When the “-ism” Becomes God

by

What if the greatest danger to society is not socialism, capitalism, communism, or any other economic system—but the belief that economics itself can save us? Throughout history, nations have repeatedly elevated markets, production, growth, and consumption to near-sacred status. The result is often the same: human beings become numbers, workers, consumers, taxpayers, or demographic categories rather than individuals with inherent dignity.

From the Balkans to Ukraine, the promises of “not one inch further” slowly became a geopolitical punchline written in bureaucratic doublespeak and missile deployments. Meanwhile, Europe outsourced its defense, America paid the bill, and the alliance drifted from deterrence into an ideological security machine increasingly disconnected from reality. The question now is no longer whether NATO once served a purpose. The question is whether it still protects peace — or whether it has become a Cold War institution sleepwalking the West toward a conflict nobody truly wants to fight.

Citizens learned to repeat obvious nonsense simply to survive. Newspapers reported record harvests while shelves sat empty. The state called itself a workers’ paradise while millions disappeared into camps. As the Bible warns in The Bible, Satan is ‘the father of lies,’ and every authoritarian system follows the same blueprint: suppress truth, punish dissent, and force the population to publicly kneel before fiction. The gulag was not the beginning of the process. It was the final invoice.”
