Utopia, the imaginary ideal society, the Eden of collective and universal yearning is at the root of Left and progressive thought. A utopian society is the political and social goal of some leftist and progressive narratives. For others the perfect society is itself the ideological means toward redemption. No left or progressive intellectual narrative is impervious to some sort of utopian ideal.
But for about half of the American people, utopia is nostalgic. The return of the ‘American Dream,’ of being great once again – this is the idyllic dream shared by supporters of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
The history of ideas has seen this transition before. The Jewish Cultural Marxists of the 1930s were shocked by a similar development. Wilhelm Reich and other prominent members of the Frankfurt School were bewildered by the success of National Socialism and Fascism. They couldn’t figure out how was it possible that the German and Italian workers favoured ‘reactionary’ fascism over a ‘communist utopia.’
In Germany in the 1930s, as in America 2016, it was nostalgia and romanticism that gave utopia meaning, the yearning for a national rootedness over a ‘progressive’ Shangri La.
The Jewish ‘Left’ quickly diagnosed what was wrong with the Germans, for Wilhelm Reich it was German sexuality. He had the ridiculous idea that German women being sexually suppressed was at the core of German inclination towards authoritarianism. The Jewish psychoanalyst must have been convinced that dildos were the key to a communist revolution. A few years later, Adorno improved on Reich’s paradigm, adding a few other criteria to the model of the “authoritarian personality.” Adorno, Reich and the rest of the cultural Marxists were obviously deluded. Pornography, dildos and the sexual revolution didn’t mature into a political revolution. Quite the opposite, they contributed to alienation, reification and suppression of pretty much every human value.
The Germans and the National Socialists weren’t too tolerant of Reich and the other members of the Frankfurt School. Reich and the Frankfurt Schoolers had to run for their lives. The Frankfurt Research Institute relocated at Columbia University in New York City from where it devoted the next few years to the destruction of the cohesiveness of the American people.
Unlike the German people who were quick to reject the Jewish revolutionary progressive school, it took the American intelligentsia half a century to detect the subversive role of the Institute that planted identity politics and political correctness at the heart of America’s academia, culture, media and politics.
And now, in 2016, the Jewish progressive elite is making exactly the same mistake the Frankfurt School made in the 1930s. The reaction of the likes of Noam Chomsky and The Jewish Daily Forward to the American working people is catastrophic and dangerous. Chomsky calls Trump voters “White poor working class”*, The Jewish Daily Forward calls them “White supremacist,” “losers” and “bullies.” And what is the real the crime of all these “White losers”? Simple, they are nostalgic.
Chomsky calls Trump voters “White poor working class”, is he misinformed or just lying?*
It is noticeable that Jewish progressive institutions and left icons are horrified by “White people” being ‘nostalgic,’ but why? Why are the Jews, a people who are obsessed with their own past, so afraid of other people, say ‘White’ people, being nostalgic for their own past? Ready? Beware; I am about to drop a bomb.
The progressive Jew grasps that the working class are nostalgic for a pre-Jerusalem Dominated society; a time when American politics weren’t controlled by the likes of Saban, Soros, Goldman, Sachs and other global capitalists who are isolated from production, manufacturing and farming. The so called ‘progressives’ in Democracy Now, Real News, The Jewish Daily Forward and the other Soros funded outlets can interpret the primaries. They are fearful of being relegated to the ghetto.
But do they have reason? Has anyone mentioned expelling the Jews? Or curtailing Jewish power? Not at all. The progressive fear of the so-called ‘reactionary’ is fuelled by a deep understanding that the American past was indeed greater than the progressive present – the tyranny of correctness, the identitarian dictatorship and, more than anything else, the lack of a future that is attached to Mammonism – the relentless sick of Mammon for the sake of Mammon.
On a further note, in historical retrospect, the entire work of the Cultural Marxists, Wilhelm Reich, the Frankfurt school and their contemporary progressive merchants can be trashed. Their agenda has become transparent, they were committed to misleading society about the simple fact that true utopia is nostalgic. They devoted themselves to concealing what is obvious and undeniable: for the working people rootedness is true liberation and romanticism is truly romantic.

*As usual it is hard to figure out whether Chomsky is misinformed or just lying. A quick internet search reveals that Trump’s “voters are better off economically compared with most Americans.” (click here) Trump also enjoys a growing number of educated people (click here). When Chomsky refers to ‘wide general agreement’ you should always expect a lie. Being a linguist, Chomsky has established a manner of non-committal spin culture — ‘general agreement’ doesn’t have to correspond with truth.

Gilad, you are amazing. Thank you for your perspectives. You’ve definitely got my ears now after reading your reply to Edward.
Note: “Racism” (like “antisemitism”) is a straw man used to destroy valid arguments. I would research along the lines of respecting ethnic separations and why that makes sense in a multi-ethnic nation or society as long as respect is required. America had the opportunity to be that. But the insurgents took it over the ledge. And of course … that is so they could control all opposition and do their best to actually create a race-war.
And I should say “replies” to Edward.
I call this dementia, or an alternative to being “saved”. A feeling of satisfaction and stead fast security that to this day can be bought if the mindset is weak enough. Insurance rings a bell, so does that steady paycheck and newer car with the newly renovated house and new stuff for the kids every year including new college tech and new clothes and new friends and new whatever. As long as its not old a broken and insurance covers any damages its all good.
Forget the old German concept of utopia as a nation strong in values and industry. Its money we dont have the jobs we pretend make our lives stable thats the new zionist model for utopia, but it doesnt work in Palestine, or South America, or Central America, or anywhere else but America. We, the white class of America are the chosen race of recipients to the great zionist plan of profit from war and we have no choice but to accept or fall into poverty. Its easier to just forget everything except what we need to buy next and the heavy work week ahead.
Slipped on that last paragraph like a drunk on curb. Money we dont have because its credit, controled by the jobs we pretend supply the debt. Instant stability, until reality sets in for that short while in between distractions. Like over drafts and interest forever. Why do we need to establish credit by having debt in order to buy a home or car? Odd.
correct… jewish cults for goyim only ,,, this is the core impetus behind cultural marxism
Saw your vid of “Gaza mon Amour”.
Fine peace, very good musicians, drums a little bit taken from “Take five”, a breeze of Kletschmer, and harmonic scales played by your sax, with a little influence from the Spanish Flamenco, sounds top for a live performance. For my Teutonic taste the Guitar player is a bit to jazzy. 🙂

The American dream was always shit, propaganda to attract immigrants.
The cake of the US economy has not changed since the 80s. Growth was paid with debt and poor foreigners who had to buy the worthless Greenback. The question is, how the cake is shared.
Correct,,, the American Dream was a fantasy but the nostalgia is real …. I should write about it …
Mr. Atzmon, I would say that American’s “utopia, nostalgia” relates to the values, beliefs, and behaviors that are central to God’s plan, which is under attack by the devil’s offspring.
The Holy Bible, from cover to cover, is God’s instructions to (1) love Him and be obedient to His laws, and then to (2) love our righteous neighbors.
Hebrews 10:16-17 God’s laws are planted in DNA [there is no defense of disobedience]
“In their minds I will plant my Laws, writing them on their hearts…..”
Hebrew 11:6 Faith [trust]
“Now it is impossible to please God without faith, since anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.”
Proverbs 6:16 God hates and abhors specific behaviors [memorize and obey]
“There are six things that God hates, seven that he abhors: a haughty look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that weaves wicked plots, feet that hurry to do evil, a false witness who lies with every breath and one who sows dissension among brothers.”
John 8:42-47 the difference between God’s offspring and the devil’s offspring [know your enemy]
Jesus said, “…I have my origin in God and have come from Him … You are from your father, the devil, and you prefer to do what your father wants. He was a murderer from the start; he was never grounded in the truth; there is no truth in him at all. When he lies, he is speaking true to his nature, because he is a liar, and the father of lies. … the reason why you do not listen is that you are not from God.” [However, the devil’s offspring have mated with God’s offspring all over the world and “yoked” innocent generations to the devil.]
Romans 2:5-11 Jews are not exempt from God’s retribution [God’s offspring are His chosen people, not the devil’s offspring]
“Your [Jews] stubborn refusal to repent is only storing up retribution for yourself on that Day of retribution when God’s just verdicts will be made known. He will repay everyone as their deeds deserve. For those who aimed for glory and honor and immortality by persevering in doing good, there will be eternal life; but for those who out of jealousy have taken for their guide not truth but injustice, there will be the fury of retribution. … There is no favoritism with God. … As my scripture says: It is your [Jews] fault that the name of God is held in contempt among the nations.”
Turns out that leading Dutch anti-Islamic political leader, ‘close the mosques’ Geert Wilders with the fake dyed blonde hair, nominally Christian … is actual Jewish on his mother’s side, with Indonesian-Muslim heritage as well … and Wilders has been frequently seen visiting the Dutch Israeli embassy – Mossad agent?
Wilders’ grandmother was Johanna Ording-Meijer [Mayer etc] … his ancestors were administrators in the Netherlands’ Indonesian colony & married locals … for more racist Dutch, Wilders is a lower-caste ‘half breed’ … funny given Wilders ‘pure Christian Dutch’ agenda … his ‘Freedom Party’ tho popular is already regarded by some Dutch as ‘controlled opposition’ tied to Mossad, hence the wild statements etc
This doesn’t take me by surprise ,,,thanks for that
Mr. Wilder is an activist of indigene Dutch people, why not? And it is no crime in the Netherlands to be a Jew. So i do not understand your point?
Do you want to close West-Indian-reservations in the US?
henrymakow – Racial Prejudice thrives in Canada

“I would like to share my personal experiences growing up as an African American in Canada to allow you to see the world through my eyes and feel how I feel.
Hey Blackies , what are you up to hear? you’re lucky you didn’t run or my four legged friend hear would be chowing down on you” half the group was white but he proceed only to speak to the 4 black guys there including myself. .. “
I met some 16 years ago a black banker from Texas, he had studied economy at the university of the German city of Gießen. He told me, that in his home-state Texas he is not wanted, he travelled a longer time through black Africa, but black Africa was strange for his feelings. In Germany, he said, he is seen and treated as an US American, not gemütlich, but acceptable. Why do Black people in the US do not follow Mr. Farakhan? He demands for own Black states in North-America, if i had understand him correctly.
Various ethnic groups need separation – the American Dream was an experiment in fomenting racial conflict, and “racism” as a byword is thus a straw man.
funny how it’s ok for some of the most racist dogs on the planet,
to try to brand people “white supremacists”. the anti-Christ-anic scream anti-semite if we don’t like what they are doing, when they are not even semitic to begin with, but Khazars.
personally I’m under the impression hitler was PUT into power to ensure another complete destruction of the Germany jewish clergy had declared war upon. NAZI, NAtional ZIonism, hitler had a LOT of zionists in very high positions, much like the USA has today.
Prescott Bush, busted for funding hitler during wartime, “magically” has son and grandson as presidents exactly how? GHWB’s CIA has been importing DOPE and exporting weapons ever since the Korean war, sabotaged our real economy, erected a fascist police state very much like how Germany was set up, then demonized and holocausted!
Captain, Sir,
your allegation is shared by many commentators and some Editors here. if do you study detailed the WW1 and the Weimar republic in Germany and the international relations, you will find out other results. I have no problem to provide you with the historical facts. After the Versailles treaty Germany was already destroyed and in the early 30s, regarding Mr. Atzmon’s article, it was at its end already.
Edward yes I understand that, Germany was artificially propped up shortly after WW1 so it could be destroyed again. the manipulators determined to control or destroy, chose both “by way of deception”. the stuff dates back to mid-late 1800’s with the same “devil’s children” trying to take over OR ELSE!, the real history of that is suppressed too.
