About 15 years ago I began using the term ‘ideofascism’ to define a cultural movement I saw spreading throughout society which reminded me of the popular mass moment which swept across Europe, most particularly in Germany, from the early 1930s and into the 40s culminating in a world war. Although the masses of that era who embraced the Fascist Party were largely disillusioned with the collapse of the Axis powers, the people themselves who remained through and after the war were essentially the same and the only thing that really changed was they were now void of an ideology. They needed something new to cleave unto.
Immediately upon the completion of the war, the same spirit (if you will) began to reinvent itself, morphing over the next few decades and eventually arriving in the 21st Century wearing the latest fashions of the day. Many who are of a conservative mindset now refer to the movement as ‘Cultural Marxism’, while a number of others along with those on the left now call it being, ‘woke’.
Up until the time Barack Obama was elected, most Americans disregarded the real danger this radical ideology posed, not realizing how deeply it had become embedded into American culture, or had over time began embracing the ideology themselves. Truth be told, this new form of socialism, is in essence is very much the same as it’s fascist predecessor. Don’t be deceived by outward appearances.
While fascism of the past is for the most part associated with nationalism and Marxism with internationalism, ideofascism combines elements of both communism and fascism to created an international fascist movement based upon a universal socialist ideology. Whereas fascism sought to separate people by what was deemed a ‘superior race’ from other diverse and ‘inferior’ races, ideofasism is a campaign against the diversity of thought—or in the view of the left, a war of their ‘superior ideas’ against all other ‘inferior’ forms of thought which challenge them.
Like Communism, the goal of this fanatical mass movement is be embraced and empowered globally. Interestingly, however, like Nazism, this neo-socialist movement is still indeed race based—although it claims not to be—only it is inverted to where now, all the diverse people of the world, people of color (if you will) are deemed the superior races, and the white race is the inferior race which is responsible for all the corruption and suffering in the world.
But problems still remain. It seems they still haven’t gotten the race part all sorted out quite yet to where it works and makes them happy. Whites are bad, they’ve defiantly got that part down. However, they seem to be conflicted as to where Asians fit in, China is certainly fine and dandy with the left, but those Americans of Asian descent seem to achieve just a little bit too much—and the ancient question still persists, what to do with the Jews. Although, it is not really so much a question of what to do, as how and when to do it. Thus, the neo-socialists of the radical left still have a lot of work to do to avoid dissension among their diverse competing factions.
The Jewish ‘problem’ is somewhat complicated for the non-Jewish radical left. For he time being, they need the Jews who support their radical agendas and sympathize with them; they are heavily dependent on many Jew people. At the same time, they show outright contempt for the state of Israel and are often found expressing anti-Semitism in their views and deeds.
On the other hand, many Jews who identify with the extremists on the left also bash Israel, as do whites who now bash their own whiteness. What neither of these two groups of self-haters realize is that they will not escape after their usefulness has expired. Nonetheless, for the time being they continue on excepting and accepting that they will be ‘bitch-slapped’ now and then, and so even slap themselves to show how ‘righteously’ woke and guilty they are. Thus, they continue on fighting the battles for those who hate them.
A recent example of this phenomenon was made manifest after a Fox News broadcast wherein Tucker Carlson defended maintaining American ideas by controlling immigration. The ADL immediately called for the cancellation of his show, even though, the reasons and measures Tucker proposed were the same as supported by the ADL on their website in regards to protecting Israel as a Jewish state. The hypocrisy of the ADL was glaring, but in defense, they played the only card the left has to defend themselves, the Race Card. The ADL said the case of America was different than Israel’s because of white supremacy.
The justification for ADL’s hypocritical double standard fails. Here is why. Tucker’s argument for protecting demographics is not based on race, or even on immigration, but upon ideas. Some nations embrace better ideas. That’s why some prosper and some don’t. If others are allowed to come in, it is reasonable that it be done at a rate and in a manner, that protects the nation’s ideas.
When the walls, fences, and checkpoints in Israel were made harder in between the West Bank and Gaza, and Israel, it was because of ideas. The ideas of radical Islam were increasingly turning into acts of terror. It wasn’t racism, that made the divide greater between Israel and Palestinians. It was dangerous ideas that existed to an intolerable degree. If there were no terrorists among the Palestinians, there would be free movement today between the two people. A nation has the right to protect its ideas. Every nation has that right. How much more the ones which embrace better ideas. Both Israel and the US have the right to protect their ideas and their people.
In the case of the US, by injecting “white supremacy” into the argument—for Israelis the left uses the Palestinians—the left seeks to turn the narrative into a racial one rather than an ideological one. DNA doesn't matter, history past does not matter. Ideas matter. You can use accusations of racism to undermine that, but really, if you do, it is quite diabolical.

It was there in the 1990s as we had politically correct versions of Aesop’s Grasshopper And The Ants and a push to recognize ebonics as an American dialect of English.
I saw a sickening CNN interview with the CEO of the ADL, in which he lambasted Mr. Carlson.
However, this article here is slightly mistaken: The CEO of the ADL seemed to take issue primarily with Mr. Carlson's use of the term "Replacement," which is - apparently - sacrosanct (sorta like the term "Holocaust") and reserved for use exclusively when decrying anti-Semitism.
With that interview, the ADL lost every iota of credibility it may have once had for me.
Mr. Carlson is absolutely correct in his assessment of one of the major beneficial (for the Democrats) side-effects of the mass invasion across our southern border: The dilution of the voting rights of legal Americans.
Regards,
I can see why you thought that, however, after the ADL's statement, and Tucker's response, subsequent article's and statements were released in an attempt to counter Tucker's expose' of the ADL's hypocrisy. An article in the Jerusalem Post yesterday steered the argument away from replacement to racism and 'white supremacy' in an attempt to separate the ADL stance from Tucker's. Knowing that the ADL would not have to face that accusation, they shifted their narrative so Tucker would have more of a challenge defending it in that context than themselves because of his ethnicity. It was a false narrative and slimy attempt to maneuver around being put to shame in front of the world.
