Progressivism In Brave New World

Progressivism arose in the US, in the early part of the 20th century. Starting as a social movement, later evolving into the political, it became a legitimate response to the economic and social conditions and the solving of problems during the industrialisation period. Today, ' Progress, forward' and 'change' are all progressive keywords, instances of promoting social chaos, which only a government can solve. Taking on a more sinister tone, progressivism seeks to provide perfection by scientific means. Hitler got many of his ideas on eugenics and race from the early 20th century US progressives.
There are two forms of totalitarianism, George Orwell’s '1984' (1949) Jackboot approach, or Aldous Huxley’s progressive 'Brave New World Revisited'
(1958), using bureaucratic and technocratic control.
If you want a picture the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever. An Introduction to 1984.
The nearly perfect control exercised by the government is achieved by systematic reinforcement of desirable be­havior, [sic] by many kinds of nearly non-violent manipula­tion [sic], both physical and psychological, and by genetic standardization. Preface to Huxley’s, Brave New World Revisited.
Orwell’s position reflects the approach of 20th century totalitarianism, with its mass graves and force.
Huxley favours what is now occurring in the 21st. Cultural Marxism using Freud’s pansexualism, historical revisionism, mass State welfare dependency, and drug use amongst others, in an all too familiar pattern. Dictatorships use force, cultural Marxism uses propaganda. The European Union, disguised as Euro communism, is an example, with its command economy, five-year plans, and centralised bureaucracy.
In 1984 v. Brave New World, Huxley states. Within the next generation I believe the world rulers will discover infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.
The philosophy behind the EU is a strange mixture of Capitalism and Communism - a form of Euro Marxism which owes much of its dogma to the Pre-World War II Italian Marxist Philosopher, Antonio Gramsci. The nearest ideology to that practiced by the EU is something called Communitarianism, or what Tony Blair [Former UK Prime Minister] 1997 - 2007] called the 'Third
Way'.
As Orwell drew on the immediate experiences of post war Europe, so Huxley’s predictions closely, resemble cultural Marxism. The caste system of collectivised social justice minority groups, politically correct media propaganda to replace free will, the legalising drugs to block out daily horrors, in a utopia where totalitarianism arrives packaged as freedom and free speech becomes Orwell’s newspeak, disguised as cultural correctness. As the previous generation die out, has cultural Marxism simply perpetuated the gullible fools of today to foist onto the coming generation tomorrow?

The most puzzling development in politics during the last decade is the apparent determination of Western European leaders to re-create the Soviet Union in Western Europe (Fig 23). Mikhail Gorbachev, General Secretary CPSU 1985 – 1991, and former leader of the USSR 1990 – 1991.
