Marxism, Eggs and Shoeshines...

James Burnham Warned You...

 "Where there is no alternative, there is no problem..." -- James Burnham

"There is no one force, no group, and no class that is the preserver of liberty. Liberty is preserved by those who are against the existing chief power. Oppositions which do not express genuine social forces are as trivial, in relation to entrenched power, as the old court jesters..." -- James Burnham, "The Machiavellians"

A Majority of One (We're Fucked Edition)

"You're just another of those disconnected, easily-angered zombies who haven't really worked a day in their lives. Always eager to tell other people how to live and what to say. Posting pictures of their food every single day because that's a fucking achievement for them. Preparing a meal. You know, that thing you're supposed to do so that you don't starve to death." -- Caspar Vega, Hayfoot

Voices Inside My Head (#13 - Stuff That Needs Sayin')

"Do not consider Collectivists as "sincere but deluded idealists". The proposal to enslave some men for the sake of others is not an ideal; brutality is not "idealistic", no matter what its purpose. Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power lust nor stupidity are good motives."  -- Ayn Rand

Conspiracy Theory: Because Stupid People Need a Hobby, Too...

"The main thing I learned about Conspiracy Theory is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is often chaotic. The Truth is that it is not the Illuminati, The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Conspiracy. The Truth is far more frightening -- no one is in control. The World is rudderless." -- Philip Moore

"...if you assume a big enough conspiracy, you can explain everything. Including the cosmos, itself." -- Fritz Leiber

Great Moments in Dumbfuck (Illegal Alien Edition)

"There comes a time when it must be realized that the bulk of Humanity is just too stupid to be left alive, and it is at such moments that you desperately wish you were allowed to kill the Stupid just as soon as it self-identifies." -- The Overlord.

A Majority of One ("Get Off My Lawn!" Edition)

“The theologian may indulge the pleasing task of describing Religion as she descended from Heaven, arrayed in her native purity. A more melancholy duty is imposed on the historian. He must discover the inevitable mixture of error and corruption which she contracted in a long residence upon Earth, among a weak and degenerate race of beings.”  -- Edward Gibbons, The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire
