The Nazi Party, the Communist Party, David DuKKKe, Noam "Genocide is
Understandable" Chomsky, and Bill "Didn’t Make Enough Bombs" Ayers have all
endorsed the Occupants. That's fine company!

If your intention is to appear slightly mad and wildly incoherent,
congratulations on your spectacular success.
We're talking about a peaceful, democratic protest that has gone on for more
than a month and has spread to a thousand cities all over the world. They claim
to speak for the lower class, the bottom 99%. Their radical agenda is to be
neither jobless nor homeless.
And you think it's reasonable to say this is class warfare endorsed by Nazis,
Commies, Klansmen, bomb throwers and genocide lovers?
Are you listening to yourself? This is what a child would say after listening
to Rush Limbaugh for a week.
"...In a subject-object understanding of the world these terms have no meaning.
There is no such thing as "human rights." There is no such thing as moral
reasonableness. There are subjects and objects and nothing else. ..This soup
of sentiments about logically nonexistent entities can be straightened out by
the Metaphysics of Quality. It says that what is meant by "human rights" is
usually the moral code of intellect-vs-society, the moral right of intellect to
be free of social control. Freedom of speech; freedom of assembly, of travel;
trial by jury; habeas corpus; government by consent—these "human rights" are
all intellect-vs-society issues. According to the Metaphysics of Quality these
"human rights" have not just a sentimental basis, but a rational, metaphysical
basis. They are essential to the evolution of a higher level of life from a
lower level of life. They are for real."
"Phaedrus thought that no other historical or political analysis explains the
enormity of these forces as clearly as does the Metaphysics of Quality. The
gigantic power of socialism and fascism, which have overwhelmed this century,
is explained by a conflict of levels of evolution. This conflict explains the
driving force behind Hitler not as an insane search for power but as an
all-consuming glorification of social authority and hatred of intellectualism.
His anti-Semitism was fueled by anti-intellectualism. His hatred of communists
was fueled by anti-intellectualism. His exaltation of the German volk was
fueled by it. His fanatic persecution of any kind of intellectual freedom was
driven by it."
It's certainly possible to talk about Nazis, Commies and democracy within the
context of the MOQ. But childish rants aren't helpful. Quite the opposite.
