“Neoconservatism is not an ideology; it is a state of mind,” asserts Salim Mansur – a state of mind ultimately based on the myth of the “Noble Lie.”
Tellingly, both of these terms – ‘neoconservatism’ and the ‘Noble Lie’ – are unknown to most people. While the latter originates with the early philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, the former is a legacy of 20th century world history.
Essentially, neoconservatism is based on the ‘Noble Lie’ that some people (the ‘elites’) are endowed with a natural right to rule other people (the masses). As such, it is an attitude of the Left, and is perfectly consistent with the teachings and practice of Marxism.
Turning lies into some kind of ‘noble’ virtue is a necessity for all groups and ideologies of the Left, for the simple reason that Leftist ideas are not noble in any respect; they do not correspond to reality or to reason. That’s why the consequences of their actions are so consistently destructive to humanity.
One of neoconservatism’s current ‘noble lies’ is its pretended advancement of ‘democracy’ through perpetual war. But like advocates of the ‘Noble Lie,’ neoconservatives are completely opposed to democracy as government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
Similarly, while uttering it own version of the ‘Noble Lie’ in the name of ‘democracy,’ America’s Democratic Party is utterly opposed to every democratic principle imaginable – from freedom of speech to honoring the results of elections.
And of course, the guardians of the Noble Lie have been those entrusted with exposing the lie: members of the corporate mainstream media – the so-called fourth estate.
Fortunately, the lies are now being identified and exposed, thanks to today’s alternate information platforms. Of course, identifying the lies is just half of the equation. Identifying the truth is the other half, namely, that neoconservatives are advocates of global state tyranny.
Thus if the nature of neoconservatism is indeed a ‘state of mind,’ then it seems to us that one way to politically describe neoconservatism in a way that is Just Right would be: a Mind of State.
