We have to remain in the world of reality.

Ron Paul does not have a ghost of a chance of winning a nation-wide election in America.

Our task is to prepare for Post Collapse America. We have to spurn delusionary hopes of electing a libertarian and restoring the America of the laissez-faire 1920s.

For Ron Paul to win, he would have to secure a majority of the votes from an American electorate that is (more or less):

11% Black
6% Jewish
10% Latino
5% Asian
20% on Social Security
30% "working" for the government

5% academics or affiliated with "education."
20% incurably brain-dead Marxist zombie Whites who vote to please their newspaper editors and college sociology professors, not for what is in their or their children's best interest.

If a universal suffrage, significantly non-White, welfare recipient, propaganda-saturated American electorate can be persuaded to vote for a rugged individualism Libertarian like Ron Paul who promises to make them pull on the wagon instead of riding for free can win:

Then everything we believe and think will have been proven wrong!!

Truer words of democracy have never been spoken than those of the Austrian Kaiser Franz Josef:

"The problem with democracy is that it requires extraordinary things of ordinary people."

One cannot ponder this maxim too much. The more one thinks about it, the more insightful one realizes it is.

And the very obvious is that from what we know of the flawed state of human character, to expect people (except deluded Whites) to vote against their own vested interests is nonsense. A Paul victory would require a generosity and nobility from tens of millions of people. Generosity and nobility are restricted to a tiny percentage of humans in even the best national populations.

This does not mean that the Ron Paul candidacy is not useful to us.

It is.

And we should take part as best we can to make use of it. (I have a Ron Paul bumper sticker and yard sign.)

But the useful features of his candidacy do not include any possibility of his being elected and are restricted to the following:

1. Giving us access to more people who are self-screening for being potential recruits to our views;

2. Engendering greater cynicism and alienation among the very people we want to give up on the Establishment when his candidacy fails;

3. Potentially destabilizing and destroying the Republican Party by rallying a core minority of Republican voters who reject the jingoist all-for-Israel and universal-democracy-at-bayonet-point position of the Bush Administration, the neo-cons, Bill Buckley and National Review.

If Paul can pull off being the runner-up in the primaries and get enough delegates to be able to have his supporters speak at the GOP Convention and denounce the administration, this will almost certainly doom the Republicans to an even bigger ass-whipping than what they are going to get.

Maybe they will lose 50 house seats and 10 Senate seats instead of 20/5.

As Sam Francis said, "If America is to survive, the Republican Party must be destroyed."
