Entry: "Islamophobia" and "Anti-Fascist" Frauds Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/islamophobia_and_anti_fascist_frauds#1516 Post contents: Please bear in mind - or perhaps begin to consider - how Marxism was but one symptom of the materialistic superstitions (yes I'm inclined to use that word a lot, and will continue to do so) of the Modern Age. Marx was a relatively obscure figure during his lifetime - for good reason, as his thinking was not very original. He was elevated to prominence by the Russian Communists. Someone - I forget who - said something like, "the path from Marx to Lenin was a transition from scientism to magic". And as history never repeats itself, I wonder where the next seductive superstition will arise and give birth to a revolution whose unintended consequences will devour its own children. I have become increasingly alarmed at the prospect for a certain kind of cultish and solipsistic Libertarianism to play such a role in America in the near future, perhaps involving the followers of Ludwig Von Mises creating their own cult of magical thinking under a veneer of scientism - the 21st century American analogue of the Bolshevik transformation of Marxism into Magic.
