“
Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right, and toleration of movements from the Left”…
— Herbert Marcuse
“
Life is the will to power; our natural desire to dominate and reshape the world to fit our own preferences and assert our personal strength to the fullest degree”…
— Friedrich Nietzsche
“
Fascism should more appropriately
be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”…
— Benito Mussolini
“In sum, for the last four years, the world has watched aghast as the United States lost its collective mind and became
a radical Jacobin revolutionary society”…
— Victor Davis Hanson

There is a commonly held view that the arrival of Modernism represented the liberation of Man.
A liberation from the transcendent including traditional moral values and religion (refer to Nietzsche)
.
A liberation from the Human Condition that was inherent within the Contingent Being of Man (refer to Artificial General Intelligence, Trans Humanism, Scientific Gnosticism (Scientism), Nietzschean Übermensch, Nietzschean Will to Power).
A liberation from the intolerable conditions and suffering of the Material Realm through attaining a Consciousness - a Gnosis (refer to Gnosticism including Modern Gnosticism, Trans Humanism, Geo-Bio-Genetic-Engineering, Cartesian Mechanical Machine World View, Heidegger’s Technology Enframing (Bestand - Standing Reserve), and Jacques Ellul’s Technology Society & System).
A liberation from an independent objective Reality (refer to the Theology of Marxism (i.e. a power-directed system of thought), Nietzsche’s Theory of Perspectivism, Saussurean Dyadic Semiotics, Jean Baudrillard’s Post-Modern Simulacra, Simulation and HyperReality
).
The material manifestation of this idea is ever-present in various Revolutions that have occurred across the World post the arrival of Modernity including inter alia the French, Russian, and Chinese variants. Idealism & Materialism - Dialectical Materialism, Praxis, Reflexivity, Historical Materialism and a perpetual OODA Loop of man-made change and transformation. A City of Man (Civitas Hominis) without a City of God (Civitate Dei). Man as God”…
