The obvious problem with any form of government - ‘ism, ie; globalism, communism, socialism, fascism, capitalism, religion-ism, piss-ism and vinegar-ism, whatever, is.
They all make the assumption, that for some reason someone IS going to get up off their ass and do something, that maybe someone else IS going to get a piece of it for no effort (obviously problematic outcome here).
If everything, and I mean everything everyone could require, is not already there; no -ism works.
Most (large majority) of any -ism means; is that somebody IS going to do, and somebody IS going to leech. In biology it is supposedly a good thing called ‘commensalism’, and involves two species, however with humans I believe our species is able to behave parasitically-cannibalistic as well. Perhaps this is why our culture has a warped fascination with vampires and celebrities. Glorified mosquitoes, spreading disease. I digress.
Many in our society have engaged in sophistry over the years, and as in the times of Socrates, you will find the sophists generally in the following ‘halls’; that of Academia, that of Media/Politics/Government and obviously the halls of the ‘Elitist’, because those places are where the money, the fame/glory, and the power, is.
Consider it or not, (I do not concern myself with your belief structure) there are and I have met them, humans who believe themselves to be far above the rest, that we others are nothing more than meat-sacks; minor contrivances at best, pieces to be moved around upon a board. Oh and allow me to provide another tidbit of information; most of these individuals are in one or more ways, unstable; ie Insane McCain Johnny.
The human mind is a ‘true’ place of power, the most destructive place there is. To make this little revelation worse, these dumb-asses are competing with each other, jockeying for position as the masters of depravity and lunacy.
What is it, with the desire to be the biggest turd (elitist politician) on sh*t island (DC)?
To me there is only one kind of -ism worth anything and that is individualism. The most efficient and correct me I can be, self sufficient/least dependent is actually better for the rest of society and the world.
Thank you, good morning, going to get more coffee
