Summary:
Leninism and Its Evolution
Concept of Leninism
- Leninism began with the notion that political parties are more effective in orchestrating political activities than individuals.
- Further, political parties attract a certain type of person - that type that obeys, and therefore can be trusted.
- Leninism grew from these principles, emphasizing structured control and organization within political movements.
- Once a party secures power, it will notice there is power to be had outside of parliament as well. (Executive, judiciary, the press, education, etc.)
Bio-Leninism: An Expansion
- Bio-Leninism extends the traditional Leninist approach by incorporating biological differences and societal statuses into its strategy.
- Some people just aren't capable of being successful at capitalism.
- Leninism focuses on gathering support from individuals considered low-status in society by promising them elevated status through political change.
- This approach leverages the inherent social and biological disparities among people to fuel its political momentum.
Political and Economic Parallels
Invisible Hand in Economics and Politics
- The concept of the "invisible hand" suggests that individuals seeking personal gain in an unrestricted environment contribute to the economy's overall efficiency.
- Similarly, in politics, the pursuit of power in a free political environment leads to the formation of structures designed to capture and consolidate that power.
Theory of the Firm
- Firms exist to reduce transaction costs and establish trust among economic actors, which individual transactions lack.
- This concept parallels political parties, which organize and streamline political efforts more efficiently than solitary individuals.
The Evolution of Power Structures
Formation of Political Parties
- Political parties don't need to do anything except be able to recruit committed people.
- Being unreasonable gets more loyal followers than being reasonable. This is true on both sides and leads to divergence between the sides.
- They emerged as mechanisms to systematically acquire power within parliaments and beyond.
- The expansion of these parties into various societal sectors demonstrates the relentless pursuit of power beyond initial political aims.
The Role of Socialism
- Socialism offered a refined approach to mobilizing low-status individuals by promising them a reversal of their fortunes.
- Reasonable, normal-ish people have a lot of options in society. Outcasts need commitment to a crazy plan.
- The ideology aligned closely with the interests of those discontented with their societal status under capitalism, providing a broad base of support.
The Gramscian Approach to Power
Gramscian Beaurocratic Incrementalism
- Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) was an Italian Marxist/Communist agitator, who wrote mostly while in prison.
- Gramsci proposed a gradual conquest of cultural and educational institutions to reshape societal norms and values in favor of leftist ideologies.
- This "long march through the institutions" (aka the War of Positions) aimed to infiltrate and dominate various power structures without direct confrontation or revolution.
Distributed Leninism
- The West witnessed the emergence of a more distributed form of Leninism, focusing on cultural dominance rather than outright political control.
- This approach has led to the progressive infiltration and influence over education, media, and other key societal institutions.
Implications for Society
Leftist Ideological Shift
- As societal conditions evolved, leftist strategies adapted to focus not on economic class struggle but on elevating those with various forms of low status.
- These people are pissed and resentful at anything "normal" in society, and they will do all they can to mess with society.
- This shift reflects the continuous adaptation of leftist strategies to recruit support from diverse social groups (those people who will never make it on their own for any reason).
- In a free society, the politics always move to the left.
The Quest for Absolute Power
- Despite the diffusion of leftist ideology across various sectors, the ultimate goal remains the concentration of power.
- The absence of a unified leader or party to stabilize this concentration of power has led to a continuous leftward drift in Western politics.
Conclusion
- The trajectory of Leninism and its offshoots underscores a relentless pursuit of power, utilizing both political organization and societal divisions.
- The ongoing influence of these ideologies suggests a profound impact on the structure and dynamics of power within society, continually evolving to incorporate new strategies and targets.
