Postmodernist power play

Costa Andre Georghiou is actually a true believer, he just doesn’t like the religions that compete with his. Religions have three components — legal, spiritual and organisational — which give them their belief structures.

As he says, man is a religious animal, but Georghiou doesn’t realise that he adopted a world view derived from two dominant religions of today: postmodernism and cultural Marxism.

Postmodernism arose from the general decline of Christianity. Cultural Marxism arose from the Frankfurt school, whose intention was to destroy the West. The postmodern elite adopted cultural Marxism as its belief structure to promote a global one-world belief structure and government, ruled naturally by itself.

The people are to be fragmented so there is no barrier between the state (the political elite) and people. It is not an accident that as political correctness has expanded so has general inequality. No religion, possibly outside of Islam, is inherently violent. Besides, secular world views themselves can turn extremely violent.

Communism has been responsible for about 100-million deaths, and Genghis Khan killed about 5% of the world population. When societies are subject to demographic structural pressure they often do turn to violence.

Peter Turchin, the most public proponent of demographic structural theory, points out that the impoverishment of the general populace, plus intra-elite conflict, is the cause of the radicalisation of societies, which leads to war.

The policies of our political elite are promoting this very impoverishment and conflict. Brexit and the election of Donald Trump are all symptoms of the conflict, which unfortunately has some way to go.
