I have been reading history lately. I am a huge fan of reading old history books because the I am more accustomed to the way of framing back in the pre-WW2 academic era. It's refreshing to constantly see different "isms" and "classes" as opposed to modern PC books that tend to avoid these terms.

One of my favourite books is Caroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope. I like it even though Quigley is a major leftist. Despite being an ardent pro-capitalist, he, along with John Kenneth Galbraith, are two left wing intellectuals that I deeply admire because they have genuinely made me left-wing at different points in my life. As a teenager I read both men and I have come back to them to see if I can pick up on anything new, and it may just have that effect on me.

Quigley wrote about how within the Gilded Age, the fundamental principles of free market capitalism and competitive equilibrium began to break down. Men of high social standing formed fraternities and clubs where they conspired to take control of the productive capital of the United States and Canada. Interlocking directorships formed among the largest companies, creating cartels, these cartels worked hand-in-hand with the banking system, also controlled by other members belonging to the same fraternities and gentlemen's clubs. They worked together to squeeze competition, deny capital to new entrants, and corner the market to create effective monopoly. They took advantage of bankruptcy law to intentionally bankrupt companies that they held small ownership over, by intentionally spilling its assets into enterprises where they had a lot of control. For example, the men would use their influence over smaller regional banks to make MASSIVE loans to railroad companies, the railroad companies would use it to build lots of tracks and sell them off to their main company for dirt cheap, then the railroad company would declare bankruptcy and the bank would go under, but the men would walk away rich with their main company, now with a new rail track. Prices rose faster than wages as monopolists siphoned profits from the working people, it was these conditions that led to the Great Depression, mitigating the self correcting mechanisms of traditional markets, and fostering the need for FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT to put a stop to the madness. Through the embrace of Keynesian economics, regulations on monopolies and financial capitalists, and widespread social programs, Roosevelt restored power to the worker, brought back productivity, and gave a high quality of life to the common man.

This reminds me EXACTLY of what Hypergamy is like with toilets. Toilets form cliques, they work together to bully and discriminate low status men, and deny them capital (pussy). They use their exploitative power as the owners of the means of reproduction to deny Incels what they need. What is needed is a FDR of Inceldom. A man who is not afraid to use executive power for the good of the world and save Incels. Perhaps this is what is meant by "Marxist-Rodgerism", a renewal of FDRs mantra but for the Incels.
 
nobody cares and nor should u.
you'll always live under a jewish system.
 
you already live under the jews so you should have been happy with them being in charge, right?
Jews aren't a monolith, I want to live under Jews that share my ideology like Milton Friedman and Ludvig Von Mises.
