RE: It was never about capitalism vs communism - it was always about centralized vs decentralized
The Elite don't care about types of political systems, types of economy, etc etc - they only care about control and they will use whatever means is best at any given case. As long as they control the political establishment in a country, everything else is irrelevant.
People tend to argue about politicoeconomic systems, this is better, no that is better, yet these are just tools to achieve certain goals at the hand of the Elite. The Elite uses these systems as tools and nothing more.
People must first take the power back (which in some cases they don't even understand that they've lost it) and then argue about the ideal political/economical systems.
There is nothing to take back.
All power is given.
If you wish to take it back, what you really mean is that you should stop giving it away. There is an important difference.
Eloquently put. It requires a shift of attitude as well - even my phrasing betrays that.
