American Leechism

American culture no longer values the individual. Our politicians reflect that fact. Political ideals are no longer discussed in terms of individual rights but in terms of the undefined collective.

Politicians often use terms such as common good, public good, common interest, public interest, for the many, general welfare, etc. Such language allows the politician to avoid acknowledging their victim—the individual. It’s much easier to push an anti-freedom agenda when one invokes the “common interest.”

Americans have reduced politics to gang warfare, whereby many gangs fight to plunder and enslave the others. Legions of leeches feed on the individual, not realizing that the blood will someday run out. Will the leeches then feed on central planners?

Central planners are empty shells with nothing to give; glorified god-king leeches who contribute nothing to the world because they have nothing to offer. They have stolen what little value they possess and distribute just enough of the spoils to keep control of their leech armies. In the end, the leeches will betray their masters too late and we will all suffer.

American Leechism has replaced the American Dream. The blame lies with our intellectuals. America needs new intellectuals to be flames in the coming darkness.
