There seems to be something about the medical profession that makes it draws more than its fair share of power-trippers. Even The Lancet is awake to the problem. Just as the engineering profession turns out more jihadis than any other, medicine is disproportionately associated with dictatorial bullies. Beyond the spectacularly noticeable roster of actual dictators and literal Nazis, the medical profession these days is too often the stomping-ground of bureaucratic empire-builders and tinpot megalomaniacs. The sort of people who don’t just want to force you to give up smoking, but everything else they disapprove of, from booze to cake.
But these white-coated dictators don’t just want to boss we hoi polloi around: woe betide any of their own who dare defy the ruling elite. Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson practised his profession without a whisper of complaint for two decades. As soon as he openly defied the state bullies, though, he was hauled before the inquisition.
Peterson has the tenacity, but more importantly the public profile and the wealth, to challenge the Ontario College of Psychologists. Many other professionals, much less lay-people, do not.
And that’s the real point: it’s not about silencing Peterson at all. It’s about scaring the rest into shutting up, for fear of them.
If this all sounds somewhat Stalinist in nature, that’s because it is. The Oxford psychiatrist Sidney Bloch’s classic 1977 academic paper “Psychiatry as Ideology in the USSR” demonstrated how psychiatry in Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union actually worked – in an eerily similar way to how it now also works in Justin Trudeau’s Canada. Firstly, whilst only a minority of psychiatrists were full-blown Communist Party members, almost all those in positions of actual authority were, reflecting Stalin’s key principle that loyalty to leftist party ideology was more important than actual professional ability when it came to handing out the top jobs; the Ontario College of Psychologists might agree.
A full 25 per cent of Soviet medical students’ curriculum was devoted to studying not actual medicine, but unrelated Marxist-Leninist dogma – more than studying actual surgery.
Plus ça change: now, students are forced to rote-learn, not medicine, but modern excrescences of neo-Marxist gibberish, such as Critical Race Theory, anti-colonialism, intersectionality, climate dogma and gender theory.
Western medicine as a whole is now being subverted politically as shown by dissenting doctor Stanley Goldfarb in his 2022 book Take Two Aspirins and Call Me by My Pronouns, which charts the rise of far-left medical pressure groups with names like White Coats for Black Lives, founded in honor of that well-known amateur pharmacologist George Floyd in order to dismantle white capitalism and cis heteropatriarchy instead of treating their patients properly.
Ideologically infected bodies like the American Medical Association (AMA) now aim to dismantle the “myth of meritocracy and other malignant narratives” by weakening admission criteria to medical school, just so long as the potential student shows compensatory aptitude in other areas than academic potential instead – areas such as being black or left-wing.
Thought-crime will not be tolerated, either.
A 2022 study found that three-quarters of America’s top 50 medical schools explicitly ask applicants’ views about diversity, inclusion, equality and anti-racism prior to admission. As institutions now quiz candidates for such vital info as their “thoughts on opposing specifically systemic racism, anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination and misogyny”.

Which is little different to German universities demanding Führer oaths and proof of Aryan ancestry from prospective students and faculty. Not that they really needed to bother: the medical profession was the most overwhelmingly, enthusiastically, pro-Nazi of any profession.
But the perversion of the medical profession reached its lowest depths under communism. Not only were professions like psychology subsumed by Marxist dogma, they were weaponised against potential dissidents.
Where they didn’t simply shoot them on sight or pack them off to the gulag, dissidents were often subjected to bogus psychiatric orders. Dutifully communist doctors committed dissidents to mental homes with diagnoses of entirely fictional disorders. Whereupon they were either drugged and brainwashed into compliance, or Kafka-trapped into admitting that they really were insane, as the only way out.
Our ruling elite already condemn dissenters as “deplorables” and “anti-science” – how long before they start subjecting us to psychological detention?
