On Usurpations and the Plague of Locusts

“The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise — with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.” – Lincoln 

Whenever a class of people, self-anointed, seeks to impose Utopia on the world, a dark and all-consuming evil ignites the minds of men with unquenchable fire. Whenever a group of people seeks to arrogate the power of the people to themselves, a dark and all-consuming evil compels men to consign millions to the pit. It is not merely that power corrupts but that some people are compelled to corrupt democratically distributed power through statist centralization. They suffer under the “illusion of central position” but their state-centered machines of murder proliferate.
