Communitarianism: America's Downward Path to Obscurity
By James T. Moore (09/19/07)
The American Dream is a reality that only can be attained with self-determination and freedom. And in America anything that hinders that in any way is reason for suspicion, concern, even contravening action.
So when I ran across an unfamiliar word--communitarianism--and found out what it means, a red flag went up. The word surfaced in “The United Nations’ Global Straightjacket”, a heavily-documented book, by Joan Veon, which reveals everything that the UN is doing to subvert the principles, values, culture, and heritage of America.
Communitarianism is a tricky word because it is long enough to be glossed over, obscure enough to sound harmless; and unattractive enough not to attract too much attention.
But don’t be fooled. If you happen to know someone who claims he is a communitarian and is proud of it, don’t take it for granted that has joined a new third party, and pat him on the back just yet. A communitarian is an individual who is a member or supporter of a communistic community.
Or, as Veon explains it, communitarianism is a new “marketing” concept, replacing the old communistic line of thinking, which passing time has turned into a non-sequitur for most Americans. Central to communitarianism (read: collectivism) is that no individual opinion should be dominant. Instead, individuals are “encouraged” to act for the “good” of the community. This suggests an authoritarian form of government, i.e. no opposition to THEIR way of thinking.
And just who are these THEY? Anyone who is an enemy of individuality, self-determination and freedom. While the New World Order they are trying to peddle is supposed to exist as a global “community”, it still needs leadership---THEIR leadership.
The fact is, communitarianism requires “reinventing government”, literally. Bill Clinton, in 1993, couldn’t have made it more clear---for his own purposes, of course: “We intend to redesign, to re-invent, to reinvigorate the entire national government.” And Al Gore, not wanting to be too badly upstaged, referred to we-the-people as “customers”, instead of citizens.
But, Veon tells us, communitarianism is more than just reinventing government, it’s reinventing communism, by giving it a new, harmless-sounding, non-intrusive name. Before you say this is nit-picking, or an innocent play on words, or linguistic mumbo jumbo, consider the following facts
-- Communitarianism is taking hold not just in America, but on a global basis, including, of all places, in the Soviet Union.
-- Communitarianism is one of the important principles of the United Nations; thus a vital plank in the UN charter.
--Communitarianism requires wealth redistribution on a world-wide basis, for global economic security. This means decentralized control of wealth creation. (Read: plunder, legal or otherwise)
--Communitarianism (or reinventing the government) necessitates changing the U.S. Constitution to fit a New World Order agenda, adopting global programs for social security, an international monetary system, school-to-work programs, environmental mandates, etc., with the United Nations playing the “protective” Big Brother role.
--Communitarianism negates individual and independent thinking, which is clearly apparent in all the actions and agendas of the global planners.
Author Leonard Piekoff’s take on it is this: “The theory is that the group (the collective) has primacy over the individual. Collectivism holds that in human affairs the collective, the society, the community, the nation, the race, etc. is the unit of reality, the standard of value. In this view, the individual has reality only as part of the group, and value only so far as he serves it. On his own he has no political rights. He is to be sacrificed for the group whenever it---or its representative, the state---deems this desirable.” In short, communiterianism.
Our founding fathers came to America to escape tyranny of all kinds. Including being serfs under a master. They wanted freedom and self-determination and wrote a Constitution and Bill of Rights to guarantee it. In their day, a United Nations would have been unthinkable. Even the word communitarianism would scared hell out of them.
So, we have a choice to make: keep and defend our constitutional government, which places individual rights above all else; or be suckered into a communitarian fiat-government that puts group rights above the individual. The future of America waits for us to make up our minds.
And all this time you thought communism was dead.
