Community Building is Not Communism! Is A Fear of 'Communism' Trapping Us Into Corporate Enslavement?

Politics and government must surely be the most fertile ground for the growth of genuine conspiracy and crimes committed against large numbers of people. What we often don't see, though, is the way that these structures are used to deliberately psychologically manipulate in ways that are not so different to the way that con artists and even computer hackers do to us...

If I were someone seeking to dominate and control most other humans, I might use money as a tool to do that. If I have more money than everyone else, then I can stand a good chance of dominating them. If they actually don't have enough to live, then I really can dictate to them on a daily basis if I want (as long as they keep to the rules of society and keep using money in their daily lives). Therefore, it makes sense that I would do whatever was necessary to keep myself in that position and since I cannot physically control everyone, I would need to take action to have them control themselves and each other - I would need to somehow control their thinking and mental attitudes about themselves and life.

Politics, schools and the media networks are the main way in which such mental control is inserted into the mass consciousness - so we need to be very conscious of what we are told via these systems.

It is no secret that America and many other places have (and still do have to some extent) a tendency to become hysterically terrified of political movements that appear to oppose their capitalist ideology. Just look at Sasha Barron Cohen's recent show called 'Who is America', where he managed to get politicians to completely lose all reasoning simply because they thought they were going to learn how to protect themselves from radical Islamic terrorists (One even had to resign from government because of his insane actions on TV). This illogical response has also been seen in the past with communism, such as the witch hunt trials in the last century in Hollywood, for example.

In short, people have been conditioned to:

a) Be overly reactive.
b) Think in terms of judgements that put people in boxes and then don't define those boxes accurately.
c) Believe what they are told without doing due diligence analysis and research.
d) Not question 'authority'.

This is very similar to the way people are conditioned in authoritarian regimes, such as extreme communist ones - and yet those in the US often don't see the similarity and their own extreme imbalances. Honest, self awareness is needed.

Community Building

Following my recent posts about Monsanto, the massive chemical corporation, firstly being successfully sued for hundreds of millions of dollars for causing cancer through their products and, secondly, having been exposed as likely being behind massive destruction in Mexico (and beyond) - it was highlighted by @cryptopie that we need to come together to grow our own food.

Having participated in the compassionate anarchy group on facebook for years, I have seen repeatedly how people who claim to be 'pro human liberation' will sit and fight all day with others who claim the same and they are fighting over the capitalist/communist line. Often, I have seen/felt that whenever anyone suggests ideas that involve a unity between people in a community to work together for their shared benefit, many will jump to the knee-jerk position that such ideas are somehow 'communist'. This is obviously untrue, since working together is both an idea that predates both communism and organised capitalism - plus it is entirely possible to work together in a community with no form of hierarchy or any kind of communist manifest/intentions/agenda.

This got me thinking, though, about how much potential is being lost currently by humanity due to the obsession with competition in place of co-operation. Is it really too much of a stretch of the imagination to think that maybe the communist/capitalist battle lines have been deliberately engineered by those who intend to dominate the planet, just to ensure that:

a) The idea of community is ran through through the dirt, meaning that group movements struggle and it is simpler for dominators to dominate.

b) Fear of communism leads people to run to capitalism, wherein they are well within the engineered arena that the dominators most control by way of their ability to print limitless 'money' and through other related methods.

Unprocessed fear has a way of controlling us from our own shadows

---

As I have written about many times, our own shadow and unprocessed emotions affect our thinking constantly until we heal them. Even a fear from our early childhood can change our thoughts as adults. If we hold such fears about political ideologies, but perhaps have never really studied the details of what we have been told to fear, it is quite likely we might associated that fear with anything that even looks a bit like what we believe the ideology to be.

Since 'communism' sounds like 'community', can you see how the rejection of community in the modern 'western' world might be related to a rejection and fear of 'communism'? Even though the two are not the same at all?

In any case, without some form of community and communal food growing method, we will be doomed to continued exploitation by corrupt corporations and their government cronies who themselves have no intention for real, heart felt community. It's up to us all to make the called for changes here.

Wishing you well,
