Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions

"The ideology is all just window dressing."

This is the secret of all Communist Revolutions. They are about power.

Communist revolutions generally promise prosperity, but it leads to rob and plunder of those who work, to give to those who are dysfunctional and riot.

The authors call the instigators and leaders of these revolutions as 'Unhuman'. They destroy civilizations and lead to "oppression, of denial of human rights and nihilism".

What makes us Humans

"Great civilizations have always organzied and risen from these characteristics, from the ancient world to the Roman Empire to the West today.
The authors argue that it is humanity itself currently under threat. They unwrap the history of Communism, a dehumanizing philosophy ofoppression, of denial of human rights and nihilism." [Steve Bannon, Foreword to the book]

Who are the unhumans?

"'Unhumans' simply refers to those Homo sapiens who seek nothing but destruction of human society, borne of grievance and misery and nihilism. Unquestionably, we are in a period of this unhuman ascension." [Steve Bannon, Foreword to the book]

They are driven by petty resentment and cruelty.

Just as we have people with natural love for beauty and truth, there are people with hatred for life and civilizational values.

It is our job to ensure there are no sources of unchecked power such as powerful governments. People with hatred for life and civilizational values will be drawn to sources of unchecked power so they can use it against humanity.

If we fail, it will be the end of humanity.

"Those who fail at repelling the repulsive fall to unhumanity—to a state of affairs in which human thriving is impossible and surviving improbable."

How do unhumans do it?

How do unhumans get power and implement their agenda?

They do it in two ways.

First by creating conflict between haves and have-nots.

"It all begins with a wedge between two identifiable groups in a given society—the haves, and the have-nots."

"Resentment is an emotion bred by those who lose the lottery of life. It’s not fair, as life never is. But it should be fair, shouldn’t it? Those who got more, by luck or by work, should have less. That’s only fair. Isn’t it?"

Unhumans appeal to this resentment between haves and have-nots.

"The first policy of the unhuman is terror..." This is the 'Red Terror' of Communism.

"Lenin’s hatred for the aristocrats of Russia was palpable. He truly hated the Christian Russian imperials, lords of the many nationalities that the empire encompassed. And his speeches were, of course, persuasive. To whom? To those at the bottom of society: vagrants, thieves, violent criminals, various minorities, and the overall unsuccessful."

"The Bolsheviks—these were his earliest followers. In Russian, the word means “the majority.” Indeed, many people then and there and here and now feel slighted by life at best, cheated and taken advantage of at worst. No one has ever said life is fair. It isn’t. That’s not how it works. There are always going to be winners and losers. It’s a simple fact of life. But when that fact gets turned into a movement born of anger and vengeance, the violence is never far away. The unhumans bring it."

Second, "Communism is a tactic to take power wherever it is applied, and is solely focused on taking power."

"With power, unhumans undo civilization itself. They undo order. They undo the basic bonds of society that make communities and nations possible. They destroy the human rights of life, liberty, and property—and undo their own humanity in the process by fully embracing nihilism, cynicism, and envy."

Power of Persuasion via Media

The author gives several examples where the 'Unhumans' use the power of media for mind-control.

"The key to understanding this is the power of persuasion. If the institutions that create our society’s mental model are infiltrated by radicals who hate those they deem oppressors, then public perception is decided inadvance."

Outcome of the 'revolution'

Outcome of the 'revolution' is tyranny and poverty for all.

Unhumans unleash anarcho-tyranny. "What is this anarcho-tyranny? Anarcho-tyranny is the selective overenforcement of laws against a target population alongside the selected nonenforcement of laws on another target population. This is the case in the present-day United States, as it has been in all societies being groomed for radical takeover and violent revolution."

"Unhumans then and now are known for criminalizing self-defense and defending criminals."

"From the haves, everything was taken: life, liberty, property. Envy and vengeance unleashed. A broken world was not repaired; it was, to use a favorite left-ism, “dismantled.” But that does not mean Russia’s have-nots got their justice or even equality. They did not. Lenin brought no great reforms to ease burdens or alleviate (or prevent) suffering."

"Unhumans live to persecute the normal, once they take power."

The book has a study of Russian, Spanish, French, Cuban, and Chinese revolutions.

"Scale the scene of the Romanov murders up, and that is the story of early Soviet Russia: nasty, brutal, and vicious. And occasionally stupid."

How to fight back?

Meanwhile, "Conservatives have lost years of ground by being obsessed with debating “facts and logic” rather than doing the grubby work of entering institutions and remaking them from inside."

The author suggests three ways to fight the 'Unhumans'.

Starve the beast: The author calls this the 'Ouroboros Option (The Snake Eats Itself)'. If left alone, it will attack and consume its tail. However, this takes a long time and there is lot of pain and suffering in the meantime. So, we have to isolate ourself (containment) from the terror. "Containment requires keeping the unhumans where they are. Let them destroy themselves, yes, and far away from the rest of us."

Support the best Humans who can fight Unhumans: Support the best with the traits you want. They will organize the army to fight for you. The author gives example of General Franco of Spain, "Wherever I am, there will be no communism."

Invest in changing the world: "Left Wing Billionaires think like great men of history whose goal is to change the world... while [the] right only invests in things that make money."
