Massive Ideological/Political Failures

Plain to see, most of the great political 'isms’ of the 20th century have FAILED completely.

The binary opposing twins of communism/socialism-capitalism/democracy failed almost simultaneously though the latter was not given the press it deserved by the western, capitalist-run media; the unpleasant political reality that prevails today in most of the developed world is plutocratic totalitarianism -- which applies to the elites of China and Russia as much as it does to modern western totalitarian plutocracies.

Social democracies do not indefinitely detain people and strip citizens of their inalienable right to face and challenge their accusers or to defend their position according to long-established laws and civilised social conventions; nor do they extra-judicially murder people whose names appear on secret lists. Social democracies certainly do not engage in pan (global) surveillance of their ENTIRE populations -- these behaviours are clearly characteristic of totalitarianism.

Cast your critical gaze back only a few decades to the 60‘s (in the west) before corporatists and bankers gained control of western governments and it almost seems like another planet. The media was largely independent and regulated by good government policy to avoid concentrations of ownership -- today the western world’s media is owned by a handful of media magnates that have a uniform agenda and tailor the 'news’ accordingly. Journalists were once the real guard dogs of democracy, not the lap dogs of the plutocracy, as they are today. People were free to express themselves without fear of torture or disappearance -- but not so today.

Recently an entire U.S. capital city (Boston) was locked down not because of a search for a single, severely wounded teenage gunman (an absurd excuse) but to soften the population to WARRANTLESS para-military police INTRUSIONS. Indeed, American citizens were once proud examples of democratic life; today, however, they lead the world in docile servitude, compliance and slavery to moneyed criminal elites.

It should never be forgotten that elite minority political rule and governance finds its powerbase in the mass mind and the compliance of the population. Had America rejected ‘indefinite detention’ for example, it would never have been legislated; furthermore, the nefarious group that attempted to implement such a regressive policy would have earned the scorn and reprisals of a free people; however, as was painfully evident no enduring protests of significance occurred to resist the evil that has slowly taken control of the western -- if not entire developed -- world.

It is pointless referring to how minority elites acquired control, ah! NO, it isn’t, so I will inform you once; they SIMPLY worked together (CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group) and co-operated to achieve mutually beneficial goals -- SOMETHING THE PEOPLE ONCE DID!

Solidarity and mutual aid form the backbone of all social power and by way of self-evident example, the few hundred that comprise the elite that rule the world today are specialists in mutual aid and co-operation -- ironically, the fundamental principles first espoused by early anarchist writers!

Today a small but powerful elite rule the world and are in the process of increasing their influence, wealth and power until they achieve their desired final ambition; to gain control of the entire world -- I kid you not!

They have succeeded thus far simply because they are united in their efforts and actively work together to REALISE their plans, which include never allowing the population to think they could ever unite or make a difference.

But this paper is about failed ideologies, isn’t it? Have I not obliquely demonstrated why systems fail and how systems/groups succeed?

Unity, mutual assistance and co-operation are the keys to all social movements and social change -- look at the world today and bear witness to the unpleasant FACT of cooperative elite rule!

Then you, dear reader, may decide it’s time to assert your inalienable rights and RESTORE freedom and liberty to your nation ONCE AGAIN -- yes, it’s all been done before, but this time you are all the potential activating force.

I thank all those that continue to subscribe to the FAILED ideologies of the past, particularly socialism and capitalism, for inspiring this piece.
