Libertarians vs. Pseudo-Socialists
I’ve been following some political chitchats lately and I started noticing that specially in today’s political scenery in America there is an exaltation of what’s considered as a liberal sociopolitical ideology. De facto that is starting to become a world wide trend unfortunately!
To be honest, it didn’t come to me until now recently how big this is! It seems the Trump effect has something to do with it! What I’m going to write now doesn’t have the main intention to hang up this particular “ideology” if it might be called as such or whatever forms or names it might have like neo-liberalism, free-marketers … I’ll try to focus more on this corrupt system that allows such a spectrum of insane political pseudo ideologies to grow in the beliefs of some people that end up tagging themselves from libertarians to pseudo-socialists without understanding how fucked up this actually is!
But first, I need to describe how each of those extreme “ideologies” and their supporters or leaders look like through my eyes in today’s political scenery in western Europe and northern America!
Liberal ideology
Well it all started when human beings for the first time in their known history had an agreement over a system that would make their lives easier. First they agreed that a sort of a trade convention should exist and that currency should be used in order to increase safety, durability and unalterability in exchanges. That was the start! With that came out, rule and regulation number one, for what’s called “market exchanges” and financial systems. Now I think it should be obvious for everyone that, it was not a complicated rule! It’s quite clear as well to understand that it did bear a lot of deficiencies and incompleteness-es! Therefore came later on even more rules and regulations but were themselves as well long from being perfect and were full of deficiencies. Things evolved even more and got more complicated. From finances to taxation, all those are sorts of frameworks that became more and more difficult to manage and maintain the more the system grew up and got diversified.
As far as one understands liberal think tanks and their analysis of the economy and therefore of politics and society, all those rules are way unnecessary and all evils and defects reside in them!
That’s a quite simplistic world view. Even worst, it is incomplete, misleading and thus dangerous, it goes against the evolution of mankind and tries to fool people to make them believe that they are better off as the primitives they used to be for many thousand years ago! There are definitely issues with all rules and regulations and nevertheless in the way the capitalist system itself works which is the major issue in my opinion. But fooling people by just pretending that the way “hell” was built with is what’s wrong and that living there should have been easier if it were done differently is pure heresy. Liberalism is just about believing that it could have been better if there were no rules for people driving on the roads, for trains running on the tracks, for planes flying and landing at airports and so on! A more idiotic ideology can not exist! It gets even worst when their defenders try to justify it by trying to limit some aspects of such a heresy and twisting rules in a way to make them always fit the survivor, the lucky, the God chosen and try to compare it to natural phenomenons. According to such supporters, human beings are definitely the luckiest animals on earth and that’s just because God ordered it! So let things grow like in a jungle, let the fittest survive and let the rich get richer and the hell with the weak who shouldn’t have been here in the first place — that’s definitely the result of communism from the last millennium!
That could have been true, except that those ignorants did not understand the very basic principle in nature which orders all rules. That principle is about the fact that the strong is highly dependent on the weak and vice versa in any intelligent system that requires some collective efforts:
Lucky humans needed to tame the weak animals but needed not to make them die in the process or even sometimes needed to insure that they rather thrive, for that they needed to invent methods and rules.
Tribe chiefs needed to have hierarchy and rules in order control their people in primitive societies and they needed to make sure that they are happy otherwise they could have revolutions.
Last but not least even males and females within our specie needed to have some protocols and rules, they needed to have rituals and weddings and so on, even though most of those rules seem to favor the male, they still needed to be well under control and needed to respect a minimum of dignity for the female otherwise reproduction could have stopped!
So rules and regulations are clearly enough the only way to go when it gets to a group of “intelligent” creatures seeking survival and even prosperity through stability and cooperation. But maybe libertarians don’t need that because probably according to the imagination of each and everyone of them they are living each on own island like Robinson Crusoe! And they are maybe self cloning creatures that don’t need to mate for reproduction!
Now, how could such an “ideology” even end up being accepted as such? Who would even believe this crap apart from the drunken the high and the extremely rich living in a constant euphoria and that doesn’t even understand how come he/she became that rich and the only explanation he/she might have is that it’s God’s will through “liberalism”? It doesn’t even help and you don’t get much smarter neither if you end up being a president of a super nuclear power, you would even become more insane on the matter and even try to push your subjects to adopt your personal world view through abusing your power!
Well a lot of possible explanations that definitely form well combined a good theory about how a madness can turn into an “ideology”: it is only a corrupt and a dysfunctional system that could generate a haven for such a thing! Let’s continue further to understand more.
Pseudo Socialism
Labors, social democrats, lefties of all sorts (even some of those species in some places, daringly and arrogantly call themselves “socialists” like in France!)… A lot of names but a few coherent meanings, unfortunately! Even though most of those are natural consequences of a system that was evolving from the beginning of times: from the time human societies were built on slaveries, continuous conquests and subordinations, to the recent times of industrialized societies that call themselves “democracies” and try to make us believe that they are “globalized” — which is totally wrong by the way but this is a subject to another discussion! Those class-societies had always someone smart enough living in the lower classes that could tell his/her mates that they are being abused and that they need to ask for more freedom, more rights and more power. BUT they never tell them that they actually should get back all their freedom, regain all their rights and even get hold of all the power in a collective and democratically shared manner, otherwise those smarties would lose their positions! Because leaders of such movements happen to be among the most crooked creatures on this planet, they use to have just one goal: just replace the power in the hands of liberals/conservatives/royalists and so on, and it needs to be done in a controlled manner. A revolution is a very risky operation for those opportunists, because they might lose control under the tumultuous circumstances that a revolution might induce and thus lose everything, and they try to keep it as a last resort always! In fact, it’s a proven truth by facts that up to now , it just never happened that a pseudo socialist leader had ever conducted a real political revolution!
I won’t be developing in here right now on what are the real options that those wicked leaders with high ambitions of such political parties and think tanks could have chosen in order to promote the real socialism and the arising of the lower classes for appropriating their full rights in front of small and minor national elites that most of the time centralize the biggest part of wealth and capitalize on it throughout their own and even their descendants’ entire lives ! But a simple thing those corrupt pseudo socialist leaders could have done, if they were sincere to their own ideologies and thus to their party fellows, is that they could have just kept their words and promises whenever they get elected as head of states or executives! That never happened not even once, throughout the recent history, even though it is quite common that such populists get indeed often elected after long campaigns of pseudo socialist lies!
True that real socialism never existed except in books and theories unfortunately. There were made attempts to reach it of course in the former Soviet union, it failed! The reasons of failure are definitely not the ideology itself but the way it was implemented with. Not going to digress on that subject right now, but a few words to say that in the absence of efforts to get to the real socialism almost anywhere else on earth, fake pseudo socialist leaders in western Europe and northern America, thrive in their vices, they now have a bigger chance to get away with it: they will definitely never be held accountable for their failures to bring power to the people and for not stopping the plutocracy which they end up integrating themselves in order to keep the power in their hands as long as possible. They will now constantly abuse the excuse of “failed communism” this is something that those villains did not dare to mention all the way when there was still attempts to get to real socialism in the former Soviet states. The day the Soviet union collapsed it must have been the luckiest day for those highly ambitious opportunists, they felt finally safe!
Like libertarians, pseudo socialists don’t really understand that they are being cheated upon, they still believe in their leaders. Even though their base ideological choice might be pointing in the right direction in theory (which libertarians clearly miss — and here we have a clear divergence), they absolutely ignore that the leaders they appointed for their extreme majority are just cheating lying populists that would make all they can to look like socialists but in fact that are just repeating and continuing the exact same policies of self called liberals, conservatives and all other types of right wing politicians …
Shortly summarized, pseudo socialist political leaders have hijacked the real socialist ideology turning it into a puppet show for plutocrats and disabling its real efficiency, its means and its ultimate goals, removing real radicalism from it and keeping it radical enough just to keep those bastards and their profiteers in power like any other corrupt leaders on the globe — dictators are actually much better!
Disaster
There is no doubt that such a mess where pseudo socialists have disgraced their base ideology under commandment of a corrupt elite can inspire people with very basic understandings of economics, politics and social sciences and sometimes being almost illiterate to believe in something such as “liberalism” with hope that it will fish them out of their misery one day! They have absolutely been taught and brain washed all their lives that “we’ve been there and done that, look at communism, in addition can’t you see how corrupt those well educated lefties are? Just take a look at their leaders!”.
This is a disaster, soon those “democracies” must have to wake up from this deadly confusion and messy chaos, but obviously it would be too late (either woken up by others, like in the aftermath of disastrous wars or when their own systems will collapse on their own heads). And they will start nagging and wondering over what went wrong? The answer will be easy: you people forgot the basic rules of nature and human evolution, to a point that you ended up mixing up things, as simple as that. Not even distinguishing between the primitive stages of evolution and how to evolve from it, and the ultimate stages and how to aspire to it and hopefully get there one day, and last but not least you trusted too much the system and your shepherds which happen to be corrupt from tip to toe and you were too blind to see it. You never dared to change them, to even challenge them a bit on their open corruption, nor to criticize them consequently and seriously about how they constantly fail to deliver whilst blaming each others’ bankrupt and fake “ideologies”! That’s your fate, you deserved it!
