Like South Africa, America is destined to degenerate into a dominant-party state. — Ilana Mercer, “The Sequel to ‘Suicide of a Superpower'”, WND, 3 November 2011

Every once in a while a notion resurfaces in the blogosphere: in this case, national demographic “suicide”.

If all politics are tribal (i.e., ethnocentric), then the tribal composition of a nation should be decisive in determining which cultural, political, and religious paths that nation will follow.

Ilana Mercer, a South African by birth, credits paleocon Patrick Buchanan with sounding the tocsin warning of major shifts in the American culture:

In South Africa, the ratio of voters to taxpayers is now a stupefying 11 to 1, and growing. The equivalent ratio in the U.S. is still approximately 2 to 1. But the numbers of the unproductive are increasing steadily. As Mr. Buchanan notes, almost all the immigrants replacing the host population in the U.S. come from “Asia, Africa, and Latin America.” Given America’s preference for welfare-dependent, third-world immigrants, pillage politics will proliferate.

One could quibble with the term “America’s preference”. Said “preference” is expressed daily by the country’s ruling political class and shunned by the majority of citizens, who are perpetually victimized by these would-be oligarchs.

Mercer notes that Buchanan, in his book Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?, tells us:

Whites will become a minority in 2042 and will fall to 46 percent of the population by 2050, comprising only 38 percent of U.S. population under 18.

For Liberal Progressives, such forecasts are a cause for rejoicing. It’s condign punishment for years of slavery, and it can’t happen soon enough.

Mercer has also recently published a book (Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa) that should serve as a warning to America:

. . . the example of post-apartheid South Africa is used to deconstruct the effects of such a shift in a country’s majority/minority power structure.

Granted, the shift under way in the U.S. is incremental. But as is clear from the facts unfurled in ‘Suicide of a Superpower’, the transformation of America will be as detrimental as the almost-overnight shift orchestrated in South Africa.

In 1994, South Africa’s Europeans forfeited control over the state apparatus. They ceded mastery over their destiny and vested their existential survival in a political dispensation: a liberal democracy.

With the United States, the slow-motion disaster that is American “immigration policy” has taken decades to unfold, but with the economic downturn the oligarchy’s “open door” policy has begun showing signs of coming completely unhinged.

Neverthless, the elites continue to pursue the same “suicidal” immigration goals, to such an extent that:

Thirty years on, when the Rubicon is crossed, most Americans will be poorer, less educated and more welfare-dependent. One party will represent this majority. This party will serve as an instrument of perpetual oppression of the minority by a politically powerful majority.

Would you care to guess which party that will be? With only two choices, you have a fifty-fifty chance of being right.

“Suicide” isn’t the right term for what’s happening to America, however.

Since most sensible citizens strenuously object to these destructive policies, the better criminal term would have to be “murder”.
