Admirable mind-opening task!
By th...Hello Jacob, <br /><br />Admirable mind-opening task!<br /><br />By the way. Mainstream media, which is another strategic asset owned by the oligocracy, just using 2 basic tools: self-censorship & glamorization of the wealthy, can easily control the political behavior of the laboring majority, making millions of blue & white collar workers believe they are living in a 'democracy' and not in a system of pure neo-slavery. <br /><br />In a system of neo-slavery, instead of having one specific master, the slave has thousands or more masters at the same time. Thus, it does not matter what the neo-slave does for a living, he/she is always doing unconditionally what the masters-at-once dictate in exchange of a slave-support -called 'wage'- proportionally lesser than what the single master -in classical slavery- invested in feeding, clothing, housing, training, medicines, entertainment, ending care, burial, etc. <br /><br />Today's slaves (or neo-slaves) are allowed to quit and change jobs any time wanted, but the essence of slavery remains, it never changes: the laborer, in order to survive, serves the masters unconditionally for a meager investment or 'wage' (the benefit & advance of neo-slavery) barely enough to eat, dress, have roof for some months and transport himself/herself, but never enough to take care in full of his/her steady home, health, insurances, credits, education & training, sane entertainment, savings, retirement, funeral service, and so forth. <br /><br />In conclusion, being constantly bombarded by mainstream media with the false notion -or systematic dellusion- that they are living in the biggest democracy of the world* (and not in the biggest oligocracy ever known in history, where the 3 branches of the state power are nothing but 3 bodies of big foremen at the full service of the owners of the international monopolies & the 99% of the social wealth), *makes the citizens of any contemporary so called 'domocracy' behave historically like a new race of political 'castrati.'<br /><br />Keep up the mind-opening work, Jacob, there is so much to do. We need today many more like you everywhere, till the goal of humanist freedom is achieved on our beloved planet! <br /><br />FabioFabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115301124295542507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221405275974541103.post-78113964980384139182009-01-16T12:42:00.000-05:002009-01-16T12:42:00.000-05:00Inded.

In a democratic system you need fierce competition between different viewpoints, otherwise the politicians just create a political cartel so that they can remain in power indefinitely. However, a firecely competitive two-party system also has its drawbacks. In Great Britain, this has led to one regime always reversing what was done by the previous one, and accomplishing little else. This is otherwise known as the "do-nothing government". <BR/><BR><BR/>The ideal solution is to have a fiercely competitive multi-party system. Nothing else is fair to the voters, because they certainly don't agree on these things amongst each other, so why should politicians?Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563739841535780915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221405275974541103.post-18643971201533196552009-01-16T10:24:00.000-05:002009-01-16T10:24:00.000-05:00I like this article very much.

I have thoguht for a long time that we are slowing turning our democracy into something else. your point about citizens hurting from bipartisanship is especially true in a two party system. we are indeed seeing it right now with Obama's stimulus plan...he has moved toward the center and put in the tax breaks to appease the other party and this hurts the middle and lower classes the mostAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
