Missing the Rand point
Jeffrey Tucker at AIER is the champion truth-teller on the current holocaust, the only source of the
ONE FACT that would start the Nuremberg Trials if any sanity remained.
Other writers at AIER are more standard "conservatives" and "libertarians", often missing the main point.
This article by David Hart correctly traces the genealogy of the "virus" holocaust
from the "green" genocide, but misses the ideological point badly. Or more precisely, Hart adds an ideological point to a situation that has no connection to ideology. (All situations have no connection to ideology, which is a completely extraneous and meaningless variable.)
He considers these movements to be socialist. Nope.
The Green movement originated in CIA and "social" "science" types, who like to use Marxish terminology but are NOT Marxists. They're just evil.
Soon after the origin, "climate" was taken over by Libertarians, and the "virus" holocaust is ALL Libertarian.
Globalism IS libertarianism. Soros and Bezos are anti-Marxist, following Ayn Rand to the letter. Rand's utopia is a one-man utopia. Atlas ends up being the universe, and all other humans end up enslaved or dead. Soros and Bezos fully intend to be the universe.
The opposite of Rand isn't necessarily socialism, because the definition of socialism is meaningless.
The real variable is SKILLS, not "control of means of production". The SKILL variable does run
partly along the same lines as capitalist vs socialist, but not entirely.
The correlation is clear when SKILL is the prime variable. The countries and states that have the earliest and harshest lockdowns are Randian, fully financialized, running solely on debt and free money for Atlas, closely tied to Soros and Bezos. In those places Bezos CAN kill everyone, so he does.
The countries and states with the mildest tyranny are dependent on REAL INDUSTRY AND FARMING, and dependent on TAXES for survival. Many of these places are socialist or Soviet, because Soviet systems always depend on real people doing real work and paying real taxes.
Hart seems to be catching onto the crossed-up variables at the end of the article, where he notes with some puzzlement that his Libertarian mentors were following Lenin's model to gain tyranny. Maybe his puzzlement will lead to a NOW I SEE moment. Learning tends to happen that way.
