History Does NOT Repeat Itself Without It Being Deliberate And Planned
All of us have always heard the narrative that humanity never learns from past mistakes in history and is therefore destined to repeat them over and over again. As “proof” of this false narrative, historians point to repeated occurrences of events detrimental to humanity over time. However, this is the desired interpretation of history by the ruling class of the “proles”, the class of citizens that the ruling class views with disdain and as animals whose only purpose on planet Earth is to serve their needs.
To begin, the “mistakes” referenced by historians are not mistakes made by the majority of people, but by a very small ruling class of a few hundred to a few thousand that make all policy decisions - whether economic, monetary, political, regulatory, or of a foreign/military nature.
Consequently, if indeed, these mistakes are even “mistakes’, of which I profess that they are not, it is only a very small fraction, not the majority, of humanity that execute such mistakes.
For example, the exact same Central Banker policies that created the Great Depression of the late 1920s/ early 1930s were executed in creating the 2008 global financial crisis and were executed once again between 2008 and 2020 in the creation of a super bubble of price distortions that dwarf the ones they created in 2008.
However, to classify these decisions as “mistakes” and an “inability to learn” from the dire consequences of similar past historical decisions is much too simplistic and naïve an interpretation by historians. I vociferously argue instead that such “mistakes” are deliberate decisions executed with careful and precise calculation, and not mistakes at all.
Rather such executed behaviors, because the ruling class has specifically designed them to further consolidate their power, are only disguised as “mistakes” in narratives they forward through the mass media and on social media platforms.
Such behaviors display not an inability, but rather an inordinate ability, to learn from the past. It is no surprise that Eric Blair’s 1984 is the top selling book on Amazon this week, as this book has already been banned in some Asian nations in which uprisings against the State have been ongoing for many months now.
In addition to a growing interest fostered by a ban by State leaders, interest in 1984 has originated out of a curiosity of others to simply understand truths about the systems that control our lives, whether that system is the monetary system, the capital asset pricing system, the political system, the legal system or any other of the multitude of systems that serve as established societal pillars for nations around the world.
And perhaps there is a growing number of people interested in reading any book that helps them understand how the system has been rigged against them, and why we have perhaps so willingly embraced and lauded a system in past years that is so obviously rigged against us. Frankly, if I could influence a resurgence of popularity in any book today, I would have chosen F.A. Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom over 1984, but 1984 will suffice for now.
