Bottom Line: Slavery

This is specifically a political blog entry:

I study people's views. I try to understand where people are coming from when they put out their opinions.

Over the years, it became obvious to me that all the political parties/philosophies had the same basis, the same bottom line, and all were bickering only about what was above that bottom line.

And that bottom line is the money system.

The Left wing sees the use of money as an unequal system of control which would work if it had a balancing factor.

The Right wing sees money as freedom and basically a merit system, where those who can get the most are superior to those who fail to get lots of it.

The Left wants to take away the aspects of the system which imposes draconion economic conditions on people who are not the winners of the system.

The Right wants to let the economic system rule itself, so the winners of the system can do what they like to the losers in the system.

Both talk about freedom like the other is trying to take it away from everyone. And I think that is true, basically because they cannot see the reality of life. They both assume that the money system is inherent in life and will always be inherent in life.

So, from my perspective, the Left wants to set up a Social Fascism.
The Right wants to set up an Economic Fascism.
Neither has the slightest clue what Freedom is.

To me, it's like two slaves, locked in chains, are arguing about what they can reach despite their chains. They are arguing about what direction they should stretch their legs out to reach farther, left or right.

They are both arguing that they are freer if they stretch their legs out in their favorite directions.

And they are so insane about it, both are afraid the other will kill him. So they rage and scream and threaten each other.

Meanwhile, the slave master watches, glad the two slaves are so occupied with their raging argument that they don't notice that if they worked together, they could take the chains off and really be free. That is the slave master's worse nightmare.

And the slave master is also chained, although his chains is made of gold plated steel. And the slave master is as chained as they are, not realizing if he freed the two slaves and all three of them worked together, they would all be freer than they are now, far far freer. They might even break out of their prison into the sunlight.

They are all so utterly naive!

And the prison is going to eventually collapse on their head. The walls are cracking, the roof sinking in, the pillars flaking under the stress. They know this, but they ignore it. They can't even imagine the prison collapsing. That is so sad!
