Letters by a modern St. Ferdinand III about cults

Michael Moore is a famous dullard who benefits from dull people wanting to view even duller lies parading as 'documentaries' and who is of course enriched from the 'capitalist' system he so detests. Pathological, hypocritical, and partially insane ? Most certainly. It is doubtful that Moore and the 'capitalist' haters shop in North Korea or go to Cuba for health care. It is highly unlikely that they want to reside in an Islamic state, or try out Putin's Russia for a spell. Yet for Moore and other witless hypocritical socialists, it is the modern world system, the political-economy of individualism and capital which is at odds with their belief in the perfectibility of man and society – all premised on socialism, communalism and totalitarian elitist-control. Moore and his fellow-travellers are in short haters of life and exponents of tyranny.

Jamie Glazov, whose family were refugees from the evil absurdity of Russian fascism or communism, wrote a great book recently outlining the lunacy of people like Michael Moore, including their individual and communal pathological insanity [http://www.amazon.com/United-Hate-Romance-Tyranny-Terror/dp/1935071602]. Criticizing any system is fine in the abstract – until you have to compare it to something in the real world. Capitalism by its very nature of contractual individualism mandates, laws, regulations, morality, a code of ethics, and social harmony. Otherwise the 'system' will never work. What is evil about the aforementioned artifacts which surround capitalism?

It is hard to listen to people criticize pace Moore, that 'capitalism' which is a complex set of economic, philosophical and spiritual concepts, is 'evil'. Come again ? A system which extols caput or the 'head' and which over 400 years of painful exertions has lifted mankind from feudal ignorance, illiteracy and early death; into the modern era of conveniences, hope and longer lives is 'evil' ? How dumb does one have to be to subscribe to such an idea ?

No 'system' is perfect including that of capitalism, a word which is usually not defined properly, nor is it properly understood. After all the entire media-education and political systems are foursquare against any and all aspects of 'capitalism'. But market based decisions, premised around fluid flows of capital and based on the belief that individuals are intelligent enough to decide for themselves what to do, where to work, what to buy, and how to live; cannot ever be called 'evil'. Individuals might be evil; individuals might lie and steal; individuals might scam; but individuals are not a collective conspiring to promote excessive greed, slavery, the impoverishment of others or general destruction. In fact the culture produced by a capitalist system is one of morality, restraint, civic virtue, laws and contracts. This is a simple fact.

'Evil' for many people is a 'relative' word which is used very selectively. Capitalism and the creation of money, markets, and technologies for example had these consequences: the eradication of slavery as a viable socio-economic model; mass education; mass suffrage; mass travel; the creation of labor saving appliances; the remarkable improvements in food production and productivity; the creation of literally hundreds of millions of new jobs and careers in markets and industries which fantasy writers circa 1880 would never have dreamed could exist; infant mortality reduction; mass health-care, and increasing the life-span of the individual from 35 years to 80. And one should not forget that it was the 'capitalist' British Empire and American Republic which defeated and were instrumental in destroying various fascism's including Napoleon, German imperialism and Nazism, and Russian fascism.

Such a 'system' is evil ?

What is evil is Moore and his ilk's endless declarations of solidarity with totalitarian ideologies. Statism and militarist socialism has murdered over 100 millions in the past 60 years destroying generations of life. Islam has perpetuated a 1400 year jihad against civilization, life, Jews and Christians, murdering some 300 millions. These are truly evil systems for the simple reason they hate life and modernity. Nazism was an ideological condemnation of the modern world as was Russian fascism. Along with Islam such philosophies look to replace the modern 'liberal' world with some sort of brave and robust 'utopia' – all managed by the state and its ruling cult.

The ineluctable logic of Moore's philosophy is death. The inescapable derivative of the mother-earth eco-cult for example, is of course the destruction of humans and the management of the rest. The inevitable result of a fascist or Islamic state is violence, hatred, and ultimately the imposition of a death cult. Are not such systems of thought truly 'evil' ?

And here is another factual problem with the capitalism-haters.

In the modern world we have largely state managed economies – capitalism as such does not exist in the present time. The world is not nearly as open to trade as the media would like us to believe. In most states only 25-40% of a nation's economy is open to trade both imports and exports. Most national economies are tightly regulated with massive government interventions in every sphere. And of course governments everywhere are increasing their hold over political and economic life. It is simply untrue therefore that 'capitalism' exists and if that is a fact how can something which does not exist be 'evil' ?

Maybe what is truly evil are those people who hate life and hate the individual. By supporting national or international socialism, the anti-modern world crowd reveal themselves for what they are – supporters of fantasy utopias which are in the end death cults. It is remarkable that any sentient and moral person would listen to these people or believe their chattering idiocies.
