Amitai Etzioni is sociologist and prolific author. His work has been embraced by political and business leaders around the globe, and his communitarian creed guides much of our public debate today — albeit that it is rarely spoken of openly.

As the label suggests, communitarianism is a belief in the power and importance of community. But it’s not a belief in natural community, that which forms spontaneously from our everyday interactions. When Thatcher famously remarked that there is no such thing as society, she wasn’t saying that society didn’t exist, but that it isn’t the fundamental building block: individual human beings are. These individuals then naturally come together to form changing communities; of course, that too is the position of libertarians everywhere.

A lot of what I read written by Etzioni’s ghostwriters never made sense to me, not until I finally digested Hegel’s dialectical definition of freedom. ACL research is filled with hundreds of sickening revelations. For a thinking, feeling person, many of the facts about globalism take a bit of time to digest. I don’t know that we ever fully recover from learning how elite globalists plan to eliminate individual liberty from the entire human experience. Their advanced global government (global citizen) plans make Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and Bush look like novice opening acts. Totalitarian Communitarianism is the grand finale before the curtain falls. Once communitarians have the enforcement power to require our complete national subordination (called supra-national integration) and individual submission (called global human rights) to ALL their laws, humanity will cease to exist as we know it.
