The other day, while out spreading the word in 
the streets, one of my friends handed some of our 
dissident literature to a passer-by with the 
explanation that we were countering the lies of the system.

Although the man in question turned out to be 
warmly sympathetic to our cause, this remark really stumped him.

The system? he asked, with an expression of 
utter bewilderment clouding his face. What system?

Emacs!

Although this may have merely been a case of 
unfamiliarity with a certain terminology, I like 
to think that his response revealed the greatest 
triumph of the odious entity that now controls 
nearly the whole world and is currently trying to 
impose its 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/the-great-reset/>Great 
Reset on us  it has managed to wrap itself in a cloak of invisibility!

This is not even a question of who exactly is 
behind all this (though there are some useful 
pointers 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/05/15/empire-of-hypocrisy/>here, 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/04/15/charles-empire-the-royal-reset-riddle/>here, 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/08/02/a-developing-evil-the-malignant-historical-force-behind-the-great-reset/>here 
and 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/10/14/a-crime-against-humanity-the-great-reset-of-1914-1918/>here): 
the root problem is that most people do not even 
realise that the system exists.

For them, we live in a pluralistic world. Within 
the framework of something known as democracy, 
they picture a complex interchange of competing 
forces and interests resolving themselves in a 
status quo which we are more or less obliged to go along with.

While this misunderstanding is perhaps forgivable 
for those whose information comes straight from 
the corporate mainstream, it is also shared by 
those who give the impression of knowing better.

I have spoken to self-defined anti-capitalists 
whose view of capitalism seems very similar to 
that of the ruling group they claim to oppose: 
they see it as an agglomeration of social and 
economic relationships without any overriding direction or control.

To suggest otherwise, in their eyes, is to commit 
the grave heresy of spreading conspiracy theory.

Their imagined reality of various independent 
capitalists struggling against one another in a 
dog-eat-dog world of rugged competition  and 
thus being incapable of ganging together to cheat 
and enslave the rest of us  seems to have 
survived intact since the mid-1800s, when Karl 
Marx was formulating his theories.

Anyone paying attention today cannot have failed 
to have noticed the way that multinational 
businesses and financial interests have converged 
to the point that their ownership can be traced 
back to a handful of concerns like BlackRock, 
Vanguard and State Street  which themselves 
appear to be part of the same overall operation.

This same corporate/financial über-entity has 
also become heavily entwined with  and indeed 
essentially inseparable from  state bodies and international institutions.

The resulting monster is a self-concealing global 
public-private governance pulling the strings 
behind all aspects of our contemporary world.

Once you have seen past the cloak of invisibility 
and understood that there is such a thing as the 
system, everything else begins to make sense.

For instance, I have long despaired over the 
absence of an authentic philosophy or movement of 
resistance. All the existing off-the-peg options 
fall well short of what we need and even lead 
people in completely the wrong direction.

Why is this? Is it entirely due to the failings 
of the systems opponents? Is it because the 
arguments of those defending the system are so 
strong and appealing that it is not possible to express coherent disagreement?

Or is it rather that, as part of its 
self-advancement, the system has deliberately set 
out to ensure that there is no credible criticism of its Great Racket?

It would have to, wouldnt it, if it wanted to remain invisible?

Its big lie  or 
<https://www.weforum.org/press/2022/01/klaus-schwab-releases-the-great-narrative-as-sequel-to-the-great-reset/>Great 
Narrative if you prefer  has always been that 
the vile world it has manufactured is inevitable, 
part of the necessary evolution of human history.

It projects the assumption that this progress 
towards modernity is somehow tied in with the 
passage of time itself. Two thousand and 
twenty-two years after the birth of Jesus Christ, 
it was always going to be the case that humankind 
lived in a world of airports, chemical factories, 
server farms and nuclear power stations.

This is just the way things are. It just happened 
like that. There is nothing anyone can do about 
it. You cant turn the clock back.

This story is, of course, not true! There are 
lots of ways in which the present could have 
shaped up. There was nothing inevitable about the 
industrial revolution, for a start, as mentioned 
in 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/11/15/when-another-england-seemed-possible/>this 
article.

But it is crucial for the system that we believe 
this fairy tale of spontaneously self-creating 
modernity. Because, if we dont, it means that we 
realise that somebody created it with a specific 
purpose in mind, namely profit and control.
<https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F674e59a1-33b2-4177-ad3e-ecc68086f922_1558x783.png>
[]

And, at that point, the system ceases to be 
invisible, ceases to appear random, and reveals 
itself to be a 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/08/08/facing-up-to-the-crime-in-progress/>deliberate 
act of theft and enslavement  for which specific 
groups of people are historically responsible.

In order to defend itself from peoples awareness 
of what it has done and is still doing, with all 
the outrage and rejection that this would rightly 
spark, the system therefore has to destroy any 
opposition that calls attention to the fact that 
its world is not inevitable and which insists 
that a completely different way of living is both possible and desirable.

One of its favourite tricks, over the centuries, 
has been to infiltrate and take over a resistance 
movement, use it for its own ends, wipe out the 
genuinely radical elements and then use the 
excesses and crimes committed by its own 
fake-revolutionary placemen to discredit the 
whole idea of revolt against its slave-system.

See! Look what happens when you rebel against our world! it tells us later.

Thereafter, any dissident voices that seem to be 
connected to the fake-revolutionaries deployed by 
the system are automatically discredited and 
their ideas consigned to the dustbin of history.

The system is thereby able to maintain the 
illusion that there is no credible alternative to its noxious empire of greed.

I was reminded of this method of manipulation 
while reading the article placed immediately 
after my

in the latest issue of the French journal

Here, Jean-Christophe Angaut and Anatole Lucet 
look at the early 20th century Wandervogel phenomenon in Germany. [1]

This back-to-nature youth movement is now 
generally associated in the public mind with the 
Nazis and their Hitler Youth. Indeed, the authors 
remark that the main website dedicated to the 
Wandervogel in France today is run by the extreme right.

But its origins were very different. It was, in 
fact, a reaction against the rapid wave of 
industrialisation imposed on Germany, which 
attracted tens of thousands of youngsters into its ranks.

Operating at a deeper level than that which we 
usually identify as political, it started out 
as simply a desire to escape from the 
increasingly artificial and restricted life of 
the cities in order to breathe the fresh air of the natural world.

According to Walter Lacqeur it was a form of 
opposition to a civilization which had little to 
offer to the younger generations, a protest 
against a lack of vitality, warmth, feeling and ideals. [2]

It was no less than a heart-felt and instinctive 
rejection by young human beings of the grim 
modern prison of regimentation-for-exploitation 
that was being built around them.

Angaut and Lucet write that until the First World 
War the Wandervogel movement (the name literally 
refers to the migration of birds) was romantic and anarchic. [3]
<https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb99c5217-2150-4315-a4a8-e7cad7b97486_354x529.png>

Intuitively, this new generation of Europeans 
channelled the aesthetics of earlier centuries, 
of a time when society was hardly perfect, but still organic in nature.

The name of their movement evoked both German 
romantic poetry and the wandering groups of the 
Middle Ages who passed from town to town, from 
country to country, perfecting their trade and their knowledge of the world.

The 20th century youngsters even initially 
dressed in the style of medieval itinerant 
scholars, with their soft hats, staffs and old-fashioned breeches.

One observer, Gerd Knoche, remarked at the time: 
Wandering is to swap the slavery of human 
society for nature, the noise and dirt of the 
city for the silence and pure air of the fields, 
work for contemplation, job and family for new 
experiences, routine for the unknown, narrow 
limits for vast horizons. Alongside all that 
there is the benefit of physical exercise and a 
direct connection with Mother Earth. [4]

A declaration made by the movement in 1913 also 
gives a good idea of the spirit behind it: The 
free German youth wants to shape its life 
according to its own law, under its own 
responsibility, in conformity with its deepest 
truth. In all circumstances, it will be united in 
the defence of this innner freedom. [5]

While the involvement in the Wandervogel of 
left-wing Jewish intellectual 
<https://orgrad.wordpress.com/a-z-of-thinkers/walter-benjamin/>Walter 
Benjamin confirms that the Wandervogels origins 
were a long way from being Nazi, even during the 
Hitler regime many adherents remained true to the original libertarian ethos.

They objected to the nationalist and militarist 
corruption of much of the movement and, of 
course, to its absorption by the fascist state.

The article explains that Hans and Sophie Scholl 
of the White Rose underground resistance network 
remained members of a banned youth organisation 
right up until the denunciation which led them to 
them being executed on February 22 1943. [6]

Their sister Inge Scholl provided a fascinating 
insight into the outlook of these secret groups 
of youngsters who kept the original Wandervogel 
spirit alive in the dark years of Hitlerism.

They lived wild and free, she wrote, tasting 
existence as a superb adventure, an expedition 
into the allure of the unknown. They leapt into 
icy rivers at dawn, spent hours lying flat on the 
ground watching wild animals and birds, sang 
songs together around the camp fire in the 
evenings, to the accompaniment of guitars, banjos or balalaikas.
<https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4a40c257-cb19-4a9c-a6a7-4ae99df80bf7_845x550.png>

Suddenly there was a wave of arrests all across 
Germany. This authentic survival of a great youth 
movement, born at the start of the century and 
carrying within it such great hope, was destroyed. [7]

This important cultural uprising against the 
system was in fact crushed in two stages. The 
first came with the Great War, an 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/10/14/a-crime-against-humanity-the-great-reset-of-1914-1918/>earlier 
Great Reset which the system deliberately used to 
push us further into industrial slavery.

Not only were many of that generation wiped out 
in the trenches, but the post-war Germany to 
which the rest returned was a New Normal version.

The second stage came with the Nazi regime, which 
represented a further acceleration of the 
systems authoritarian-industrial 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/08/02/a-developing-evil-the-malignant-historical-force-behind-the-great-reset/>development 
agenda funded by the same financiers who arranged 
and profited from the First World War, as Antony C. Sutton has shown. [8]

The system cannot stand us feeling free, it 
cannot stand us feeling part of nature, it cannot 
stand us having thoughts, yearnings and dreams 
that might lead us out of its inclusive 
industrial work camps and smart cities towards 
a future in which we are free from its sinister life-hating power.

Time and time again it twists and crushes the 
resistance that arises naturally in each new generation.

In the last couple of decades alone we have seen 
anti-globalists turned into 
alternative-globalists, anarchists turned into 
rabid defenders of 
<https://winteroak.org.uk/the-great-reset/>Great 
Reset totalitarianism, environmentalists turned 
into marketing agents for the fake-green 
renewable technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

We will never stop falling into these traps so 
long as we do not see clearly what the system is and what it does.

And we are not going to manage to do that if we 
keep pretending that it doesnt even exist!
