The Anecdote of the Enemy
Sloth paints what exactly are we fighting against
The Realization
Living in Asia awakened something in Sloth: the realization that no one here knows what the hell is going on. Or better yet, who or what is besieging our spiritual walls.
No one seemed to understand Marxism. They had been distracted, possibly bamboozled by the various needs to make either a living or handle the most normie possible life. Even young men—who should be, by all accounts, the most in tune to what's about to kill them—are so drunk on distraction and culture trends they didn't realize the country is dying under their noses.
TikTok and Emo are truly where motivation goes to die. Sloth is sad. Hell, Thai media even pulls up those damn nonsenses and television dramas daily to keep this distraction game going until we all keel over.
Hence, this is high time we name the enemy besieging our defensive lines, trace its origins, and expose its tactics. The poison didn't emerge from nowhere—it has a pedigree, a prophet, and a plan. Most of us will not need this article; we already know who and what to blame. But posterity and the newly red-pilled require someone to keep the record, and Sloth will now take that duty.
It All Started in the Greatest of Times
The Industrial Revolution marked, without a doubt, the highest point of human prosperity: the creation of mechanical mass production, the ballooning of population and food supply, as well as the enlightenment and education systems which soon followed.
But not all change comes without sin. The inequality of that era, the wave of atheism, and hardship of factory work had come into play. The state of life not seen before in human history demanded a new framework to understand the world, an explanation and solution for this new suffering.
And a man rose to fill shoes never meant for him. His name was Karl Marx, and 30% of what's about to happen to our society can be blamed on this guy.
On Marxism
Karl Marx, 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883, was a secularized Jew and German philosopher. Despite being born into an upper middle-class family, Marx—somehow—fell into extreme poverty resulting in the deaths of three of his children. He relied heavily on the assistance of his friend (Friedrich Engels, son of a wealthy textile manufacturer and businessman) and his wife's inheritance.
That's right. Despite having a PhD in philosophy, a university education of the highest degree of his time, a connection to a wealthy friend, and a loyal wife by twenty-five—something most men today would be infinitely grateful for, and would likely find endless ways to succeed with—Karl Marx, thinking himself too important to work a day in his life, instead focused on politics, drinking, and economics, letting his children starve while proudly sculpting the most damning and naive philosophy which resulted in the deaths of millions.
To the uninitiated, Sloth is not joking about the deaths. Look up Stalin and Mao.
But to understand why Marx's delusion has screwed this generation over to the brink of Sodom, we must first explain what it is.
The best way to do so is to read the Communist Manifesto, but even Sloth was hesitant to torch his brain cells on that little pamphlet; he will save that unpleasant torture for another time.
Instead, this is the layman summary:
How Marx Sees Reality
"In the social production that men carry on, they enter into definite relations that are indispensable and independent of their will, relations of production which correspond to a definite stage of development of their material forces of production. The sum total of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which rises a legal and political superstructure, and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production in material life determines the general character of the social, political, and intellectual processes of life. It is not the consciousness of men which determines their existence; it is on the contrary their social existence which determines their consciousness."
In layman's terms, Marx's entire worldview is drawn around class consciousness. Every one of his works reflects this to some level. In his view, the spiritual structure of society could be divided into two groups: the working class, or proletariat, who input their labor, and the bourgeoisie who controlled the means of production. The condition of society is thus correlated to the means of production available to men at the base of society.
And according to Marx, man is thus:
"first of all a natural being. As a natural being and a living natural being, he is endowed on the one hand with natural powers, vital powers…; these powers exist in him as aptitudes, instincts. On the other hand, as an objective, natural, physical, sensitive being, he is a suffering, dependent and limited being…, that is, the objects of his instincts exist outside him, independent of him, but are the objects of his need, indispensable and essential for the realization and confirmation of his substantial powers."
From these two assumptions, Marx formed the idea that history is man's struggle to satisfy his needs, bending the natural world to his will through labor. And through the by-product of said labor, he gained consciousness. God and supernatural forces did not exist for Marxists, for man and his labor are sufficient by themselves.
The problem with the industrial revolution, and the current world, is the alienation—the mismatch between man's input and the benefit he reaped. Things he created are not his; they are the product of his employer, his master. His labor and rights are no longer subject to his will. He is alienated from his purpose because ‘capitalism bad’.
Economy According to Marx
For the reasons highlighted above, Marx came to view capitalist society as the bourgeois class misappropriating the means to labor, and the associated cycle of recession and boom as unstable and contradictory.
"Surplus value is produced by the employment of labour power. Capital buys the labour power and pays the wages for it. By means of his work the labourer creates new value which does not belong to him, but to the capitalist. He must work a certain time merely in order to reproduce the equivalent value of his wages. But when this equivalent value has been returned, he does not cease work, but continues to do so for some further hours. The new value which he produces during this extra time, and which exceeds in consequence the amount of his wage, constitutes surplus value."
And thus a revolution is needed.
A really horribly thought-out one.
"The bourgeois relations of production are the last contradictory form of the process of social production, contradictory not in the sense of an individual contradiction, but of a contradiction that is born of the conditions of social existence of individuals; however, the forces of production which develop in the midst of bourgeois society create at the same time the material conditions for resolving this contradiction. With this social development the prehistory of human society ends."
Through revolution, either violent clash between two classes at its extreme boiling point or through coalition of sympathizers, the capitalistic norms common to the industrial revolution will be substituted by a Utopia for the Proletariat where the power of the state and legislation which had protected the bourgeoisie's control over the means of production falls into their hands.
And if that sounds like a fairy tale, it is because it certainly is fictitious daydreaming.
Foundational Failures of Marxism
Marx, being a secularist, didn't think much outside of material reality. We know, for a concrete fact, he had a dim view of religion. It is not difficult to envision how the modern world is partially his bastard offspring because of how little it can conceptualize what exists beyond metaphorical concrete.
Man is not the master of this world. That implies the world is not alive; that we are somehow immune to solar flares, tsunamis, time, and the consequences of our actions. The metaphysics, the soul, is real. It exists in timing, practice, and work made out of love. Karl Marx's means of production did not consider the calculated wisdom, the ability to take and shoulder risk, or the sheer determination to succeed that underpins human psychology. His view of human history is the view of someone envious of others' success without comprehending the sheer grit needed to win from nothing. He lived in an era where centuries of warfare, grim determination, and wisdom created a society where millions could be fed and clothed; yet he complained about how he—the "Proletariat" who got by on Engels', a capitalist's, charity—was a righteous victim and needed a revolution.
It is the view of an atheist stuck up with no ability to self-reflect, thinking he is greater than he is. A type of general who blames marshland for stopping his campaign, while more competent men find a way around the problem. Moreover, with the advent of AI and the internet, the means of production and dissemination can fit into anyone pocket for cheap, rendering one of Karl’s vital premises utterly pointless.
But credit where it is due, Marx—with aid from many of his predecessors—did identify a source of much turmoil: the inherent inequality, the feeling of men being reduced to cogs, and massive resentment building into a storm. And while he did write down his dream scenario for his followers, the method to get there is not written (because there is none).
This allowed his many bastard ideological descendants to make their own interpretations. Part of his work featured the need for governmental control over the means of production to the single point of failure, and anyone moderately familiar with government knows it is power-hungry, dictatorial, and incompetent once it gets too powerful. Thus many, like Stalin and Mao, actually used his philosophy as a means to seize and keep power with catastrophic consequences.
Worse, the fundamental parts of those problems have not been solved yet, and Marxist movement has only gotten more ridiculous once the opportunists jumped in.
The Opportunist
The original Marxists, that unholy product of the Industrial Revolution, had dropped the forced worker revolution after the Cold War and World Wars failed to deliver their promised utopia. However, the aspiration had not gone away. Instead, they sought to change the world through culture. To paraphrase Marx himself: they attempted to bend nature through their will (human nature, that is).
This resulted in the Frankfurt School, a branch of Marxist thought, infiltrating academia. Where Marx focused on economic oppression, these Neo-Marxists expanded the critique to every aspect of human existence—art, family, religion, tradition, even language itself. Their "critical theory" became a weapon to deconstruct civilization and tradition which held humanity together, piece by piece (the West suffers this first; if not stopped, we will follow). Meanwhile, their obsession with social engineering promised to perfect human nature through careful cultural manipulation. They would succeed where Marx failed, not by seizing the means of production, but by seizing the means of perception.
Their stealth takeover of Ivy League universities such as Columbia and Harvard turned these institutions into recruitment and dissemination centers of this ideology, training the next generation with worldviews which sought to put the "Proletariat" (namely their global elite class) on top. These impressionable minds were inducted into seeing production and power relations as the sole drivers of human existence, an arrogance further empowered by the Frankfurt School's fervent belief that human nature could be perfected through social engineering.
These students—heirs to power and influence—then entered government and business with these mindsets and assumptions in all their amoral, soulless unglory. Through the power they earned, via state and NGOs (WEF, WHO, any institution founded after 1950, state or otherwise) they began erecting, they sought to browbeat populations into submission over this assumed moral goal, increasing governmental control over every aspect of life—ignorant of the fact they had become the very problem they claimed to solve.
It is the greatest psyop known to man.
With the church weakened and outdated, no one could stop them. Meanwhile, like most opportunistic entities, the corporate world—instead of resisting the call of the devil—sought to benefit from this movement in the name of profit and power.
The corporatists—utilizing the increasing dependence of the population on the state, empowered as Marxist academics and politicians proceeded to hijack societal norms—then allied with the Marxists to subsume a rapidly lobotomized civilization into an easily controllable, disposable workforce who mindlessly and thoughtlessly consume. It's an unholy alliance. The Marxists get to be overlords, while the corporatists get to make gobsmacking amounts of money from these new "cattle."
From the creator to the bastard descendants, a machine that sought to force the soul of mankind into grim cubicles to be harvested like human batteries was created over the course of the twentieth century. A creation motivated by endless greed and envy.
May Hope Burn Bright
For the past hundred years, the Neo-Marxist ascension appeared unstoppable. People either chose to follow them in the name of cultural appreciation, or blatantly ignored the obvious in the name of comfort. The birthrate across the planet has cratered as the "cattle" no longer have the will to reproduce, being lorded over by institutions that hate them and exploited by corporations that see them as ATMs. The female mind, being the most compliant, had turned women into wives of the state, pawns of the Marxists, and through their influence men had to bend over backward into succumbing.
The toxic culture it spawned is killing people through despair. This can be seen in Japan, China, and Korea where suicide rates have skyrocketed and no one seems to care because they ran afoul of the masters of this grim Matrix.
But hope remains, and now it blooms.
The Human Order had refused this travesty. Slowly, many are waking from this delusive dream through the process of "red-pilling." The enemy has been identified. The purge will begin. From the wellspring of myths that refuse to be silenced, heroes will spring forth to combat this existential poison.
The process of detoxification will not be fun. The enemy has imposed an order of evil, and chaos unknown since the days of the Wild West will be needed to dislodge it. And what is the internet but a force of raw chaos for good and ill? Our enemies are not equipped to fight in the Web and the culture of KEK (sheer chaos) spawned by 4Chan—how ironic that they have become what they sought to destroy by means of resisting.
Once the way of PEPE spread, Sloth don’t think preaching from the UN or credit deduction from S&P will work this time. GG, corporatist, you have a good run now let see what is on Pirate Bay.
With Trump's campaign to bring the universities to heel, the wellspring of the enemy has been cut. Once the NGOs lose their funding, our victory will be a formality.
Only time will tell when this Marxist order ends, but let the record of its existence and tactics be kept for the study of those who come after us. (Yes, it means you fellow chads should comment below to add to this archive.)
Sloth, signing off.
