clans will be at the center of this struggle. Leadership may well be from the exceptional, but the troops will come from the trusted.

Wearing down the will to resist is a basic tactic of any illegitimate state. The forces of designed subjugation want citizens to view the State as a substitute father and mother. That old nanny state is now an all-pervasive robotic and insidious overlord that seeks to own and control your very existence. Womb to tomb is now a vicious struggle to abolish the power of the sociopath masters of Totalitarian Collectivism. The true antisocial psychopath is a proponent or enabler of the "TC" establishment. A system that wants to destroy the family is illegitimate.
