Due to my intransigent efforts, the vile wikimob has made a minor concession, and drawn back from their combative, vicious really, slander on the worthy and courageous thought of Alexander Dugin. Printed now, at the time of this post, is: [Alexander Dugin]" is a Russian political analyst and strategist known for his fascist views."
Now he is said to have “fascist views”, rather than before when he was said to be a fascist. Placation, rather amoeba-sized, of the spiritual authority of intelligence.
“authority of the aristocratic class”
What is an “aristocratic class”? You don’t distinguish adequately aristocracy, rule of the most educated, or, as we would call it today, rule of the most qualified, from hereditary aristocracy. Today, aristocracy is split in a further sense. Technocracy and meritocracy are the two forms it takes. In China, technocracy took the form of rule of engineers for half a century, coming to inception under Mao.
Your account is simple nonsense. There was no “aristocracy” in the sense you mean historically. There were people whose adult life was absorbed in preparing for slaughter. This was not a pleasant life. This was not the FIRST, but, rather, Second estate. The high clergy, with the intellectual authority of RATIONALITY proper, which broke down under the chaos of revolt or Protestantism, leads us to the current period. You are misled by the century of rising commerce which left war waging a defunct manner of life, and so made the second estate, the fighters, seem like parasites in the face of the financiers.
Much greater grasp of history is needed to consider these difficulties. I am a student of the German tradition, established prior to the war, and so respect, therefore, Hannah Ardent, Leo Strauss, Jaspers and Heidegger, and so on, in these matters. The American education system, of which you are the result, is systematically defective. We all must have a serious basis for the discussion in cold and hard-headed analysis, rather than ideological aspiration and political distortions, of the fundamental points of human development to discuss such issues intelligently.
