Both Socialism and Zionism and resulting Israeli state as it exists today are repeats of a pattern that happens to homo sapiens quite often, they are just mistaken ideologies which for understandable reasons that have nothing to do with any kind of malice or “conspiracy” lured many bright and well-intentioned people to inadvertently do much harm. A similar example was the Catholic Church of centuries past as well as slavery and emergent coercive structures, these were ideologies that by today’s standards most of us would see as erroneous which were sustained by many bright and well-intentioned people following myths that made sense to them at the time.

Imagine you had a time machine and went back in time about 300 years to Salem, Massachusetts during the famed Salem witch trials where 19 women were hanged for witchcraft, and told people that slavery should be seen as an abomination, that women should have the same freedoms as men, that homosexuality should be tolerated and seen as part of homo sapiens, and that six million years ago we had a common ancestor with chimpanzees. People would see you as some devilish monstrosity spreading heretical-sinful ideas and quickly “conspire” to kill you. Even if you succeeded in persuading a few people, the rate at which your ideas could spread would likely be no match for the rate at which existing myths and the “incentive structure” of slave owners, religious leaders and the “experts” of their day would lead to your death. Would this mean that the people at the time were bad-malicious-”evil”? Or members of some “vast conspiracy” of “bad guys” or “special interests” trying to ‘take away your rights and freedoms’? Of course not. The people would be fellow homo sapiens acting based on the prevailing myths and incentive structures of the times. Even if you didn’t get killed, as the superior ideas spread they may end up doing far more harm than good. Perhaps their spread may lead to ultimately unsuccessful slave revolts, or a civil war that ends up making society more susceptible to conquest by an external power like the French or Spanish at the time. Thus we can see how the use of “reason” and spread of superior ideas or truths can end up doing far, far more harm than good given the existing myths and ‘incentive structures’ at the time. If you believed that people at the time were dumb or ‘malicious conspirators’ you’d be making a monumental error in your efforts to help them overcome existing myths. The same applies to understanding and overcoming all popular myths like Socialism and Zionism.

It is vitally important to always keep in mind the seemingly obvious fact that whether a fellow homo sapiens grows up to be a Socialist, Capitalist, Zionist, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Russian, American or whatever, or a much vilified “terrorist” that blows himself up while killing innocent civilians, it all comes down to the ideas-software and circumstances which lead it to act, and we must thus focus on the evolution of such ideas-software and avoid simplistic “evil” or “mad” analysis, or seek to “blame” people when complex evolutionary factors are the root causes of conflicts. As Ludwig von Mises tells us

“It is ideas that group men into fighting factions, that press the weapons into their hands, and that determine against whom and for whom the weapons shall be used. It is they alone, and not arms, that, in the last analysis, turn the scales.”

Mises again:

“Neither as judges allotting praise and blame nor as avengers seeking out the guilty should we face the past. We seek truth, not guilt; we want to know how things came about to understand them, not to issue condemnations.”

It is obvious that we should focus on the ideas instead of vilifying people and assuming sinister motives or madness as the source of our problems, yet the fact that this goes largely unnoticed as we constantly segregate ourselves along political-tribal lines is further evidence that we are dangerous slightly smarter tribal apes, and just as important as we will soon show, how little a role “reason” plays in creating and sustaining civilization compared to what we usually attribute to it. Focusing on the actions of individual men is irrelevant compared to the evolutionary processes that create the ideas, incentive structures and circumstances under which he acts. Without the proper evolutionary understanding of the world, as Herbert Spencer tells us:

”It is as though a child, seeing for the first time a tree from which a gardener is here cutting off a branch and there pruning away smaller parts, should regard the gardener, the only visible agent, as the creator of the whole structure: knowing nothing about the agency of sun and rain, air and soil. Undeveloped intelligences cannot recognize the results of slow, silent, invisible causes.”

We’ll begin by first looking at how Socialist mythology arose fooling so many homo sapiens into self-mutilation via the former Soviet Union and Maoist China. And then do likewise with Zionist mythology which helped spark World War Two and the disastrous creation of Israel, emerging Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and resulting wars and tensions which will likely lead to The Final World War as we are currently seeing via the polarizations arising from the recent Israel-Hamas war. We’ll finish by briefly proposing a One State Solution to the conflict.

Mises writes:

“History speaks only to those people who know how to interpret it on the ground of correct theories.”

Thus we begin by having the proper theoretical understanding of how the world works, for which we provide a brief summary of the socioeconomic ideas of Carl Menger and his so-called ‘Austrian School of Economics’ and men like Ludwig von Mises and his protégé 1974 Nobel Laureate in Economics F.A. Hayek (who happens to be Mick Jagger’s favorite economist).

The complete evolutionary worldview provided by ‘The Austrians’, leading to men like F.A. Hayek, is still so ridiculously far ahead of our time and mainstream intellectuals that even today’s leading thinkers, like renowned popular science writer Matt Ridley, by their own admission are ‘still catching up with him’. Ridley humbly acknowledges this in a 2011 speech where he mentions:

If these men’s ideas do not reach world leaders in time, as we hope it becomes obvious in the next hour, homo sapiens will self-destroy.

The workings of the biological and socioeconomic orders.

Living things and society are self-perpetuating orders that are in continuous cycles of wealth production and consumption. Production involves the transformation or relocation of matter to create wealth, and consumption transforms or relocates wealth-matter in a way that sustains or expands living things-orders and their internal parts-orders.

The Sun sends us photons-energy which the process of photosynthesis is able to store in chemical form. This energy is then used to power the cycles of production and consumption which relocate matter that makes up living things. If there is more production than consumption then the order is profitable and thus has additional wealth with which to sustain itself for longer periods and-or grow. For example, paramecium are single-celled life-forms that produce food-wealth by swimming around and swallowing small bacteria which they then consume by digesting and transforming them into the various nutrients-wealth needed to maintain and expand the paramecium’s internal order and thus life. A more complex multi-cellular animal like a person, is simply a collection of cells (which are themselves orders) which must be productive as a whole in order to produce and then consume the necessary wealth needed to nourish itself and the sub-orders, organs, cells, organelles it is composed of. Today we not only have biological order, we have social order, Herbert Spencer’s “Social Organism”, which is rapidly growing and increasing its ‘rate of production’, in other words, the rate at which it transforms the earth’s matter into human usable wealth-order-life-biomass. Every year, increasingly automated building-sized machinery in the mining industries scrape-mine less than 10 cubic miles of matter from the earth’s massive volume of 260 billion cubic miles. This matter is ‘collaboratively transformed’ or relocated by billions of people as trillions of dollars worth of wealth in terms of cars-computers-buildings-products-etc are produced thus increasing the word’s economic pie of wealth and ‘Social Organism’. We are natural selection’s latest and greatest creation. As Herbert Spencer writes:

“Instead of civilization being artificial, it is a part of nature; all of a piece with the development of the embryo or the unfolding of a flower.”

These continuous cycles of production and consumption require precise knowledge and information. If you understand how information guides the matter which leads to both the biological and socioeconomic orders, then you can understand how the world works. The biological order is created via the well-known mechanism of ‘biological evolution’ with genes being like the sentences which store the information necessary to create-coordinate life-order. Mutations cause new genes and thus new information to arise which leads to a different life-form which is then ‘naturally selected’ as it inadvertently competes with others, with the winner reproducing more and thus passing on more copies of the better-adapted-”fitter” genes-information-design to future generations.

The information that coordinates the social order emerges and spreads via economic competition which itself emerges from freedom and the tradition of private property.

Free people are motivated to discover the best information with which to increase the rate at which they transform or reorder the matter they exclusively control (their private property) to create wealth. Most of us transform our bodies in a manner that maximizes the value of the wealth in terms of labor, services, or products we produce and then trade with companies (employers) or the public. From our freedom to use or transform our ‘private property’ emerges the ‘freedom to trade’ it with anyone in the entire planet which inadvertently transforms mankind into a global supercomputer where companies are motivated to innovate and learn-copy from each other(competitors) thus inadvertently cooperate to create and spread superior information and subsequent social order throughout the world. For example, perhaps a Honda engineer in Tokyo, Japan invented power door locks, and thanks to the ‘economic competition’ which emerges from people’s freedom to only trade their wealth for what they calculate to be best, BMW, Ford, Toyota and other competitors had to also copy the power door locks idea and thus inadvertently spread superior information and subsequent order throughout the world. It is our freedom as consumers to trade our life-and-order-sustaining wealth for what we calculate to be best, and if we have superior information as producers to go into business, which motivates existing businesses(competitors) to innovate-compete-copy-learn. Just like in the Olympics we can discover the best athletes in the world due to global competition, so does having the ‘freedom to trade’ with everyone in the world allows the best ideas to compete and spread globally thus ensuring the best possible global order. Via advertising, competitors are motivated to spread the potential usefulness and superiority of their products-ideas as well as the defects-inferiority of their competitors thus accelerating the need to compete-copy-spread superior information and subsequent order. As cost-cutting ideas emerge and inevitably spread via competition leading relative prices to continuously fall, new profitable ideas easily arise and once again spread via competition in an endless cycle of knowledge generation-innovation. For example, computers were once very expensive, but once the price of making them came down enough, people easily realized that every home could have them, which gave birth to our computerized world and the Internet and all the great things that flow from it.

Morals are ways of acting; they too are knowledge which also emerges and spreads via economic competition to considerable degrees. It is hard-working, tolerant, courteous people, who thanks to competition, inevitably motivate everyone else to be likewise. As Hayek writes:

“Competition is, after all, always a process in which a small number makes it necessary for larger numbers to do what they do not like, be it to work harder, to change habits, or to devote a degree of attention, continuous application, or regularity to their work which without competition would not be needed.”

As millions of Italians, Britons, Germans, Jews and others from all over the world came to America, it was ultimately the competition which grows from ‘private property’ and thus individual liberty which stripped these people of their otherwise nationalistic, ethnocentric, tribalistic “identities” and evolved what came to be seen as the classic American character of wanting to be seen as a reputable and honest businessman or professional who treats everyone with respect and wears a business suit as opposed to older ethnocentric attires. Thus freedom and emerging “competitive knowledge discovery”, as opposed to leading to chaos, is what 1) enables and motivates the discovery and spread of superior information and subsequent social order, 2) civilizes us, 3) protects us from being coerced into doing something we don’t want and thus allows us to live our lives as we wish, 4) and is vital for discovering the truth. Freedom is the ultimate algorithm!

The role of governments and thus coercion should be minimized because governmental or ‘public sector’ bureaucracies, being coercive monopolies which get their life or order-sustaining wealth through taxes and compulsion are immune to the competitive-information-spreading incentives which motivate private sector entities to keep up with the competition in terms of information and hustle. Government plans can’t work if people are free to not go along with or fund them, so they inevitably require compulsion. The former Soviet Union had plenty of highly educated scientists and ‘experts’ whose plans required the coercion of millions as still happens in Cuba, but they were thoroughly crushed by free Americans and their ‘competitive knowledge discovery’. The “classic” night-time image below helps explain the difference between competitive-private-free orders and monopolistic-government-coerced orders. Keep your eye on how information arises and spreads via competition and continuously restructures the social order.

In the free-private-competitive sector information constantly moves and evolves as it is ‘tested’-refined-preferred by the comparisons to other information by billions of minds or customers thus ensuring superior information spreads and is ideally adapted to each specific time and place. This mechanism is destroyed by government regulations which are top-down, coercive-competitionless-monopoly information which is not subject to continuous improvement or replacement via competition so they paralyze entire industries slowing down ‘competitive knowledge discovery’, driving up costs (more lawyers-regulators-bureaucrats), and potentially making criminals out of people who harm nobody but just prefer to do things differently. Hayek reminds us:

“The argument for liberty is not an argument against organization, which is one of the most powerful tools human reason can employ, but an argument against all exclusive, privileged, monopolistic organization, against the use of coercion to prevent others from doing better.”

Compare the increasingly regulated-paralyzed healthcare sector which has grown from consuming less than 5% of the economic pie in 1960 to over 20% today culminating in the spectacular CovidMania tyranny, to the free-competitive IT sector where even the poorest of Americans can afford rapidly improving amazing cell phones and technology.

In the graph below one can see how the more regulated and thus competition immune a sector is (Hospital Services) the more expensive it becomes.

It is important to envision the socioeconomic order as it really exists as if looked at from high above. Envision people coming together and apart as companies emerge and dissolve in ever-changing conditions. Superior information arising-rippling-restructuring the social order thanks to economic competition. Each person and company using profit and loss calculation to ensure that it produces more than it consumes thus being profitable and growing the global socioeconomic-order-organism. As orders-companies get more productive they lure people to ‘trade-with’ or ’join-them’ by offering more money-wealth for their labor eventually causing the least productive orders-companies to sort of dissolve as their ‘factors of production’ like labor, buildings, etc. are bid away to be parts of the more productive and thus better informed plans-orders. A sort of swarm intelligence emerges as the all-pervasive public constantly uses its ‘freedom to trade’ its wealth for what it calculates to be best to nourish the growth and spread of superior orders-companies-information, inadvertently expanding the worldwide “division of labor and information” as entire neighborhoods-cities morph themselves in specialized ways as complementary pieces of information-orders segregate themselves in distinct geographical locations like the software industry in Silicon Valley, California and manufacturing in Guangdong, southern China. As Mises reminds us “The division of labour is a fundamental principle of all forms of life.” The division of labor is a pattern-way which natural selection rediscovers to enable smaller units-orders to efficiently compartmentalize labor-information as they contribute-to (and are nourished-by) a larger organism they become parts of(Organelles -> Cells -> Organs -> Humans -> Social Organism).

In his essay “Over-Legislation” Herbert Spencer beautifully comments on the differences between governmental(law-made) orders and private-competitive ones:

“How invariably officialism becomes corrupt every one knows. Exposed to no such antiseptic as free competition — not dependent for existence, as private unendowed organizations are, upon the maintenance of a vigorous vitality; all law-made agencies fall into an inert, over-fed state, from which to disease is a short step. Salaries flow in irrespective of the activity with which duty is performed; continue after duty wholly ceases; becomes rich prizes for the idle well born; and prompt to perjury, to bribery, to simony. … Officialism is habitually slow. When non-governmental agencies are dilatory, the public has its remedy: it ceases to employ them, and soon finds quicker ones. Under this discipline all private bodies are taught promptness. But for delays in State-departments there is no such easy cure. …

Consider first how immediately every private enterprise is dependent upon the need for it; and how impossible it is for it to continue if there be no need. Daily are new trades and new companies established. If they subserve some existing public want, they take root and grow. If they do not, they die of inanition. It needs no act of Parliament, to put them down. As with all natural organizations, if there is no function to them, no nutrient comes to them, and they dwindle away. Moreover, not only do the new agencies disappear if they are superfluous, but the old ones cease to be when they have done their work. Unlike law-made instrumentalities…these private instrumentalities dissolve when they become needless. …

Again, officialism is stupid. Under the natural course of things each citizen tends towards his fittest function. Those who are competent to the kind of work they undertake, succeed, and, in the average of cases, are advanced in proportion to their efficiency; while the incompetent, society soon finds out, ceases to employ, forces to try something easier, and eventually turns to use. But it is quite otherwise in State-organizations. Here, as everyone knows, birth, age, back-stairs intrigue, and sycophancy, determine the selections, rather than merit. The “fool of the family” readily finds a place in the Church, if “the family” have good connections. A youth, too ill-educated for any active profession, does very well for an officer in the Army. Gray hair or a title, is a far better guarantee of naval promotion than genius is. Nay, indeed, the man of capacity often finds that, in government offices, superiority is a hindrance — that his chiefs hate to be pestered with his proposed improvements, and are offended by his implied criticism. Not only, therefore, is legislative machinery complex, but it is made of inferior materials.”

Cultural Evolution.

Let us now briefly discuss how the above mechanism of ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ and emerging ‘Social Organism’, as with language, arose inadvertently without man’s design via a relatively blind process of ‘cultural evolution’ via ‘group selection’. Essentially 20,000 years or so ago there was a sort of petri dish of groups of people and their respective cultures-softwares, and ‘natural selection’-competition selected those cultures or groups whose sort of ‘cultural mutations’ led to a more productive-fitter-powerful social order, with respect for private property and thus individual freedom and emerging business culture ultimately being the most important tradition given the ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ that inadvertently emerged from it. Consider the following cultural element, an omnipresent God. The ability to be everywhere at all times is a concept that would provide a great benefit to religions-softwares that used it to describe their God. Without God’s omnipresence you could get away with breaking the rules that give society order and only have to face the consequences brought upon by fellow men. But if God is everywhere, watching your every move, you will be much more likely to follow those rules that give your society a more productive social order. A similar case can be made for the concepts of “sin” and “evil”. Did clever men “conspire” or use “reason” to invent or design our religions to control us? Of course not. It could be said that an omnipresent God is one of those culturally evolved concepts that is far far far more important than anything our “reason” has ever invented, as Hayek writes:

“…we may owe to these religions the preservation — admittedly for false reasons — of practices that were more important in enabling man to survive in large numbers than most of what has been accomplished through reason.”

Another great example of this evolutionary process that is closer and more immediately relevant to our present times was the ‘Protestant Reformation’. For centuries the Catholic Church’s traditions held immense coercive-monopoly-competitionless power which prevented or retarded individual freedom and emerging ‘competitive knowledge discovery’. In the early 1500s, among other religious reinterpretations, Martin Luther preached that indulgences (payments to the Catholic Church to help one go to heaven) were unnecessary, that a person could go to heaven by believing in Christ without the Catholic Church’s approval, and that the Bible itself, not the Church’s edicts-interpretations was what mattered. This helped reduce the coercive-monopoly power of the Catholic Church and spark a pro-freedom and thus emergent ‘competitive knowledge discovery’. Instead of people thinking and producing for the never-changing Priesthood, people now gained the freedom to think and produce for each other, leading to ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ and skyrocketing rates of innovation-production-prosperity in Europe-Christendom. Now, very important! Did Martin Luther “reason” that his religious reinterpretations would accelerate ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ leading to global Capitalism and Homo Sapiens’ recent sky-rocketing prosperity? Of course not! Just like solitary cells millions of years ago inadvertently via an evolutionary process created the respiratory-circulatory-nervous-etc “systems” that led to multicellular organisms without ‘designing them’, so is language, the free-market and Capitalism, to borrow the insightful phrase from Adam Ferguson, “indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.”, or as Carl Menger writes, it arose “as the unintended product of historical development”.

Due to numerous evolutionary pressures involved like the extinction of megafauna, agricultural-grain-bread-based society, although inferior and suddenly out of synch with our evolved big-game-hunter carnivorous biology in terms of nutrition at the individual level, was more conducive to trade, the resulting division of labor-information-competition, and thus a large more productive-powerful social order at the group level. Nomadic big-game-hunters can’t carry around large buildings-granaries, increasingly-complex tools-weapons-etc. Instead of sharing things which was vital for tribal-communist intuitive existence, privatization became more important and productive. The privatization of land, resources, others(slavery), women, children and accompanying-enforcing myths-taboos-religions began to be naturally selected for. Our very concept of the “self” became more individualistic and less tied to a tribal-communal identity. We went from animalistic promiscuity-gang-bangs(women can have multiple orgasms and enjoy sex for longer uninterrupted periods than men due to sex with multiple males for millions of years), to a stricter and more privatized family structure with the necessary taboos-myths-software needed to enforce them (“…you shall eat bread…” Genesis 3:19, Ten Commandments…). Pre-agricultural man didn’t even have a word or linguistic construct for a biological father, this cultural and linguistic element arose due to the natural selection of agricultural and pastoral societies which benefitted from such privatization, over the tribalistic-hunter-gatherer-communist groups that didn’t. Egyptian civilization, although populated by relatively malnourished agrarian people, had an advanced division of labor-commerce, could feed-equip large armies and thus ultimately became one of modernity’s cultural great-grandparents.

Rules relating to sex are crucial given the biological importance and potential turmoil relating to it. For example, at some point we developed strong taboos-punishments for sex with animals.

The Hebrew Bible mentions:

“Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.” Exodus 22:18

“And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto; it [is perversion.” Lev. 18:23

For the Hittites we have:

“If a man has sexual relations with a cow, it is an unpermitted sexual pairing; he will be put to death”

However,

“If a man has sexual relations with either a horse or a mule it is not an offense.”

Some form of marriage custom has evolved to help deal with sexual issues and currently the ‘one man’-’one woman’ rule has been the winning-selected strategy for most cultures, but it is impossible to predict that this arrangement is the best thing for mankind going forward. We certainly know that biologically we are polyamorous and much more like our primate cousins the chimpanzees and bonobos. Fake boobs, genetic engineering coming down the line, birth control, sex-robots, women’s freedom and who-knows-what-else-the-future-holds makes predicting what might emerge impossible. Preferably it is the freedom of each person to evaluate what is in his-her best interest while taking into account the freedom of others that guides this evolution from the bottom up instead of various coercive-controlling schemes the economically ignorant masses and their politicians increasingly fall for. Some people believe that if certain traditions or social norms “break down” society will suffer greatly, but this will likely not be the case if people understand basic economics. Theoretically and in all likelihood we can go back to having sex with animals and other practices today most consider barbaric (NOT that I’m encouraging this!), what we can’t do is abandon-forget-abolish private property and resulting economic freedom. Our ever-changing societies will lead to changes whose repercussions we will never be able to fully predict, as Hayek wrote:

“Man is not and never will be the master of his fate: his very reason always progresses by leading him into the unknown and unforeseen where he learns new things” (Hayek F. A., 1981, p. 176)

The above can help us understand some of the roots of the modern political Left(Darwinian-scientists-irreligious) vs. Right (religious-tradition) divide and seeming cultural chaos we are witnessing. For example, to various degrees the Left tolerates-encourages the human animal in his natural, intuitive, animalistic state and thus attacks the culturally evolved gender roles as the increasingly influential LGBT movement shows, increasingly allows sexual activity by youth at whatever age may arise naturally, and is far more tolerant of things like prostitution and abortion. While the Right (religion-tradition) finds such things as sick or malicious perversions and injurious to society. This also helps us understand how the Left-Right mindsets or “identities” see the so-called Jeffrey Epstein scandal where many famous people like Bill Gates and Bill Clinton took many flights to the property where Epstein organized sexual relations between young women and visitors. Today’s intellectual and political leaders are not religious and tend to be Darwinians and see little wrong with having sex with 14 year olds as was the case just a few centuries ago and even more so 50,000 years ago, so little effort to apply the law exists, especially when so many of today’s leading figures seem to have participated.

Our cultural brainwashing also had to tame the feeling of envy and jealousy which obviously plays such an ardent factor in fueling the economically ignorant anti-Capitalist mentality. Hayek writes:

“Envy and ignorance lead people to regard possessing more than one needs for current consumption as a matter for censure rather than merit. Yet the idea that such capital must be accumulated ‘at the expense of others’ is a throwback to economic views that, however obvious they may seem to some, are actually groundless, and make an accurate understanding of economic development impossible.”

Since this unknown cultural, NOT biological, evolution took white Europeans to relative technological prominence, many Europeans at the time erroneously believed that their race was a significant factor in socioeconomic prosperity. This understandably became the intellectual foundations of European imperialism. Tooley summarizes:

“European states had the right to conquer peoples because they were inferior and needed organizing for the good of the human race, and advanced states had the duty to conquer these peoples in order to pull them upward(at least some distance) toward the civilized level already achieved by the Europeans… As British imperialist Cecil Rhodes put it in 1877: “I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhibit, the better it is for the human race.” ”

By the late 1700s, the growing complexity of modern cities coupled with, per above, man not understanding how the ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ that creates civilization “emerges” from “private property” and thus personal liberty since this amazing mechanism had been designed, not by clever men, but by an evolutionary process we didn’t even really understand at the time, people understandably fell for all the usual anti-Capitalist, pro-Socialist-Nationalist central planning fallacies which still dominate popular thinking to this day. Freedom was increasingly seen as leading to chaos and ‘social injustice’ while competition immune government coercion by “experts” was seen as a superior alternative. The environment was ripe for the emergence of a new mythology, Socialism-Communism-Statism-Scientism. For example, Saint-Simon(1760–1825), the founder of French Socialism, wanted to organize a great “Council of Newton” made up of “three mathematicians, three physicists, three chemists, three physiologists, three authors, three painters and three musicians” who would then use their supposedly superior genius to tell everyone else what to do. Saint-Simon explains:

“All men will work; they will regard themselves as laborers attached to one workshop whose efforts will be directed to guide human intelligence according to my divine foresight. The supreme Council of Newton will direct their works”

Hayek comments that:

“Saint-Simon has no qualms about the means that will be employed to enforce the instructions of his central planning body: “Anybody who does not obey the orders will be treated by the others as a quadruped” ”

Eventually someone would describe these fallacies-myths in a manner that was bound to go viral and that is what happened with Karl Marx and his bite-sized ‘Communist Manifesto’ where Marx writes:

“the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property”… “Abolition of the family!”

Via Lenin’s Bolshevik revolution in Russia (1918) and other ‘Great Leaders’ throughout the world (Mao-China, Castro-Cuba, Pol Pot-Cambodia, FDR-USA, Hitler-Germany), many created massive central-planning-coercive bureaucracies that destroyed or hampered ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ and thus their own socioeconomic order that was sustained by it. Unfortunately yet understandably non-whites mistakenly equated Capitalism with European colonialism which made them even more susceptible to Socialist myths.

Asians were understandably upset by the racism of Europeans and their own relative technological backwardness. Initially Chinese rulers closed themselves from the Europeans and it was the Japanese who took the lead in swallowing their pride and trying to learn from them. Fortunately for the Japanese, Herbert Spencer quickly became the most influential thinker among Japanese thought leaders, so much so that they would be in close correspondence with him while drafting their laws. Nagai writes in ‘Herbert Spencer in Early Meiji Japan’:

“Spencer has been called the most widely read and possibly the most influential Western social and political thinker in Japan during the 1880’s. Between 1877 and 1900, at least thirty-two translations and one critical study of Spencer’s works were published, besides many articles in journals and magazines. The writings of John Stuart Mill ranked next in popularity. Other Western thinkers — such as Rousseau, Montesquieu, Guizot, Haeckel, T. H. Huxley, Darwin, Bentham, and Bagehot — received much less public attention.”

The above and other factors led to a much faster transition from feudalism to a market economy and accompanying superior ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ and technological advancement for the Japanese relative to others in the area. They also had a very good understanding of the calamity that Communism was bound to bring. During the ‘First Sino-Japanese War’ (1894–5) the Japanese easily defeated the Chinese over control of Korea. Then in 1904–5 the Japanese crushed the Russians dealing an embarrassing and shocking blow to white imperialists everywhere. Unfortunately for the Japanese, the desire of the American Roosevelt Administration to enter the Second World War on the side of the communist Stalin to defeat the anti-Semitic Hitler, lured the Japanese to attack the US at Pearl Harbor and eventually lose the war which led to the rapid expansion of Communist mythology and resulting tyranny and backwardness in China via Mao’s Chinese Communist Revolution. Little by little, with enough freedom the slightly smarter apes eventually learn. Deng Xiaoping who was the leading pro-free-market Chinese reformer after Mao’s passing tells us:

“These were not just Mao’s mistakes, they were all our mistakes”
“We are a backward country and we need to learn from Japan.”

Having spent most of our evolutionary history as tribal smarter apes, we have simply not evolved to intuitively understand the recently emerged evolutionary forces and market mechanisms like money, ‘competitive knowledge discovery’, finance, banking, etc. that create the social order, the vital need for freedom and privatization, and the immense harm that too much government can do. Tribal warfare, political infighting, coercing each other, rape, and ‘The law of the jungle’, are things we have been doing for millions of years and are somewhat intuitive, respecting private property, commercial society and understanding the aforementioned economic concepts which have been around for less than a few thousand is not. Hayek summarizes:

“…man’s instincts…were not made for the kinds of surroundings, and for the numbers, in which he now lives. They were adapted to life in the small roving bands or troops in which the human race and its immediate ancestors evolved during the few million years while the biological constitution of homo sapiens was being formed.”

The Dodo bird quickly went extinct because it had not evolved to recognize humans as potential dangers, we similarly just line up for ‘central planning’ and government coordinated self-destruction over and over. Notice how the biggest companies or ‘private sector orders’ in the world like Amazon, Apple, Walmart, Google and Microsoft, which hire and efficiently coordinate the actions of millions of fellow homo sapiens across the world regardless of age, sex, religion or race, do not force anyone to buy their products or coerce anyone in any way and have no army or tribalistic and patriotic flag salutations. They spend all of their time peacefully innovating and copying each other’s innovations thus inadvertently spreading superior information and subsequent social order. Yet the human dodos hate the free private sector and love their coercive ‘central planners’, “great leaders”, and coercive monopolistic governmental structures which make it more difficult to overcome inferior ideas and also reinforces some tribal ‘Identity’ (Jews, Russians, Chinese, Americans, Cubans, etc.) from which inevitably an ‘us vs. them’ mentality emerges. Hayek summarizes the rise-fall of Socialist-Communist mythology:

“Among the founders of religions over the last two thousand years, many opposed property and the family. But the only religions that have survived are those which support property and the family. Thus the outlook for communism, which is both anti-property and anti-family(and also anti-religion), is not promising. For it is, I believe, itself a religion which had its time, and which is now declining rapidly. In communist and socialist countries we are watching how the natural selection of religious beliefs disposes of the maladapted.”

The above insights are the key to understanding how with have this technologically advanced complex world, with mindbogglingly complex airplanes, microchips, the Internet and so on, yet remain so economically ignorant and tribalistic, with the planet littered with nuclear weapons and “experts” and the masses believing we need them, and a nearly senile Joe Biden as President of the United States. If “reason” really played the significant role most of us assume, none of the latter three would be happening. The fact that today hardly anyone in the world really understands the vital link between private property and thus freedom and civilization is further proof of how the entire social order is the result, not of our reason, but of an evolutionary process. As Hayek writes with respect to private property:

”…I am quite convinced nobody invented it for a known purpose, and to me the proof of this is that even now hardly anybody yet understands what the advantages of private property and the market society are.”

Hayek again:

“The ultimate decision about what is accepted as right and wrong will be made not by individual human wisdom but by the disappearance of the groups that have adhered to the “wrong” beliefs.”

Next we look at Jew-Gentile misunderstandings leading to Zionism and emerging disasters. Hayek writes:

“[to men] the market economy is largely incomprehensible…and its results seem to them irrational and immoral. They often see in it merely an arbitrary structure maintained by some sinister power.”

Who is that ‘sinister power’? Each group of economically ignorant homo sapiens depending on their history and numerous circumstances mistakenly identifies a different boogeyman. Since the recent and rapid evolution of the free-market-Capitalism occurred in Europe, understandably so for much of the third world and non-whites, it is “the white man” and his “exploitative Capitalism” and-or “racism”. There is of course, the “evil corporations”, “the rich-CEOs”, “greed”, “sexism”, “minorities”, “immigrants”, etc. . It is as if we are fooled into believing that just because the social order is the result of human action, that our problems are likewise the result of conscious planning or plotting by fellow slightly smarter apes. They are not. They are overwhelmingly the result of economic ignorance and the order-destroying central planning bureaucracies the human dodos create. Next we deal with one group of people, or better said, a culture or “identity” where once again economic ignorance leads to their being mistaken as some “sinister power” with disastrous world-wide consequences. “The Jews.” Let’s see how the above insights are needed to understand the never-ending antisemitism and emerging Jew-Gentile calamities like WWII, and the Israeli-Palestinian and its numerous ramifications. “Jewish Identity” is a software-culture that runs just 0.2% of the world’s fellow homo sapiens. How could it have played such a vital role in the emergence of modern civilization and its recent conflicts?

Religions are essentially complex culturally-evolved software that help sustain the order of various groups of fellow homo sapiens. Whether one homo sapiens grows up to “identify as” a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim, or a Russian or an American, it all comes down to having parents and other surrounding homo sapiens inadvertently program you with such an “identity”. These “identities” are evolved and NOT designed. It is as erroneous to say that Jews “invented” Judaism, as it is to say that Germans invented the German language. It is also an error to say that the Catholic Church in the 1400s was a ‘conspiracy’ of Popes and clergy to control the masses. Sadly naïve thinkers who have no familiarity with the evolution of culture understandably see ‘conspiracy’ everywhere, which is obviously prevalent among so-called ‘anti-Semites’ who naively confuse inadvertent Jewish influence emerging from complex evolutionary factors with sinister conspiracies.

We have to cut a few corners and fast forward from about 100,000 years ago, where there were thousands of little tribes and their respective cultures-software-“identities”, to about 2,000 years ago when some of these groups were being integrated-absorbed into growing empires. So we got Jews, one of these many ethnocentric groups-”identities”. Jewish software inherited the myth that they were ‘God’s chosen people’ and the succinct 10 commandments which were essentially very good ways or algorithms to run society and proved themselves in the stability and cohesiveness of Jews. Then a Jew by the name of Jesus says he is the son of God and a sort of cultural mutation of Judaism in the form of Christianity emerges. Christian culture-software-identity lost the ethnocentrism that Judaism contains (generally speaking your mother has to be Jewish) which encouraged members to proselytize and rapidly grow in numbers, spreading the great-viral-simple “Ten Commandments”, winning converts who are not supposed to kill each other thus trade relatively peacefully, inadvertently helping spread more freedom and emerging ‘competitive knowledge discovery’. If we look at Christianity, some of its rules which differed from what was more mainstream at the time and inadvertently led to its growth were things like the prohibition of infanticide, condemnation of divorce, incest, marital infidelity and polygamy. In the Greco-Roman world where Christianity emerged, infanticide, especially of girls, was a common and accepted practice leading to populations of more males than females. For example, there were 131 males per 100 females in the city of Rome, and 140 males per 100 females in Italy, Asia Minor, and North Africa. The prohibition of infanticide would help Christian populations grow faster. These values-rules coupled with the relatively higher status afforded to women made this new religious movement much more appealing to women who would often times convert their husbands thus helping the religion and its values spread. Now! Very important! Did early Christian theologians “reason” that such values would play a significant role in the growth of Christianity and its success? Did they plan this? I doubt it. Again, these things “are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design”.

Remaining an inevitably smaller ethnocentric ideology led to the history of ill treatment and suspicion Jews have experienced at the hands of the larger Christianity and Islam. For example, the Quran mentions:

“Thou wilt surely find the most hostile of men to the believers are the Jews and the idolaters;”

In Christianity’s New Testament, Jesus tells Jews that don’t believe him that:

“You belong to your father, the devil.“ (John 8:44)

Thus it is understandable how many Jews can label Christians and Muslims as antisemitic leading to polarizations.

Since Judaism’s main religious texts like the Old Testament were written before the emergence of Christianity and Islam, they contain no derogatory remarks about them. However, consider the following. On Oct 16th, 2010 Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, founder and spiritual leader of the largest religious political party in Israel(Shas) which won 11 of 120 Knesset seats in the 2009 elections, and is also a former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel which can be seen as the sort of Pope of the Sephardic Jews, said in a sermon that:

“Goyim[non-Jews] were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world — only to serve the People of Israel,”…“Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created,”

His funeral was attended by over 800,000 adoring slightly smarter apes who brainwashed themselves with a “Jewish identity” in Jerusalem. If this smarter ape can have such views a decade into the 21st century just imagine what other Rabbis in the even more mystical past would say about non-Jews and the understandable bad blood between them and surrounding Muslims-Christians. Unfortunate, but what can we do, we are slightly smarter apes after all. The best we can hope for is to become “civilized” slightly smarter apes, which we do by understanding what leads to civilization, private property, intellectual freedom and the selection of superior information-TRUTH and order that emerges from it.

Let us now move a bit closer to the present and discuss the Jew-Gentile misunderstandings that led to the emergence of “Nazi identity” and resulting World War Two.

In a Christian world that would excommunicate usurers-moneylenders, Jews being immune to excommunication and now without Christian competition found an advantage as moneylenders-bankers which inadvertently caused them to be overly represented in modern finance-banking-capitalism . Historian Paul Johnson writes:

“The Jews reacted by engaging in the one business where Christian laws actually discriminated in their favour, and so became identified with the hated trade of moneylending. Rabbi Joseph Colon, who knew both France and Italy in the second half of the fifteenth century, wrote that the Jews of both countries hardly engaged in any other profession.”

Johnson mentions other ways in which Jews helped push the world in a more capitalist direction. One was financial innovation via their influence in the development of stock markets. Another was their stress on the importance of advertising. Better advertising speeds up competition and its spread of superior ideas-products so it is a great boost to civilization-order. The September 27th 1712 issue of England’s Spectator described the Jew’s vital influence as follows:

“They are so disseminated through all the trading Parts of the World, that they are become the instruments by which the most distant Nations converse with one another and by which mankind are knit together in a general correspondence. They are like the pegs and nails in a great building, which though they are but little valued in themselves, are absolutely necessary to keep the whole frame together.”

Jews were also inadvertently overly represented in the atheistic virulently anti-religious Communist-Socialist movements of the late 19th and 20th century. How prevalent were Jews in spreading-implementing Socialist-Communist ideology? First of all there was Karl Marx, Socialism-Communism’s main intellectual who gave the movement enough of a naïve intellectual aura to mislead hundreds of future would-be dictators-intellectuals. Leon Trotsky(born Lev Davidovich Bronstein), founder of the Red Army, second only to Lenin and most likely to succeed him as leader of the Russian communists was also an ethnic Jew. Slezkine writes:

“At the First All-Russian Congress of Soviets in June 1917, at least 31 percent of Bolshevik delegates(and 37 percent of Unified Social Democrats) were Jews. At the Bolshevik Central Committee meeting of October 23, 1917, which voted to launch an armed insurrection, 5 out of the 12 members present were Jews. Three out of seven Politbureau members charged with leading the October uprising were Jews(Trotsky, Zinoviev, and Grigory Sokolnikov).”

According to Lenin, it was thanks to Jews that his Bolsheviks were able to “take over the state apparatus” in Russia. Lenin mentions:

“The fact that there were many Jewish intelligentsia members in the Russian cities was of great importance to the revolution. They put an end to the general sabotage that we were confronted with after the October Revolution… The Jewish elements were mobilized… and thus saved the revolution at a difficult time. It was only thanks to this pool of a rational and literate labor force that we succeeded in taking over the state apparatus.”

For a people who were sometimes seen as foreigners, Socialism’s international brotherhood (“Workers of the world, unite!” was to be a popular rallying cry) would seem to have an additional appeal and be a perfect fit for a people who were already a sort of international family. Socialism’s atheism would also do away with a major source of Jewish troubles now that everyone was supposed to be atheist-irreligious in the new scientific and rational Socialist world. The central and viral economic fallacy of Socialism, that having smart people-”experts” plan the social order would be better than letting selfish and greedy businessmen do so, needed the smarter and better educated to be the planners, and this is exactly what Jews were compared to the rest (at least in Russia), thus naturally and inadvertently rising to the top of the movement. As Chaim Weizmann recalls in his autobiography: “the non-Jewish population had not the same overwhelming thirst for knowledge as the Jews, who were always knocking at the doors of the schools.”

This large participation-association of ethnic Jews with Socialism would have disastrous consequences for the majority of Jews who did not want to be a part of Socialism or much less abandon their faith and traditions. As Lenin and Trotsky were launching post-World War One Russia into a civil war(1918–22) between the Communist Red Army and the White Russian Army which supported the Russian Monarchy and old order-institutions, Jews would pay a heavy price. Johnson writes that:

“The consequences for the Jews both immediate and long-term, both locally and world-wide, were appalling. The White Russian armies, seeking to destroy the Soviet regime, treated all Jews as enemies. In the Ukraine, the Civil War developed into the most extensive pogrom in Jewish history… In other parts of eastern Europe, a similar identification of Jews with Bolshevism led directly to murderous attacks on harmless Jewish communities. They were particularly bloody in Poland after the failure of the Bolshevik invasion and in Hungary after the fall of the Bela Kun regime. They occurred intermittently in Rumania throughout the 1920s. In all three countries the local Communist Parties had been largely created and run by Non-Jewish Jews, and in each case it was the unpolitical, traditional, observant Jews of the ghettos and villages who paid the penalty.”

Again, it needs to be stressed, as Johnson just mentioned: “In all three countries the local Communist Parties had been largely created and run by Non-Jewish Jews”. Thus it is quite understandable how so many like Hitler, Churchill and many Europeans came to associate-equate Jews with it.

We are now in a position to fully appreciate the wisdom of the founder of the misguided ideology of political Zionism and the eventual creation of Israel, Theodor Herzl when he writes:

“We are what the Ghetto made us. We have attained pre-eminence in finance, because mediaeval conditions drove us to it. The same process is now being repeated. We are again being forced into finance, now it is the stock exchange, by being kept out of other branches of economic activity. Being on the stock exchange, we are consequently exposed afresh to contempt. At the same time we continue to produce an abundance of mediocre intellects who find no outlet, and this endangers our social position as much as does our increasing wealth. Educated Jews without means are now rapidly becoming Socialists. Hence we are certain to suffer very severely in the struggle between classes, because we stand in the most exposed position in the camps of both Socialists and capitalists.”

We must emphasize that Socialist-Communist ideology, rooted on easy to absorb economic fallacies, was already spreading throughout the world and can be seen as an almost inevitable mistake as mankind tried to make sense of the workings of the social order-economy which was quickly growing in bewildering complexity. Jews were inadvertently in a position to be more attracted to Socialism and Capitalism and be leaders in both. They obviously did not “invent” or “plot” Socialism-Communism-Capitalism like Hitler and many others to this day claim. It could be said that they were ‘naturally selected’ to be Socialist-Capitalist-finance leaders, thus giving the impression to naïve thinkers that they were its “creators-plotters”.

Also by being more likely to be atheists and thus freer from traditional religion-influenced morals which goes hand-in-hand with a Darwinian-evolutionary outlook which is more tolerant and permissive of human nature, Jews once again found themselves leaders in the carnal pleasures associated with Hollywood, pornography, LGBT stuff, and the music industry which helps explain why Tel Aviv may be the gay capital of the world. As Marlon Brando put it: “Hollywood is run by Jews. It’s owned by Jews.” Jewish involvement and influence in such movements-industries is yet again, NOT part of some sinister conspiracy, but “indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.”

“Nazi (National Socialist) Identity” culminating in men like Hitler understandably emerged in Germany as a reaction to current events. For example, On November 7, 1918, just three days before the end of World War One, Kurt Eisner (a Jew) led a peaceful revolution which led to the brief existence of a socialist state in Bavaria (Munich being the capital). Eisner distanced himself from the Russian Communists and wanted his government to somehow respect private property, but unfortunately after his assassination and a few changes in government, by April 12, 1919, a more hard-core Communist Party headed by Eugen Leviné (another Jew) with direct ties to Lenin took over power and immediately began expropriating property, factories, and so on. At the suggestion of Lenin, on April 30th, Leviné had eight men who were prominent members of society shot to help show he meant business. Levine’s short-lived communist government was ended by the Freikorps, which were militias mostly made up of army volunteers who for a myriad of reasons were opposed to a Communist takeover of their country, especially one that was orchestrated from Russia and had such a high overrepresentation of Jews in their leadership. Earlier in Berlin too, Marxist Jews Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht had led another short-lived Communist government. So again, it is understandable how the emerging ‘Nazi Identity’ would be both anti-Communist with strong anti-Semitic tendencies as well.

Once Hitler rose to power in August 2nd, 1934 “Nazi Identity” understandably expanded leading to an increasing polarization between the anti-Semitic ‘Nazi Identity’ and ‘Jewish Identity’ and its sympathetic supporters ultimately leading to World War Two. Again! It is vitally important that we see antisemitism as understandable intellectual errors, that similar to Socialist economic fallacies, should be overcome via intellectual means instead violence and war. Hitler’s anti-Semitic government was destroyed at the staggering cost of about 85 million lives. We need to understand the fallacies that lead to antisemitism and Socialism, instead of finding ourselves simply killing the fellow homo sapiens who have absorbed erroneous ideas. Hello McFly!

Let us briefly look at the polarizing language between Hitler-Nazis and Jews. For example here we see Hitler displaying his racial pseudoscience mixed with the antisemitism:

“For us, it is a problem of whether our nation can ever recover its health, whether the Jewish spirit can ever really be eradicated. Don’t be misled into thinking you can fight a disease without killing the carrier, without destroying the bacillus. Don’t think you can fight racial tuberculosis without taking care to rid the nation of the carrier of that racial tuberculosis. This Jewish contamination will not subside, this poisoning of the nation will not end, until the carrier himself, the Jew, has been banished from our midst.” (Hitler, 1920)

Let us now look at the understandable reaction by the fellow homo sapiens who have absorbed a ‘Jewish Identity’. Soon after Hitler was appointed Chancellor in January 30th, 1933, but before he had dictatorial powers or any laws discriminating against Jews were passed, on March 27th American Jews headed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and thousands of other Jewish leaders, held mass rallies across the U.S. in over 70 locations like Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Baltimore, with New York’s Madison Square Garden overflowing with over 50,000 supporters and its rally being broadcast worldwide ultimately having a whopping one million participants. They promoted a boycott of German goods and would try to use their influence on world governments to help bring down Hitler’s government. The British newspaper The Daily Express had a headline story about the event titled “Judea Declares War on Germany”.

In retaliation, 5 days after on April 1st, Germany’s Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels organized a one-day boycott of Jewish businesses which would be lifted if anti-Nazi protests were suspended which obviously did not happen. This would be the beginning of a political and propaganda war between organized Jewry (predominantly American Jews) and Hitler’s government which would see German Jews lose more and more freedoms, and very important, would help Jews be increasingly seen as a dangerous 5th column to be interned during the war similar to how Japanese-Americans were as the US fought Japan. A few days later on April 7th Germany would pass the ‘Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service’ which would prevent Jews, as well as political opponents, from having many types of government jobs.

Here are a few more statements from leading Jews at the time, long, long before the war broke out on Sept 1st, 1939 or Jews were sent to ghettos or concentration camps. In a radio broadcast which was also printed in the August 7th 1933 edition of the New York Times, prominent Jewish lawyer and civic leader Samuel Untermeyer mentioned the following:

”Each of you, Jew and Gentile alike, who has not already enlisted in this sacred war should do so now and here. It is not sufficient that you should buy no goods made in Germany. You must refuse to deal with any merchant or shopkeeper who sells any German-made goods or who patronises German ships or shipping…. we will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends.”

On January, 1934 (over 5 years before start of war) Vladimir Jabotinsky, one of the most important and influential Zionist ideologues mentioned:

”For months now the struggle against Germany is waged by each Jewish community, at each conference, in all our syndicates, and by each Jew all over the world. There is reason to believe that our part in this struggle has general value. We will trigger a spiritual and material war of all the world against Germany’s ambitions to become once again a great nation, to recover lost territories and colonies. But our Jewish interests demand the complete destruction of Germany. Collectively and individually, the German nation is a threat to us Jews.”

These sorts of statements frequently blasted on leading newspapers in the USA and England for about 6 years, and their influence on sympathetic politicians, especially the already fiercely anti-German Roosevelt administration (Roosevelt had been Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy during WWI) would eventually lead to war.

By October 27th 1941, just 11 days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (11/7/1941) which would officially bring the US into WWII vs. Japan and Germany, the maniacal non-Homo-Sapiens portrayal of Hitler had reached the level needed to get the masses agitating for slaughter. Roosevelt made a nationally broadcasted speech where he mentioned that ‘In the place of the Bible, the words of Mein Kampf will be imposed and enforced as Holy Writ’. In his own words:

“Your Government has in its possession another document, made in Germany by Hitler’s Government. It is a detailed plan, which, for obvious reasons, the Nazis did not wish and do not wish to publicize just yet, but which they are ready to impose, a little later, on a dominated world — if Hitler wins.

It is a plan to abolish all existing religions — Protestant, Catholic, Mohammedan, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish alike. The property of all churches will be seized by the Reich and its puppets. The cross and all other symbols of religion are to be forbidden. The clergy are to be forever silenced under penalty of the concentration camps, where even now so many fearless men are being tortured because they have placed God above Hitler.

In the place of the churches of our civilization, there is to be set up an international Nazi church — a church which will be served by orators sent out by the Nazi government. In the place of the Bible, the words of Mein Kampf will be imposed and enforced as Holy Writ. And in place of the cross of Christ will be put two symbols — the swastika and the naked sword.”

Thus by October 27th 1941 the apes were already solidly behind mythical good vs. evil. Given the increasing tribalism-nationalism as the apes segregate for wars, the arms manufacturers, already likely to employ people who have a more naïve good vs. evil mindset that justifies military spending and also profits from war, will have an easier time getting government money which also means more money for the campaigns of more simple-minded-tribalistic-good-vs.-evil politicians, who spread more naïve tribalism through the media in an intensifying cycle of tribalism which attracts more money and wealth with which to spread more tribalism. Once the conflicts start the need for unity becomes even stronger and those opposed to it are easily branded as traitors, especially when these courageous people expose the errors, negligence, or criminality of leaders pushing for war. Clear and level-headed thinkers who know that the “enemy” are just fellow human beings whose actions are often times very reasonable given how they see things and far from some “evil monsters” are bound to be in the minority, and eventually branded as traitors (pro-Kaiser-Hitler-Putin (insert evil bad guy here)). Once these voices are silenced then the apes just intensify the slaughter until one side claims victory to the “war”. During World War One with the encouragement of the day’s “experts” and “great leaders” the smarter apes spent 4 years slaughtering each other across the trenches for reasons not one in a million today know or care about. The patterns, once properly understood and identified are identical because the tribalistic human nature and economic ignorance is the same. As the great historian John Toland writes “It is human nature that repeats itself, not history.”

It is widely understood that the Treaty of Versailles forced upon the losing Germans after World War One had countless injustices, one of them being separating the German city of Danzig from the mainland by making it an enclave within, and largely controlled by, Poland. Most historians today and wise politicians during the lead-up to World War Two felt like Hitler’s demands that Danzig should be reunited with Germany were very reasonable and legitimate goals. For example, former US President Herbert Hoover criticized the Roosevelt Administration’s virulent anti-Hitler stance when he wrote:

“Another action by Mr. Roosevelt was his influence upon the Poles not to negotiate the question of Danzig. The adamant attitude of the Poles against negotiations received support from the Washington Administration. The separation of the German city of Danzig from Germany…had long been a cause of agitation by the Germans. Both were a part of vengeance and there was merit in the German claims. I had stated at one time that they should be corrected.”

In addition to Nazi antisemitism already discussed, the 1935 racist and anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws, and the government sanctioned cruelty of events like Kristallnacht (November 9–10, 1938) where thousands of Jewish properties were vandalized, understandably led Jews and their sympathetic supporters in the US and British governments to prevent the peaceful reunification of Danzig and understandable polarization and expansion of the war as Hitler reunited Danzig by force by invading Poland with Stalin.

Sadly the tribalistic good vs. evil mindset that the Jews were understandably creating in the USA as an understandable reaction to Nazi antisemitism was no match for the reason of more nuanced thinkers like the great American hero, and first man to fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean, Charles Lindbergh who mentioned in a famous speech at Des Moines on September 11, 1941:

“It is not difficult to understand why Jewish people desire the overthrow of Nazi Germany. The persecution they suffered in Germany would be sufficient to make bitter enemies of any race. No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany. But no person of honesty and vision can look on their pro-war policy here today without seeing the dangers involved in such a policy both for us and for them. Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences. Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History shows that it cannot survive war and devastations. A few far-sighted Jewish people realize this and stand opposed to intervention. But the majority still do not.”

The vital point is to realize how Jew-Gentile misunderstandings were the main drivers of the war. After the US joined the war in Dec. 7, 1941, Jewish leader Chaim Weizmann mentioned the obvious: “this war is our war”. In a speech on December 3, 1942, in New York he mentions:

”We are not denying and are not afraid to confess that this war is our war and that it is waged for the liberation of Jewry… Stronger than all fronts together is our front, that of Jewry. We are not only giving this war our financial support on which the entire war production is based, we are not only providing our full propaganda power which is the moral energy that keeps this war going. The guarantee of victory is predominantly based on weakening the enemy forces, on destroying them in their own country, within the resistance. And we are the Trojan horses in the enemy’s fortress. Thousands of Jews living in Europe constitute the principal factor in the destruction of our enemy. There, our front is a fact and the most valuable aid for victory.”

Let us next say a few things about the evolution of ‘Zionist Identity’ and resulting Israeli-Palestinian conflict and all the grows from it. Both antisemitism and Zionism are rooted in the same intellectual error, that the fellow homo sapiens who “identify as Jews” are so different from the other homo sapiens that they must leave their real homes, the real thousands of towns and Synagogues where for hundreds of years they were an integral part of Western Civilization to create a country based on religious mythology in an area already populated by others who had a different “identity” (Muslims, Christians, and fellow anti-Zionist Jews) and for numerous understandable reasons were adamantly opposed to the creation of a “Jewish State” in their surroundings. The founder of political Zionism, Theodor Herzl himself highlighted this ideological congruence of both Zionists and anti-Semites in his foundational book “The Jewish State”(1896):

“The anti-semites will be our most steadfast friends.” “The anti-Semitic countries will be our allies” “Great exertions will hardly be necessary to spur on the movement. Anti-Semites provide the requisite impetus. They need only do what they did before, and then they will create a desire to emigrate where it did not previously exist, and strengthen it where it existed before.”

During the early days of political Zionism most Jews rightly thought it was a bad idea. The rabbinical establishment in Munich, Germany, where Herzl wanted to hold the First Zionist Congress, strongly rejected the idea so the meeting was moved to Basle, Switzerland(8/29–31/1897). They told him :

“…how can one speak with people who on the one hand are fanatics regarding Jewish nationhood and, on the other hand, complain that the Austrian government required a baptismal certificate from the candidate for the position of secretary of Bukowina. If the Austrian Jews support the efforts of the Zionists, then they should not complain that they are treated by the government like foreigners and are barred from public office. We, however, can say to our fellow countrymen with complete conviction that we comprise a separate community solely with respect to religion. Regarding nationality, we feel totally at one with our fellow Germans and therefore strive towards the realization of the spiritual and moral goals of our dear fatherland with an enthusiasm equaling theirs….Eighteen hundred years ago, history made its decision regarding Jewish nationhood through the dissolution of the Jewish State and the destruction of the Temple.”

Jews were divided into the Zionists and anti-Zionists (“assimilationists”). Chaim Weizmann, the leading Zionist figure after Herzl’s death in 1904, lamented how “assimilated Jews” were “dead against Zionism” and correctly identified Zionism as “a primitive tribalism”. He writes:

“For assimilated Jews…They looked upon it…as a primitive tribalism. They felt themselves…called upon to “rescue” Judaism from Zionism…these people are dead against Zionism…Zionism is not meant for those people who have cut themselves adrift from Jewry…”

Of course! That rapidly increasing number of very well educated cosmopolitan and increasingly secular “assimilated Jews” spread all over Europe-USA just wanted to be fellow human beings or equal world citizens free of ancient tribalisms-mysticisms-identities. Unfortunately, for very understandable reasons-factors for which nobody is to blame and are ultimately rooted in economic ignorance, like a rocket that is just about to reach orbit but runs out of fuel and comes crashing down to earth, Zionism would inadvertently pull ‘Jewish Identity’ and all of Western Civilization back to an increasingly ethnocentric identity-worldview with disastrous consequences.

Many Christians, with the best of intentions, as well as their own antisemitism, also played a significant role. It easily made sense for many that Jews should live in their mythical lands, for example American president during World War One Woodrow Wilson too liked the idea: “To think, that I the son of a manse should be able to help restore the Holy Land to its people.” Wanting to win the support of Jews everywhere for their First World War against Germany, on November 2nd 1917, via the ‘Balfour Declaration’, the British government officially made it a policy to help create a “National Home” for Jews in Palestine. Former Prime Minister James Balfour mentioned in a cabinet meeting that:

“The vast majority of Jews in Russia and America… now appear to be favorable to Zionism. If we could make a declaration favorable to such an ideal, we should be able to carry on extremely useful propaganda in both Russia and America.”

British Prime Minister Lloyd George added that:

“the Zionist leaders gave us a definite promise that, if the Allies committed themselves to giving facilities for the establishment of a National Home for the Jews in Palestine, they would do their best to rally to the Allied cause.”

What about the 700,000 or so Arabs who already inhabited Palestine? The imperialist attitude of the British-Europeans is perfectly captured by former Prime Minister Lord Balfour who said at the time:

“I am quite unable to see why Heaven or any other Power should object to our telling the Moslem what he ought to think.”

And:

“For in Palestine we do not propose to even go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country though the American [King-Crane] Commission is going through the form of asking what they are. The Four Great Powers [Britain, France, Italy and the United States] are committed to Zionism. And Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long traditions, in present needs, and future hopes, of far profounder import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land.”

If the Palestinians-natives had some form of truly representative government the Zionist error could have been prevented but to a significant degree this was not to be thanks to Zionism’s perhaps most influential ally, Winston Churchill. During the years 1920–1922 Churchill was the Colonial Secretary allowing him to call the shots in the British controlled Middle East. On May 12th, 1921 Palestinian representatives sent the Colonial Office resolutions asking for representative government and the annulling of the Balfour Declaration but on May 31st Churchill told the British Cabinet that:

“he had decided to suspend the development of representative institutions in Palestine ‘owing to the fact that any elected body would undoubtedly prohibit further immigration of Jews’.”

Zionist leader and future Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion had no problems understanding the Arab point of view:

“There is a fundamental conflict. We and they want the same thing: We both want Palestine. And that is the fundamental conflict”… “Were I an Arab…I would rise up against immigration liable sometime in the future to hand the country and all of its Arab inhabitants over to Jewish rule. What Arab cannot do his math and understand that immigration at the rate of 60,000 a year means a Jewish state in all of Palestine?”

After nearly three decades of increasing chaos in the area, the United Nations created the UNSCOP(UN Special Committee on Palestine) and came up with a recommendation, the “U.N. partition plan of 1947” (aka Resolution 181, Nov. 29, 1947) which gave 55% of the land to 37% of the people(Jews who at the time owned less than 9% of the land) for a future Jewish state and 44% of the land for the majority and native Arab population for their future state, with the city of Jerusalem administered by the UN. Needless to say the Arabs felt like some white guys in Europe deciding how to restructure the area, especially in such a manner, was not acceptable. The Zionists, especially given all the chaos arising from Nazi Germany and the recent World War Two, were understandably fed-up with the usual antisemitism and sporadic clashes with local Arabs, and as the British withdrew their forces they went on the offensive encouraging the depopulation of Arab villages and towns. On the 6th of February 1948, during a Mapai Party Council, someone mentioned that “we have no land there” while referring to some lands west of Jerusalem, to which Ben Gurion replied:

“The war will give us the land. The concepts of “ours” and “not ours” are only concepts for peacetime, and during war they lose their meaning.”

Ben-Gurion also mentioned in his diary:

“The compulsory transfer of the Arabs… could give us something which we never had…This is national consolidation in an independent homeland.”

And also declared at a congressional meeting:

“Transfer is what will make possible a comprehensive settlement program. Thankfully, the Arab people have vast empty areas. Jewish power, which grows steadily, will also increase our possibilities to carry out transfer on a large scale.”

Yosef Weitz who was the director of the Land and Afforestation Department of the Jewish National Fund and was an avid supporter of forced transfer and describes the events:

“Our army is steadily conquering Arab villages and their inhabitants are afraid and fleeing like mice. You have no idea what happened in the Arab villages. It is enough that during the night several shells whistle overhead and they flee for their lives. Villages are steadily emptying, and if we continue on this course–and we shall certainly do so as our strength increases–then tens of villages will empty their inhabitants. This time these self-confident ones, too, will feel what it is like to be refugees. Maybe they will understand us.”

By the time things settled in 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages and towns were destroyed or depopulated. About 700,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes. AND NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN ONCE THE FIGHTING ENDED!

When David Ben Gurion declared victory and the establishment of Israel in May 14, 1948, then US president Harry S. Truman was advised by the State Department and others against recognizing it, but in his own words:

“I’m sorry, gentlemen, but I have to answer to hundreds of thousands who are anxious for the success of Zionism; I do not have hundreds of thousands of Arabs among my constituents.”

Among the understandably traumatized Palestinians many would say antisemitic things and take up armed resistance towards the Jewish occupation of their property. The mostly secular “civilized” perfect-English speaking, highly educated white European Ashkenazi jews could easily point the finger at these “radical” darker skinned Muslims to further strengthen their Zionist fallacies, which further reinforced in their mind how superior they were intellectually, culturally and morally, and how necessary it was for them to live apart. In the war of 1967 the Israelis further expelled another 300,000 Arabs.

The Zionist Jews, just like the Russians and Chinese did with Socialism, increasingly tied their “identity” to a massive error and eventually reach the stage where we are today, where saying that Zionism and the resulting Israeli state as it currently functions and has been a massive error, essentially what most Jews in the late 1800s were wisely saying, is seen by many Jews today as antisemitic ‘hate speech’. CEO of the Anti-Defamation League Jonathan Greenblatt has mentioned that “Anti-Zionism is antisemitism” and also that “Anti-Zionism is genocide”. The “Zionist identity” can very easily justify its worldview and actions by pointing the finger at the many conspiracy-minded naïve antisemites and traumatized Palestinians who say awful things about Jews. It is easy and somewhat intuitive to fall for Socialist economic myths, it is more difficult and somewhat counter-intuitive to understand the workings and evolution of the free market. The same pattern repeats here. The antisemitic fallacies like naive conspiratorial or religious remarks about Jews are easy to spot, and are in fact the source of the immense influence or “power” that “Zionist identity” has since these fallacies can easily-quickly get the support of rightly concerned people. The root evolutionary causes of the fallacies and their ramifications per above are hardly known and more difficult to understand and spread. Thus like young ideologues who are persuaded by Marx’s “Communist Manifesto” and see businessmen as sinister capitalists “exploiters” to be killed, ‘Jewish Identity’ and understandably sympathetic supporters increasingly seek to make it a ‘hate crime’ and thus coerce and ultimately kill if necessary, those who make mistakes and say naive conspiratorial things about Jews, or feel like Zionism and the current Israeli state is illegitimate or a massive error. As Israeli author of the excellent book ‘The Invention of the Jewish People’, Shlomo Sand, mentions: “Zionism has become…. a sort of Stalinism.” Once again! Very importantly! There is no one to blame here, we just have ‘identities’ and various ‘echo chambers’ evolving and reacting to each other in various ways. All sides lacking the evolutionary framework needed to understand the root causes of the fallacies leading to the hatreds.

Naïve simple-minded American politicians, especially religious ones in the Republican Party like Florida Governor Ron Desantis, go to Israel, immerse themselves in the history of Jewish suffering, are shown antisemitic statements by understandably traumatized and radicalized Palestinians, and then see it as their moral duty to do essentially whatever Israeli leaders like PM Benjamin Netanyahu feels is necessary to fight ‘the terrorists’, antisemites, ‘the world’s oldest hatred’ and so on. Netanyahu himself has been somewhat perplexed at how easily he can get US politicians to pretty much do whatever he wants. He mentioned:

“I know what America is. America is something that can easily be moved. Moved to the right direction….80% of the Americans support us. It’s absurd. We have that kind of support.”

A year after the 9/11 attacks, on Sept. 12, 2002, while encouraging the US to attack Saddam over his ultimately inexistent ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’, Netanyahu told the US Congress:

“The more victories you amass, the easier the next victory becomes. The first victory in Afghanistan makes a second victory in Iraq that much easier. The second victory in Iraq will make the third victory that much easier.”

Regardless of how smart the MIT graduated Netanyahu is, the seemingly obvious fact that even the most radicalized “anti-Semitic” terrorist is just a fellow homo sapiens who has absorbed a very understandable set of erroneous ideas is obviously neglected.

Another simple-minded naive Evangelical Christian is Former US Secretary of State as well as Director of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, who understandably mentions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

“This land, as an evangelical Christian, I am convinced from my reading of the Bible that 3,000 years onto now, in spite of the denial of so many, is the rightful homeland of the Jewish people,”

Pompeo, leading the charge of the forces of ‘good vs. evil’, understandably sees the Iranian government as pure evil and anyone who sees things differently as engaging in ‘sheer madness’. He writes:

“The Iranian regime is a de facto terrorist group….the Obama administration’s overeducated liberals…. decided that they knew better and sought to cut a deal with Iran. They believed that they could transform die-hard Islamists into responsible partners in peace…It was sheer madness.”

Some of these ‘overeducated liberals’ are just non-religious non-naïve ‘good vs. evil’ thinkers who believe all homo sapiens can eventually overcome misunderstandings and have peace, but of course, this is ‘sheer madness’. Pompeo understandably radiates the ‘good vs. evil’, with-us or against-us, tribalistic mentality in all directions with his hatred of famed journalists and whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Julian Assange whom he referred to as ‘simple hoodlums’ and writes:

”villains such as Assange…Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning…They certainly aren’t journalists. If they are foreigners, they are enemies. If they are Americans, they are traitors…. These crooks claim to be honoring human rights and free expression. They are in fact serving the interests of the most evil and repressive regimes… These enemies and traitors must be punished… I pursued Assange’s extradition hard as CIA director and secretary of state…. I lobbied the Ecuadorians to kick Assange out of his pathetic accommodations inside their embassy, and they finally capitulated…I will be delighted the day he is thrown into an American federal penitentiary. Just one less useful idiot free for Russia to exploit-and a warning to all such scoundrels in the future.”

In the naïve battle of ‘good vs. evil’, your side of homo sapiens can never do any wrong. Pompeo writes:

“I was right in that waterboarding worked. And the CIA men and women who were tasked with collecting intelligence….operate with the highest respect for the law.”

It is so simple. We just need to kill the heretics, we just need to make criminals of people who don’t want to go along with the plans of the central planning “experts”, we just need to keep killing the “antisemites” and “terrorist regimes”.

Keep in mind that Theodor Herzl was a secular Jew just looking to help fellow Jews, he did not run around demanding any ‘rights’ to the land based on biblical-mythical claims. But as happens so often with ideologies, they are molded or adapted by the biases of adherents.

Just like Martin Luther inadvertently transformed Christian identity, so would Theodor Herzl inadvertently do likewise for Judaism and Christianity by sort of Zionizing them both, which has also had immense ramifications for the Islamic world. As with Christianity, the Islamic world had been moving in a more secular and tolerant direction but the moral outrage over Zionism reversed that leading to the Islamic Revolution in Iran, 9/11, etc.

Just like Nazi antisemitism and its root fallacies and effects where the main drivers of World War Two, it is obvious to see how Zionism and its effects have been the main driver of the recent and on-going chaos and]polarizations in the Middle East and also the current Russia-Ukraine war. Although Putin and his government are nowhere near as ‘antisemitic’ as Hitler’s was, Putin’s government gets along very well with strong critics of Israel and Zionism like Syria and Iran. Keeping with long established United Nations traditions going back to 1949, Russia recognizes territory in northern Israel referred to as the ‘Golan Heights’ as belonging to Syria, not Israel. The most important Palestinian leader, President of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, considers Russia to be a fairer and more impartial collaborator for peace than the USA. He told Putin:

“We don’t trust America…We don’t trust it, we don’t rely on it, and under no circumstances can we accept that America is the sole party in resolving a problem,”…”Russia stands by justice and international law and that is enough for us,”….”we are happy and satisfied with the Russian position.”

Legendary journalist Seymour Hersh documented how the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline that supplied cheap Russian natural gas to Germany-Europe and implying it was Russia, an obvious and horrendous act of war whose negligent cruelty also led millions of Germans and Europeans to pay exorbitant energy prices, was pushed primarily by Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, and United States National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, all three are naïve Zionist Jews.

Besides a nearly incapacitated and senile US President Biden, arguably the most powerful US politician, especially as it relates to war and foreign policy, is the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken who is Jewish and understandably likely sees Iran and Syria as some of the most sinister-evil countries in the world given their critical attitude towards Israel-Zionism and clearly anti-Semitic statements of many of their leaders. For example, on July 27, 2022, Iran’s Supreme Ruler Ali Khamenei tweeted the following:

“The Western powers are a mafia. The reality of this power is a mafia. At the top of this mafia stand the prominent Zionist merchants, and the politicians obey them. The US is their showcase, and they’re spread out everywhere.”

Khamenei is mistaking the immense influence of pro-Zionism Jews which is the result of complex evolutionary factors, for some inexistent sinister conspiracy. Further complicating matters is the fact that Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish. Zelenskyy told Israeli politicians in a Zoom meeting “You can mediate between countries, but not between good and evil.” Thus displaying the simplistic-tribalistic ‘good and evil’ mythical thinking you need for large groups of homo sapiens to slaughter each other. Zelensky is also trying to portray the good relations between Russia and Iran leading to Russians helping Iran acquire nuclear weapons. He mentioned: “Is Iran just interested in money? Probably not money at all, but Russian assistance to the Iranian nuclear program Probably, this is exactly the meaning of their alliance.” On Oct. 11, 2023, commenting on the Israel-Hamas war and general Israel-Palestine chaos, Putin mentioned that it “is a clear example of the failure of the United States policy in the Middle East…Without taking into account the fundamental interests of the Palestinian people.” Later Hamas mentioned that “[We] appreciate Russian President Vladimir Putin’s position regarding the ongoing Zionist aggression against our people and his rejection of the Gaza siege, the cutting of relief supplies, and the targeting of safe civilians there.” Likud (ruling Israeli party) member, Amir Weitmann, went on a scary anti-Russia rant in an interview with the Russia Today network mentioning that:

“Russia will pay the price! Believe me, Russia will pay the price! Russia is supporting the enemies of Israel! Russia is supporting Nazi people who want to commit genocide on us and Russia will pay the price…We’re not forgetting what you are doing, we’re not forgetting. We will come. We will make sure that Ukraine wins, we will make sure that you pay the price for what you have done. you as Russia, and you and all the enemies of Israel and you and all the people who are now making everything they can to support genocide of the Jews in Israel. we are not forgetting, we are not forgetting. Remember exactly what I’m saying now. You will pay the price!… My people is being slaughtered by your
proxies and you will pay the price.”

Notice how Amir is clearly letting us know that ‘We will make sure that Ukraine wins’, further showing how this war too is the inadvertent outgrowth of Jew-Gentile misunderstandings.

The above factors understandably cause many Jews and their sympathetic supporters in the USA and Europe to create an intellectual aura that paints Russia-Putin, as, you guessed it, the next irrational maniacal Hitler, and radiate a naïve “good vs. evil” mentality that can only lead to World War as happened in World War Two. The recently elected US Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, mentioned that: “Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran, and they’re tied in now with Russia and China. I mean, it is a new axis of evil. That’s how we see it.” There you have it. The polarizations that will lead to the Final World War are obviously outgrowths of Jew-Gentile misunderstandings.

The above massive ‘Zionist Identity’ influence must NOT be seen as some conspiracy because it is not, it is the understandable result of complex evolved cultural factors which we hope to have briefly summarized. Jewish involvement and influence in such movements-industries is yet again “indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.” If “The Jews” were smart enough to “plot” the numerous things the non-Jewish world erroneously accuses them of, they would have been smart enough to realize that Socialism-Communism was a disaster for Jew and non-Jew alike and have been telling everyone about fellow Jew Ludwig von Mises and have built him a 20+ feet solid gold statue and placed it in front of the Western Wall. The fact that they have yet to do this is further evidence that “The Jews” in general are as lost in ignorance and mythology as the rest.

As with Socialism, it is disastrous to refer in general to Zionists or Socialist as malicious people. We should not confuse myth-followers for malicious conspirators. It was Carl Menger’s intellectual descendants like Mises and Hayek who eventually helped show the intellectual fallacies in Socialism and played the biggest factor in its relative demise, Hayek even dedicated his classic book ‘The Road to Serfdom’, ‘to socialists of all parties’. Free market legend and 1976 Nobel Laureate in Economics Milton Friedman summarizes:

“There is no figure who had more of an influence, no person who had more of an influence on the intellectuals behind the iron curtain than Friedrich Hayek. His books were translated and published… by the underground, and black market editions read widely and undoubtedly influenced the climate of opinion that ultimately brought about the collapse of the soviet union.”

Similarly it is compassionate and astute education, marketing and engagement which can help reduce both, the antisemitic fallacies, as well as the Zionist ones which fuel each other. The political Socialist-minded ‘Hard Left’ erroneously loves to call Zionists some capitalists racist settler colonialists exploiters, and of course you have your naïve conspiracy-minded folks and religious ones who think Jews ‘belong to your father, the devil.’ All are wrong and simply lack the more nuanced blame-free evolutionary understanding needed to really make sense of things. The more they erroneously criticize ‘Zionist Identity’ and are thus seen as antisemites the more the power and influence of ‘Zionist Identity’ expands as obviously happened with Hitler.

Unfortunately yet understandably ‘Zionist Identity’ and its emerging organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and the growing number of Holocaust museums continue to make two disastrous errors. They continue to see antisemitism as some irrational quasi-religious-like ‘hate’ which can only be contained by intimidation and violence via ‘hate speech’ laws which does nothing to correct the fallacies and further expands them by making it more seemingly “obvious” to many naïve thinkers that ‘The Jews’ really are maliciously conspiring to silence criticism of their alleged nefarious plans. Not seeing antisemitism as an intellectual error and attempt to correct it via violence (‘hate speech’ laws) and wars is a more difficult fallacy to overcome but it is a fallacy nonetheless and just as responsible for all the chaos. We need freedom of speech so that we can really see and attempt to understand the actual content of people’s minds, especially when it is very misguided and hateful. Also, this must be stressed, making criminals out of people who due to complex factors have erroneous ideas should be seen as cruel, antiquated, uncivilized and counterproductive. Again! Antisemitism and the history of Jew-Gentile frictions must be understood as intellectual errors and anything that deviates from this like ‘hate speech’ laws are also errors. And two, they see criticism of Zionism as antisemitism which just expands the online censorship, criminalization of speech and thought, and inevitable polarizations which must inevitably lead to the destruction of freedom of speech and its vital emergent peace and competition of ideas which is especially needed to properly understand and solve our Jew-Gentile problems. If Zionism as with Socialism was an intellectual error as I certainly believe was the case, and the self-assured Zionists criminalize the necessary freedom of speech needed to criticize and help overcome the error, exactly as the Socialists and older religious priesthoods did, overcoming the fallacies-myths and discovering a solution becomes even harder and perhaps not in time to prevent the Final World War. The ADL and Holocaust museums are NOT educating people about the very understandable fallacies underpinning antisemitism and much less Zionism. Again, as with Socialists, they simply lack the proper theoretical framework to really understand things and end up spreading Zionist fallacies and preventing criticism by force via ‘hate speech’ laws. They are to Zionism and related fallacies what the Communist International was to socialist fallacies.

Next we discuss a One State Solution where everyone has equal rights, lives in peace, and can quickly become a beacon of economic education and resulting prosperity not just for everyone in the area but the whole world. Let us begin by quoting Mises again:

“Liberalism is rationalistic. It maintains that it is possible to convince the immense majority that peaceful cooperation within the framework of society better serves their rightly understood interests than mutual battling and social disintegration. It has full confidence in man’s reason. It may be that this optimism is unfounded and that the liberals have erred. But then there is no hope left for mankind’s future.”

To Mises and his intellectual disciples we either believe that we can succeed in educating ‘the immense majority’ and thus act accordingly, or “there is no hope left for mankind’s future.” The same applies to our Jew-gentile misunderstandings and Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If we do not have enough people who believe that we can educate ‘the immense majority’ about the numerous fallacies which underpin the chaos and see a prosperous future and act accordingly “then there is no hope left for mankind’s future.”

Before even discussing the actual details, any solution will need to find various Gorbachevs or Deng Xiaopings, in other words, respected leaders who can admit that their respective populations have made mistakes which have contributed to the problems. First we need Israeli-Zionist leaders who can admit that Zionism, as with Soviet and Maoist Communism, had been an understandable error. Just like the Communists continued to wreck their economies and tyranize their populations as their various central plans failed, so have the Zionists increased the chaos, suffering, and expanding world-wide censorship-tyranny and polarizations, as they keep pushing various fallacies. Prosperity for homo sapiens, regardless of what “identity” they have absorbed, comes from freedom, free markets, etc. NOT having some state that discriminates based on such “identity”, especially one founded by economically clueless ideologues and the massive displacement of over 700,000 people. Shit happens. The smart atheist Soviets and their countless “great” scientists and mathematicians and chess players fucked up big, and so did the Chinese. Economic ignorance likewise misled many Jews into preaching for Zionism, instead of economic freedom. We also need Islamic leaders to admit how their at-times conspiratorial remarks about Jews and other misguided and unsympathetic remarks have been contributors to Zionist fallacies, and ultimately “blame” understandable fallacies and misunderstandings.

We propose a single country-state with a mostly NON-Democratic government where everyone has equal rights. The central government should be minimal in the sense that it should only be involved in protecting private property and should clearly be forbidden from ever going into education, elderly care, any kind of socialized medicine, etc. This is NOT up to democratic change and is important so that Jews will not fear a larger Muslim population eventually taking their freedoms-wealth, which would definitely be the case if they were forced to pay for massive public sector welfare-state-bureaucracies attempting to provide equal access-funding for education, health services, elderly care, etc. that the economically-ignorant-though-well-intentioned-public always falls for. Freemarketeers know that democracy “is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” — Jefferson. It is not “Democracy” that brings prosperity, it is the ‘competitive knowledge discovery’ that arises out of private property and thus freedom. ‘The Voluntaryist Constitution’ provides a great foundation for such a legal structure.

Jews and Muslims and Christians, everyone, will have the obvious freedom to pool their wealth to create their own privately funded educational systems-charities and be free to discriminate if they so wish based on religion, sex, whatever their customs or free individuals agree upon. The hyper-religious Jews who want to define which homo sapiens is or is not a Jew, marriage customs, etc. can create their contracts-laws associate-disassociate with whoever they want, they just can’t coerce others.

Palestinians who were expelled during various wars and their descendants will obviously have the right to go back to the lands they were expelled from. If the lands have since been developed a simple starting solution to the potential conflicts and a way to provide some restitution to the Palestinians and help get this area on a rapid path to amazing prosperity is as follows:

Jews keep all lands and homes and buildings they currently have developed and are clearly being used for productive purposes, even the settlements in the West Bank. My guess is that this actual amount of land is probably no more than 45% of the land. Then we take the other 55% (even though much is desert), and using some simple software we distribute it to all Palestinians and their descendants who were dispossessed thus privatizing most of the country. A similar effort should be made so that Jews who were expelled from European and Muslim countries can regain their lost property. So far this simple framework accomplishes the following:

Jews should be pretty happy, no fear of a demographic majority that can then interfere with your freedom and-or property, no need to pay for the education of non-Jews or other Jews for that matter. The more religious Jews who have a super strong connection to the land can live, travel, buy land everywhere. No draconian uprooting or potentially economically devastating disruptions.

Palestinians regain their freedom and land. Since this minimal state will have minimal taxes or regulations it will quickly blossom in prosperity. Foreign investment will rush into the country to hire Palestinians, competition between them for their labor will quickly increase their pay-wealth. The land will quickly increase in value, providing much deserved compensation for the Palestinians. Eilat, Israel’s most southern city, is less than 4 hours from Jerusalem. Israel is about 8,630 squared miles. If 55% of this land is distributed among 3 million Palestinians over 18, each person will get over an acre of land close to Jerusalem in a country that will soon skyrocket in socioeconomic prosperity and serve as an example-beacon of progress.

A few thoughts regarding the feasibility of this proposal. As things are today over 20% of Israelis are Arabs. So Jews and Arabs already getting along in a single state already happens relatively peacefully, and even with all the errors associated with current Zionist state like having a flag and national anthem that represents people whose grandparents (Jews) expelled the family members and co-religionists of 20% of its population. The above suggested changes will only make it even easier to get along. Initially those whose “identities” fear-distrust each other the most will just live in more segregated parts of the country and neighborhoods just like happens in the USA with states, cities, and neighborhoods with higher proportions of various groups like blacks, Hispanics, etc. In the USA there are no black or Hispanic or White militias attacking each other and the same would occur in this new country. Blacks were once slaves with an understandable hatred of whites, yet freedom and emerging truths that we all are just fellow homo sapiens has arenas full of mostly white people paying to see mostly black basketball players.

The very mention by a few prominent Israeli and Islamic leaders that we will begin to work towards a solution along the above lines, as well as getting a few major Muslim and Jewish atheletes or influencers will greatly increase the feasability of a proposal along these lines and reverse the polarizations and direction towards the Final World War.

Loudly clamoring for a solution along these lines brings us free-marketeers tremendous advantages. We will be the only ones actually making noise and bringing attention to a rather simple-and-thus-easy-to-spread viral plan. It gives us an opportunity to teach and sort of piggyback basic economics as we explain to people how prosperity will skyrocket helping us in our more ambitious world-wide free-market educational efforts, which is obviously the key to everything.

The insightful quotes below will help us understand why it takes so long for popular myths like Socialism, slavery, and religious dogma to be overcome. Upton Sinclair mentions:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

The great free market economist Thomas Sowell tweets:

“People will forgive you for being wrong, but they will never forgive you for being right — especially if events prove you right while proving them wrong.”

Famed physicist Max Planck:

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”

Bottom line, there is an understandable ‘echo chamber’ of NEGLIGENCE and incentive structures that cause new ideas to spread slowly as the always prideful apes have to admit to being wrong and also losing their paychecks.
