I want to share this video with my fellow members, with whom I believe it will resonate.
It’s a long video, but the author and narrator has a pleasant voice and delivery, and the accompanying photos are a delight to the eye, illustrating many of his points quite well. I hope you will find it worth your time.
From below the video:
To summarize the key points, I believe we need..
1. ..true ‘nations’ – which aren’t like hotels, airports, or shopping malls, but rather a *home* to a *family*: ‘Philia’ is key.
2. ..to simplify, and to learn to need and want *less*, with a renewed focus on what truly matters.
3. ..to studiously develop any new structure (political, economic, spiritual, philosophical) from the ground up with an eye towards staving off even the most creative attempts at subversion, parasitism, corruption foremost in mind.
4. ..to cultivate something of a new human type, an ‘Overman’ that bends the knee only to God – immune to petty temptations and distractions, fostering a relationship with the divine in their place – everywhere seeking to manifest greater strength, health, and beauty
5. ..to be willing to fight not merely to better our own lot, but that of others.. with a recognition that a failure here essentially guarantees the international domination of an enemy ideology/culture – which would then proceed to place us foremost in the crosshairs, with unlimited money and manpower at their disposal – making it both the right thing to do, and an absolute *necessity*.
Asha Logos doesn’t post often, but when he does the message is powerful and beautifully presented. He invites “anyone interested in conversing or collaborating with like-minds to join us (www.element.io , create a free account and then email us the username at TPPAdmissions@protonmail.com).. and I’d like to reiterate: along with the goal of fostering friendships, alliances and social bonds, this environment is intended to be less a forum for me to lead and organize, and more a forum to cultivate leaders and organizers. Proactivity is strongly encouraged.”
P.S. While watching the video I kept thinking – Micheal Piz will find this video interesting

The video is nice for sure. But is is really a good one?
Yeah, it identifies a number of real problems. So far so good. But then goes to imagine-land. And the suggested solutions are… you say new revolution? No, its the old marxist revolution.
I heard most of those points and promises endlessly. Almost verbatim. Yeah, profit sucks, Yeah, do w need 100 brands of toothpaste packaged in shiny art? Hell no. Out planning office with all the wise people can give you the single best toothpaste. And same for bread and car an everything. We won’t waste any resources on BS, only work for the good of the people. We’ll reach and overtake the capitalist pigs in the next 5-year plan. So say we all.
Didn’t we try it so many times and saw it fail consistently in the real world? Okay, the guy talks about imagine-land where the people are wise. Yes, there all the socialist things work very fine. In this real world they don’t. For the simple reason that the assumption if a false one: people are not wise. And will not be. And we don’t have any magic that would tell us what is the benefit of the people. Even if we had a definition for that in the first place. And then somehow gained the agreement of all the individual people.
Yeah, profit and free market and real freedom of choice (without being banned for watching that porn by the Master at the helm as something he despises) are evil, just still remains our mostly working tool to measure the value. And what real-life people want.
Is anyone fooled by him replacing the planning office with the magic that runs wisdom of the crowds on computers and assigns weights based on some circular logic?
Do we need 80 minutes of prose for this, when John Lennon presented it in about 3 with cool music?
While a solution for the identified problems was also described in much simpler way, i.e. read Tranai. Just restore the balance between power and responsibility. You want to be the major? No prpblem, just stamp your name over the previous one. After you took over the exploding medal you wear on your neck. Presto.
After that, I had to watch it, didn’t I? And I’m very glad I did. I could only come to the obvious conclusion:
It’s horrific.
As anyone who has read my posts and comments should know, I don’t do religion. However, I get in my own way to a point where I agree with nearly all the Christian values that deal with this world. (The rest is, at best, silly. At worst, it’s murderous.) No quarrel with religion itself, only with those who would force it on me. So a government that has those values at its base is fine with me, again though, as long as it sticks to the secular implementation of those values (which the Founders most definitely did when they disallowed any government established religion) and doesn’t try to force a religion on me.
But this guy grabs a few words that he uses to make him sound godly (which he only even mentions extremely briefly and at the very beginning and end), shows a bunch of pictures intended to make the viewer think of great works of art, peaceful and happy communities, and the very western greatness his ideas would destroy, and uses them to make it look like his ideas are better than what we had even at our best as he actually calls for…
…communism.
Listen especially to 29:10 through about 40:00. He’s describing pure collectivism with some direct democracy thrown in. Pure democracies always fail (that’s why were a representative republic and limit the use of popular votes to choosing the House). we know the track record for socialism and communism.
How many times does he mention doing things “collectively?” Over and over again. He calls for the whole of the people to vote to approve damn near everything, without considering any local or individual circumstances that might make sense, say, in Topeka but not in Burbank. Nope, it’s all, in effect, a national popular vote on whether Jim in Dayton will be allowed to open a bicycle repair shop. Are you kidding me? There’s a damn good reason why we don’t use a national popular vote for anything.
How long do you think this dictatorship of the proletariat would last? A few months at best once people realize that, with a population of 330 million, the American people would see that they have to hold nearly continuous votes on what people will be allowed to do. Then they’re ripe for someone to step up and say, “I’ll relieve you of that pain in the ass. Let me [and, inevitably, my cronies, but this ‘savior’ won’t say that] make those decisions for you. I promise I’ll only use objective criteria and judge everything by what’s best for us. Really, I will. After all, I’ll have that Database of Everything™ [mentioned in the video] at my disposal. It’ll make your lives easier not to have to constantly vote on everything. I’ll do it.”
Or, if by some miracle the popular vote about the numberless Jims somehow manages to survive, we’ll have a dictatorship of the majority, the kind the Constitution was specifically and deliberately designed against.
And listen to how he goes on about making decisions based only on the best information. Doesn’t communism also claim to be the scientific system? It does and it’s not. And best information? Who decides?
Then what?
The same as happens to every collectivist state. Failure and death.
I say no. This guy is trying to sneak in base collectivism as the solution to our problems. If these Ideas take over, you can just kill me now. I will have none of it.
And I say even more emphatically, shame on all of you who hear the word “God,” turn off your minds, and then take this video to be a good thing.
P.S. He does have a pleasant voice, doesn’t he. Exactly the kind to lull your intellect and judgment to sleep. For the sake of fuck, how can anyone miss the intent here? I mean, come on, he explicitly says he wants a centrally planned economy!
I personally think the Constitution is the best document ever written by man and fulfills the need for a form of government that will last in the face of all forms of interference from the outside as long as it is followed to the letter! The problem is we have to start all over again using this eternal document to form our government all over again with new people who will have the courage to face the challenge. This means a new Constitutional Convention with newly elected representatives from each state to form a new Congress with the sole intent to not change a thing about the document, but start following it. This will require Martial Law to allow the military to maintain our security from foreign influences and threats until the new government is ready to act. We cannot allow socialism or collectivism to infect the greatest nation on this planet. We can do this, but we have to do it ourselves.
I don’t even know if this will work, but it’s the best scenario I can come up with at present. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I have faith in our true ability to govern ourselves.
I don’t know about the specific method you describe but in principle I agree entirely. But nothing at all like the video wants.
Well, once again, you show me for a shallow & ill-educated thinker. 🤕Ya beat me up pretty bad. My face is flaming as I write this 🥴. Sadly, I think I’m fairly well informed, and not stupid, so your diatribe has found its mark. Still, I disagree that the message is meant to sneakily impart the ideology of communism. However, the message does illustrate that we humans can be gulled and enchanted with the idea of utopia, and are thus easy prey for the persuasion of communism. I think this is the case for this video and the mind-set of the author. I might be wrong. I don’t follow him closely.
I’m as much of an individualist as you are, Michael. You don’t know me except for what I have posted here. You might be surprised to know that I’m a bit of misanthrope and iconoclast. Obviously not a deep-thinker, like yourself. That’s one reason why I like Bill Whittle and other thinkers and doers I follow. I know I’m not intellectually equipped to do anything but listen to them if their values generally mirror mine in order not to ignorantly or foolishly be led astray by fancy, soothing words and pretty pictures.
You shame me for turning off my mind because the word God is used. That is absolutely not the case with me. I believe in God but I am not close-minded.
I am that “anyone” ffs who missed the intent of this video, if in fact what you claim was the intent of it, otherwise I wouldn’t have posted it. Communism is an evil ideology that has been patiently encroaching upon us for over a hundred years if not longer. I am very afraid that it has taken root and that sickens me.
Thank you for watching the video and explaining it for us. I’d hate to think something I posted led anyone down the wrong path.
Lynda,
I didn’t mention you in my comment. That’s because it wasn’t intended specifically for you. (I didn’t even see who had posted until after I had written the comment.) I apologize if it appears so.
I stand by what I wrote about the video’s content and about people – no matter who – allowing themselves to be fooled. I have encountered far too many people, religious or not, who hear words that (for lack of a better term) trigger their minds to make assumptions about the content they’re seeing and miss things that directly contradict their actual views. It happens to me, too. I try not to let it happen, making a point to watch for that mistake, but I’m not perfect at it. That might not have happened to you in this case but my experience leads me to think it’s important enough to mention.
Again, I apologize if you took it personally.
I did take it personally, but thanks for saying you didn’t mean it to be. Mainly, I’m embarrassed that I didn’t see through the pretty pictures and la-la-land ideas. Good thing I posted it – at least I learned to be more discerning.
