Liberalism has marked its role as the rightful heir of God when it declared the sacredness of the individual--an individual who is a complete autonomous ghost that hovers over the world. All these ghosts, granted with divine equality, are treated the same by the beautiful phantom of Liberal Democracy!
The bourgeosie demonstrated its own inability to kill God when Robespierre declared Thérèse Momoro as the Goddess of Reason. The new "secular priests", with their constitutional bibles, preach the cult of the mutliated God of "Liberalism". Everywhere these stupid secular evangelicals declare that the opinion of the majority--a majority composed of ghastly entitities divorced of the material world--is the absolute truth.
The Democratic lie is based on the misconception that a society conformed by antagonistic classes is conformed by one, supreme interest. To the Liberal democrat the vote of the exhausted worker, the rich capitalist, and the homeless lumpen is the same: everybody is a spook divorced from material realities, everybody enjoys the same intellectual faculties--and most importantly, everybody's interests are similar.
It is no surprise to anyone that economic power equals to ideological power. Since the beginning of civilization, mainstream ideology has served the ruling class. God served the monarchy with the "divine rights of kings", and today ideology serves the "divine right of capitalists". Societies always try to justfy their modes of of being, and their modes of being always lay founded on those who have the economic power. It is laughable to consider that the people raised by the television, school, work ethic, church, and family will offer autonomous, independent opinions. They will only offer, at least generally, the dominant opinion, which is deeply rooted to the way society is structured.
I recur to the "ghost metaphor" because the naive liberal democrat argues for an idealized man, separated from the world. An idealized man that is not subject to the dominant opinion, which, unless the process of societal decomposition sparks, the dominant opinion will always be serving the dominant class.
The vicious cycle of ideological domination is broken when society is unable to justify itself anymore. It is when decomposition kicks in, when warfare is openly declared. When society is unable to justify itself anymore, the ruling class always resorts to the most horrible methods to secure its rule. When the Democratic lie loses its credibility, it is when we see the bullets flying to the heart of Ferrer. The spectres of Porfirio Diaz and Francisco Franco are my witnesses.
People who hold a "new word in their hearts" cannot always depend on the opinions of the mayority. We should not measure our ideas based on the crude arithmetic of the democratic farse--we only measure their merit based on the metric of human emancipation. Just because slavery was an accepted idea in 1850 it doesn't means we should accept it.

silly libertarians

Mainstream commentatiors are starting to gain a bit of common sense.
The article basically says that the Bush Adminstration is starting to put aside the free market rhetoric and intervening in the economy--especially in the housing department. The Administration says that without doing this, millions of Americans would lose their homes.
The stupid cult of the unfettered, free market has much more to do with metaphysics than a sane analysis of economics and history. The intervention of the state on the economy was actually what saved capitalism--it did away with those cyclical depressions, trusts etc.
Left Communists--those who claim the theoretical heritage from the left wing opposition of the Comintern--have a very interesting analysis on this trend. They recognized that the Market showed a tendency towarss centralization, and more importantly, to planification under the heel of the state. They called this state-capitalism, and according to them, it was a trend found in all corners of the capitalist market. Not only did they call the USSR, Vietnam, China, etc state-capitalist, but they said that even the US, Netherlands, etc had a tendency toward state-capitalism, albeit not as strongly as in places like the USSR.
State-capitalism was a perfection--not a regression. It is state-capitalism what created the modern middle class, what dealt with cyclical depressions--and more importantly--what homogenized ideology. That is why those stupid Paulites are retarded as hell. They don't understand that their "capitalism" is only the primitive, retarded version of the present form of capitalism.
The economy is already basically planned. State-economists create policy by assuming, almost with mathematical precision, how the market forces are going to act. Then they know which parts of the market need to be stimulated, and then they try to predict what will happen. A friend once told me that he was told by an Economist with a PHD that the market is increasingly becoming more mathematically predictable--and it is easy to agree with him. The increasing centralization of the economy under a few corporations, the new modern, real trusts, makes things increasingly more predictable compared to the days of old, anarchic capitalism.
State-capitalism is indeed, the highest form of capitalism.
