DixyCrat: Because harm for authority’s sake is the ethos he’s defending; helping and fairness the “absolute power” he warns against.
M: I don't see this. In the first place I don't understand what you mean unless I also assume you incorrectly interpret what he is actually saying. I hear him warning against something I talk about all the time, the dangerous nature of certainty that results when your unconscious assumptions about what good is are actually wrong. This is like warning of the danger of good intentions, the danger of ideological conviction, the moral outrage toward those who challenge your notions of morality, the hidden hate and fear that lies at the heart of victim mentality, the projection, out in the world that somebody else is to blame for your suffering, the secret hatred of others and the desire for chaos and revenge, hate hidden behind the moral face. He is warning against the Marxist do good intention that leads to the death of millions, just as he said in the lecture and how that same psychopathy lingers today on the left. He is saying that the do good intentions of Marxism are under girded by hate and not love. There is nothing at all wrong with the seeking of justice and equality when they are the real motivation, seems to me.
DC: Ignoring that we see homeless people in the street, suffering from the “absolute power” of the authority of capital markets.
M: I think he is warning not to throw everybody in the street that has a place to sleep to create equality, or create a society of tent cities.
DC: Where he argues for “order” it is clear his brand of order works against overcoming the chaos the present ordering-system creates, particularly when it is seen in the worlds of those that are invisible to white middle class men.
M: If I am listening and understanding correctly then clearly not. If you have any idea at all about the rage and anger and hatred the seethe within us as a result of our self hate, you would know the horrendous dangers that can manifest out of victim mentality. He points to the Soviet Union and I think he makes a good case. We will never learn because we will never confront the beast within. You and you alone are responsible for hate in the world. Fix that and then maybe you can fix the world. In the mean time I see little that can be done but point to those facts.
