The Class with No Name
Martin Durkin’s latest video exposes the stealthy rise of a secret new ruling class in society.
The most powerful class in society has been anonymously invisible, unnamed, and unnoticed, and this is key to its success. If the ruling class is named, the masses would be able to discuss the common motivations and interests of its members. While it has no name, it can disguise itself as separate neutral parties working to help “society”.
“An entire social class that has steadily grown in size and power over the past century — whose very existence, whose jobs and income depend on depriving the rest of us of our money and freedom.”
That this cloak of invisibility, it turns out, is exactly the way the Soviet bureaucrats worked. We know this, because, as Martin Durkin explains, it was described in 1957 by a man called Milovan Djilash in his book called The New Class. His book was smuggled out of Yugoslavia and printed in the US. It earnt him 15 years in jail — obviously he was speaking a dangerous truth.
Djilash had become appalled by the socialist system he helped set up. He had come to realize it did not represent a victory of the working class, but of a new oppressive parasitic, bureaucratic class. And for this New Class, he said, it was vital that it must deny its own existence. This, he said, was the biggest deception it must accomplish.
” The source of power for this new class was public administration — its power to regulate and control everybody else. The new class, he said, finds itself unavoidably at war with everything which it does not administer or handle and must deliberately aspire to destroy or conquer it. “

The New Deal in the 1930s led to an explosion in alphabet agencies and regulators and planners. Understandably, the people inside the class are only human, and they like their jobs and their junkets. Thus they become “a bureaucratic solution in search of a problem to solve”, in order to grow their own power. Verily, the bureaucracy expands to fill as much of the economy as it possibly can (and then some).
The New Class is at war with the free individual:
The new class, by definition, is absolutely at war with laissez-faire free market capitalism.
For the new class, lower taxes and less regulation are a direct challenge to its livelihood.
The new class, though it does not say it outright, is implacably against the notion of private property.
It ought to be up to the state, the state run by them, to determine how much of our money, our earnings, and savings we will be allowed to keep.
And so for the new class, it’s axiomatic that capitalism is cruel, oppressive, inefficient, corrupt.
Martin Durkin points out that the State calls itself “democratic” to soften up the awful truth of the authoritarian power. “Instead of calling something “state control” it’s called “democratic control”. This mirrors what Mike Benz talks about with the US State Department and its “Whole of society censorship framework”. When we protest and complain about a state institution we are “attacking democracy itself” which justifies calling for censorship. It is as if democracy means the Institutions of a democratic country, rather than the power of the voters.
Part of the reason the New Class has stayed so well hidden is because the very academics and people who define the Classes of society are a part of the New Class, and there are no benefits to them in being exposed as a class that serves itself.
And of course, in an unholy alliance, the bureaucrats align with the corporate predators who are folded into the New Class too. The Big Pharma Giants work with the regulators they capture in a symbiotic parasitic relationship.
I shall continue to call this new class The Blob, for want of any better, more apt sounding name. But we must have a name, for we cannot fight a vaporous foe. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help tell the world about the new ruling class. Everything they want to hide, we must expose.
My draft definition:
BLOB (The) — The parasitic unholy alliance of Big Corporations, Big Government, Big Bankers and their entire fan club and cheer squad of supporters. Dangerously, this also includes the watchdogs: the Spy Agencies and large parts of the media. The Blob takes money from citizens, pays other parts of the Blob (eg USAID, The UN, The BIS, The World Bank etc), pretends to “help” some token victim group or environmental cause, or even to monitor or audit The Blob, but the outcome benefits The Blob more than the victims. They line their own pockets and increase their own privileges.
The Blob also includes a special category of “useful idiots” who naively assist them in looting Western Civilization. These people are paid in status or an illusory sense of purpose rather than money. They may not realize they are part of the self-serving Blob, and in the long run are not only harming the trees, birds and whales they say they want to save, but are harming their own health, wealth, national security, and worse, that of their children.

The pushback is coming. Any word that gives power to the individual will be subsumed, relabeled, distorted and misused by The Blob in an attempt to neutralize it. I’m sure I saw the ABC mention it recently…
