The World is a Democracy

CAPITALISM is better than SOCIALISM… until it becomes PLUTOCRACY. At that point, they are the same thing: The many are ruled by a few. What does it matter if the rulers are politicians or merchants? If they control what we need, they control our lives.

Socialists may be elected. Capitalists are empowered by purchases. The one is chosen by votes and the other enriched by what we are willing to pay for. The problem is not a problem until the choices that are our own become theirs. At that point they choose for us… but in their own interests. We become their slaves, for we have lost our say in any matter.

FASCISM is better than COMMUNISM… though both are socialist. Both are murderous. The fascists discriminate in their killing. The communists ultimately do not. Fascism may enrich its people, even if at the expense of other people. Communism impoverishes everyone.

The proponents of every ideology are self-righteous. Though capitalists are greedy, they tout their system as prosperous. Though fascists are oppressive, they fancy their system as law and order. Though communists are murderous, they celebrate their indiscriminate killing as “fairness,” which it is.

The rulers of the world are evil, whether capitalists or socialists. They are the selfish, disloyal and disobedient who demand our selfless loyalty and obedience. They all come to power by the will of the people, mind you. The capitalists are empowered by the lusts of the common folk. The fascists are empowered by the fear of the common folk. The Communists are empowered by the laziness of the common folk. The power is always from THE PEOPLE, the ruled and rulers alike.

Perhaps you are not to blame. You still live in a world full of those who are to blame. Alas, the very world is democratic indeed, for the fate of every generation is decided by its majority.

Violence Galore

Only the depraved fancy murder and war as good things. They do so with the idea that other people suffer the consequences. Murder may be gratifying if you are the murderer. War may be advantageous if it gains you wealth and power. To the victims and their loved ones, however, murder and war are horrors.

Much of our fiction is about murder and war, and not because we are fond of such things. On the contrary: they are interesting because they are horrible. The villains are the murderers and the warmongers, not our heroes. If we loved murder and war, our fiction would have the heroes as the murderers and warmongers. When they are, we call them “antiheroes” to separate them from our ideals.

Why are murder and war common if most people dislike them? Well, most people do not really care unless they or their loved ones are the victims. They are indifferent… until it is too late.

You, as an individual, cannot change the world. It fancies murder and war, whether you do or not. It shall perpetuate murder and war, no matter how hard you try to stop it. You are only to blame if you commit or allow such things within your power.

All things are clean of themselves, and murder and war are not exceptions. To deliberately kill people can be a good thing, no matter how many people you kill or whether they are men or women or children or young or old. To fight and kill may be the right thing to do, even when to the destruction of an entire tribe, nation, race or culture.

Why does God allow murder and war? Why not? Sometimes he commits murder. Sometimes he wages war. You think to judge him? I laugh at you. Even as a mortal man, I can see your hypocrisy.

Murder and war are not forever. They serve a purpose and shall continue till they have served that purpose. What is that purpose? Well, they test you. They also inspire you. What would our games and movies be without them?
