The State Run Corportacracy

in #corporate6 years ago

We've grown up with having the American pledge of allegiance rammed down our throats, in fact one could be threatened with detention if one disobeyed a teacher of a politically neo-conservative bent. While I'm not totally against public education like some of the Libertarians further on the right, I feel that, along with ending the fed (which isn't necessarily a left leaning or right leaning idea) and breaking the US apart may actually be one of the ways we can save this planet, and help it become more green, I feel that education should focus on unschooling rather than obedience. Others have mentioned it before, but public education focuses mainly on memorizes "facts", which more often than not are written by the northern oppressor, and not be people who have actually lived in the South. With this in mind, I shall begin this thesis on what makes me different from Ron Paul Libertarians.

A lot of Libertarian talking heads that follow Ron Paul, focuses on ending the federal government. But then go on to talk about the importance of not regulating businesses. Such as, well Public Education. And it could be argued that even Private Schools, if ran by someone who lives in Washington State, among other yankee countries, would still brow beat people about the Great Emancipator. This comes despite the fact that Abe Lincoln was the originator of what we now call the Military Industrial Complex, who now is most known for things like the failed Vietnam War and the Iraq Invasion. Although there are far more sinister things that the US government has done long before Donald Trump took office, include various forms of human experimentation in secret underground facilities. This includes not only poisoning the water supply, but also using mind control substances on subjects in order to train them to become Manchurian candidates.

I mention this, because people have mentioned Donald J Trump as being one of these by the US government when it comes to Russia. I also mention this not to glorify Donald Trump, but to indicate that the problem goes far deeper than Donald Trump. If the South had won the "Civil War", it's very likely that the military industrial complex we've come to know, would be entirely localized to the small district between Virginia and Maryland. Or, by comparison, something similar to Europe during World War II. Other Southern folk are prone to saying that the civil war was not a civil war, but regardless of semantics, its effect was in fact similar to the British Civil War led by Oliver Crumwell, it that it primed the US against some of the revolutions that swept Europe during the nineteenth centuries. Would you really want to live in a centralized economy like this, even if we never experience war on our own soil again? But the American have been primed to except their control except among the very few that resist the establishment. And yet Ron Paul Libertarians seem to be of this idea that a Business cannot become a de facto government after the fall of the US.

We only need to cite the East India Trading Co. to see what the potential ramifications are to total corporate control. And yet most people would not label the United States a Fascist country, whom has policies that in practice, make it little better than Soviet Union Lite. Lets remember that Stalin killed more men than Hitler ever did, but this often gets white washed because we had allied with them during the second world war. But with the way that we invade other countries, we're becoming essentially no different: just with more consumerism. In some ways Russia and the US are complete clones, which would suggest less of a black and white morality conflict, and more of a long term rivalry for who controls most of the planet. We live in a world fought amongst monsters.
