Two are One

From Mangan's blog in response to the RNC Chairman's statement that Republicans are against "self-deportation" of illegals:

The only thing the Republicans seem to be good for anymore is debating abortion and slightly lower taxes. I saw a remark the other day to the effect that the Soviet Union would still be around if only they had had an opposition party that was effectively identical to the Communists, except for their position on abortion. That is close to what we have today with our two major parties. So I guess that means that the country has a future.

In other words, the Republicans are what Moldbug calls the Outer Party to the Democrat's Inner Party--or, in old Communist terms, the Republicans are simply "useful idiots."

Kerry on Egypt from Pakistan

John Kerry, Obama's traveling jester, exercising his Bushian semantic acuity on Egyptian developments:


“The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of whom were afraid of descendance into chaos, into violence,” Kerry was quoted as having told Geo. “And the military did not take over, to the best of our judgment – so far. To run the country, there’s a civilian government. In effect, they were restoring democracy,” he added.



Hey, maybe its time for the Pentagon to restore democracy in America, to prevent further "descendance" into violence and disaster. I think this might mean the Cathedral is more enamored of democracy in theory than in practice. Which isn't to say that they're about to drop the pro-democracy propaganda shtick. Rather, it means that democracy will mean whatever they say it means. They are fairly fond of this trick, commandeering the language and reforming it for the purpose of moral betterment and good-thinking. What they call "amnesty" these days actually means get-out-of-jail-free for millions, and get-into-America-free for millions more. In the case of Egypt, since the army proved more friendly to good Egyptian friends of the Cathedral than the Muslim Brotherhood was, democracy means that the army resumes power. Now, do you think his Pakistani hosts quite follow these sophisticated involutions of intent and flights of interpretation? Who knows when the State Department's priests of permanent revolution may alight upon Islamabad as a promising new proving ground for their religion? When you consider that FDR inaugurated permanent revolution in America, could it be any way surprising that State translates this foundational stance into foreign policy? State's long struggle against colonialism, a struggle that catastrophized much of the third world, was certainly revolutionary and certainly stopped at nothing: they undermined the French in Algeria and the Pentagon in Vietnam, amongst many other glorious achievements against non-Marxists everywhere. Still, Kerry's bold turn of phrase shows the way for any adept dictatorship to keep State off its back. At least, that is, until State goes even further Left, as inevitably it must.
