Jordan Peterson's Communist Turn

The whole world is falling for Voluntary Communitarianism

There’s a lot I could say about the Jordan Peterson and Richard Dawkins discussion on biblical reality, but I consider both of these figures to be unqualified to discuss it, so I’ll keep my remarks brief.

It’s an embarrassing conversation on both sides, as Dawkins is allowed to casually dismiss religion on the basis of evolutionary theory despite it having been debunked from many angles in just the last 10 years, and Peterson tries to sell the Bible as a testament to evolution itself. As a typical Jungian mystic pretending to be an expert on both religion and science (he spends a great deal of effort claiming to have researched “both literatures”), he goes as far as to imply that there is no difference between the collective unconscious of mankind and God. The Bible is allegory or mythology, he says, but it’s been concentrated and refined over time to become sufficiently potent to warrant the term “divine.” Same old Peterson, trying to create fellowship between light and darkness.¹

(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

But there’s a different aspect of the conversation I want to highlight today. You can see it in this clip, where Peterson soft sells communitarianism (timestamp 23:55):

Well, what’s the big problem with Communitarianism?

I have a chapter about it in my book Fire In The Rabbit Hole because I believe it’s the post-collapse system we’re being conditioned to embrace. As I suspected, the push for Communitarianism is only getting stronger, and the “alternative media” is being used to sell it like crazy right now.²

Peterson despises Communism and Marxism. Why? Because they subjugate the individual in favor of the collective. They rule by committee, destroy healthy incentives for self-organization, and dictate what is acceptable in the name of the greater good. Peterson correctly identified that individual freedom is paramount, because it means taking responsibility for your own life, and facing world’s problems one step at a time. “Clean your room,” he says. “Be a better man, take ownership, stand up straight,” and so on.

Communitarianism is the opposite of individualism. I mean that literally. In terms of ideologies, they are polar opposites, irreconcilable. Peterson has been tricked by somebody clever into thinking that Communitarianism is actually about individuals being willing to sacrifice their own needs for the greater good—but without any of that nasty “dictatorship” stuff that the Marxists bring. It’s about voluntarily serving the greater good by throwing away your own personal rights and freedoms in order to look out for your neighbor, you see?

“Get the injection so that your neighbors grandma doesn’t die! Are you selfish? Aren’t you willing to “sacrifice” yourself so that the vulnerable can be safe and happy?”

We’ve heard this argument before, you see. Peterson is extremely naive and has been highly manipulated by the Aquarian Conspiracy, or the Movement That Has No Name. They want as little resistance as possible for their destruction of individualism, and the subjection of the masses under a new religion of “self-sacrifice.”

We’re now seeing a push for “voluntaryism” and “anarchy,” which goes along the same lines. As I stated in my book, I think we’re going to see a post-collapse age of death worship being promoted as enlightenment. Killing yourself is going to be called heroic, and living in squalor and poverty is going to be good for the planet. In the case of Peterson, he’s already been fooled into thinking that individualism’s highest achievement is slavery. Now he wants to sell you on it, too.

1. This is literally what Carl Jung wants people to do with “shadow work” and “integrating your shadow” and so on. Creating fellowship between good and evil is one of Carl Jung’s most important contributions to modern society.

2. I suspect it’s being pushed right now because it’s in preparation for the Trump presidency, which will be all about collapsing modern society, with its Constitution, federal government, representatives, human rights, objectivity, and material prosperity. We are being softened up for a decline into a Neofeudalist nightmare dressed up as a wonderful time of simplicity, tradition, restraint, and modesty, etc.
