"The extreme Left didn't succeed in staging a violent revolution in
the West, so they decided to go for a permanent, structural
revolution instead."
From the desk of Fjordman
I've received some criticism for trying to figure out the ideological
and historical roots of Multiculturalism. Critics claim that it's all
about hate, about a desire to break down the Established Order at any
cost. Many of the proponents don't believe in the doctrine of
Multiculturalism themselves, so we shouldn't waste any time analyzing
the logic behind it, because there is none. A desire to break down
Western society is certainly there, but I do believe there are some
ideas about the desired end result articulated as well.
On one hand, we're supposed to "celebrate" our differences at the same
time as it is racist and taboo to recognize that any differences
between groups of people exist at all. This is hardly logically
coherent, which is why Multiculturalism can only be enforced by
totalitarian means. Perhaps it boils down to the fact there are no
major differences, just minor quirks, all cute, which should be
celebrated at the same time as we gradually eradicate them.
We are told to treat cultural and historical identities as fashion
accessories, shirts we can wear and change at will. The Multicultural
society is "colorful," an adjective normally attached to furniture or
curtains. Cultures are window decorations of little or no consequence,
and one might as well have one as the other. In fact, it is good to
change it every now and then. Don't you get tired of that old sofa
sometimes? What about exchanging it for the new sharia model? Sure,
it's slightly less comfortable than the old one, but it's very much in
vogue these days and sets you apart from the neighbors, at least until
they get one, too. Do you want a sample of the latest Calvin Klein
perfume to go with that sharia?
We should remember that this view of culture as largely unimportant is
essentially a Marxist view of the world, which has now even been
adopted by segments of the political Right, united with Leftists in
the belief that man is homo economicus, the economic man, the sum of
his functions as worker and consumer, nothing more. Marxism doesn't
say that cultures or ideas are of absolutely no consequence, but that
they are of minor or secondary importance next to structural and
economic conditions.
I have heard individuals state point blank that even if Muslims become
the majority in our countries in the future, this doesn't matter
because all people are equal and all cultures are just a mix of
everything else, anyway. And since religions are just fairy-tales,
replacing one fairy-tale, Christianity, with another fairy-tale,
Islam, won't make a big difference. All religions basically say that
the same things in different ways. However, not one of them would ever
dream of saying that all political ideologies "basically mean the same
thing." They simply don't view religious or cultural ideas as
significant, and thus won't spend time on studying the largely
unimportant details of each specific creed. This is Marxist
materialism.
The unstated premise behind this is that the age of distinct cultures
is over. All peoples around the world will gradually blend into one
another. Ethnic, religious and racial tensions will disappear, because
mankind will be one and equal. It's cultural and genetic Communism.
Nation states who create their own laws and uphold their own borders
constitute "discrimination" and an obstacle to this new Utopia, and
will gradually have to be dismantled, starting with Western nations of
course, replaced by a world where everybody has the right to move
wherever they want to and where international legislation and human
rights resolutions define the law, upheld by an elite of - supposedly
well-meaning - transnational bureaucrats managing our lives.
What the proponents of this ideology don't say is that even if it were
possible to melt all human beings into one people, which is in my view
neither possible nor desirable, this project would take generations or
centuries, and in the intervening time there would be numerous wars
and enormous suffering caused by the fact that not everybody would
quietly allow themselves to be eradicated.
All aspects of your person, from language via culture to skin color
and religion, are treated as imaginary social constructs. We are told
that "all cultures are hybrids and borrow from each other," that we
were "all immigrants" at one point in time and hence nobody has a
right to claim any specific piece of land as "theirs."
Since "we" are socially constructed, we can presumably also be
socially deconstructed. The Marxist "counter-culture"of the 1960s and
70s has been remarkably effective at attacking the pillars of Western
civilization. It is, frankly, scary to notice how much damage just one
single generation can inflict upon a society. Maybe it's true that no
chain is stronger than its weakest link. Our education system is now
used to dismantle our culture, not to uphold it, and has moved from
the Age of Reason to the Age of Deconstruction. Socialism has
destroyed the very fabric of society. Our countries have become so
damaged that people feel there is nothing left fighting for, which no
doubt was the intention. Our children leave school as disoriented
wrecks and ideological cripples with no sense of identity, and are met
with a roar of outrage if they demonstrate the slightest inkling of a
spine.

Communism always ends in Distopia.
