All the American people have to do is to say, "You say you're rich? Prove it. Show me the wealth. I don't mean show me the money as it's snuggled in your computer database or on your books as numbers you thought would be beneficial to you. I mean, show me the wealth. How is your wealth adding value to anything other than our perception of what you tell us we should believe?"
Anarchy is a bit like what I envision "pure communism" to be. One great big commune in which everyone gives what they can and no one takes more than they need. We know that's a paraphrase of one of the most important premises of pure communism.
And don't tell Libertarians because they'd be pissed, but they count on the same safety net that anarchy and communism count on; the innate goodness of human kind.
Is this the innate goodness that drives people to force place holders for former government positions to send men and women to their deaths for the purpose of stealing riches and minerals and fossil fuels from nations who really want the revenues from those riches to improve the lives of the people in their own countries? Is this the innate goodness which drives the top officers of corporations to send American jobs to third world slave nations, sending once seemingly stable Americans into the throes of poverty? Is this the innate goodness that drives Corporatists to force place holders for former government positions to send the CIA into Latin America to assassinate people like Salvador Allende and to threaten and demonize Hugo Chà ¡vez? Is this the same innate goodness that whips up hate against brown skinned people coming to what was once their country anyway and taking jobs offered them by those very same instigators?
Sure, government's been intrusive and belligerent and demanding. However, you can't be talking about the so-called Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Reagan administrations. These are/were not governments. These are metaphoric holograms displayed before a people which are obsessed with peeping tom reality TV. They are objects of Americans' love or hate, depending if it's a blue one or a red one.
Oh, and the Tea Party movement. I submit that anyone who belongs to the Tea Party movement and is not disingenuous is working with an IQ in the single digits. To not realize that those who commercially birthed this movement are working against the best interests of anyone who might consider herself or himself a populist is to be unaware of the sun, the rain and little green apples. To not realize that this movement has as its goal to dispense with all of its so called backers as soon as its corporate vision of "all for some and none for most" is fully realized, and it's close, is to be blind as a bat only without the aid of the animal's radar like senses.
This has been all gloom and doom because to undo what we've allowed to happen when such a large portion of the population still can't see the forest for Dancing With The Stars is a task which can only be accomplished by an entity I'm as sure as I can be doesn't exist. Only such an entity can inform everyone who is being scammed that they are being scammed and he/she/it doesn't seem to be coming forward with that information, allowing poverty to grow along with the make believe money that Goldman Sachs passes out as bonuses every year.
As long as we are at odds with ourselves, we'll never defeat what is, indeed, a real enemy.
