COVID-19 Restrictions: Fascist Policies Using Socialist Logic

There are four stages to socialist logic:

  1. It works
  2. It works better if everybody does it
  3. It only works if everybody does it
  4. It only works if everybody does it and it is the only thing that will work. Therefore everyone against it is your enemy.

You will have seen this logic many times before. It was first used with socialism itself. Socialism was sold as being better than capitalism in every way. People simply needed to embrace it and their lives would improve.

It was supposed to increase production and quality of life for everyone who participated. Then, when small communes were clearly a failure, suddenly it would work better if everyone did it. Then, when people weren’t interested, everybody HAD to do it.

80% socialist?  It’ll never work (something we actually both agree on!).

Finally, because people were still not buying it, it was sold as the only way. Capitalism is in crisis and will collapse. Humanity is in danger. Socialism is the only way and everyone who isn’t a socialist is an absolute danger to society.

It’s the same with the NHS. We couldn’t possibly have an NHS just for those who cannot afford healthcare (a very small number). It has to exist for everyone or it will never work, and it’s the only system that could possibly work.

Education? Private schools are dangerous, according to these fanatics. The historical examples are endless.

Let’s compare this logic with what we’re being told today.

Masks don’t protect you. They only protect others. Therefore, every single person must wear them. It’s the only thing that will work and there’s no other option. Sound familiar?

Everyone must lock down. Not just the vulnerable.

Vaccines will only work if the entire population is vaccinated. There is no other way to fight this disease. The unvaccinated are a serious threat.

It’s clear that this is all socialist logic. Which is why I think, in my opinion inaccurately, people are describing the current restrictions as socialist. But let’s take a look at fascism, for a moment.

What is fascism?

According to Mussolini, it’s a merger between corporations and the state.

Fascism is a far right ideology, so what’s “right wing”? Right wing policies are all about control and order (as opposed to left wing, which is all about ownership). Right wing policies include regulation and licencing. When you reach the far right, these policies lead to cartels.

So now let us look at some of the current restrictions, putting aside for a moment the logic used to sell them.

Lockdowns are a form of severe regulation. They even came through in the form of regulations (this isn’t just a description I’m using). Mask wearing was one of these regulations.

Vaccines are paid for by the state and produced by selected big pharmaceutical corporations who have been given immunity from prosecution. They are the nearest thing to a cartel that we currently have.

Proof of vaccination and negative test results are both forms of licence.  Papers please?

This is why I think it is incorrect to describe the current restrictions as socialist. They all fall under the definitions of fascism in every way.

Why are the left so keen on them, though? I hear you ask.

Once you understand the left, it all makes sense. The left just want power over you. It’s not about providing for the poor or maximising happiness for everyone. It’s simply power. Because of this, the only question they ever ask themselves is “What do I have to do or say to get you to do what I want?”

This isn’t something new, either. The left have been calling for more regulation for years. Ed Milliband, voted in as the Labour Party leader by the far left unions made it his mission to increase regulation on the energy sector. Labour Party manifestos, including under lifelong self identifying socialist Jeremy Corbyn, have been full of regulation increases for decades.

Why do they do this?

The left know that the easiest way to increase the size of the state is through fascism. They see fascism as a stepping stone to socialism, and they’re not wrong. It’s far easier to nationalise industries when fewer businesses exist and everyone is an obedient statist drone.

They also know that with increased regulation, standards will fall and industries will suffer. Socialism is a far easier sell when things aren’t working. Take railways as an example. Surveys suggest that the general public is in favour of nationalising them now that regulation and an incompetent National Rail is killing them.

A sad irony to all this is that those who have been shouting “Fascism!” at almost everything for the past few years cannot see it when it’s right in front of them.

I see different groups of people, here.

  1. There are those on the left who know exactly what they’re doing. They know fascism is a stepping stone.
  2. There are those on the left who, for whatever reason, have been taken in by all of it. Let us not forget that, until recently, these people would have been the first to point out, correctly in my view, the dangers of the big pharmaceutical companies. One thing is for sure – fascism has never been good for your health.
  3. There are those on the right who fall for the socialist rhetoric and fail to identify the current problems we face as fascism.  While thinking they look nuanced and sophisticated, they are merely useful idiots for the left.

The first group need to be shown for what they are.  The rest need to be shown the error of their ways.

The original definition of the word “woke” was intended to mean having woken up to what is happening. Well, people need to wake up to fascism. And fast. Because, while socialism may be the goal, it will never happen. Fascism will destroy us before then.

Stopping all this is both easy, and hard. What needs to be done is peaceful non-compliance:

  1. Don’t wear a mask
  2. Refuse to socially distance
  3. Ignore lockdowns
  4. Ignore requests from your place of work to provide your vaccine status

We have a right to see our friends, hug our families and for people to see the expressions on our faces. We have a right to breathe easily. We need to stand up for these rights more than ever before.

Some of these aren’t difficult, some will take courage. Unfortunately, we need more and more people to do it. They’ll never manage to enforce all the ridiculous restrictions if enough people ignore them. The British public can become ungovernable.

It’ll only work if we all do it. Hang on, have I heard that somewhere before…

Don’t worry. Only doomed ideologies need everyone to follow. Historically, once 10% of people try to influence the rest on a given topic, behaviours dramatically change. And we don’t need many to make it impossible for the state to enforce their tyranny.

There are more of us than you realise

This edition, Andrew tries to find the number of people who haven’t succumbed to experimental gene therapy in the UK. Is it comparable to the support for major political parties?

There’s a sizable chunk of people who aren’t going back for a second dose as well. Are they on our side or have they just had a bad reaction?

We talk about the flip flopping on vaccine passports, the evils of jabbing children, and the facts surrounding the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Oh, and Andrew has some rather harsh words to say about Chris Whitty…

Vaccine Passport Exemptions

In this episode, we discuss the medical exemptions you can self declare in order to attend venues or events that insist on (or by law are mandated to use) the UK Covid Pass.

Is there a window of opportunity now where we can avoid both testing and vaccines in order to go about our daily lives?

Does this mean you’ll need the certification from a government doctor?

If you can self identify as a different gender, can you self identify as immune to SARS-CoV-2?

And in a rare moment of contrition, Andrew has an apology to make…

Testosterone Passports and Eating Meat

This week, Andrew did a rare thing. He wrote a blog post.

Inspired by the recent talk of Covid Passports, he wondered if this new technology could be used for something else. Something good. The final idea? Testosterone Passports! Nic and Andrew discuss this completely serious and not at all funny idea in full.

They then move on to another health related topic: dieting. Nic has been trying out a new diet for the past few months. He explains how he’s taken the 5% meat plan that limp wristed leftists advocate and turned it on its head. He explains how.

Hear Me Out… Testosterone Passports

Yes yes, I know. I’ve been highlighting the folly of Covid Passports for months. I’ve said that they’re essentially implementing a caste system alongside a mobile tracking app and that this is possibly the worst loss of freedom in the west for hundreds of years. I’ve compared them to the “Papers Please” culture of East Germany and asked people to consider whether they’d be so enthusiastic about them if they were for, say, HIV.

But, if the battle has been lost, and I’m not saying it has (yet), but if it has, then maybe there’s a way to use this technology for good. I give you: The Testosterone Passport

I can hear you already: “Andrew, what are you thinking?”

So, here’s the rationale. Testosterone is an essential hormone, for men and women. Now, I’m only advocating testosterone passports for men. Aside from my obvious ‘lived experience’, I’m genuinely interested in the data around this and I have none for levels of estrogen (or other female hormones) in women. Although, I’m sure we can work something out.

Testosterone is most commonly linked with things like muscle mass, sex drive etc.. But there’s evidence to suggest it’s also linked with feelings of self worth, personal responsibility, determination, faster injury recovery and a whole host of other positive benefits. People with higher testosterone levels also tend to be on the more libertarian end of the spectrum. Think about it. Where are you most likely to see low test soy boys? At your local NRA meeting or a commie get together?

Let us not forget when male journalists at Marx loving Buzzfeed had their testosterone levels checked. Every single one was below average and 75% of them were dangerously low (well outside the normal range). I think it’s clear: Testosterone is objectively a good thing in men.

But what happens when men dont have an adequate supply of this life saving hormone?

Let’s take boundaries, as an example. Low T left wing men aren’t good with them. At all. Is it any wonder the guys shouting about open borders and free movement are the ones who don’t understand any other type of boundary, personal or otherwise? Whether it’s Occupy London or Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, these guys always end up committing sexual assault. It’s no coincidence. And in general how many left wing activists are accused of rape? Far more than the average.

Testosterone has been given a bad rap in recent years, but it’s far from deserved. We need to turn this around and, at the same time, protect fine people from soy infused ne’er-do-wells.

How would it work? Well, we’re already a test culture. Test as in test, not test as in testosterone (more’s the pity). People regularly test themselves for SARS-COV-2, right now. We just need them to switch to testing for something far more dangerous: low testosterone. Once tested, your T status will automatically be updated on your NHS Test and Trace app (we don’t even need to change the name). You will then be tracked and, if your levels are too low, shunned & avoided.

Of course testosterone levels vary in individuals, but it’s not like there are no options for the soy inflicted. There are plenty of natural testosterone boosters you can take, as well as estrogen suppressors (to give you more bang per buck from your T). If these aren’t enough, you could try pro-hormones, which are basically mini steroids that give you a small boost of testosterone in the form of a tablet. They’re fine, but they do go through your liver, so you may want to opt for injections, which are a lot safer. Doctors already give older men testosterone shots. Why not Marxists? Of course, if you’re already ‘roided up to the eyeballs, you have nothing to worry about.

“What about the trans community?” I hear you ask.

Well, trans men already take a LOT of testosterone, so they’re probably not an issue at all. I can guarantee that 95% of them would beat all buzzfeed male journos in an arm wrestle, at the very least. The only group of concern would be trans women. Now, biology is the most important thing of course, but it would be ridiculous to expect all trans women to maintain male levels of testosterone. We’re not bigots. The criteria for needing these tests is so obviously simple: male genitalia

Testicles? Test and trace.
