Entry: Gay Marriage Sucks! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/gay_marriage_sucks#31682 Post contents: "Egalitarianism" understood as the idea that everyone should be exactly equal is of course nonsense, and surely lies behind lots of nonsense today, including "gay marriage" as instituted by the state. (But if some churches want to marry gay couples they should have the right to do so. Problems arise, because the theme is intertwined with the subject of inheritance (of material goods, fortunes) etc.) Marx never believed in egalitarianism nor babbled about "new men" etc. That's exactly why he described his vision of communism as a society where the differences between humans are accepted and does not create submission of one man under another. His problem is never to have understood that this can only be an ideal. I think what you overlook is that there are limits to what amounts of economic inequality can exist in a society without resulting in the destruction of that society and it's degeneration into barbarism. The old greeco-roman historian Polybios fx. discussed this. Lots of billionaires today live like they were fascist uebermenschen, their "freedom" is footed upon the suppresion of lots of human beings' freedom of expression etc. I think we are fast approaching those limits to inequality today (where around forty people owns fortunes equal to the poorer half of the nation states on this globe), and that all the liberal babbling about "rights" is just a facade meant to cover for the enormous inequalities within the "democratic" "party" fx. between hyperbillionaires like mr. Soros deciding over billions of peoples' lives like modern pharaos and little people living under the threat of being destroyed by pharaonic speculators like Soros. Today it makes no meaning to speak of any society. The dominance of sheer psychopaths have again reached the levels we know from the barbarian times of Stalin, Hitler and their likes. With figures like Bush II or mr. desPutin etc. we are again approaching modern expressions of the phenomenon known from the antiquiety under names like Nero and Caligula. The old greeks sought to warn against these things in myths like the one about king Midas. Humanity will probably never find any kind of stable situation, most facts point to the conclusion that humanity is incapable of solving it's internal conflicts and will finally end up by destroying itself for sheer greed and by destroying it's own natural environment and inner cohesion. That conclusion does of course not fit the political theorists, who are all so to speak by definition trying to collect political capital by creating illusions and simulacrums. But their creations are in general bad litterature proving the point that the art of lying is degenerating. Sent at: 2008 12 05
