Communism, Fascism, Globalism — What's the Difference?
September 20, 2023
By J.B. Shurk
Globalism: A system of government marked by the elimination of national sovereignty and the centralization of authority within international organizations such as the United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Economic Forum — all run by a small group of wealthy elites.
Monarchy, communism, fascism, globalism — what's the difference? At the end of the day, we are talking about a system of government in which centralized power belongs to a small group of elites who use their control over economic, military, and intelligence-collecting institutions to rule over everyone else. Whether it is a government run by Mussolini, a king, the self-described "proletariat," or an international cabal of central banks and corporations — it is a dictatorship all the same.
Let's not pretend that raw "democracy" is significantly different. As early-twentieth-century sociologist Robert Michels laid out in his treatise, "Political Parties," an "iron law of oligarchy" guarantees that a small group of elites eventually rise to "rule over" any form of democratic organization. Representative democracy, Michels argued, is a "facade" that legitimizes the continuing "rule" of some elite class.
Administrators, bureaucrats, and political leaders love to talk about "democracy" because doing so buttresses their pretense that the people are actually in control. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is the "ruling class" that hoards power, and the more any elite member speaks of "democracy," the more certain you can be that the elites are actively betraying the overall will of the people. No matter how much this hurts, remember, you asked for it — because this is a "democracy"!
Note that a member of the "ruling class" or one of its controlled institutions (such as Wikipedia) could easily use the above paragraphs to vilify "populism." Think about the doublespeak tightrope that the "ruling class" now walks:
Democracy: A system of political government controlled by the common people.
Populism: Political ideas and policies that are supported by the common people.
Crikey, that's a distinction without a difference! All the "very best people," though, are always telling us that "democracy" is very important and that "populism" is very dangerous. How could it possibly be that a "government by the people" is wonderful, but that ideas "popular among the people" are terrible? Well, this kind of political doublespeak makes perfect sense if democracy in practice really just means "rule by a small group of elites." If that's the case, then of course the small group of elites actually in control of the "democracy" have no interest in hearing what the common people really think. To save democracy, we must deprive the people of their voice! Quick, censor everyone on social media who dares to think and speak freely!
This whole globalist march toward a New World Order is taking us to a place where Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros, their clones, a few royal families, a few multinational investment firms, a handful of central bank pirates, and a small club of international politicians can sit around a circular table adorned with a map of the world under their oppressive control. Even then, with the whole world belonging to a few dozen people (sprinkled with a politically correct ratio of races, ethnicities, and made-up genders, of course), the ruling dictators will haughtily chortle, "This is what democracy looks like."
They would be right. In practice, "democracy" looks a lot like a small cabal of ruling elites forcing everyone else to obey their commands. Whenever sane people reach the mistaken conclusion that they are actually in charge of their own government, they are quickly reminded that all dissent must be met with political persecution, lawless surveillance, unjust arrest, and censored speech — you know, the standard J6 treatment.
Mass protests against vote fraud and in support of free and fair elections are arguably the essence of real democracy — unless "democracy" really just means rule by the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, McConnells, Pelosis, the Federal Reserve, the Intelligence Community, and the wealthiest, woke-iest ESG-DIE-supporting elites. In that case, real democracy must be punished as insurrectionist treason. The people must be made to believe that they are governing themselves but can never be allowed to actually do so.

I would call it Secular Humanism guided by the Humanist Manifestos l, ll, lll. It is man replacing the one true God in solving all problems in humankind even with the use of false religions. It effects ALL nations and it's doomed to failure.

Firstly, man cannot replace God. He might think so, but that's impossible.
Secondly, most of the problems of humankind were created by man. Thus, man's ability to fix them are slim to none.
And finally, should any/all nations follow the false religion(s)... they will be doomed to failure.
FWIW
