The Moses Complex - by John Ball

'And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked upon their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.'  

In these few brief lines lies the key to much of the history of the world since the French Revolution.
Who was Robespierre but a lawyer, a man set up by Pharoah, but who proclaimed himself as judge over the people?
Who was Ben Bella, but an 'assimilé', an Arab who spoke French and no Arabic?
Who was Agostinho Neto, Eduardo Mondlane, Nelson Mandela, Idi Amin, Sékou Touré?
They too were not quite of the people and set themselves over the people.
Or Chou En-Lai or Mao Tse-tung, a teacher by profession.
Or Lenin and Trotsky, neither of them part of the working class they wished to lord it over.
Or Hitler, the son of a government official who felt himself too special to be taking the orders.
Or the famous feminists, such as the Pankhursts, privileged women whose wounded vanity they equated with the suffering of their sisters.
Down to the modern day post Fascist Labour Party, moralists whose upbringing leads them to feel outside of the old establishment, but who damn the little people as 'bigots'
These are the managerial people, the bureaucrats, the hierarchs, resentful because they are kept out of the highest counsels of Pharoah. These are the Nobody People from Nowhere who set themselves above the ordinary people, whose rule is even more cruel than that of Pharoah.
These are the people who organize the Terror, who build the Concentration Camps, who do not flinch at killing Numbers, for whom Genocide is an afternoon's work, for whom the deaths of 500,000 children is 'a price worth paying', who bomb the countries of the world, blowing the limbs off and burying the Non-People.
These are the psychopaths of the hierarchy, and they are seen throughout the land, in every school, every government office, every branch of the hierarchy, extending their surveillance state, snatching children, disposing of old people, censoring, damning, closing down life itself.
