The Enemy of Democracy

Greetings good citizen, hope it is sunny and pleasant where you're at because it's been a sauna here in Boston for the past month. What does the weather in my home state have to do with the Enemy of Democracy? Nothing, not directly anyway. Since the weather does what it does when it wants to, I can't definitively say one way or the other whether or not the sauna effect is the result of 'global warming' because we have had some record setting winters recently too that have 'altered' the conversation from 'global warming' to 'global weather change.'

Worse, for all we know it COULD be 'natural'.

But we don't 'question' the natural here. If you don't like the weather there's always tomorrow...or next week, depending on where you are. Here in New England we are fond of saying 'if you don't like the weather, wait a minute!'

How sad is it that this means it goes from sucking one way, one minute to sucking altogether differently the next! While it is not uncommon for the temperature to drop sixty degrees in 24 hours, that 'yo-yo' works in both directions and usually not in a good way during a Northeaster! [tends to turn everything to ice, making it a beyotch to shovel.]

Being a lifelong resident I have become of the opinion that the weather in New England sucks. Summer is 'as good as it gets' around here but it's too short (and more than a little too humid) for my liking.

Well, I'm slouching bigtime, we start out with the Enemy of Democracy and you get three paragraphs of weather...boy, I know I digress (a lot) but this is too much!

So, what or who do YOU think is the 'Enemy of Democracy'?

Is it Communism? Nope, the commies have never made it past their second birthday anywhere so it's definitely NOT communism.

Well, we're baffled because that's all we have in our bag [besides the odd dictatorship or monarchy here or there. It is NO COINCIDENCE good citizen that every nation claiming 'communist' government is led by despots.

So if it isn't a what, is it a who? Wait a minute champ, we haven't exhausted our 'whats' yet.

Want to know what the 'Enemy of Democracy' is?

It's Capitalism!

Now the people running capitalism world wide [and it IS EVERYWHERE!, even communist countries practice 'capitalism', remember what I told you about communism not making it past its second birthday? True fact!]

But if capitalism isn't the enemy of communism, how can it be the enemy of Democracy?

Oligarchs EVERYWHERE love capitalism because of its 'catchphrase'. What is the 'catchphrase of capitalism'?

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

The catchphrase of capitalism is 'MORE FOR ME!'

That is why we live under a mockery of democracy where your 'participation' is limited to hustling down to a polling place once every four years and marking a ballot (that is discarded as soon as you exit the voting booth) because the whole exercise is intended to make you feel as though you did your part!

But you have ZERO input on the laws themselves and NEITHER DO THE BUFFOONS YOU PRETEND TO ELECT TO PUBLIC OFFICE!

If our elected officials did their job and 'regulated' capitalism, we'd all become communists overnight! Why? Because the people running things don't like being told what to do...and if we swallowed 230 years of pretend democracy, maybe we'll sit still for another couple of hundred under mock communism.

Either way, YOU won't be given a choice in the matter...and it hard to tell whether enough of you give a crap at this sorry stage of the game.

Didn't I just lay out the perfect 'lose-lose' proposition? No matter which one you choose, you lose!

So why not choose 'door number three'? [A Simple Plan!]

Just as Communism has ALWAYS descended into dictatorship, 'rules without rulers' has NEVER been tried! [Which isn't ENTIRELY true, Rules without rulers was practiced for THOUSANDS of years by the native population of North America, the 'chief' was simply a 'go-to' guy, a fixer that kept the wheels turning and saw to it the tribe did what it needed to do to survive.

But they were 'savages', right? Wrong! The real 'savages' sailed over here from Europe and destroyed the only people that had learned to live with one another more or less 'peacefully'.

Here I am, tearing off the reservation again!

STOP.

WHAT I am pointing to is the 'incompatibility' of 'electoral politics' with our 'more for me' (actually choiceless) economic operating system.

What am I saying?

It will NEVER come down to a 'choice' good citizen, you will NEVER be offered 'the option' of freedom to choose your children's destiny along with the freedom to build the kind of life you want to live.

YOU WILL ALWAYS be stuck with a system that makes you vote AGAINST YOURSELF so you can pretend to preserve what little you've managed to steal.

You will ALWAYS be TREATED LIKE AN ANIMAL, cast out as soon as your 'perceived usefulness' ends and replaced with a younger, more eager to please version of yourself...really bringing home WHAT A FOOL YOU'VE BEEN!

UNTIL you wake up and recognize 'more for me' capitalism isn't intended to make YOU the master of your own destiny, you will continue to get ass-raped 'so a few can be rich'.

Make no mistake about it, 'the lucky few' were born there! The 'self-mades' all bow and scrape when their masters beckon, money is truly meaningless at this end of the spectrum.

Now I can back it off a couple of clicks to remind you that the purpose of this blog is not to 'tell you what to think' but to provide you with 'something to think about!

Thank you for letting me inside your head,

Gegner

Phew, they warned me to be careful with the truth, it's a friggin' disaster area in here! Maybe they had a point when they said 'you can't handle the truth!'

Looks like somebody took a wrecking ball to this place...but the sad part is in an hour or so it will be like it never happened...pity really.

While there is no 'I' in team there is not change without 'u'...this time I ain't apologizing...you should be ashamed.!
