Ever since the civil war, the right, embodied in either political…

There are some people in the world who don't want change, they don't want to know how to turn off the massive amounts of bullshit produced in our culture, or in any other culture. I can understand that. But life is about a lot more things than when someone is overwhelmed by white noise and can no longer reach out for I Love Lucy, Ed Sullivan, and Lawrence Welk, like my parents did, the solution isn't to try and make everybody like you, or be like you, the only person in the world in your church with common sense.

There are only a couple of good and evils that embody civil discourse throughout modern civilizations. One, the individual vs the social order and, two, slavery/genocide.

The individual vs social order relates to nearly all our humanly representations of civil, social and criminal law. as defined by the standards of our tribe, community, political system. How we get to those standards is differentiated by what our beliefs are about how the world works. There has to be some sort of consensus or collaboration or cooperation to agree to disagree so we can get what work needs to be accomplished, done. 

Slavery/genocide, on the other hand, relates to a higher human standard for itself. Who is a part of the community, nation etc becomes an ethical question. How will people with different beliefs, religions, cultures fit into the generally accepted standard already institutionalized or agreed upon. 

The effects of racism, ethnic cleansing, levels of authoritarianism. The imbalance created by these two juggling concepts connects everyone to everything that happens within a society. Principles of equity, justice, and even charity are taught in the educational institutions and perhaps, religion, but, realistically, are not realized on the street where the mix of races, cultures, and beliefs nullify nearly all the hate coming from isolated, either by location or by lack of knowledge, and fearful people. 

People everywhere always tend toward cooperation, collaboration, rather than divisiveness.

Morality and how judgements are realized are determined more by lessons in the family, churches, and authoritarian institutions. When the unattainable lofty principles taught in a free and open forum of an educational model become undermined or understated by the precepts of morality preached by the above-mentioned authorities of government sanctioned religion or cultural demands, fascism prevails. Fascism, a word being thrown around willy nilly these days is losing its impact upon the analysis of political thought. Fascism, which simply defined, is an attempt to destroy traditional, entrenched, institutionalized, cultural, political, and economic statutes in order to destabilize processes of "democracy" which have developed out of a nations historical experience. What we don't talk about is what happens once those institutions are weakened or eradicated, those values are no longer relevant?

Theres no doubt that in the minds who create analysis and discussion, America has quickly moved from a sort of political stagnancy to a very real one-person rule. Call it dictator, monarchial, or CEO of the world. Oligarchy, another word no one can relate to.

This is different than some third world dictator or even the fascist movements of the 1930's and 40's. Why? Because this dictator, this one-person cult personality leader is wealthy. This dictatorship is managing the "business" side of America, hire and fire 'em, if they don't comply.  This business model of fascism is very different than the religio-cultural fascism of mid-twentieth fascist and military dictators. If there's one thing americans have no control over, it is their employer. America has built that firmly into the publics cultural and authoritarian bias. True dissent cannot happen because dissent is bound up in the nations management of economy, and that economical model is international in scope. Even democratic nations don't want to mess with the money side of this worldwide economy.

Ever since the civil war, the right-wing political spectrum, which is embodied in either political party here in the US, has always taken the opportunity to thwart justice, equality under the law, while the left is left with the chipping away of civil and social liberties or progressive ideals it manages to hang on to for sustenance.

Conservatism is all about money first and traditional religio-cultural traditions second. That's simple, isn't it? But making money is more about how well you survive under the circumstances of the environment you live in. It's more than a trade for value, work for food, rent, freedom. That can be quite a load of interactions as well could be a menagerie of disagreement or discussions or compromises. On the other hand, tradition is in the eyes of the beholder. Its obvious why slavery is a big draw for those who want their cake and eat it too. The people who do the work for you can be socially, culturally, religiously obliterated. Of course there is one problem, at least one. If you're the boss, your religion is based on christian love and values, your cultural values are square dancing and fiddling but your slave is an animist, singing and dancing, even under the duress you're putting on them, and music is drum, what exceptions to your religious and traditional beliefs are you going to make in order to punish, eliminate, or deny the differences, especially when you think your traditions came from your god and the slave doesn't have the same god?

Here's an idea. Since time immemorial, humans have been subjected to the whims of fickle nature. Sometimes there plenty, sometimes there's little. Moving around the world is as natural as anything can be. When agriculture came into human pre-history and later on, sometimes the crop wasnt good or there was drought, so people moved.

 Their willing to let alot of things slide and ride in order to keep the economy going.

America is being run like an international corporation, and the money cult leaders are willing to destroy the economy if it will benefit them in the end.

It doesnt really matter whether I'm completely right or not about the specifics, but, since we're moving in that direction, reversing who the cult leader is only demonstrates how little can be done. There are two primary examples of how this one works. The CEO's took the power of budgetary control away from Congress. This gave them the power over nearly all institutional monies, including military, without any pretense to a democratic process as outlined in our constitution. Once that was done, then nearly every decision, even whether to go to war or not, is left to them, their so-called managerial experience.

That's a mouthful. Fascism always exists within a framework of any nation's political history. The counterbalance to fascism are just ideals, principles, maintained by freedoms of opinions, facts, truths. There is little tangible there, unlike a government run on the profit system. That speaks to peoples pocketbooks. Meat and potatoes. It's always been true that between fascism and total freedom is some sort of democratic ideal Each side uses the levers of truth, lie, right and wrong, however they are decided upon, to control the democratic impulse in their favor. That's why democracy itself is neither good or evil. That's why Hitler can be "elected". No one can understand in hindsight, why anyone would have wanted such an evil man. But hindsight is not necessarily seeing. Making a living, survival, independence in America has always been dependent on how much money is necessary to survive. How much freedom, how much equality can any nation AFFORD to have? Only as much as the money people decide. These particular oligarchs are so wealthy and powerful, they could share, just like america in the fifties, they could be more beneficent, as they have in the past when politicians took their role more seriosly that they made the wealthy share. But no more. They would rather turn beachfront into rubble then build something else. It doesn't matter that the property isn't their's according to rules and standards of the past because now they can say we did the work to destroy what is there, so we can do what we want.

There were plenty of people in the thirties and forties, inside and outside Germany, who realized what was happening, wrote about it, organized around it, shouted out about it. Germanys run up to war and genocide was well documented by its progenitors, such as Hitler himself, and its detractors, who despite their resistant voices or reason never took hold. History is not a monolithic stream of events and complete silence is never a reality, even among a stronger fascist government. There are always voices, and it is imperative that those oppositions survive, to live and fight another day.
