Zy interrupted Olaf and turned to Wendy and I. "Bring the children here," he pleaded with a passionate voice. "Let me show them the ruins of Quian. Afterwards, take the children to planet 'O' for a real education to let them learn what a civilization is. I would never presume to be able to instruct them, but the 'O' people might. They are a living proof of what can be accomplished, and you won't find even the slightest trace of oligarchism there, which is an education in itself. We had tried to help the people of Quian with our narrow-minded Earth mentality. The Quian people couldn't have done anything more stupid than asking us for help."
"We helped them all right," said Olaf in a sarcastic time of voice. "We gave them the best the oligarchy has developed on Earth to destroy the physical support structures of society. We gave them liberalism, we thought it was good. We didn't realize then that liberalism was created to destroy society. It's a cleverly created form of insanity that solved the problem of the oligarchy. Liberalism really started with the Venetian Empire. They needed ships. They needed scientific progress to create superior technologies, but they couldn't allow a general scientific development in society as this development would have overturned the empire's foundation, oligarchic power, the rule of the rich. So, they created an ideology of insanity, called Liberalism. Even now, people think that being Liberal is good, because you're open, you're democratic, but it really means that you have no principles! Liberalism is the name of the 'my idea,' 'my money,' 'my right to do as I please,' cult. That's what the Venetian oligarchy brought into England. They infiltrated the Netherlands and when William of Orange invaded England and made himself the ruler, England ceased to be a kingdom and became an oligarchy, a nation ruled by private power for private wealth in distinction to the general welfare principle. Liberalism, which denies the rule of principle or even the existence of principles, and enthrones the rule of private power became the foundation of the new empire that became eventually the British Empire, a private empire that was at first operated by the East India Trading Company. That is where the root of war lies, in the rule of empire in the quest of ever greater power to loot society across the world. Those who lobbied for the creation of the atomic bomb came from this background. They wanted a weapon so terrible that its terror would force all nations on Earth to surrender their sovereignty into the hands of a liberalist world empire. It would have worked, had Russia not intervened and countered the imperial terror. The atomic bomb was never meant to eradicate nations. It was meant to stage a rule of terror and maintain this terror while in the background the nations are looted into impotence and made irrational by the liberal rule of living without principles, resulting into incompetence, greed, hate, racism, and a shift away from scientific and economic progress into ever wider forms of criminality. That's what we brought to the people of the planet Quian and convinced them that it worked to prevent nuclear war since it had done so on the Earth."
"You should have brought to them the principles of the Golden Renaissance," said Natalia. "I don't blame you that you didn't understand their value since that was trashed ever since the Venetian set out to destroy the Golden Renaissance that nearly eradicated the Venetian Empire. That war to trash the value of humanist principles and science for their discovery is still going on. We were lucky in Russia to have glimpsed some of that value. It was the great revival of those principles in America that gave us a glimpse their value. When the Peace of Westphalia overturned the Thirty Years War by the revival of these principles the seeds of a New World in America were sown for a society that would be free from oligarchic rule. When America prospered thereby, those principles also inspired Russia. We were about to launch a New World too, but that was stopped when the British Empire invented Communism and handed it on a silver platter through the back door like a new Trojan Horse. If you had been wise, you would have brought the Renaissance Principles to Quian. The people of the planet 'O' seemed to have discovered these principles on their own. They developed a society that has nuclear bombs, and the knowledge to build as many as they wish, but has no use for them. The moment you open the door to humanist principles you close the door to war and all the weapons of war become obsolete. On that basis you could have saved the people of Quian."
