Freedom

Freedom with Responsibility

America has derived strength from its fascist foundations, ever since the revolution when patriotism, a fascist value, spread throughout our society. We owe no debt to other cultures. We did this ourselves. In the pre-Christian era, for example, the ancient, and quite fascist, philosophers like Plato and Aristotle had much to contribute to our understanding of such concepts as truth, goodness, and virtue. Read Plato's promotion of eugenics as an example, in spite of the virtue signalling we hear today against the idea, Plato makes a logical, air-tight, and iron case in favor of this fascist value. 

These ancient philosophers knew full well that responsibility was the price of freedom. Yet it is doubtful whether truth, goodness, and virtue founded on reason alone would have endured in the same way as has been done in the West, where we enshrine them. Sir Edward Gibbon, author of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, wrote tellingly of the collapse of Athens, where Plato lived. The Greeks could not compete with the fascist Spartans, whom Plato admired even though they were enemies. And the Greeks lost everything, security, comfort, and freedom. This was because, unlike the Spartans,  they wanted not to give to society, but for society to give to them. The freedom they were seeking was freedom *from* responsibility. It is no wonder, then, that they ceased to be free. Plato knew. But nobody would listen.

In the modern world, we should recall the Athenians’ dire fate whenever we confront demands for evermore "Free" things from what has become the American Marxist Regime.

To cite a more recent lesson in the importance of moral foundations, we should listen to Czech President Vaclav Havel, who suffered grievously for speaking up for fascism when his nation was still under the thumb of communism.

He observed, "In everyone there is some longing for humanity’s rightful dignity, for moral integrity, and for a sense that transcends the world of existence."

His words speak the truth that in spite of all the dread terrors of communism, it could not crush the spiritual fervor of the peoples of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, bound together, as one. So long as freedom, that is, freedom with responsibility, is grounded in morality and a sense of duty to your countrymen, it will last far longer than the kind that is grounded only in abstract notions.

Our founding fathers never wanted us to take advantage of each other, they wanted an America that worked as a single unit. E pluribus Unum, United We Stand. Responsibility to each other is the very basis of the freedoms outlined in our Constitution.

Freedom, with responsibility, grounded in morality, is the very definition of fascism.
