In the last century, we saw some serious attempts of the world moving toward a more rationally organized bureaucratic societies, trying to eliminate classical class distinctions, and stiff unbalances. The major engines were the industrial capitalism and its corporate world, led by the US and few European countries, and on the other side the state Socialism of the Soviet Union, or what we term as communism.
After one model managed to eliminate the other, we are now witnessing a new bizarre situation of self destruction by the winners themselves, and a creation of a totally estranged new class of politico/industrial wealthy new rulers, against practically everyone else . A class so rich, so cocooned within its own walls, so craving for absolute power and recognition, that makes them look more for revenge than sane governing. They long for God manhood trying to combine divinity, power and wealth. Thinking and behaving in ways to attain wisdom and absolute dominance over the Universal State .
It's up to history and the earth populations to determine if this self created class is the future of humanity and accordingly how to interpret the present and think the lessons of the past . Our modern age, and all its advancements, have in every way progressed way beyond our slower historical past, and is superior to the classical world, whereby our attained wisdom should have the most profound effects on how we think these matters and how we proceed into our future .
The world and especially the Western political experiences of the last few centuries, showed clearly how quick new tyrannies could evolve and establish, even democratically, and most intellectuals of the world failed to recognize these tyrannies for what they were, and in which direction they were taking humanity with them, a true assault on every bit of political, social and moral decency .
We are in our days living an approach to take over completely by the worst tyrannical forms . A state of affair where human beings can be no more, not in the historical sense we know . Becoming less human by abandoning the quest for enlightenment, equality, dignity and moral perfection. A state of affair governed by tyrants who win by dehumanizing the rest , whose suffering does not concern their success in shaping their tactics and strategies.
The fate of losers hold no interest for this class, only winning, and absolute power and wealth is their motto. A new kind of society is in the making with these ugly models all around us, that fit so well with the paranoid style of American politics, Syrian criminality, Israeli hysterical fascism and ugly colonialism, Russian and Turkish modern dictatorships, all theocracies and oligarchies where the political has once again become the personal , transforming their societies as a whole . When we thought that tyranny was a thing of the past, we see it sprouting all over again .
All my thanks to all as usual .
