Politicians Are Not Statesmen

"There is no one so obedient as a man who must depend upon another for his survival. If the costs of health care, heating fuel, gasoline, and food are all too expensive after years of steady inflation, then government discretion over who gets what turns politicians into princes.

"Conversely, a person free from debts to either financial institutions or government apparatchiks is a person free to chart a life beyond the reach of their coercion. Therefore, those who seek to maximize wealth and power have a perverse incentive to rule over destitute nations.

"Call it the road to serfdom. Call it socialism hiding inside the Trojan horse of late-stage capitalism. Call it Marxist globalism intent on creating a small class of masters and several continents of slaves. Whatever it is called, it represents the controlled demolition of entire nation-states. When central banks and politicians work together to fleece ordinary citizens, they create the conditions for despotism, poverty, and...sometimes...revolutions for change."

Don't Surrender Western Christendom

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
