Entry: Egalitarian, Totalitarian, Socratic? Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/egalitarian_totalitarian_socratic#27463 Post contents: Prior to the 20th century, the West go along just fine without the need to foster the "noble lie" of egalitarianism. In fact, any traditionalist would say it got along much better than it is today. History does not bear out this idea that unless elites promulgate a myth of egalitarianism society will crumble. In fact, as Russell Kirk pointed out Roots of American Order, the belief in egalitarianism has done more harm than good. The fact that this myth today is so widely peddled is a symptom, if not a partial cause, of our decline. Sent at: 2009 01 09
