BRITISH IDEOLOGY. Between eugenics, Malthusianism and the New World Order
Of Gianluca Marletta
Anyone who has the fortune of reading The Brave New World, the hallucinated but "prophetic" dystopia of English Aldous Huxley, which already in the 1930s predicted a future Global Government where a humanity conceived "in a test tube" (the publication of the novel is of 1932!) e reduced to 200 millions of individuals, she is kept in “golden chains” and total obedience through drugs, sex and shows, he cannot help but suspect that the plot reflects not only the novelist's "fantasy" but also a trend, a state of mind, truly present among the "upper classes" of the Anglo-Saxon world (of which Aldous was one of the most brilliant offspring). Effectively, what we might define as “British ideology” has a long history: it is a mix of class supremacism, cult of eugenics and elitism, obsession with induced social control and fixed idea that humanity must be drastically reduced in number if not even "recreated" promisingly, which has been a true occult reference of many Anglo-Saxon policies of the last two centuries, becoming "reference ideology" after the Second World War no longer only in England or the United States but throughout the Western world and beyond.
An ideology that reveals, sometimes, para-messianic suggestions of global renewal and world domination but which has nevertheless managed to impose itself, on a pseudo-scientific level, with the hypotheses of Malthus and Darwin, becoming justification and pillar of modern ultra-capitalism and its vision of the world. As, for example, when assisting, nowadays, to operations such as the attempt to extend euthanasia to sick children or to the incessant propaganda against human "birth" seen as a danger for "mother Earth", we must always take into account what ideological roots lie behind such policies.
