The great reset, a term popularised during the covid era, is one name among many for an economic process which stirred in the eighties, the so called neo liberal shift from post war social democracy. It’s roots however lie in 1960s postmodernism, a western liberal rebellion against reason and the scientific method. In a riposte to traditional Marxism, postmodern academics prefer ideals, specifically the fantastical notion that any fact which does not advance these ideals is self evidently untrue. Usually, the ideals are lefty sounding – diversity, choice, openness. But it is the interests of the individual over the collective with which they are concerned; almost always the ‘ideals’ are marshalled in support of the free market.

Today, the directing influence of economic power over our lives, the most basic truth of how the world works, is barely discerned anymore let alone acknowledged. It lies buried beneath a mystique of ‘lifestyle’ and ‘culture’, personalised to abate the feelings of isolation or helplessness which grow in us when we are detached from our group identities.

Governments, whose responsibility should be to protect the citizen from systemic exploitation by vested interests, now do the precise opposite, grooming us to read the commodification of our lives as freedom. The driver of the process is a coterie of the usual suspects, the academics, journalists, lawyers, scientists and health professionals whose role in engineering our societies has always been subordinated first to the needs of the powerful. Today, these stakeholders, elevated above the political actors, confer on this reactionary anti science the aura of authenticity. The vehicle of change however has always been the same; it is crisis … created, exaggerated or misused to justify self serving interventions in our lives.

Our new rulers, the patrician class of puppet politicians, technocrats, billionaires, influencers, bloggers and intellectuals who direct their appeal to our senses rather than our intelligence, exercise almost total control over global mass media. The technocratic new order they are building is nothing more than a supersized version of the old mercantile capitalism, set up to enable the plunder of our human resources, not anymore by landlords or bosses but by giant, borderless corporations and billionaires.

For the nation state, and the citizen whose rights it guarantees, the future is bleak. Any national community perceived by corporate actors, and the ‘statesmen’ they control, to be resistant to economic absorption faces systemic attack up to and including the ‘full spectrum’ wars of sovereign annihilation waged against Iraq, Libya and Syria. In the face of the apocalyptic warnings which precede all these wars, and the crusades at home, it’s likely many citizens will surrender their autonomy willingly, indifferent to the fate of recalcitrant foreigners or neighbours.

As endless wars, moral crusades and insurrections, driven by the interests of non state actors, threaten to overwhelm our deconstructing world, we must recognise the reality of our present condition. Freed from the racism of the right and the materialism of the left, it is time to open our minds to the original National Bolshevik vision of an authentic nationhood governed by principles of social justice. An international order of peaceful, self governing communities, freed from the control of an inhuman financial system, must be our ‘reset’ or in the end we will live our lives as little more than the perennial objects of a rapacious greed we can no longer see.

On our ABOUT page you can read a brief introduction to National Bolshevism (NatBol), a revolutionary concept of national communities liberated from the control of the global market.
