The evil global/ lefty elites-- why they are what they are

Our society is desperate to make excuses for the monsters of our era, perhaps because we would rather not entertain the possibility that there is a dark side to humanity that, if allowed, could take control in a deliberate and calculated way. This is why the greatest crimes of our time often go ignored by the public. The idea, for instance, that international financiers and political elites would purposely create economic disparity, social chaos and global war out of a desire for centralized power and a disturbed sense of superiority is simply too much for many to handle. Surely, these terrible events throughout our modern history are merely the result of random coincidence and human error, right? Unfortunately, this is not the case. In fact, most catastrophic cultural policies and tragedies can be traced back directly to a subset of people who use their positions of influence for ill purpose and who knowingly engineer calamity.

"Global elitists tend to see themselves as a separate breed of human being, a superior class with superior faculties, born to rule over the rest of us. In their writings they often espouse the teachings of The Republic by Plato and the concept of the philosopher kings. They believe that some men and women are endowed with a genetic predisposition to leadership and that the average person does not have the intelligence to determine his own destiny. They see the rest of humanity as a blank canvas and themselves as the artists. We are to be molded, and our social dichotomies are to be manipulated."

If people like Matsop weren't so loud, they'd have less reason to believe this.

True but you will still defend them to the death like all of you right wingers do.

you love the corporate elite and you and all the other right wingers will do everything they can to defend all tax cuts that they get and scream for more deregulation's

True, but if you think it's the Liberals who are doing stuff like this you are sadly mistaken.

You're saying Obama isn't a liberal?

In recent history, almost all particularly ignominius dictators got their training wheels from the left side of thought process.

I don't see reference to "corporate" elites in the article.

This article reads like it was written by Hitler. I'm reminded of chapter 2 of Mien Kampf.

Sorry punchy but, Obama is no neo-liberal. He's not a liberal either though. He is a progressive which can be interchanged into both parties. His talk and his walk are two totally different things.

Honestly, how do these Americans get away with calling themselves conservatives having never read any Burke? The idea of a group of power elites carefully and deliberately controlling world events was laughable centuries ago and it is even more laughable today. Society is simply too complex to allow for that sort of tampering.

Ayn Rand was a leftist?? Seriously, a good article, but it is a problem everywhere, just more noticeable on the left.

Sounds just like Obama and Soros.

The sad part is you democrat sheeple just love what they are doing. Sooner or later all the stalins, Mussolini's, and Hitlers of the world meet their end.

Matsop: You put "lefty" in the headline, but the words liberal, Democrat, left and Obama appear nowhere in the article. It's pretty clear the author doesn't like the right-wing elite any more than the left-wing elite. He doesn't even call all the globalists collectivists, instead saying they can be individualists:

"Top globalists are not necessarily collectivists themselves. In fact, they often swing far to the other end of the spectrum into an aberrant form of individualism."
