Bu those 50 years are catching up to us with flawed logic on the social concepts. much liek the quotes in that blog post at the end. And the orginialist concept i think has failed simply because of the failure of governments to maintain certain rights and give favor to those who are rich...generalizing without actual instances of course. And not denying other variables of course.
I do see how the rich can make slave labor out of people. I also see the rich and the poor as remoras and sharks. A remora may want to be a shark but genetics and life jsut didnt let them. Hopefully both work to better each others lives. They need each other. The rich cant make money if they have no one to run there business or buy from them. There is a natural balance to it. But the balance gets distorted through special treatment by the governments interest in private affairs. It is impossible to keep a natural balance when they do that. I also get its human nature to be greedy, envious power hungry and such things amongst different individuals which makes a balance hard to keep. But thats where education in the philosophies can keep things more balanced with educated voters. And voters won't let politicians pander to there individual greed. People need to conquer there own desires first to see clear. And edu can help that or hinder it depending on curriculum.
“Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. “
There is no perfect solution. The ideology I follow and practice is what i find as the best solution to the turmoil. I also except the fact that perhaps the rise and fall of civilizations is purely just cycles like seasons, and it jsut will happen. And even may be necessary for growth. The creation/destruction that continually happens to debase stagnation. Perhaps we need a few more generations of chaos and war to create a single nation that can either rise or fall and to form humans more into ants then individuals. Could be the natural process. Largest gang working together will crush an individual.
I just try my logic as those before me that i bite words and knowledge from. And am comforted with the knowledge that at least i wont have to suffer at the worst of times.... hopefully. Ill jsut keep spitting my spit and see what happens
