The quest to create New Soviet Man - to re-engineer the human race into something more compatible with collectivism - has never ended, or even paused.

Success may finally be close at hand, as the last vestiges of individualism and objective truth are under attack.

Western culture and politics have degenerated into endless warfare against every barrier that protects individuals from being subsumed into the hive of the centralized State. The key battleground is family: our tendency to bond in a way that makes us independent from the State.

Every piece of heavy artillery in the Left's inventory - culture, academia, politics - is right now trained on what remains of the family unit. The shelling is heavy and incessant. Every single aspect of the formula "boy meets girl and raises family" is under assault.

Look at the titanic amount of effort invested in programming young people to think there is something weird, abnormal, or oppressive about the traditional process of young men and women falling in love, marrying young, and having children. It took generations to denormalize this.

The dirty little secret of demographics is that healthy societies require large numbers of people to marry at fairly young ages, so they can raise more than two children, and staying together until the children come of age. There is no alternative to this.

You can't hit the ratio of births to adults needed to sustain a society unless a large number of families have three or more children, to fill in for all the people who have less than two. And that process is not socially, culturally healthy unless the parents stay together.

The odds of a couple raising three children and staying together until all achieve independence are dramatically higher if the couple marries young. The older they are before the first child is born, the worse the odds become, and the effect ripples through generations.

This is all simple math and biology, although much of religion and morality is built upon that logical framework. Mankind understood the importance of "being fruitful and multiplying" for a very long time - until now, when that understanding is under deliberate attack.

The engineers of New Soviet Man perfectly understood the importance of the family. They began attacking it decades ago with a precise and disciplined battle plan. They studied cultural health carefully, so they could brew up cultural sickness in their laboratories.

Everything they have done - denigrating the family unit, denormalizing heterosexuality, assaulting both masculinity and femininity, sexualizing young children, abortion as a religion, attacking the importance of traditional marriage - all were steps to evolving New Soviet Man.

No longer is society shaped by healthy young families with strong inter-generational ties that foster a spirit of independence and self-reliance. Everyone is a child of the State now, conditioned to see themselves as alone and vulnerable unless the collective nurtures them.

No longer do families that began at young ages accumulate wealth that can be passed easily to the next generation, on and on. Collectivists now have a reliable power base of atomized urbanites who own no capital and have little accumulated family wealth.

Once those atomized people grow up and enter what passes for the "adult world" these days, they find everything that would help them form bonds of friendship and trust that could lead to independence from the State is also under attack. We can barely TALK to each other any more.

There are no more relaxed conversations, no more good humor, no more fellowships, no melting pot. It's just endless grievances and angry demands, words redefined and stricken from our language every day, limitless paranoia and suspicion.

An entire generation has been raised to seek nothing more ardently than resolution of their grievances by appeals to authority. New Soviet Man is taught to see only bitter cold and howling winds outside the warmth of the collective, to seek only collective "justice." /end
