New neo-Marxist projects are springing up like mushrooms after the rain. In the Czech Republic we are a few months after the elections, and those who have no positions left are starting new activities. They have to be more radical than their comrades who got into government positions. For example, the New Contract Association.
Their vision or plan is – very simplistically – to break the power of corporations and introduce direct democracy, a system of popular votes, discussions in local communities, etc. In such an environment, people will opt for the utterly extreme Green Deal, unlimited numbers of migrants, 76 genders, mandatory political correctness, white guilt and all that politically correct nonsense.
If the Czech Republic were not controlled by a few large global organizations, there would be no place for progressivist politicians.
The text doesn’t even entertain the possibility that people might use this to do the opposite – to push for bacon, beer, sexual harassment, two sexes and internal combustion engines. By contrast, the text contains various small hints that the idyllic local democracy might be quite similar to the Khmer Rouge government. Then it might actually work – strict close scrutiny of everyone’s thinking, not suffering anything retrograde and not hesitating to use maximum brutality – then perhaps the discussions would turn out as the reformers imagined. This is normal for this type of utopianism.
But the authors of the New Contract meet more important issue. They want an agenda that is typical of corporations and that no one but corporate captains want. And they want to push this agenda by destroying the corporate world. After all, they themselves are products of the corporate world.If the Czech Republic were not controlled by a few large global organizations, there would be no place for politicians of their type.
In fact, we should cheer them on to be as successful as possible.
