Echoing Ellis, he laid down the premise that homosexuality and carnal depravities are not a matter of abnormality, but merely a case of personal preference. This, plus his declaration of atheism, overjoyed the socialist Keynesian crowd. John Maynard Keynes audaciously proclaimed, Sex Questions are about to enter the political arena. He inveighed against the treatment of sexual offense and abnormalities, adding the charge that the existing state of the Law and of orthodoxy is still Mediaeval - altogether out of touch with civilized opinion and civilized practice and with what individuals, educated and uneducated alike, say to one another in private. He laid down the line which has been pursued by Leftists to the present day in demanding that distribution of narcotics be unrestricted.
Homosexuals find drugs a useful adjunct in loosening moral inhibitions to perversion.
And this ravisher of little boys feigned sympathy for the masses by urging universal rights for users of narcotics. Keynes and his conspirators projected homosexuality and drug addiction as an intrinsic part of their collectivist society of the future. His male sweetheart, Lytton Strachey, wrote privately that they would corrupt the whole population, subtly, through literature, into the bloodstream of the people, and in such a way that they accepted it all naturally, if need be without at first realizing what it was to which they were agreeing. He boasted that he intended to seduce his readers to tolerance through laughter and sheer entertainment. He pointed out that the object was to write in a way that would contribute to an eventual change in our ethical and sexual mores - a change that couldn t be done in a minute, but would unobtrusively permeate the more flexible minds of young people.
